Hypoxia Causes Downregulation of Mismatch Repair System and Genomic Instability in Stem Cells
29 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system maintains genomic integrity by correcting replication errors: its malfunction causes genomic instability in several tumor types. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF1alpha), the major regulator of the processes that occur in hypoxia and certain epigenetic events downregulate the expression of MMR genes in cancer cells. However, there is a lack of information regarding MMR...
