Hypoxia-Response Plasmid Vector Producing bcl-2 shRNA Enhances the Apoptotic Cell Death of Mouse Rectum Carcinoma

Hypoxia-induced gene expression frequently occurs in malignant solid tumors because they often have hypoxic areas in which circulation is compromised due to structurally disorganized blood vessels. Hypoxia-response elements (HREs) are responsible for activating gene transcription in response to hypo...
