Expression and significance of TLR4 and HIF-1α in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Abstract

TLR4, NF-kappaB p65 and HIF-1alpha are overexpressed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, TLR4 may be partly involved in up-regulating HIF-1alpha, and both synergestically promote development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
