Top ABSTRACT Introduction Materials and Methods Results Discussion REFERENCES

 
Deficiencies in oxygenation are widespread in solid tumors. The transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is an important mediator of the hypoxic response of tumor cells and controls the up-regulation of a number of factors important for solid tumor expansion, including the angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We have isolated two cell lines nullizygous for HIF-1, one from embryos genetically null for HIF-1, and the other from embryos carrying loxP-flanked alleles of the gene, which allows for cre-mediated excision. The loss of HIF-1 negatively affects tumor growth in these two sets of H-ras-transformed cell lines, and this negative effect is not due to deficient vascularization. Despite differences in VEGF expression, vascular density is similar in wild-type and HIF-1-null tumors. The evidence from these experiments indicates that hypoxic response via HIF-1 is an important positive factor in solid tumor growth and that HIF-1 affects tumor expansion in ways unrelated to its regulation of VEGF expression.

	Introduction

Top ABSTRACT Introduction Materials and Methods Results Discussion REFERENCES

 
To understand the biology of tumor growth, it is critical to also understand the cellular response to changes in oxygen tension. The process of tumor expansion is characterized by rapid growth as a tumor establishes itself in the host. Accompanying this rapid growth are alterations in the microenvironment of the tumor cells, typically caused by an inability of the local vasculature to supply enough oxygen and nutrients to rapidly dividing tumor cells (1) . Whereas the hypoxia that results may inhibit new cell division or even lead to cell death (2, 3, 4, 5) , it can also lead to adaptive responses that will help the cells survive (6) . These responses include an induction of angiogenesis and a switch to anaerobic metabolism; in addition, hypoxia can act as a selective force within a tumor for cells that harbor mutations, further improving their chance for survival (7) . Hypoxia thus represents a paradox for those studying tumor growth: although oxygen deprivation can have negative effects on cell growth, the hypoxic response can mitigate those effects and even drive critical tumorigenic adaptations.

Control of the hypoxic response in mammalian cells occurs through a number of mechanisms, primarily transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms (8) . The transcription factor HIF-1² is one of the major regulators of hypoxic response (reviewed in Ref. 9 ) and was first identified by Semenza and colleagues (10, 11, 12) as a regulator of hypoxia-induced erythropoietin expression. The HIF-1 binding site was then found on a wide range of promoter elements of genes up-regulated by hypoxia. This provided the first indication that there was a common mechanism regulating hypoxic response via transcription. The activation of transcription by HIF-1 occurs through the oxygen-regulated stabilization of HIF-1, followed by its dimerization with ARNT, a constitutively expressed protein. Two other hypoxia-responsive homologues of the HIF-1 gene have been cloned, yet there appears to be little redundancy in hypoxic response (13, 14, 15, 16, 17) . In cells examined thus far, the loss of HIF-1 results in a total loss of binding to HIF-1 response elements (18 , 19) .

The hypoxic response would appear to promote tumor growth by promoting cell survival; this likely occurs through its induction of angiogenesis and its activation of anaerobic metabolism. Initial data have indicated that this is likely the case because loss of either HIF-1 or ARNT has been shown to retard tumor growth (19 , 20) . The mechanism for this retardation appears to be decreased vascularization accompanied by an increase in apoptosis. The decrease in vascularization presumably occurs in part through a loss of HIF-1-mediated expression of a critical effector of tumor angiogenesis, VEGF. These tumor data support a model in which the primary role of tumor hypoxia and the hypoxic response is to promote tumor angiogenesis. The role of HIF-1 as a tumor-promoting factor has become a controversial point, however, because recent work by one group has indicated that HIF-1 acts as a tumor suppressor, or negative factor, in ES cell-derived tumors (21) .

We have further explored this important issue through the generation of differentiated, genetically manipulated cell lines nullizygous for HIF-1. We report here the generation of wild-type and HIF-1-null H-ras- transformed mEFs. Our findings confirm that HIF-1 acts as a positive regulator of tumor growth in this cell type as well. Surprisingly, we found no difference in vascular density between wild-type and null tumors, despite the fact that VEGF induction under hypoxia was significantly reduced both in vitro and in vivo. Our data demonstrate that HIF-1 is a positive regulator of tumor growth after H-ras transformation of fibroblasts and that the loss of HIF-1 alters VEGF expression in vivo during solid tumor formation without a concomitant effect on vascular density in null tumors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the cre/loxP system will provide a useful way to understand the role of HIF-1 and the hypoxic response in other processes.

