Summary: We found that extracellular ATP stimulates HIF-1α signaling and enhances chemoresistance in breast cancer cells. We demonstrated that STAT3-ALDOA mediates ATP-HIF-1α signaling, and PI3K/AKT acts upstream of HIF-1α, contributing to chemoresistance. Inhibition of HIF-1α or combined treatment with HIF inhibitors and ATP hydrolase apyrase increased drug sensitivity in breast cancer cells. Our findings highlight the importance of ATP-HIF-1α signaling in chemoresistance and suggest it as a potential target for breast cancer therapies.

Summary: CRM1, as an overexpressed nuclear export receptor in cancer, can be selectively inhibited by Selinexor, a new FDA-approved drug. Selinexor significantly reduces the intranuclear level of HIF-1 alpha protein and enhances radiosensitivity in cancer cells, suggesting that targeting the HIF pathway by Selinexor could be a promising approach to overcome hypoxia-induced radioresistance.

Summary: Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) is highly expressed in hypoxic tumors, including hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC). Another key transcription factor, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), is also overactivated in HCC. The interaction between NRF2 and HIF-1 alpha contributes to HCC growth and progression.

Summary: Metabolic adaptation and signal integration in response to hypoxia is regulated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). This study shows that high fat diet-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress attenuates the response to hypoxia by promoting the degradation of HIF-1 and HIF-2 through GSK3 beta and the ubiquitin ligase FBXW1A/beta TrCP, leading to decreased proliferation, migration, and increased sensitivity to ER stress-induced apoptosis. Moreover, hypoxia affects the ER stress response mainly through the PERK-arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Summary: In this study, we found that LINC01126 is upregulated in periodontitis-induced hypoxia, suppressing proliferation, promoting apoptosis and inflammation of hPDLCs by sponging miR-518a-5p. Additionally, HIF-1 alpha was identified as a direct target of miR-518a-5p in hPDLCs, and LINC01126 promotes periodontitis pathogenesis by regulating the miR-518a-5p/HIF-1 alpha/MAPK pathway.

Summary: High-dose hypofractionated radiation stimulates anti-tumor immune response but also increases immune suppression mediated by HIF alpha. Inhibition of HIF-1 alpha can restore radiation-induced anti-tumor immunity. Combination of HIF-1 alpha inhibitors with immune checkpoint blocking antibodies may enhance overall anti-tumor immune profile.

Summary: The lncRNA-MIR210HG is induced by hypoxia in ovarian cancer, mainly located in the cytosol, and promotes cancer progression by inhibiting HIF-1 alpha degradation. Its upregulation is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients.

Summary: The study found that hypoxia can suppress the development of rheumatoid arthritis by controlling HIF-1 alpha expression, delaying joint swelling and reducing joint destruction. Deferoxamine-mediated activation of HIF-1 alpha can counteract the inhibitory effect of sustained hypoxia on pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Summary: Tumour cells under hypoxia increase the release of extracellular vesicles, specifically the endosome-derived subtype, due to the downregulation of ATP6V1A expression by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha). This leads to impaired lysosomal degradation and reduced fusion of multivesicular bodies with lysosomes, allowing the secretion of intraluminal vesicles as extracellular vesicles. These findings establish a HIF-1 alpha-regulated lysosomal dysfunction-extracellular vesicle release axis and contribute to the understanding of extracellular vesicle biogenesis.

Summary: In this study, it was found that hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) is suppressed in scalp tissues of androgenetic alopecia patients and potentially associated with hair follicle development. Knockdown of HIF-1 alpha in dermal papilla cells (DPCs) resulted in decreased expression of trichogenic genes. Moreover, under a mimicked in vivo environment, HIF-1 alpha-suppressed DPCs showed downregulation of hair induction-related genes. Treatment with a HIF-1 alpha activator increased the expression of trichogenic genes in DPCs. This study suggests that dermal HIF-1 alpha expression plays a crucial role in regulating hair follicle development and offers potential therapeutic strategies for hair loss treatment.
