NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in signaling cascades that regulate cancer cell proliferation. To evaluate and validate NOX5 expression in human tumors, we screened a broad range of tissue microarrays (TMAs), and report substantial overexpression of NOX5 in malignant melanoma and cancers of the prostate, breast, and ovary. In human UACC‐257 melanoma cells that possesses high levels of functional endogenous NOX5, overexpression of NOX5 resulted in enhanced cell growth, increased numbers of BrdU positive cells, and increased γ‐H2AX levels. Additionally, NOX5‐overexpressing (stable and inducible) UACC‐257 cells demonstrated increased normoxic HIF‐1α expression and decreased p27 Kip1  expression. Similarly, increased normoxic HIF‐1α expression and decreased p27 Kip1  expression were observed in stable NOX5‐overexpressing clones of KARPAS 299 human lymphoma cells and in the human prostate cancer cell line, PC‐3. Conversely, knockdown of endogenous NOX5 in UACC‐257 cells resulted in decreased cell growth, decreased HIF‐1α expression, and increased p27 Kip1  expression. Likewise, in an additional human melanoma cell line, WM852, and in PC‐3 cells, transient knockdown of endogenous NOX5 resulted in increased p27 Kip1  and decreased HIF‐1α expression. Knockdown of endogenous NOX5 in UACC‐257 cells resulted in decreased Akt and GSK3β phosphorylation, signaling pathways known to modulate p27 Kip1  levels. In summary, our findings suggest that NOX5 expression in human UACC‐257 melanoma cells could contribute to cell proliferation due, in part, to the generation of high local concentrations of extracellular ROS that modulate multiple pathways that regulate HIF‐1α and networks that signal through Akt/GSK3β/p27 Kip1 .
