Apigenin suppresses the expression of VEGF, an important factor for angiogenesis, in endothelial cells via degradation of HIF-1α protein [PDF]
Apigenin, a plant-derived flavone, is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation and angiogenesis, but the mechanisms leading to the pathological anti-angiogenic effects of apigenin are still unclear.

Inhibition of HIF-1α through Suppression of NF-κB Activation by Compounds Isolated from Senecio graveolens [PDF]
One of the characteristics of cancer is that the lack of oxygen in the cancer cells triggers changes in their gene expression. This hypoxia activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha and this in turn sets in motion the whole family of important ...

HIF-α Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitors and Their Implications for Biomedicine: A Comprehensive Review
Oxygen is essential for the maintenance of the body. Living organisms have evolved systems to secure an oxygen environment to be proper. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) plays an essential role in this process; it is a transcription factor that mediates ...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway activation by quercetin in human lens epithelial cells [PDF]
Quercetin is a dietary bioflavonoid which has been shown to inhibit lens opacification in a number of models of cataract. The objectives of this study were to determine gene expression changes in human lens epithelial cells in response to quercetin and ...

The role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 in atherosclerosis: Figure 1 [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is by far the most frequent underlying cause of coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease and peripheral arterial disease, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Hypoxic areas are known to be present in human atherosclerotic lesions, and lesion progression is associated with the formation of lipid-loaded macrophages,

Icariin activates far upstream element binding protein 1 to regulate hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and hypoxia-inducible factor-2α signaling and benefits chondrocytes [PDF]
Icariin (ICA) is a typical flavonoid glycoside derived from epimedium plants. It has both anabolic and anti-catabolic effects to improve bone mineral density and reduce bone microstructural degradation. However, the effect and underlying mechanism of ICA

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-mediated regulation of PPP1R3C promotes glycogen accumulation in human MCF-7 cells under hypoxia [PDF]
Hundreds of genes can be regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) under hypoxia. Here we demonstrated a HIF1-mediated induction of protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 3C gene (PPP1R3C) in human MCF7 cells under hypoxia.

Hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 and cancer pathogenesis [PDF]
AbstractHypoxia‐inducible factor 1 (HIF‐1) is a transcriptional activator that mediates adaptive responses to hypoxia. HIF‐1 activity is increased in the majority of human cancers as a result of genetic alterations and intratumoral hypoxia. HIF‐1 activates the transcription of genes that increase O2 availability by stimulating angiogenesis or that ...
