The impact of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1? on ovarian carcinoma cell / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:HIF-1? (Hypoxia-inducible factor-1?) is an important transcription factor under hypoxia condition. It plays the role of dominating the expressions of correlative genes. It also promotes tumor deterioration, tumor metastasis and tumor invasion. The molecular role of HIF-1? has been intensively studied in cancer basic research. This article is to investigate the expression of HIF-1? under hypoxic and reoxygenation induced by CoCl_ 2 and the impact of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1? on human ovarian carcinoma cell line HO-8910PM. Methods:Semi quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is performed to detect the expression of HIF-1? mRNA in human ovarian carcinoma cell HO-8910PM exposed during the phase of hypoxia and reoxygenation. The relations of the quantity-efficiency and the time-efficiency were analyzed. The effects of HIF-1? gene on the proliferation, invasion and adhesion of HO-8910PM cell were estimated by either MTT, Boyden cell or cell adhesion tests.Results:There was endogenous expression of HIF-1? in human ovarian carcinoma cell line HO-8910PM. RT-PCR show that over-expression of HIF-1? mRNA could be measured under hypoxia induced by CoCl_ 2 (P
