| Core Tip |
In solid tumors, the heightened metabolism of cancer cells often leads to areas of hypoxia that can drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Dexamethasone is often given to patients with colon cancer to limit the negative side effects of chemotherapy. Our study investigated the effects of dexamethasone on hypoxia-induced EMT and found that it was sufficient to block the propensity for cells to undergo EMT by repressing the hypoxia-induced expression of Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor and other EMT markers. This evidence suggests that dexamethasone co-treatment may limit the migratory properties of colorectal cancer cells that subsist in the hypoxic regions of colorectal cancers. |
