Hypoxia: Overview on Hypoxia-Mediated Mechanisms with a Focus on the Role of HIF Genes

Abstract: Hypoxia represents a frequent player in a number of malignancies, contributing to the development of the neoplastic disease. This review will discuss the means by which hypoxia powers the mechanisms behind cancer progression, with a majority of examples from lung cancer, the leading malignancy in terms of incidence and mortality rates (the frequent reference toward lung cancer is also for simplification purposes and follow up of the global mechanism in the context of a disease). The effects induced by low oxyg… Show more

“…Chronic hypoxia activates signaling pathways that cause angiogenesis [112]-a proliferation of blood vessels that supply the growing tumor with oxygen. Nevertheless, such vessels exhibit certain structural abnormalities [113] which results in their leakiness [114], and lack of a conventional hierarchy [114,115].…”

“…HIF-1α, recognized as oxygen-labile subunit of HIF-1, contains the transactivation domains responsible for HIF-1α transcriptional activity [21,22]. Despite the fact that HIF-1α is merely highly expressed during hypoxic condition, it is also detectable in normoxic condition.…”

“…291 HIF-1α is a TF, which can be degraded by prolyl hydroxylases, such as PHD2, under normoxic conditions. 292 Notably, lack of oxygen can inactivate PHD, leading to the accumulation and subsequent activation of HIF-1α. Activated HIF-1α can directly bind to the hypoxia-responsive element of the promoter of several EMT-associated genes, such as TWIST1 and TGF-β, to stimulate the induction of EMT.…”
