Oxygen-sensing in tumors.

TL;DR: Significant overlap exists between oxygen-sensing mechanisms and other metabolic and cell stress sensing pathways, which allows nonhypoxic cell stresses to activate hypoxia-inducible responses.

A Combination of Two Antioxidants (An SOD Mimic and Ascorbate) Produces a Pro-Oxidative Effect Forcing Escherichia coli to Adapt Via Induction of oxyR Regulon

TL;DR: To exemplify the switch from an anti- to pro-oxidative action, a very simple and straightforward system - the superoxide-specific aerobic growth of SOD-deficient E. coli is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of HIF-1α in response of tumors to a combination of hyperthermia and radiation in vivo.

TL;DR: MTH enhances the anti-tumour effect of high-dose irradiation, at least partly by inhibiting radiation-induced upregulation of HIF-1α and VEGF, leading to enhanced apoptosis of tumour cells and tumour growth delay.

Three-dimensional imaging of xenograft tumors using optical computed and emission tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated optical-CT and optical-ECT for high resolution imaging of HCT116 xenograft tumors, about 1 cc in dimension, which were transfected with constitutive red fluorescent protein (RFP).

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
