"In normal cells in hypoxic conditions, HIF1A is activated with little activation of HIF2A. However, in tumors the balance of HIF1A and HIF2A is tipped towards HIF2A. While HIF1A serves as a pro-apoptotic factor, HIF2A interacts with Cyclin D1. This leads to increased survival due to lower rates of apoptosis and increased proliferation due to the activation of Cyclin D1.[3]"
this is pretty dubious. theres plenty of normal cell types that activate HIF2a at least as strongly as HIF1a. the apoptosis part is fairly cell type specific also i think. this isnt a proper reference either -- Soltee ( talk) 12:16, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
