Intermediary Metabolite Precursor Dimethyl-2-Ketoglutarate Stabilizes Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α by Inhibiting Prolyl-4-Hydroxylase PHD2

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), a major mediator of tumor physiology, is activated during tumor progression, and its abundance is correlated with therapeutic resistance in a broad range of solid tumors. The accumulation of HIF-1α is mainly caused by hypoxia or through the mutated succinate deh...
