Epigenetic control of hypoxia inducible factor-1α-dependent expression of placental growth factor in hypoxic conditions
6 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia plays a crucial role in the angiogenic switch, modulating a large set of genes mainly through the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcriptional complex. Endothelial cells play a central role in new vessels formation and express placental growth factor (PlGF), a member of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, mainly involved in pathological angiogenesis. Despite several...
