Copper promotes tumor angiogenesis, nevertheless the mechanisms involved remain to be fully understood. We have recently demonstrated that the G-protein estrogen receptor (GPER) cooperates with hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) toward the regulation of the pro-angiogenic factor VEGF. Here, we show that copper sulfate (CuSO4) induces the expression of HIF-1α as well as GPER and VEGF in breast...

The administration of t ryptophan or cortisone to rats bearing the Morris 5123 Hepatoma resulted in significant increases in t ryptophan pyrrolase activity in the host liver but in no change in the low tryptophan pyrrolase activity of the neoplasm. The repressed level of this enzyme in the neoplasm was not a result of the lack or excess of cofactors or enzymes necessary for the assay procedure ...
