ResumoAbstract Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), including HIF-1α and HIF-2α, are transcription factors that mediate cellular response to changes of oxygen supply. These proteins become stabilized under hypoxia and subsequently activate the expression of genes to facilitate cell survival and proliferation. HIF proteins are activated in many types of cancers due to the tumor hypoxic microenvironment and have been implicated in cancer initiation, progression and metastasis. The oncogenic role of HIF-2α is pertinent in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). In the majority of ccRCC tumors, the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL) that targets HIF-2α for degradation is inactivated, leading to the accumulation of HIF-2α and the activation of genes that drive kidney cancer tumorigenesis. We have identified small molecules that bind to the PAS-B domain of HIF-2α protein and block it's dimerization with ARNT (aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator, HIF-1β), a prerequisite for its transcriptional activities. Specifically, we describe PT2385, a selective, orally active HIF-2α antagonist with potent anti-cancer activity in mouse models of ccRCC. PT2385 is currently under evaluation in Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of ccRCC. Citation Format: Eli M. Wallace, Zhaodan Cao, Tzuling Cheng, Robert Czerwinski, Darryl D.
