Introduction: Hypoxia-induced neuronal damage is the primary cause of cognitive impairment induced by high-altitude exposure. Microglia play a crucial regulatory role in the central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis and synaptic plasticity. M1-type polarized microglia are suspected to be responsible for CNS injury under hypoxic conditions, but the exact molecular mechanism is still unelucidated.

Background: High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a serious and potentially fatal brain injury that is caused by acute hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposure. Vasogenic edema is the main pathological factor of this condition. Hypoxia-induced disruptions of tight junctions in the endothelium trigger blood‒brain barrier (BBB) damage and induce vasogenic edema.

High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a potentially fatal encephalopathy associated with a time-dependent exposure to the hypobaric hypoxia of altitude. The formation of HACE is affected by both vasogenic and cytotoxic edema. The over-activated microglia potentiate the damage of blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exacerbate cytotoxic edema.

Background: Recent studies have shown that functional mitochondria are essential for cancer cells. Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) is a transcription factor that activates mitochondrial biogenesis and the expression of the respiratory chain, but little is known about its role and underlying mechanism in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC).

Methods: NRF1 expression was analyzed via public databases and 24 paired LIHC samples.
