abstract：:Hypoxia is a critical event in solid tumor development, invasion, and metastasis. Cellular adaptation to hypoxic microenvironment is essential for tumor progression and is largely mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) through coordinated regulation of hypoxia-responsive genes. In this study, we found that m...
