Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The transcriptional inhibitor Snail is a critical regulator for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Although low oxygen induces Snail transcription, thereby stimulating EMT, a direct role of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) in this process remains to be demonstrated. Here we show that hypoxia induces the expression of Snail via HIF. In silico analysis identified a potential hypoxia-response element (HRE) close to the minimal promoter of the human and mouse genome of the snail gene. Gel shift assays demonstrated that a specific hypoxia-inducible complex is formed with the putative HRE and that the complex contains HIF proteins. ChIP assays confirmed the interaction of HIF proteins with the putative HRE in vivo. Reporter gene analyses showed that the putative HRE responds to hypoxia in its natural position as well as in front of a heterologous promoter and that the HRE is directly activated by HIF-1α or HIF-2α. HIF knockdown with siRNA at 2% oxygen and overexpression of an oxygen-insensitive HIF (HIF-ΔODD) mutant at 21% oxygen showed that HIF regulates Snail activation and subsequent cell migration. Our findings identify snail as a HIF target gene and provide novel insights into the regulation of snail and hypoxia-induced EMT.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
