Knock down of HIF-1α in glioma cells reduces migration in vitro and invasion in vivo and impairs their ability to form tumor spheres
1 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary intracranial human neoplasm. GBMs are characterized by the presence of extensive areas of necrosis and hypoxia. Hypoxia and its master regulator, hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) play a key role in glioma invasion. RESULTS: To further elucidate the functional role of HIF-1alpha in glioma cell migration in vitro and in invasion in vivo, we...
