Abstract
Conclusions: Our results show that increased levels and nuclear translocation of the cellular oxygen sensor, PHD2, are associated with less differentiated and strongly proliferating tumors. Furthermore, they imply that even the elevated PHD2 levels are not sufficient to down-regulate HIF-1 alpha in some tumors.
