Research Abstract

Tumor hypoxia is important for tumor progression. TECs upregulated several genes and have highly responsiveness to growth factor and resistant to some anti-cancer drugs. Furthermore, there is chromosomal abnormality in TECs. However the mechanism of acquisition of these abnormalities in TECs remains to be unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of hypoxia on TEC abnormalities.
Under hypoxic condition, gene expressions of HIF-1 alpha and VEGFA in human NECs (HMVEC) were upregulated. Furthermore, the aneuploidy rate of NEC increased under hypoxia. In addition, ROS was elevated in NEC by hypoxia and inhibition of ROS by EGCG inhibited hypoxia-induced aneuploidy in HMVEC. VEGFR inhibitor also inhibited aneuploidy induced by hypoxia. These results suggest that hypoxic condition in tumor microenvironment might be one of mechanisms of acquisition of chromosomal abnormality in tumor endothelial cells.
