Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 drives divergent immunomodulatory functions in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases
4 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 (HIF‐1) is a heterodimeric (HIF‐1α/ HIF‐1β) transcription factor in which the oxygen‐sensitive HIF‐1α subunit regulates gene transcription to mediate adaptive tissue responses to hypoxia. HIF‐1 is a key mediator in both regulatory and pathogenic immune responses, because ongoing inflammation in localized tissues causes increased oxygen consumption and consequent hypoxia within...
