The selective regulation of macroautophagy remains poorly defined. Here we report that PDGFR signaling is an essential selective promoter of hypoxia-induced macroautophagy. Hypoxia-induced macroautophagy in tumor cells is also HIF1 alpha-dependent, with HIF1 alpha integrating signals from PDGFRs and oxygen tension. Inhibition of PDGFR signaling reduces HIF1 alpha half-life, despite buffering of steady-state protein levels by a compensatory increase in HIF1 alpha mRNA. This markedly changes HIF1 alpha protein pool dynamics, and consequently reduces the HIF1 alpha transcriptome. As autocrine growth factor signaling is a hallmark of many cancers, cell-autonomous enhancement of HIF1 alpha-mediated macroautophagy may represent a mechanism for augmenting tumor cell survival under hypoxic conditions.
