Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in cancers has been correlated to a more aggressive tumor phenotype. We investigated the effect of HIF-1alpha knockout on the in vitro survival and death of human tongue squamous cell carcinomas (SCC-4 and SCC-9). Under normoxic condition, a basal level of HIF-1alpha protein was constitutively expressed in SCC-9 cells, albeit an undetectable level of...
