Targeting Hypoxia Inducible Factors-1α As a Novel Therapy in Fibrosis
Fibrosis, characterized by increased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, and widespread vasculopathy, has the prominent trait of chronic hypoxia. Hypoxia inducible factors-1α (HIF-1α), a key transcriptional factor in response to this chronic hypoxia, is involved in fibrotic disease, such as Systemic sclerosis (SSc). The implicated function of HIF-1α in fibrosis include stimulation of excessi...
متن کاملReduced Liver Fibrosis in Hypoxia-inducible Factor-1α-Deficient Mice
Liver fibrosis is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the liver during chronic injury. During early stages of this disease, cells begin to synthesize and secrete profibrotic proteins that stimulate matrix production and inhibit matrix degradation. Although it is clear that these proteins are important for development of fibrosis, what remains unknown is the mechanis...
متن کاملTargeting hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in combination with antiangiogenic therapy: A phase I trial of bortezomib plus bevacizumab
PURPOSE We hypothesized that bortezomib, an agent that suppresses HIF-1α transcriptional activity, when combined with bevacizumab, would obviate the HIF-1α resistance pathway. The objectives of this phase I trial were to assess safety and biological activity of this combination. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with advanced, refractory malignancies were eligible. Patients received bevacizumab an...
متن کاملThe role of hypoxia-inducible factors in renal fibrosis.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined by loss of renal function, is highly prevalent, and imposes a large economic burden worldwide. Renal fibrosis is the final common pathway leading to CKD regardless of the initial insult. The extent of renal fibrosis is highly correlated with the severity of CKD. Understanding the pathophysiology of renal fibrosis is of paramount importance. Microscopically,...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible tumour-specific promoters as a dual-targeting transcriptional regulation system for cancer gene therapy
Transcriptional targeting is the best approach for specific gene therapy. Hypoxia is a common feature of the tumour microenvironment. Therefore, targeting gene expression in hypoxic cells by placing transgene under the control of a hypoxia-responsive promoter can be a good strategy for cancer-specific gene therapy. The hypoxia-inducible gene expression system has been investigated more in suici...
