Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), principal component of HIF-1 pathway, is a transcriptional activator induced by hypoxia, and a modulator of oxygen homeostasis and physiological responses (1).
In hypoxic conditions, HIF-1 plays an essential role in the adaptation of cells and organs to changes related to the presence of oxygen (5), and it is required to maintain the pluripotency and survival of stem cells under hypoxic conditions (6).Hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α) is the key responder adapted to tumor hypoxia. Under hypoxia conditions, HIF-1α signaling is activated and responsible for cell biology associated with metabolism, inflammation, vascular homeostasis and tumorigenesis (3). HIF-1 regulates tumor biological behavior by influencing apoptotic/proliferative activity, vasomotor function, energy metabolism, and angiogenesis (4).
Previous research indicates that hypoxia increases the population of lung cancer stem cells resistant to gefitinib in EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, and the HIF-1 signaling pathway is activated in EGFR-TKI-resistant lung cancer cells (2).You can custom your own SignArrays® with the genes of interest of your choice, according to your project, you just have to download and complete our Personalized SignArrays® information file and send it at contact@anygenes.com