Creation of Mice Carrying a loxP-flanked Allele of HIF-1.
Genomic DNA was obtained as described previously (19) . A loxP site was engineered in the first intron through PCR, and a loxP-flanked neomycin resistance cassette was cloned into a SphI site in the second intron. The targeting vector was linearized, and 20 µg of the vector were electroporated into R1 ES cells (22) . The neomycin resistance cassette was removed by electroporation of 30 µg of a cre-expressing plasmid into targeted cells [pML 78 (23 , 24) ]. PCR was used to identify cell lines that had maintained loxP sites on either side of exon 2. Chimeric mice were generated by injection of ES cells into C57Bl/6 blastocysts (25) .

Isolation of Wild-Type and HIF-1-null mEFs.
Wild-type and HIF-1-null embryos were harvested at embryonic day 9.5, dissociated by incubation in 0.25% trypsin (Life Technologies, Inc.), and cultured. Embryos carrying two loxP-flanked alleles of HIF-1 were harvested at embryonic day 13.5, dissociated by passage through an 18-gauge needle, and cultured. Cells were immortalized by stable transfection of SV40 large T antigen, using Superfectamine (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and transformed by infection with a retrovirus expressing H-ras (26) . The +^f/+^fras/TAg cells were infected with adenovirus expressing either ß-galactosidase or cre recombinase.

The wild-type or null status of cells was confirmed by standard Southern blotting. Nuclear extracts were isolated from normoxic and hypoxic (4 h) cells by incubation in cell lysis buffer [10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP40, 1 µg/ml aprotinin, 1 µg/ml pepstatin A, 1 µg/ml leupeptin, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride] and separation of the nuclei by centrifugation. Nuclei were lysed by incubation in a buffer containing 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.9), 400 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), and 1 mM DTT. Extracts were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, electroblotting, and immunodetection with an anti-HIF-1 IgY antibody (27) . Detection of HIF-1 was performed using a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-IgY (Promega) secondary antibody and SuperSignal West Femto reagent from Pierce.

Target Gene Analysis.
Cells were cultured for 0 or 8 h under hypoxia, and RNA was extracted with Trizol reagent (Life Technologies, Inc.) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Approximately 15 µg of total RNA were loaded per lane, run on a 1% denaturing agarose gel, and hybridized with cDNA probes. Probes were generated as described in Ryan et al. (19) .

Generation of Fibrosarcomas.
A total of 1 x 10⁷ cells were injected s.c. intrascapularly into immunocompromised mice, either RAG1-/- mice (28) or nu/nu mice from Charles River. Tumors were harvested 16–18 days after injection, weighed, and processed for histology.

Tumor Histology.
Sections were cut from frozen tissue and stained for CD31 as described previously. Vessel density in the most vascular regions of the tumor was determined with a Chalkley eyepiece graticule as described by Fox et al. (29) .

In situ hybridization was performed on paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections using ³⁵S-UTP-labeled riboprobes as described previously (30 , 31) .

Creation of HIF-1-null H-ras-transformed Cell Lines.
To carry out initial characterization of differentiated cells that lack a functional HIF-1 allele, we generated lines directly from HIF-1 wild-type and null embryos. Embryos were harvested at embryonic day 9.5 and cells were immediately immortalized by stable transfection with SV40 large T antigen (32) . The cells were transformed by infection with a retrovirus expressing the activated H-ras allele (26) . Analysis of these cell lines by DNA and protein blotting confirmed their wild-type or null status, and they are referred to hereafter as +/+ ras/TAg or -/- ras/TAg cell lines (Fig. 1 , C and D).

We designed a conditional allele of HIF-1 in which the second exon is flanked by loxP sites. The second exon encodes the helix-loop-helix motif, which has been shown to be essential for HIF-1 dimerization with ARNT and subsequent transcriptional activation (34) . The targeting vector contains a loxP site in the first intron and a loxP-flanked neomycin resistance gene in the second intron (Fig. 1A ). Homologous recombination at the HIF-1 locus results in an allele with a loxP site 5' of exon 2 and the loxP-flanked neomycin resistance gene 3' of exon 2 (Fig. 1B ). It is possible that the presence of the neomycin resistance gene in the second intron could affect proper expression of HIF-1; to safeguard against this possibility, we transiently expressed cre recombinase in the targeted ES cells. A fraction of the ES cells excised the neomycin resistance gene but retained 5' and 3' loxP sites, whose presence was confirmed by PCR (data not shown). These ES cell clones were used for the generation of chimeras and mouse strains via blastocyst injection (25) .

Mice containing loxP-flanked alleles of HIF-1 were crossed, and mEFs were harvested from embryonic day 13.5 embryos that were homozygous (+^f/+^f) for the conditionally targeted allele. The cells were transformed with SV40 large T antigen and H-ras as described above.

