TLDR
High HIF-2alpha protein levels were correlated with advanced clinical stage and high VEGF expression and predicted poor prognosis in a clinical neuroblastoma material and have general tumor biological implications.

Oxygen Sensing by Metazoans: The Central Role of the HIF Hydroxylase Pathway

TL;DR: HIF plays a central role in the transcriptional response to changes in oxygen availability and is modulated by FIH1-mediated asparagine hydroxylation, and HIF-modulatory drugs are now being developed for diverse diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIF1α and HIF2α: sibling rivalry in hypoxic tumour growth and progression

TL;DR: A more thorough understanding of the unique roles performed by HIF1α and HIF2α in human neoplasia is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of O2 availability on human cancer.

TL;DR: Over the past decade work from many laboratories has elucidated the mechanisms by which hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) modulate tumour cell metabolism, angiogenesis, growth and metastasis.

Hypoxia-Inducible Factors Regulate Tumorigenic Capacity of Glioma Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor HIF2alpha and multiple HIF-regulated genes are preferentially expressed in GSCs in comparison to non-stem tumor cells and normal neural progenitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIF Transcription Factors, Inflammation, and Immunity

TL;DR: How oxygen sensing in the immune microenvironment shapes immunological response is discussed and how HIF and the hypoxia pathway control innate and adaptive immunity is examined.

Targeting HIF-1 for cancer therapy

TL;DR: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activates the transcription of genes that are involved in crucial aspects of cancer biology, including angiogenesis, cell survival, glucose metabolism and invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploiting tumour hypoxia in cancer treatment.

TL;DR: Solid tumours contain regions at very low oxygen concentrations (hypoxia), often surrounding areas of necrosis, which provides an opportunity for tumour-selective therapy, including prodrugs activated by Hypoxia, hypoxia-specific gene therapy, targeting the hypoxIA-inducible factor 1 transcription factor, and recombinant anaerobic bacteria.
