Up-regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor antisense as a novel approach to treat ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer (OC) is estimated to kill ~14,000 women in the United States in 2019. Current chemotherapies to treat OC initially show therapeutic efficacy but frequently drug resistance develops, at which point therapies with alternative targets are needed. Herein, we are describing a novel approach to sensitize these tumors to standard chemotherapies by increasing the transcription of hypoxia-inducible factor antisense.
