Oncogenic alterations of metabolism.

TLDR
Over seven decades of classical biochemical studies showed that tumors have altered metabolic profiles and display high rates of glucose uptake and glycolysis, which might confer a common advantage on many different types of cancers, which allows the cells to survive and invade.

Hypoxia — a key regulatory factor in tumour growth

TL;DR: Cells undergo a variety of biological responses when placed in hypoxic conditions, including activation of signalling pathways that regulate proliferation, angiogenesis and death, and many elements of the hypoxia-response pathway are good candidates for therapeutic targeting.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tumour suppressor protein VHL targets hypoxia-inducible factors for oxygen-dependent proteolysis

TL;DR: It is indicated that the interaction between HIF-1 and pVHL is iron dependent, and that it is necessary for the oxygen-dependent degradation of HIF α-subunits, which may underlie the angiogenic phenotype of VHL-associated tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIF-1-mediated expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase: A metabolic switch required for cellular adaptation to hypoxia

TL;DR: A hypoxia-induced metabolic switch that shunts glucose metabolites from the mitochondria to glycolysis to maintain ATP production and to prevent toxic ROS production is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species in cancer

TL;DR: The generation of ROS within tumour cells, their detoxification, their cellular effects, as well as the major signalling cascades they utilize are discussed, but also an outlook on their modulation in therapeutics is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor hypoxia: definitions and current clinical, biologic, and molecular aspects.

TL;DR: Because malignant tumors no longer execute functions necessary for homeostasis (such as the production of adequate amounts of adenosine triphosphate), the physiology-based definitions of the term "hypoxia" are not necessarily valid for malignant tumor patients.

Patterns and Emerging Mechanisms of the Angiogenic Switch during Tumorigenesis

TL;DR: The work from the authors' laboratories reviewed herein was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 is a basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS heterodimer regulated by cellular O2 tension

TL;DR: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is found in mammalian cells cultured under reduced O2 tension and is necessary for transcriptional activation mediated by the erythropoietin gene enhancer in hypoxic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and developmental control of O2 homeostasis by hypoxia-inducible factor 1α

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HIF-1alpha is a master regulator of cellular and developmental O2 homeostasis in Hif1a-/- embryos that manifested neural tube defects, cardiovascular malformations, and marked cell death within the cephalic mesenchyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of HIF-1alpha in hypoxia-mediated apoptosis, cell proliferation and tumour angiogenesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that hypoxia and hypoglycaemia reduce proliferation and increase apoptosis in wild-type (Hif-1α+/+) embryonic stem (ES) cells, but not in ES cells with inactivated HIF-1 α genes (HIF- 1α−/−), suggesting that there are at least two different adaptive responses to being deprived of oxygen and nutrients.

Hypoxia-mediated selection of cells with diminished apoptotic potential in solid tumours

TL;DR: It is proposed that hypoxia provides a physiological selective pressure in tumours for the expansion of variants that have lost their apoptotic potential, and in particular for cells acquiring p53mutations.
