sub:assertion dcterms:description "[The HIF negative regulator, Prolyl Hydroxylase Domain protein 2 (PHD2) has not been evaluated in sarcomas.� We examined the expression of PHD2, HIF-1a, and several other hypoxia induced biomarkers in a series of clinically characterized, retroperitoneal sarcomas with immunohistochemical methods.� Expression of these proteins was analyzed and correlated with clinical outcome.� Increased HIF-1a expression was associated with shorter overall and disease free survival.� PHD2 expression was detected in the majority of sarcoma cases, with increased expression correlating with high tumor grade but not with survival.� Though changes in PHD2 expression alone did not correlate with overall and disease free survival, reduced/absent PHD2 expression in the presence of HIF-1a expression was associated with shorter overall and disease-free survival than that of other HIF-1a/PHD2 expression profiles.� These observations suggest that regulation and expression of both PHD2 and HIF-1a are important to the biology of sarcomas, and that loss of PHD2 function has an additional adverse effect in the prognosis of sarcomas in tumors expressing HIF-1a.� The biologic and therapeutic implications of HIF-1a and PHD2 expression in retroperitoneal sarcomas warrant further investigation.].
