lüll Hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors: master regulators of metastasis Lu X; Kang YClin Cancer Res 2010[Dec]; 16 (24): 5928-35Hypoxia is a common condition found in a wide range of solid tumors and is often associated with poor prognosis. Hypoxia increases tumor glycolysis, angiogenesis, and other survival responses, as well as invasion and metastasis by activating relevant gene expressions through hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha undergo oxygen-dependent regulation, and their overexpression is frequently associated with metastasis and poor clinical outcomes. Recent studies show that each step of the metastasis process, from the initial epithelial-mesenchymal transition to the ultimate organotropic colonization, can potentially be regulated by hypoxia, suggesting a master regulator role of hypoxia and HIFs in metastasis. Furthermore, modulation of cancer stem cell self-renewal by HIFs may also contribute to the hypoxia-regulated metastasis program. The hypoxia-induced metastatic phenotype may be one of the reasons for the modest efficacy of antiangiogenic therapies and may well explain the recent provocative findings that antiangiogenic therapy increased metastasis in preclinical models. Multiple approaches to targeting hypoxia and HIFs, including HIF inhibitors, hypoxia-activated bioreductive prodrugs, and gene therapies may become effective treatments to prevent or reduce metastasis.|Animals[MESH]|Antineoplastic Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Cell Movement/genetics/physiology[MESH]|Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition/physiology[MESH]|Genetic Therapy/methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1/genetics/*physiology[MESH]|Hypoxia/*complications/genetics/metabolism/pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Molecular Targeted Therapy/methods[MESH]|Neoplasm Metastasis/*genetics[MESH]|Neoplastic Stem Cells/metabolism/pathology/physiology[MESH]|Stem Cell Niche/metabolism/pathology[MESH] |
