A potentially common peptide target in secreted heat shock protein-90α for hypoxia-inducible factor-1αâpositive tumors
ETOC: Deregulated/overexpressed HIF-1α is found in many solid tumors, and directly sabotaging it is challenging therapeutically. HIF-1α uses secreted Hsp90α, which uses a key epitope, F-5, for invasion and tumor formation. Drugs that target F-5 may be more effective and less toxic for treatment of HIF-1αâpositive tumors
