How Can We Overcome Tumor Hypoxia in Radiation Therapy

TL;DR: Fundamental problems surrounding tumor hypoxia in current radiation therapy, the function of HIF-1 in tumor radioresistance, the dynamics of hypoxic tumor cells during tumor growth and after radiation Therapy, and how to overcome the difficulties with radiation therapy using innovative interdisciplinary technologies are overviewed.

Codependent functions of RSK2 and the apoptosis-promoting factor TIA-1 in stress granule assembly and cell survival.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, nuclear localization of RSK2 is sufficient to enhance proliferation through induction of cyclin D1, in the absence of other active signaling pathways, and is a pivotal factor linking the stress response to survival and proliferation.

Hypoxia-induced genetic instability—a calculated mechanism underlying tumor progression

TL;DR: It is proposed that tumor development is a result of expansion and progression—two complementary aspects that collaborate with the tumor microenvironment—hypoxia in particular, on genetic alterations through the induction of genetic instability.

Role of angiogenesis in tumor growth and metastasis

TL;DR: Preclinical studies have shown that endostatin effectively inhibits tumor growth and shrinks existing tumor blood vessels and therapy with endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis, such asendostatin and angiostatin may reverse the angiogenic switch preventing growth of tumor vasculature.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger hypoxia-induced transcription

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested whether mitochondria act as O2 sensors during hypoxia and whether cobalt activated transcription by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species generated at mitochondrial complex III stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha during hypoxia: a mechanism of O2 sensing.

TL;DR: Findings reveal that mitochondria-derived ROS are both required and sufficient to initiate HIF-1α stabilization during hypoxia and that catalase abolishes hypoxic response element-luciferase expression during Hypoxia.

Tumor Response to Radiotherapy Regulated by Endothelial Cell Apoptosis

TL;DR: Microvascular damage regulates tumor cell response to radiation at the clinically relevant dose range, indicating that endothelial apoptosis is a homeostatic factor regulating angiogenesis-dependent tumor growth.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

TL;DR: A historic account of the challenges associated with the discovery of VEGF and the early steps in elucidating the role of this molecule in the regulation of angiogenesis is provided.
