Real‑time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and immunohistochemistry experiments revealed that HIF‑1α was significantly upregulated in GBC tissues.
We revealed that miR-138 is a suppressor of GBC cell metastasis and EMT progression, and a similar phenomenon was observed in HIF-1α knockdown NOZ cells.
Altogether, our studies identified a novel regulator, miR-143-5p, implicated in GBC prognosis through targeting HIF-1α/EMT related signaling pathway, which could serve as a biomarker and therapeutic target for GBC.
In this study, we have investigated the role of HIF-1α in the pathobilogy of GBC and effect of hispidulin on the molecular events controlled by this transcription factor.
We found that cordycepin inhibited mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activation and down-regulated multiple drug resistant (MDR)/hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) expression through activating of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling in gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells.
