Research Abstract |
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) plays an important role in malignant tumor progression and in the development of resistance to radiotherapy. I designed a novel fusion protein (POTK) consisting of a protein transduction domain, herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase, and an essential part of the oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1 α that confers the same oxygen-dependent regulation as HIF-1α on POTK. I demonstrated that POTK and [^<123>I]FIAU, which is metabolized by POTK and trapped intracellularly, is potential probes for high-sensitive imaging of HIF-1-active regions in tumors.
