Most solid tumors and their metastases experience regions of hypoxia, which promotes both tumor progression and resistance to therapy. Critical mediators of the hypoxic response are the hypoxia-inducible factors HIF-1a and HIF-2a. HIF-1a and HIF-2a are non-redundant and regulate both overlapping and unique downstream target genes. HIF-1a has been associated with poor patient survival in multiple tumor types and is currently being pursued as a target for inhibition for cancer therapy (1,2).
HIF-2a has also been associated with poor patient prognosis in specific tumor types such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), neuroblastoma, glioblastoma (GBM) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (3-6). The tumor type specific function of HIF-2a has been linked with the ability of HIF-2a (but not HIF-1a) to co-operate with a number of oncoproteins such as c-Myc, EGFR and K-Ras (5,7,8) and also to activate genes involved in proliferation, invasion and in the maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) (9,10). Hence, although the validity of HIF-1a as a target in multiple tumor types cannot be denied, emerging data suggest that in certain settings, the specific inhibition of HIF-2a versus HIF-1a would be warranted.
Additionally, the newly established role of HIF-2a in the maintenance of neoplastic but not in normal stem cells, suggests that HIF-2a inhibition may provide a novel strategy for the targeting of CSCs(11-13). Thus our hypothesis is that the specific inhibition of HIF-2a will be a useful strategy for treating HIF-2a driven tumors and for targeting the CSC population. The overall goal of the study is to identify small molecule specific inhibitors of HIF-2a that will lead to the development of new anti-cancer therapies.
The goal of this assay is to confirm hits in "uHTS identification of HIF-2a Inhibitors in a luminesence assay", AID 624352. This assay is a counterscreen involving the induction of hypoxia by desferoxiamine in HIF-1a expressing human MIAPaCa-2 cells. Compounds active in this assay are not selective for HIF-2a and are not desired.

Comment
Compounds were tested in quadruplicates and those that have % activity_mean >= 50 % are confirmed as inhibitors of the reaction.
To simplify the distinction between the inactives of the primary screen and of the confirmatory screening stage, the Tiered Activity Scoring System was developed and implemented.
Activity Scoring
Activity scoring rules were devised to take into consideration compound efficacy, its potential interference with the assay and the screening stage that the data was obtained. Details of the Scoring System will be published elsewhere. Briefly, the outline of the scoring system utilized for the assay is as follows:
1) First tier (0-40 range) is reserved for primary screening data. The score is correlated with % activity in the assay:
a. If outcome of the primary screen is inactive, then the assigned score is 0
b. If outcome of the primary screen is inconclusive, then the assigned score is 10
c. If outcome of the primary screen is active, then the assigned score is 20
Scoring for Single concentration confirmation screening.
d. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is inactive, then the assigned score is 21
e. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is inconclusive, then the assigned score is 25
f. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is active, then the assigned score is 30
This scoring system helps track the stage of the testing of a particular SID. For the primary hits which are available for confirmation, their scores will be greater than 20. For those which are not further confirmed, their score will stay under 21.
2) Second tier (41-80 range) is reserved for dose-response confirmation data and is not applicable in this assay
3) Third tier (81-100 range) is reserved for resynthesized true positives and their analogues and is not applicable in this assay
