Small interfering RNA augments hypoxia and radiation induced tumor cell death
Published in Cancer Weekly, February 8th, 2005
"Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is an important transcriptional factor that is activated when mammalian cells experience hypoxia, a tumor microenvironmental condition that plays pivotal roles in tumor progression and treatment. In this study, we examined the idea of down-regulating HIF-1alpha in tumor cells for therapeutic gain," scientists writing in the journal Cancer Research report.
"We show that the expression levels of HIF-1alpha can be significantly attenuated by use of the recently established small interfering RNA technology in combination...
