TLDR
Evidence is provided that alteration of cellular redox states by treating cells with H2O2 or dithiothreitol impairs hypoxia signaling mechanisms and the expression of HIF-1 alpha protein in hypoxic cells.

Regulation of mammalian o2 homeostasis by hypoxia-inducible factor 1

TL;DR: HIF-1 appears to function as a master regulator of O2 homeostasis that plays essential roles in cellular and systemic physiology, development, and pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger hypoxia-induced transcription

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested whether mitochondria act as O2 sensors during hypoxia and whether cobalt activated transcription by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species generated at mitochondrial complex III stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha during hypoxia: a mechanism of O2 sensing.

TL;DR: Findings reveal that mitochondria-derived ROS are both required and sufficient to initiate HIF-1α stabilization during hypoxia and that catalase abolishes hypoxic response element-luciferase expression during Hypoxia.

Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1α (HIF-1α) Protein Is Rapidly Degraded by the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System under Normoxic Conditions ITS STABILIZATION BY HYPOXIA DEPENDS ON REDOX-INDUCED CHANGES

TL;DR: Findings strongly suggest that the hypoxia induced changes in HIF-1alpha stability and subsequent gene activation are mediated by redox-induced changes.

Redox Regulation of Cell Survival

TL;DR: The current understanding of how disturbance in redox homeostasis may affect cell death and contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer and degenerative disorders is reviewed and the basic knowledge on redox regulation of cell survival can be used to develop strategies for the treatment or prevention of those diseases.
