}Decreased oxygen availability (hypoxia) promotes physiological processes such as energy metabolism, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and cell viability through the transcription factor HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor). Activation of HIF can also promote pathophysiological processes such as cancer and pulmonary hypertension. The mechanism(s) by which hypoxia activates HIF are the subject of intensive research. In this chapter we outline the model in which mitochondria regulate the stability of HIF…

An experimentally based computational model of HIF1α protein degradation is presented that represents how reactive oxygen species and antioxidants likely affect the Hif1 pathway differentially in cancer and ischemia and justifies the hypothesis that reactive oxygen Species work by two opposite ways on the H IF1 system.

During hypoxia, HIF-2α is deacetylated and thereby activated by SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)–dependent de acetylase, which extends the reach of SIRT 1 as a cell and tissue maintenance and anti-aging factor to include resistance to hypoxic stress.

Redistribution of Intracellular Oxygen in Hypoxia by Nitric Oxide: Effect on HIF1α
- BiologyScience
- 2003
It is demonstrated that, upon inhibition of mitochondrial respiration in hypoxia, oxygen is redistributed toward nonrespiratory oxygen-dependent targets such as prolyl hydroxylases so that they do not register hypoxi, suggesting that the signaling consequences of hypoxIA may be profoundly modified by nitric oxide.
