HIF1A and glioblastoma: In this study, to address this question, serial sections of 11 glioblastomas and 10 anaplastic astrocytomas were immunostained for HIF-1α, glucose transporter (GLUT)-1, carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX (i.e., hypoxia-related markers), Ki67 (proliferation), phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 [p-rpS6; mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity] and CD34 (microvascular endothelium).
