Calcium ion is one of the most important second messengers of cellular signal transduction including hypoxia-elicited signals. in this study, we investigated the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine, efonidipine cilnidipine, diltiazem, and verapamil, on the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a key transcription factor in control of hypoxia-induced gene expression. Using the lung carcinoma cell line A549 cells, human aortic smooth muscle cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, we demonstrated that cilnidipine exclusively suppressed HIF-1 activity and the expressions of downstream genes in a cell-type specific manner. We also demonstrated that cilnidipine blocked the synthesis of the HIF-1 alpha Protein not by affecting activity of the intracellular hypoxia-sensing element prolyl hydroxylases but inhibiting activity of Akt and nitrogen-activated protein kinase and that the inhibition is not dependent on the effect oil calcium homeostasis.
