The HIF-1α antisense long non-coding RNA drives a positive feedback loop of HIF-1α mediated transactivation and glycolysis

HIF1alpha is reported to drive tumourigenesis through activating glycolysis. Here, the authors show that HIFAL, the HIF1alpha antisense long non-coding RNA, and HIF1alpha form a positive feed-forward loop which is essential for HIF1a-mediated metabolic reprogramming and oncogenic role.
