Glucosamine hydrochloride downregulates hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) protein expression in YD-8 human tongue cancer cells under normoxic conditions. The mechanism involves interference with the production of citric acid cycle intermediates, as the effect is blunted by exogenous citrate or 2-oxoglutarate [3].
It also inhibits phosphorylation of p70S6K and S6, translation-related proteins, but this is not directly linked to HIF-1α downregulation [3]. It increases phosphorylation of eIF-2α [3]. |

| ln Vitro |
The DPPH antioxidant activity of glucosesamine sulfate (also known as D-glucosamine sulfate) is dose-dependent [2]. A four-hour short-term treatment with glucosamine sulfate can decrease the phosphorylation of translation-related proteins p70S6K and S6 and inhibit HIF-1α at the protein level [3]. In renal cells treated with TGF-β1 and blocked kidneys, glucosesamine sulfate dramatically lowers renal expression of fibronectin, type I collagen, and α-smooth muscle actin [4].
Glucosamine hydrochloride (1–10 mM) for short-term (4 h) treatment selectively downregulates HIF-1α protein expression in a concentration-dependent manner in YD-8 cells, without affecting HIF-1α mRNA, HIF-1β protein, or HIF-1β mRNA levels [3]. Long-term (24 h) treatment with glucosamine hydrochloride (1–10 mM) downregulates both HIF-1α and HIF-1β at protein and mRNA levels in YD-8 cells [3]. Short-term (2 or 4 h) treatment with glucosamine hydrochloride (10 mM) decreases phosphorylation of p70S6K and S6, and increases phosphorylation of eIF-2α in YD-8 cells [3]. The inhibitory effect of short-term glucosamine hydrochloride (10 mM, 4 h) on HIF-1α protein is blocked by the 26S proteasome inhibitor MG132, but not by the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine [3]. Short-term glucosamine hydrochloride treatment does not alter HIF-1α protein stability, as determined by cycloheximide chase assay [3]. The downregulation of HIF-1α by short-term glucosamine hydrochloride (10 mM, 4 h) is blunted by exogenous supplementation with citrate (1.5 mM) or 2-oxoglutarate (1.5 mM), but not by pyruvate (1.5 mM) or lactate (1.5 mM) [3]. Short-term (4 h) treatment with glucosamine sulfate (10 mM) or N-acetyl glucosamine (10 mM) does not affect HIF-1α protein expression in YD-8 cells [3]. |
| ln Vivo |
Glucosamine hydrochloride (20, 40, or 60 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal injection) administered daily starting 7 days prior to unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) surgery in male C57BL/6 mice significantly reduces renal fibrosis 14 days after UUO. Semiquantitative analysis shows that 40 and 60 mg/kg doses significantly lower fibrosis scores compared to PBS-treated controls [4].
Glucosamine hydrochloride (40 or 60 mg/kg/day) decreases UUO-induced mRNA expression of α-SMA, collagen I, and fibronectin in obstructed kidneys, as measured by RT-PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR [4]. Glucosamine hydrochloride (40 or 60 mg/kg/day) reduces UUO-induced protein expression of α-SMA (by immunofluorescence) and fibronectin (by immunohistochemistry) in obstructed kidneys [4]. Glucosamine hydrochloride (40 or 60 mg/kg/day) suppresses UUO-induced Smad3 phosphorylation in obstructed kidneys, as shown by immunohistochemistry [4]. Glucosamine hydrochloride (40 or 60 mg/kg/day) reduces UUO-induced CTGF mRNA expression but does not affect TGF-β1 mRNA or active dimeric TGF-β1 protein levels [4]. |
| Cell Assay |
YD-8 human tongue cancer cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. For protein analysis, cells (0.5 × 10⁶ per well in 6-well plates) were treated with glucosamine hydrochloride at indicated concentrations (1, 5, or 10 mM) for 4 or 24 h. Whole cell lysates were prepared using lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors, and protein concentrations were determined by Bradford assay. Western blot analysis was performed with 50 μg protein per sample, separated by 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, and probed with antibodies against HIF-1α, HIF-1β, p-p70S6K, p-S6, p-eIF-2α, and actin [3].
For mRNA analysis, total RNA was isolated using RNAzol-B, and 3 μg of RNA was reverse transcribed. PCR was performed with specific primers for HIF-1α, HIF-1β, and actin. Actin was used as internal control [3]. For HIF-1α stability assay, YD-8 cells were cultured in serum-containing medium for 4 h to induce HIF-1α, then treated with cycloheximide (translation inhibitor) with or without glucosamine hydrochloride (10 mM) for 0.25, 0.5, or 1 h. HIF-1α protein levels were analyzed by Western blot [3]. For pharmacological inhibition studies, cells were treated with MG132 (26S proteasome inhibitor) or chloroquine (lysosomal inhibitor) with or without glucosamine hydrochloride (10 mM) for 4 h, and HIF-1α expression was analyzed by Western blot [3]. For glucose metabolite supplementation, cells were treated with glucosamine hydrochloride (10 mM) in the presence or absence of pyruvate (1.5 mM), lactate (1.5 mM), citrate (1.5 mM), or 2-oxoglutarate (1.5 mM) for 4 h, and HIF-1α expression was analyzed by Western blot [3]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Male C57BL/6 mice (n=5 per group) were used. Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was performed under anesthesia. Glucosamine hydrochloride was dissolved in PBS and administered via intraperitoneal injection daily at doses of 20, 40, or 60 mg/kg body weight, starting 7 days prior to UUO surgery. Mice were sacrificed 14 days after UUO, and kidney tissues were collected for histological and molecular analyses. Sham-operated mice served as controls [4].
Kidney sections (4 μm) were stained with Masson’s trichrome for fibrosis assessment. Fibrosis was graded semiquantitatively using the Banff criteria (score 0–3) based on the percentage of fibrotic area in the renal cortex [4]. Immunohistochemistry was performed on kidney sections using anti-phospho-Smad3 and anti-fibronectin antibodies [4]. Male C57BL/6 mice (n=5 per group) were used.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The authors cite that humans tolerate at least 184 mg/kg/day of glucosamine hydrochloride without documented toxicity or side effects. Large doses of glucosamine supplementation neither cause glucose intolerance nor affect glucose metabolism [4].

| Additional Infomation |
Glucosamine sulfate is an amino sugar (2-amino-2-deoxyglucose) found in cell membranes. Glucosamine sulfate is thought to play a role in cartilage formation and repair. Long-term use of glucosamine sulfate can slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis; the mechanism appears to be related to glucosamine serving as an important substrate for glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid, both essential for the formation of the articular proteoglycan matrix. (NCI04)
See also: Glucosamine sulfate (note moved to). Glucosamine hydrochloride is an amino sugar widely used as a dietary supplement for joint-related diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activities, including inhibition of COX-2, iNOS, MMPs, and NF-κB. Accumulating evidence also supports anticancer effects, including inhibition of tumor growth and induction of apoptosis in various cancer cell lines (prostate, breast, leukemia, glioma, tongue). The present study reveals a novel mechanism: short-term glucosamine hydrochloride treatment selectively downregulates HIF-1α protein in YD-8 tongue cancer cells by interfering with the production of citric acid cycle intermediates, without affecting global protein synthesis. This effect is specific to the hydrochloride salt, as glucosamine sulfate and N-acetyl glucosamine did not show similar activity [3]. |
