HIF-1 Alpha Regulates the Response of Primary Sarcomas to Radiation Therapy through a Cell Autonomous Mechanism
14 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a major cause of radiation resistance, which may predispose to local recurrence after radiation therapy. While hypoxia increases tumor cell survival after radiation exposure because there is less oxygen to oxidize damaged DNA, it remains unclear whether signaling pathways triggered by hypoxia contribute to radiation resistance. For example, intratumoral hypoxia can increase hypoxia inducible factor 1...
