PIASy mediates hypoxia-induced SIRT1 transcriptional repression and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in ovarian cancer cells
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has an essential role in organogenesis and contributes to a host of pathologies, including carcinogenesis. Hypoxia (low oxygen supply) aids tumor metastasis in part by promoting EMT in cancer cells. The underlying mechanism whereby hypoxia orchestrates EMT remains poorly defined. Here we report that SIRT1, a multifaceted player in tumorigenesis, opposed ovarian cancer...
