Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry
Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.

The HIF‐1α pathway plays a critical role in salivary gland development in ex vivo organ cultures
The transcription factor, hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α), has previously been shown to upregulate the expression of hypoxia‐related genes, including erythropoietin (EPO).

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential
In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 as a therapeutic target in cancer [PDF]
AbstractHypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 (HIF‐1) is a transcription factor that immortalizes tumors by inducing key genes in cancer biology, including angiogenesis, glycolysis, invasion, and metastasis. Overexpression of HIF‐1α is thus associated with resistance to cancer chemotherapy and increased patient mortality in several cancer phenotypes.

Hypoxia Induces VEGF-C Expression in Metastatic Tumor Cells via a HIF-1α-Independent Translation-Mediated Mechanism [PDF]
SummaryVarious tumors metastasize via lymph vessels and lymph nodes to distant organs. Even though tumors are hypoxic, the mechanisms of how hypoxia regulates lymphangiogenesis remain poorly characterized.

Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha 2 in Neutrophils Regulates Vascular Repair via Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 alpha and a Network of Proteins Affecting Metabolism and Apoptosis [PDF]
Rationale: The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is stimulated by hypoxia, and although the AMPK alpha 1 catalytic subunit has been implicated in angiogenesis, little is known about the role played by the AMPK alpha 2 subunit in vascular repair ...

Loss of proton‐sensing GPR4 reduces tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
G protein‐coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a pH‐sensing receptor activated by acidic pH. GPR4 expression is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. In mouse models, loss of GPR4 attenuated tumor progression. This correlated with increased IL2 and natural killer cell activity.

Hypoxia-inducible factor in breast cancer: role and target for breast cancer treatment
Globally, breast cancer stands as the most prevalent form of cancer among women. The tumor microenvironment of breast cancer often exhibits hypoxia. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, a transcription factor, is found to be overexpressed and activated in ...

Exposure of rats to hypoxia (7% O2) markedly increased the level of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA in several tissues. Accumulation of HO-1 transcripts was also observed after exposure of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells to 1% O2, and this ...
