Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of hypoxia on pancreatic cancer (PC) cell dedifferentiation and tumorigenic potential. METHODS: Inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and overexpression of Notch1 in PC HS766T cell lines were by lentiviral transfection. The expression of stem cell-specific markers C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4, CD44, and Nestin was detected by...
