Digoxin and other cardiac glycosides inhibit HIF-1α synthesis and block tumor growth
A library of drugs that are in clinical trials or use was screened for inhibitors of hypoxia-inducible
factor 1 (HIF-1). Twenty drugs inhibited HIF-1-dependent gene transcription by >88% at …

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes
Although several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of the heritability
for lung cancer remains unexplained. Here 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European …

Acriflavine inhibits HIF-1 dimerization, tumor growth, and vascularization
HIF-1 is a heterodimeric transcription factor that mediates adaptive responses to hypoxia
and plays critical roles in cancer progression. Using a cell-based screening assay we have …
