Mouse Snail Is a Target Gene for HIF
22 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional inhibitor Snail is a critical regulator for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Although low oxygen induces Snail transcription, thereby stimulating EMT, a direct role of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) in this process remains to be demonstrated. Here we show that hypoxia induces the expression of Snail via HIF. In silico analysis identified a potential hypoxia-response element (HRE) close...
