Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) is an important cellular survival protein under hypoxic conditions, regulating the cellular response to low oxygen tension via recruitment of a transcriptional co-activator, p300/CBP. p300/CBP induces expression of multiple genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, and tumor development. Thus, a strategy to inhibit hypoxic responses in tumors may be to target the protein-protein interaction between HIF1α and p300/CBP. Here, we document, for the first time, that the aminocoumarin antibiotic, novobiocin, directly blocks the protein-protein interaction between the HIF1α C-terminal activation domain (CTAD) and the cysteine-histidine rich (CH1) region of p300/CBP. Also, novobiocin down-regulated HIF1α-controlled gene expression, specifically CA9, which is related to tumorigenesis. In a monolayer cell culture, novobiocin inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in the MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line and the A549 human lung cancer cell line. Rescue experiments revealed that the recombinant CTAD fragment of HIF1α partially reversed novobiocin’s inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and colony formation in MCF-7 cells. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of action for novobiocin which has the potential for innovative therapeutic use in tumor treatment.
