Mouse Snail Is a Target Gene for HIF
Abstract
The transcriptional inhibitor Snail is a critical regulator for epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Although low oxygen induces Snail transcription, thereby stimulating EMT, a direct role of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) in this process remains to be demonstrated. Here we show that hypoxia induces the expression of Snail via HIF. In silico analysis identified a potential hypoxia-response element (HRE) close to the minimal promoter of the human and mouse genome of the snail gene. Gel shift assays demonstrated that a specific hypoxia-inducible complex is formed with the putative HRE and that the complex contains HIF proteins. ChIP assays confirmed the interaction of HIF proteins with the putative HRE in vivo. Reporter gene analyses showed that the putative HRE responds to hypoxia in its natural position as well as in front of a heterologous promoter and that the HRE is directly activated by HIF-1α or HIF-2α. HIF knockdown with siRNA at 2% oxygen and overexpression of an oxygen-insensitive HIF (HIF-ΔODD) mutant at 21% oxygen showed that HIF regulates Snail activation and subsequent cell migration. Our findings identify snail as a HIF target gene and provide novel insights into the regulation of snail and hypoxia-induced EMT. Mol Cancer Res; 9(2); 234–45. ©2011 AACR.

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.
