Zinc downregulates HIF-1α and inhibits its activity in tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.

<h4>Background</h4>Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is responsible for the majority of HIF-1-induced gene expression changes under hypoxia and for the "angiogenic switch" during tumor progression. HIF-1α is often upregulated in tumors leading to more aggressive tumor growth...
