HIF-1α nuclear translocation promotes the upregulation and stabilization of Snail and Twist, resulting in cadherin switching, which is characterized by the downregulation of E-cadherin (leading to a loss of intercellular adhesion and consequent activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway) and N-cadherin upregulation in cancer cells [103,104,105]. This evidence concerns the gene CDH17 and cancer.
