Summary: This review summarizes the existing data on the effects of toxic metals on HIF-1 signaling and its underlying mechanisms, with a special focus on the prooxidant effect of metals. The effect of metals on HIF-1 pathway varies depending on the cell type, ranging from down-regulation to up-regulation. Inhibition of HIF-1 signaling may contribute to hypoxic damage in cells, while metal-induced activation may promote tumor growth and contribute to the carcinogenic effects of heavy metals.

Summary: 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) diminishes the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in mice, regardless of their health status or metabolic challenges. The inhibition is mediated by downregulating Hif-1 alpha and inducing HO-1.

Summary: Cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) leads to maladaptation of cardiac metabolism during puberty, accompanied by impaired cardiac function. The study identified HIF-1 alpha as the key regulator of cardiac metabolic adaptation in CH animal models, with pubertal insulin resistance potentially suppressing its expression.

Summary: Chronic liver disease is a prevalent public health problem worldwide, with steatosis driving the progression of the disease to cirrhosis or liver cancer. The hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF-1a) plays a central role in hepatic lipid metabolism by promoting intrahepatic lipid deposition. HIF-1a is also expressed in white adipose tissue, where it contributes to the accumulation of fatty acids in the liver. In contrast, intestinal expression of HIF-1a maintains a healthy microbiota and intestinal barrier, providing protection against hepatic steatosis. This article provides an overview of the role of HIF-1a in hepatic steatosis and highlights the potential for therapeutic interventions targeting the HIF-1a pathway.

Summary: Since the 1950s, hypoxia has been identified as a crucial characteristic of cancer cells and their microenvironment, promoting cancer growth, survival, and metastasis. In the early 1990s, the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1 alpha) was discovered as a key process in hypoxia, influencing angiogenesis and contributing to tumorigenesis, development, immune escape, and recurrence.
