HIF expression and the role of hypoxic microenvironments within primary tumours as protective sites driving cancer stem cell renewal and metastatic progression
5 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxic microenvironments frequently exist in many solid tumours with oxygen levels fluctuating temporally and spatially from normoxia to hypoxia. The response to hypoxia in human cells is mainly regulated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), a family of transcription factors which orchestrate signalling events leading to angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Several events conspire together to lead to the...
