HIF-1α activation under glucose deprivation plays a central role in the acquisition of anti-apoptosis in human colon cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

A poor vascular network development in a tumor mass leads to poor oxygen and nutrient supply. To adapt to a hypoxic microenvironment, it is well-known that cancer cells activate the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). HIF-1α plays a central role in hypoxia-induced metabolic switching, anti-apoptosis, angiogenesis and drug resistance. Glucose deprivation, another major stressful...
