Epithelial ovarian cancer stem‑like cells are resistant to the cellular lysis of cytokine‑induced killer cells via HIF1A‑mediated downregulation of ICAM‑1.
Semi-quantitative analysis of the angiogenesis assay revealed a significant reduction in tube formation when supernatant from HIF-1 alpha siRNA-treated hypoxic EOC cell was used (P < 0.05).
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) genes in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells.
