Expression of BNIP3 correlates with hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha, HIF-2alpha and the androgen receptor in prostate cancer and is regulated directly by hypoxia but not androgens in cell lines.

BACKGROUND: BNIP3 is a hypoxia-induced protein involved in cell death and survival but its role in human tumors is unclear. This study investigated the role of BNIP3 in prostate cancer. METHODS: The expression of BNIP3, the androgen receptor (AR), hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha, HIF-2alpha a...
