Relationship of Hypoxia-inducible Factor (HIF)-1{alpha} and HIF-2{alpha} Expression to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Induction and Hypoxia Survival in Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1 and HIF-2) are two closely related protein complexes that activate transcription of target genes in response to hypoxia. Expression of HIF-1{alpha} and HIF-2{alpha} and their effects on survival under hypoxia were studied in six human breast cancer cell lines. We also evaluated the basal and inducible expression of two hypoxically regulated genes, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A). All of the cell lines studied expressed HIF-1{alpha} at various levels, but HIF-2{alpha} was low or absent from the more aggressive cell lines. There was an inverse correlation between HIF-1{alpha} and HIF-2{alpha} induction and clonogenic survival under hypoxia. Thus, cell lines with reduced induction of HIF-1{alpha} or HIF-2{alpha} showed high basal levels of VEGF and improved survival under hypoxia. A reduction in HIF expression was also associated with a more aggressive phenotype in vivo. To confirm these results, we carried out stable transfection of the MDA 435 cell line with human HIF-2{alpha} cDNA. There was no change in the growth rate in monolayer culture. However, in vitro growth as colonies and in vivo tumor growth of the HIF-2{alpha} overexpressing cells were significantly impaired compared with the control transfectants. Thus, despite the fact that HIF proteins are necessary for optimal tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo, overexpression of these molecules seems detrimental to tumor growth. A balance between the angiogenic and tumor-inhibiting levels of HIF proteins may, therefore, be necessary for optimal tumor growth.
