Abstract

Our previous results showed that hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) activated estrogen receptor (ER) in the absence of ligand. In this study, we have studied the effect ER overexpression on the activation of HIF-1. ER overexpression induced transcription activation of hypoxia response element driven luciferase and vascular endothelial growth factor. As a negative control, the effect of ER on androgen receptor response element was used. Our result indicate that the two ER$\alpha$ and HIF-1 signaling pathways shares part of the activation pathway.
