The hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is primarily involved in the sensing and adapting of cells to changes in the O2 level, which is essential for their viability. An increased activity is recognized in the majority of clinical relevant hypoxic/ischemic episodes and human cancers .HIF-1 is considered a central regulator of the adaptation response of cancer cells to hypoxia that makes it a therapeutic target in solid tumors. In this article, the biochemical pathways that are regulated by HIF-1 and the factors that regulate HIF-1 expression are briefly discussed .as targeting HIF-1, may selectively kill tumor cells that adapt to low O2 concentrations.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
