Activation of the Oxidative Stress Pathway by HIV-1 Vpr Leads to Induction of Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1α Expression

TLDR
The results point to the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) upon HIV-1 infection and its elevation in brain cells of AIDS patients with dementia and that, by inducing oxidative stress via activation of Hif-1, Vpr can induce HIV- 1 gene expression and dysregulate multiple host cellular pathways.

Activation of Hypoxia-inducible Transcription Factor Depends Primarily upon Redox-sensitive Stabilization of Its α Subunit

TL;DR: Results suggest that an intact redox-dependent signaling pathway is required for destablization of the HIF-1α protein, which was rapidly and drastically decreased in vivo following an abrupt increase to normal oxygen tension.

Inhibitory PAS domain protein is a negative regulator of hypoxia-inducible gene expression

TL;DR: An inhibitory PAS (Per/Arnt/Sim) domain protein, IPAS, which is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)/PAS protein structurally related to HIFs, is described, which demonstrates dominant negative regulation of HIF-mediated control of gene expression.

Reactive oxygen species activate the HIF-1alpha promoter via a functional NFkappaB site.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time to the authors' knowledge that reactive oxygen species directly link HIF-1&agr; and NF-&kgr;B, implicating an important pathophysiological role of this novel pathway in disorders associated with elevated levels of reactive oxygen Species.
