Hypoxia confers resistance to chemoradiation therapy and promotes metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). We investigated the effects of hypoxia in tumor phenotype using immunocompetent murine HNSCC models. Balb/c mice were injected intraorally with murine squamous cell carcinoma cells LY-2 and B4B8. Intratumoral hypoxia fraction was evaluated by the immunohistochemical detection of hypoxic probe pimonidazole and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). Tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy in hypoxic areas of these tumors were examined immunohistochemially. Hypoxia-induced apoptotic and autophagic responses in vitro were examined by treating LY2 cells with CoCl2. B4B8 tumors exhibited a non-aggressive phenotype characterized by its slow growth rate and the lack of metastatic spread. LY2 tumors demonstrated an aggressive phenotype characterized by rapid growth rate with regional and distant metastasis. Intratumoral hypoxia fraction in B4B8 tumors was significantly lower than LY2 tumors. Hypoxic areas in B4B8 tumors exhibited increased apoptosis rate than LY2 tumors. In contrast, hypoxic areas in LY2 tumors revealed autophagy. Induction of hypoxia in vitro elicited autophagy and not apoptosis in LY2 cells. Induction of autophagy coupled with blockage of apoptosis in hypoxic areas promotes tumor cells survival and confers aggressive phenotype in immunocompetent murine HNSCC models.
