Abstract:
The growth of solid tumors can lead to changes in the hypoxic microenvironment of local tissues,and the most important regulatory factor is the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs).In the case of hypoxia,the downstream target genes regulated by HIF-1α regulation mainly are vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1) genes,etc.In recent years,multimodality PET and MRI imaging technologies have been widely used in diagnosis of tumor diseases,and have confirmed that the parameters obtained by imaging are associated with the expression of tumor hypoxic related molecules.The molecular expression of HIF-1α within the tumor and its downstream target genes VEGF and GLUT-1 detected by PET and multifunctional MRI sequential were reviewed in this article.
