Design, synthesis, molecular dynamics and gene silencing studies of novel therapeutic HIF-1α siRNAs in hypoxic cancer cells.

Hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are heterodimeric proteins that belong to a small group of transcription factors, which mainly regulates transcription of genes under hypoxic conditions. Particularly, oxygen sensing subunit of HIF-1α is a predominant subtype that heterodimerizes with oxygen-independent HIF-1β subunit, to trigger the transcription of hypoxia responsive genes. Due to poor supply of blood and rapid division of cancerous cells, tumor microenvironment exhibits low oxygen condition and therefore increased levels of HIF-1α.
