A HIF-1α inhibitor combined with palmitic acid and L-carnitine treatment can prevent the fat metabolic reprogramming under hypoxia and induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Abstract Background A hypoxic environment often persists within solid tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) can accelerate cancer malignancy by inducing hypoxia-dependent expression of various genes. Tumor hypoxia can also induce metabolic reprogrammi...
