Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is a transcription factor that is involved in tumour growth and metastasis by regulating genes involved in response to hypoxia. HIF-1alpha protein overexpression has been shown in a variety of human cancers, but only 2 studies have documented the prognost

## Abstract HIF‐1 is reported to transactivate expression of VEGF, which is an important angiogenic factor. To determine whether HIF‐1α plays a role in angiogenesis through its regulation of VEGF, we examined expression of HIF‐1α and its relation to clinicopathologic features, VEGF expression and p
Aims: To investigate the significance of the hypoxia inducible factors HIF-1a and HIF-2a in gallbladder adenocarcinomas and their relation to angiogenesis and to the expression of VEGF, an angiogenic factor transcriptionally regulated by HIFas. Methods: HIF-1a and 2a expression was assessed immunohi

## Background: Hypoxia-inducible factor (hif)1 alpha is considered to play a key role in the adaptation of cells to hypoxia by stimulating angiogenesis via regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor and by metabolic adaptation to o(2) deprivation. ## Methods: Expression of hif-1 alpha prote
