| Abstract |
Mutation of the Parkin gene causes an autosomal recessive juvenile-onset form of Parkinson's disease. However, recently, it has been also linked to a wide variety of malignancies, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In this pathology, Parkin exhibits a tumor suppressor role by mitigating the proliferation rate in both in vitro and in vivo models. However, Parkin involvement in the hypoxic process has not as yet been investigated. GBM is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and is characterized by hypoxic areas. The low oxygen supply causes the expression of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) leading to an accumulation of pro-angiogenic factors and tumoral invasiveness. We assess the relationship between Parkin and two HIFs expressed during hypoxic conditions, namely HIF-1α and HIF-3α. Our data show that Parkin is downregulated under hypoxia and that it interferes with HIF expression based on cellular oxygen tension. These results suggest a role for the involvement of Parkin in GBM, although further studies will be needed to understand the mechanism by which it modulates HIF-1α and HIF-3α expression. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 February 2016.
All research outputs
#3,116,644
of 23,839,820 outputs
Outputs from Cell and Tissue Research
#87
of 2,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#54,276
of 398,659 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cell and Tissue Research
#1
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,839,820 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,279 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 398,659 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
