Selection and analysis of a mutant cell line defective in the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha-subunit (HIF-1alpha). Characterization of hif-1alpha-dependent and -independent hypoxia-inducible gene expression.

TLDR
The utility of mutagenesis and selection of mutant cells in the analysis of mammalian transcriptional responses to hypoxia is shown and the operation of HIF-1alpha-dependent and Hif-1 alpha-independent pathways of hypoxIA-inducible gene expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells is demonstrated.

The tumour suppressor protein VHL targets hypoxia-inducible factors for oxygen-dependent proteolysis

TL;DR: It is indicated that the interaction between HIF-1 and pVHL is iron dependent, and that it is necessary for the oxygen-dependent degradation of HIF α-subunits, which may underlie the angiogenic phenotype of VHL-associated tumours.

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.

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

HIF-1: mediator of physiological and pathophysiological responses to hypoxia

TL;DR: HIF-1 appears to play a key role in the pathophysiology of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic lung disease, which represent the major causes of mortality among industrialized societies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asparagine hydroxylation of the HIF transactivation domain a hypoxic switch.

TL;DR: Full induction of HIF-1α and -2α relies on the abrogation of both Pro and Asn hydroxylation, which during normoxia occur at the degradation and COOH-terminal transactivation domains, respectively.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 is a basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS heterodimer regulated by cellular O2 tension

TL;DR: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is found in mammalian cells cultured under reduced O2 tension and is necessary for transcriptional activation mediated by the erythropoietin gene enhancer in hypoxic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nuclear factor induced by hypoxia via de novo protein synthesis binds to the human erythropoietin gene enhancer at a site required for transcriptional activation.

TL;DR: A functionally tripartite, 50-nt hypoxia-inducible enhancer which binds several nuclear factors, one of which is induced by Hypoxia via de novo protein synthesis.

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.

Endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1), a transcription factor selectively expressed in endothelial cells.

TL;DR: EPAS1 expression is limited to the endothelium of mouse embryos and is capable of specifically activating the transcription of the endothelial tyrosine kinase gene Tie-2, raising the possibility that EPAS1 may represent an important regulator of vascularization, perhaps involving the regulation of endothelial cell gene expression in response to hypoxia.

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.
