A therapeutic role for targeting c-Myc/Hif-1- dependent signaling pathways

Abstract excerpt

Deregulated c-Myc occurs in approximately 30% of human cancers. Similarly, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is commonly overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies. Under physiologic conditions, HIF inhibits c-Myc activity; however, when deregulated oncogenic c-Myc collaborates with HIF in inducing the expression of VEGF, PDK1 and hexokinase 2. Most of the knowledge of HIF derives from studies investigating a...