We next generated HIF-1-null cells by transiently expressing cre recombinase to delete the loxP-flanked second exon. We used adenovirus to transiently express cre recombinase in +^f/+^f ras/TAg cell lines. An adenovirus expressing ß-galactosidase was also used to infect +^f/+^fras/TAg cells. These ß-galactosidase-infected cells were then used as wild-type controls in all of the following experiments and are referred to as +^f/+^fras/TAg cells. Cre-infected cells are referred to as -^f/-^f ras/Tag cells. Four to five days after infection, cells were assayed for excision of the second exon. DNA analysis via Southern blotting (Fig. 1C ) and PCR (data not shown) indicated complete excision of the second exon in the entire cell population. This was further confirmed by analysis of nuclear extracts from the conditionally targeted cells, which showed an absence of HIF-1 protein under hypoxic conditions (Fig. 1D ). ß-Galactosidase-infected cells maintained a wild-type Southern profile and expressed HIF-1 under hypoxia (Fig. 1 and D ). Both cell lines grew at similar rates in culture and formed similar numbers of colonies in soft agar assays (data not shown).

Loss of Hypoxia-mediated Transcriptional Induction in HIF-1-null mEFs.
HIF-1 regulates a wide array of genes in response to hypoxia. The loss of HIF-1 in ES cells leads to a reduction in hypoxic expression of VEGF and a number of other genes at the mRNA level (18 , 19) . We assayed both of the HIF-1-null mEF cell lines for loss of target gene expression by Northern blotting (Fig. 1E ). In the -^f/-^f ras/TAg cell line, the absence of HIF-1 lessens the hypoxic induction of VEGF and completely inhibits that of the hypoxia-responsive genes phosphoglycerate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and glucose transporter-1. The situation is similar in the -/- ras/TAg cell line.

HIF-1 Is a Positive Regulator of Tumor Growth.
The wild-type and null transformed cell lines described above were used to create fibrosarcomas in immunocompromised animals. Cells were injected s.c., and at 16–18 days after injection, the tumors were harvested and weighed. In both sets of cell lines, the absence of HIF-1 resulted in a significant decrease in tumor mass (Fig. 2 ).

	Discussion

Top ABSTRACT Introduction Materials and Methods Results Discussion REFERENCES

Data published previously on the mechanism by which HIF-1 positively regulates tumor growth have focused on angiogenesis (19, 20, 21 , 39) . The consensus has been that the absence of either HIF-1 or its dimerization partner, ARNT, leads to reduced vascularization within a tumor due to a reduced capacity to hypoxically induce VEGF expression. We were therefore surprised to find that loss of HIF-1 did not alter tumor vascularization in H-ras-transformed fibrosarcomas. This is in contrast to experiments in which VEGF itself is deleted from tumor cells, causing a large decrease in vascular density (35) , and in contrast to the experimental evidence from ES cell-derived tumors, where significant, albeit subtle, differences in vascular density are seen (19 , 21) .

We considered the possibility that our observation might be due to differences between in vitro and in vivo VEGF expression, where the tumor environment works in such a way as to make expression differences seen in culture inconsequential in vivo. This may explain our observations; however, within the tumors, in situ hybridization demonstrates that there are clear differences in VEGF expression between +^f/+^f and -^f/-^f tumors. This difference is best seen in the higher magnification in Fig. 4B , which shows that VEGF expression within these tumors is more punctate and restricted. A possible explanation for the different expression pattern seen in the -^f/-^f tumors is that a higher degree of hypoxia is required to stimulate VEGF expression in these cells and that this more restricted expression pattern is an indication of those regions. This high level of VEGF expression from a smaller number of cells may be able to compensate for a general reduction in VEGF expression, ultimately resulting in an adequate degree of vascularization.

The work presented here has clearly demonstrated that HIF-1 acts to promote tumor growth. What has become less clear is the exact mechanism by which HIF-1 functions in this capacity. Our fibrosarcoma model has provided the first indication that hypoxic induction of angiogenesis may play a smaller role in tumor growth than previously thought and that HIF-1-mediated regulation of VEGF is not crucial for tumor vascularization. With the multitude of HIF-1 target genes, there are a number of possible mechanisms yet to be investigated, and in all likelihood, the effect of HIF-1 on tumor growth is complex and involves the activation of several adaptive pathways. We also report for the first time the development of conditionally targeted mice and transformed cell lines from which HIF-1 can be easily excised via cre recombinase expression. These should prove invaluable reagents to investigators wishing to study the role of HIF-1 during normal development and the role of hypoxic response during tumorigenesis.
