Abstract
- Hypoxia (low O <subscript>2</subscript> ) is a pathobiological hallmark of solid cancers, resulting from the imbalance between cellular O <subscript>2</subscript> consumption and availability. Hypoxic cancer cells (CCs) stimulate blood vessel sprouting (angiogenesis), aimed at restoring O <subscript>2</subscript> delivery to the expanding tumor masses through the activation of a transcriptional program mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Here, we review recent data suggesting that the efficacy of antiangiogenic (AA) therapies is limited in some circumstances by HIF-dependent compensatory responses to increased intratumoral hypoxia. In lieu of this evidence, we discuss the potential of targeting HIFs as a strategy to overcome these instances of AA therapy resistance.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
