Dynamics simulations of hypoxia inducible factor-1 regulatory network in cancer using formal verification techniques.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) regulates cell growth, protein translation, metabolic pathways and therefore, has been advocated as a promising biological target for the therapeutic interventions against cancer. In general, hyperactivation of HIF-1 in cancer has been associated with increases in the expression of glucose transporter type-1 (GLUT-1) thus, enhancing glucose consumption and hyperactivating metabolic pathways. The collective behavior of GLUT-1 along with previously known key players AKT, OGT, and VEGF is not fully characterized and lacks clarity of how glucose uptake through this pathway (HIF-1) probes the cancer progression.
