Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Chemotherapy resistance of tumor cells is a big challenge. Adaption to hypoxia is an essential cellular response that is controlled by the master oxygen-sensitive transcription factor HIF1 (hypoxia-inducible factor 1). The mechanism by which tumor cells acquire resistance to chemotherapy under hypoxic conditions is not fully understood. In this study, we found that hypoxia induces miR-424 expression and that miR-424 in turn suppresses the level of PDCD4 protein, a tumor suppressor that is involved in apoptosis, by targeting its 3' untranslated region. Functionally, miR-424 overexpression decreases the sensitivity of cancer cells (HCT116 and A375) to doxorubicin (Dox) and etoposide. In contrast, the inhibition of miR-424 enhanced apoptosis and increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to Dox. In a xenograft tumor model, miR-424 overexpression promoted tumor growth following Dox treatment, suggesting that miR-424 promotes tumor cell resistance to Dox. Furthermore, miR-424 levels are inversely correlated with PDCD4 expression in clinical breast cancer samples. These results suggest that miR-424 is a potential molecular target for tumor therapy. © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.
