Intermittent hypoxia furthers the rationale for hypoxia-inducible factor-1 targeting.

چکیده
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) stabilization is a pivotal event in the response to hypoxic stress. A study in the December 15, 2006 issue of Cancer Research shows that HIF-1 stabilization occurs more robustly as a result of intermittent hypoxia compared with chronic hypoxia. The findings of this study suggest that intermittent hypoxia might influence the efficacy of radiotherapy by more strongly affecting the growth and survival of vascular endothelial cells. This finding offers additional encouragement to efforts to target HIF-1 for cancer therapy.

This symposium was organized to present research dealing with the effects of intermittent hypoxia on cardiorespiratory systems and cellular mechanisms. The pattern of neural impulse activity has been shown to be critical in the induction of genes in neuronal cells and involves distinct signaling pathways. Mechanisms associated with different patterns of intermittent hypoxia might share similar ...
متن کاملRegulation of oxygen homeostasis by hypoxia-inducible factor 1.
Metazoan organisms are dependent on a continuous supply of O(2) for survival. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that regulates oxygen homeostasis and plays key roles in development, physiology, and disease. HIF-1 activity is induced in response to continuous hypoxia, intermittent hypoxia, growth factor stimulation, and Ca(2+) signaling. HIF-1 mediates adaptive respons...
متن کاملBlockade of Hypoxia: The Impact on Tumor Growth in an Experimental Tumor Model
Background: Tumor microenvironment is an active factor participating in immunoregulation, thereby preventing immunosurveillance and limiting the efficacy of anticancer therapies. Hypoxia as a major characteristic of solid tumors causes the expression of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α). This is a transcription factor that mediates hypoxic responses of tumor cells and involves in the express...

In this study, the effects of sublethal concentrations of the Endosulfan on gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1 α, HIF-2 α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the gill tissue of Persian sturgeon fingerling (Acipenser persicus) were studied. A total of 360 sturgeons (average weight of 2 ± 0.12 g) exposed to concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 micrograms per liter and VEG...
