Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Is a Key Regulator of Metastasis in a Transgenic Model of Cancer Initiation and Progression
Abstract
Adaptation to hypoxia is a critical step in tumor progression and is, in part, regulated by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Xenograft models have been extensively used to characterize the role of HIF-1α in experimental cancers. Although these models provide an understanding of tumor growth at terminal stages of malignancy, they do not address tumor initiation or metastatic progression. To elucidate these roles, HIF-1α was conditionally deleted in the mammary epithelium of a transgenic mouse model for metastatic breast cancer. Conditional deletion of HIF-1α in the mammary epithelium resulted in delayed tumor onset and retarded tumor growth; this was correlated with decreased tumor cell proliferation. Tumors with conditional deletion of HIF-1α were also less vascular during early tumor progression. Perhaps most surprisingly, deletion of HIF-1α in the mammary epithelium resulted in decreased pulmonary metastasis. These results show that whereas HIF-1α is not required for the initiation of breast tumor growth or tumor cell metastasis, the transcriptional activity of HIF-1α is a significant positive regulator of tumor progression and metastatic potential.

“Although the mechanism by which hypoxia amplifies the metastatic potential is still being studied, it is suggested that HIF-1 drives expression of a set of downstream genes that control processes implicated in migration and invasion [115, 116].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
