Does endogenous fatty acid metabolism allow cancer cells to sense hypoxia and mediate hypoxic vasodilatation? Characterization of a novel molecular connection between fatty acid synthase (FAS) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-related expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cancer cells overexpressing her-2/neu oncogene

## Abstract Her‐2/__neu__ (__erb__B‐2) oncogene overexpression is associated with increased tumor progression and metastasis. Fatty acid synthase (FAS), the key lipogenic enzyme responsible for the endogenous synthesis of fatty acids, has been shown to be one of the genes regulated by Her‐2/__neu__
