The Natural Inhibitor of DNA Topoisomerase I, Camptothecin, Modulates HIF-1α Activity by Changing miR Expression Patterns in Human Cancer Cells
20 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibition by camptothecin derivatives can impair the hypoxia-induced cell transcriptional response. In the present work, we determined molecular aspects of the mechanism of camptothecin's effects on hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activity in human cancer cells. In particular, we provide evidence that low concentrations of camptothecin, without interfering with HIF-1α mRNA levels,...
