Hypoxia is the condition where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen and has been shown to have a role of tumor development in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Using PubMed online database and Google scholar web site, the terms "angiogenesis", "apoptosis", "RNA interference" and/or "hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)" were searched and analyzed.
The hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are transcriptional regulators that affect a homeostatic response to oxidative stress and have been identified as a key transcription activator of angiogenesis, survival, and metabolism. Cytokines, such as IL-8, also controlled endothelia cells survival and angiogenesis. IL-8 was also overexpressed under hypoxia and induced tumor angiogenesis and growth.
Therefore, regulation of HIFs and IL-8 controlled the tumor microenvironment in terms of tumor angiogenesis and apoptosis. The review summarizes the results of regulation of the hypoxic tumor environment.
缺氧是肿瘤细胞被剥夺氧气的状态,且已证明其在肝细胞癌(HCC)的肿瘤发展中起作用。
利用PubMed在线数据库和谷歌学术网站,搜索并分析了“血管生成”“细胞凋亡”“RNA干扰”和/或“肝细胞癌(HCC)”等术语。
缺氧诱导因子(HIFs)是影响对氧化应激稳态反应的转录调节因子,已被确定为血管生成、存活和代谢的关键转录激活因子。细胞因子,如白细胞介素-8(IL-8),也控制内皮细胞的存活和血管生成。IL-8在缺氧条件下也会过度表达,并诱导肿瘤血管生成和生长。
因此,HIFs和IL-8的调节在肿瘤血管生成和细胞凋亡方面控制了肿瘤微环境。本综述总结了缺氧肿瘤环境调节的结果。
