TWIST activation by hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1): Implications in metastasis and development
15 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a microenvironmental factor which plays a critical role in development and tumor progression. The hypoxic response is mainly mediated by hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) composed of HIF-1alpha and HIF-1beta, which becomes active under low oxygen condition. HIF-1 activates the transcription of hypoxia inducible genes which regulate diverse cellular functions including metabolism, angiogenesis and...
