Oxygen Sensing by Metazoans: The Central Role of the HIF Hydroxylase Pathway

TLDR
HIF plays a central role in the transcriptional response to changes in oxygen availability and is modulated by FIH1-mediated asparagine hydroxylation, and HIF-modulatory drugs are now being developed for diverse diseases.

ROS Function in Redox Signaling and Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: It is argued that redox biology, rather than oxidative stress, underlies physiological and pathological conditions.

Reactive oxygen species in cancer

TL;DR: The generation of ROS within tumour cells, their detoxification, their cellular effects, as well as the major signalling cascades they utilize are discussed, but also an outlook on their modulation in therapeutics is provided.

Hypoxia-Inducible Factors in Physiology and Medicine

TL;DR: Oxygen homeostasis represents an organizing principle for understanding metazoan evolution, development, physiology, and pathobiology and rapid progress is being made in elucidating homeostatic roles of HIFs in many physiological systems, determining pathological consequences of H IF dysregulation in chronic diseases, and investigating potential targeting of Hifs for therapeutic purposes.

Otto Warburg's contributions to current concepts of cancer metabolism

TL;DR: Otto Warburg's observations are re-examine in relation to the current concepts of cancer metabolism as being intimately linked to alterations of mitochondrial DNA, oncogenes and tumour suppressors, and thus readily exploitable for cancer therapy.

Targeting HIF-1 for cancer therapy

TL;DR: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activates the transcription of genes that are involved in crucial aspects of cancer biology, including angiogenesis, cell survival, glucose metabolism and invasion.

Cellular and developmental control of O2 homeostasis by hypoxia-inducible factor 1α

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HIF-1alpha is a master regulator of cellular and developmental O2 homeostasis in Hif1a-/- embryos that manifested neural tube defects, cardiovascular malformations, and marked cell death within the cephalic mesenchyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of HIF-1alpha in hypoxia-mediated apoptosis, cell proliferation and tumour angiogenesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that hypoxia and hypoglycaemia reduce proliferation and increase apoptosis in wild-type (Hif-1α+/+) embryonic stem (ES) cells, but not in ES cells with inactivated HIF-1 α genes (HIF- 1α−/−), suggesting that there are at least two different adaptive responses to being deprived of oxygen and nutrients.

Oxygen sensing by HIF hydroxylases

TL;DR: The transcription factor HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) has a central role in oxygen homeostasis in animals ranging from nematode worms to man and is regulated by an unprecedented signalling mechanism that involves post-translational hydroxylation.

Succinate links TCA cycle dysfunction to oncogenesis by inhibiting HIF-α prolyl hydroxylase

TL;DR: A mitochondrion-to-cytosol signaling pathway that links mitochondrial dysfunction to oncogenic events is described, suggesting a mechanistic link between SDH mutations and HIF-1alpha induction, providing an explanation for the highly vascular tumors that develop in the absence of VHL mutations.
