(−)‐Epigallocatechin‐3‐ O ‐gallate (EGCG) exhibits anti‐tumor activity mediated via the 67‐kDa laminin receptor (67LR). In this study, we found that 67LR protein levels are reduced by exposure to low O 2 levels (5%), without affecting the expression of HIF‐1α. We also found that EGCG‐induced anti‐cancer activity is abrogated under low O 2 levels (5%) in various cancer cells. Notably, treatment with the proteasome inhibitor, prevented down‐regulation of 67LR and restored sensitivity to EGCG under 5% O 2 . In summary, 67LR expression is highly sensitive to O 2 partial pressure, and the activity of EGCG can be regulated in cancer cells by O 2 partial pressure.
