Hypoxia-induced CTCF mediates alternative splicing via coupling chromatin looping and RNA Pol II pause to promote EMT in breast cancer by Parik Kakani, Shruti Ganesh Dhamdhere, Deepak Pant, Rushikesh Joshi, Sachin Mishra, Anchala Pandey, Dimple Notani, Sanjeev Shukla

“…Summary: Hypoxia influences the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the remodeling of the chromatin structure, epigenetics, and alternative splicing. Hypoxia drives CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) induction through hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α), which promotes EMT, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”
