Abstract excerpt
Our previous study demonstrated that mutant IkappaBalpha (IkappaBalphaM) could inhibit glioma angiogenesis and tumorigenesis through the downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and IL-8. However, the pathways involved in VEGF expression are not well understood. Growing evidence indicates that hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and cyclooxygenases-2 (COX-2) play important roles in...
