BNIP3 expression in endometrial cancer relates to active hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha pathway and prognosis.
AIMS: BNIP3 is a pro-apoptotic mitochondrial protein induced under hypoxic stress, with the BNIP3 gene being under direct regulation of the hypoxia-inducible HIF-1alpha transcription factor. Induction of BNIP3 leads to caspase-independent necrosis-like cell death and an aggressive tumour phenotype....
