“…The common shared targets are VEGF, GLUT-1, GLUT-3, and HK2. HIF-1α exclusively stimulates the expression of several glycolytic enzymes, whereas the embryonic transcription factors Oct-4, cyclin D1, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and erythropoietin (EPO) are activated in a HIF-2α-dependent manner (Figure 2) (Florczyk, et al 2011; Franke, et al 2013; Furlow, et al 2009; Koh, et al 2011; Patel and Simon 2008; Rankin, et al 2007; Singh, et al 2013). The differential effects of these two transcription factors in numerous cellular systems are now well established and reviewed, including their link to the pathogenesis of PHEO and PGL (Branco-Price, et al 2012; Chiavarina, et al 2012; Holmquist-Mengelbier, et al 2006; Jochmanova, et al 2013; Keith et al 2012; Koh et al 2011; Semenza 2012).…”
