Hypoxia and HIF1α signaling direct tissue-specific gene responses regulating tumor progression, invasion and metastasis. By integrating HIF1α knockdown and hypoxia-induced gene expression changes, this study identifies a melanocyte-specific, HIF1α-dependent/hypoxia-responsive gene expression signature. Integration of these gene expression changes with HIF1α ChIP-Seq analysis identifies 81 HIF1α direct target genes in melanocytes. The expression levels for ten of the HIF1α direct targets – GAPDH, PKM, PPAT, DARS, DTWD1, SEH1L, ZNF292, RLF, AGTRAP, and GPC6 – are significantly correlated with reduced time of Disease Free Status (DFS) in melanoma by logistic regression (P-value =0.0013) and ROC curve analysis (AUC= 0.826, P-value<0.0001). This HIF1α-regulated profile defines a melanocyte-specific response under hypoxia, and demonstrates the role of HIF1α as an invasive cell state gatekeeper in regulating cellular metabolism, chromatin and transcriptional regulation, vascularization and invasion.
