Hypoxia-regulated differentiation: let's step it up a Notch

Trends in Molecular Medicine
Richard C A Sainson, Adrian L Harris

Abstract

Although hypoxia is widely associated with adult pathologies such as cancer, it is also a physiological process that regulates cell differentiation during organogenesis. In an attempt to characterize the molecular mechanisms that are involved in hypoxia-regulated cell fate, a recent publication by Gustafsson and colleagues elegantly demonstrated that hypoxia blocks cell differentiation through the regulation of Notch signalling. This study showed that hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha interacts and acts in synergy with the Notch intracellular domain (NIC) and subsequently activates transcription of Notch targets. The identification of this crosstalk between pathways that are often deregulated in cancer is groundbreaking and opens up new areas for cancer research.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
