Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies demonstrated that simvastatin (SIM) inhibited B16.F10 murine melanoma cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro via strong suppressing the production of subunit α of hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) (HIF-1 α)-a key regulator of cancer cell adaptation to hypoxia. However, beyond its known role in hypoxia, normoxic expression of HIF-1α in melanoma has been linked to increased cancer cell...
