Hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors in neuroblastoma [PDF]
Hypoxia (i.e., low oxygen levels) is a known feature of aggressive tumors. Cells, including tumor cells, respond to conditions of insufficient oxygen by activating a transcriptional program mainly driven by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF)-1 and HIF-2.

In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research , Rofstad et al. ([1][1]) report on the significance of chronic (diffusion-limited) and acute (fluctuating or perfusion-limited) hypoxia in D-12 and R-18 human melanoma xenografts on the development of metastatic disease.

Hypoxia activates IKK-NF-κB and the immune response in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Hypoxia, or low oxygen availability, is an important physiological and pathological stimulus for multicellular organisms. Molecularly, hypoxia activates a transcriptional programme directed at restoration of oxygen homoeostasis and cellular survival ...

In some subjects, high-altitude hypobaric hypoxia leads to high-altitude pulmonary hypertension. The threshold for the diagnosis of high-altitude pulmonary hypertension is a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 30 mmHg, even though for general pulmonary ...

The Somatotropic Axis in the Sleep Apnea-Obesity Comorbid Duo
Background: Growth hormone (GH) stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in most tissues and together GH and IGF-1 profoundly impact adipose tissue deposition, glucose metabolism and cardiovascular function.

Hypoxia-induced alternative splicing in endothelial cells [PDF]
Background: Adaptation to low oxygen by changing gene expression is vitally important for cell survival and tissue development. The sprouting of new blood vessels, initiated from endothelial cells, restores the oxygen supply of ischemic tissues.

Oxydative stress in type 2 diabetic patients: involvement of HIF-1 alpha AND mTOR genes expression [PDF]
Biochemical and genetic mechanisms of oxidative stress (OS) developing in the blood of patients with type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were studied. Twenty patients with T2DM and 10 healthy persons participated in this study.

To understand how cells respond to altered oxygenation, a frequent experimental paradigm is to isolate known components of bona fide oxygen responsive proteins. Recent studies have shown that a protein known as CSN5 or JAB1 interacts with both the HIF-1alpha oxygen-responsive transcription factor and its oxygen-dependent regulator, the Von Hippel ...
