Hypoxia-inducible factor is expressed in giant cell tumour of bone and mediates paracrine effects of hypoxia on monocyte-osteoclast differentiation via induction of VEGF

Hypoxia is an important regulator of bone biology and stimulates osteoclast differentiation from monocytic precursors. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a key pro-tumourigenic transcription factor mediating pathways of hypoxia-inducible gene expression. We have described expression of HIF-1α and HIF...
