Hypoxia increases the expression of netrin-1 in prostate cancer cells.
Knockdown of netrin-1 inhibits hypoxia-induced invasion, migration and EMT.
Netrin-1 is involved in hypoxia-induced activation of YAP.
Hypoxia-induced YAP activation accounts for DC145 cell invasion and migration.
YAP elevation abates the inhibition of netrin-1 silence on cell metasis upon hypoxia.
