Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1Î± Signaling Pathway and its Relation to Cancer and ImmunologyBruno R.B. Pires, Andre L. Mencalha, Gerson M. Ferreira et al.Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that is present in all metazoans from early embryonic development throughout adult life. It plays a major roles in the different stress responses that are triggered by low Oxygen (O2) levels and its expression is associated with cell survival. HIF-1 is a heterodimer protein that comprises the subunits HIF-1Î± and HIF-1Î². The … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2015 · 8,482 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α Expression in Chorionic Tissue and Decidua of Women with Spontaneous Abortion at the First Trimester of PregnancyE. V. Mashkina, K. A. Kovalenko, E. V. ButenkoOxygen-regulated genes expression has important role in pre-implantation embryonic metabolism regulation. Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) regulated by hypoxia oxygen tension is crucial for placenta development. But the data about its role in spontaneous abortion is very poor. Thus, we aimed to determine an expression level of HIF-1α in chorionic tissue and decidua at pregnancy. Samples of chorionic tissue and decidua … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2014 · 6,862 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelative Transcription Expression Level of SIRT1, SIRT2 and SIRT3 in Correlation to the Expression of a Set of Selected Cancer Related Genes in Human Breast CancerHamdy Swelim, Omnia Mansour, Salah Abdel-Rahman et al.Mammalian Sirtuins have been shown to perform distinct cellular functions and deregulated expression of these genes was reported to be involved in the development of various malignancies including breast cancer. An increasing number of evidence indicates that Sirtuins have both tumor promoter and tumor suppressor functions. However, the roles of Sirtuins have not been well-studied in breast cancer. In the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 18 Jan 2018 · 7,476 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPOXIC INFLAMMATION, A DEADLY BRIDGE TO MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION AND A FERTILE SOIL FOR CANCER PREVENTIONKambiz Afrasiabi, Robert Edwards, Jonathan Melekh-Shalom, Kehui WangThe interplay of the inflammatory microenvironment with its hypoxic niche and the potential mechanism by which they lead to malignant transformation has long been the subject of great controversy and continues to be an area of great interest today. In our previous studies we have examined this subject by using Gia2 knock out mice as the focus of our research. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,148 accessesView PDF Cite
