Introduction: Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key player in the signaling pathway that mediates a complex and pleiotropic range of adaptive responses to hypoxia. It serves as cellular hypoxia sensor and plays a critical role in physiologic processes including glucose metabolism, iron metabolism, erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, cell survival and apoptosis, but also, pathologic processes such as carcinogenesis, progression and metastasis of many cancers. With the recent advent of new molecular targeted therapies, there is a growing need of molecular understanding of physiology and physiopathology and increased demand of diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up markers.
Areas Covered: This paper reviews the biology of regulation of HIF-1α, its physiological and physiopathological effects.
Expert Opinion: The authors discuss the potential diagnosis and the prognosis significance of HIF-1α that was evaluated in recent studies.

Th2 cells must sense and adapt to the tissue milieu in order to provide protective host immunity and tissue repair. Here, we examined the mechanisms promoting Th2 cell differentiation and function within the small intestinal lamina propria. Single cell RNA-seq analyses of CD4 T cells from the small intestinal lamina propria of helminth infected mice revealed high expression of the gene , encoding the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 2a (HIF2α).

Using CRISPR/Cas9 screening, we found loss of VHL suppressed Sarm1-mediated cellular degeneration. VHL normally promotes O -dependent constitutive ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), but during hypoxia, HIF-1 is stabilized and regulates gene expression.

Hydroxylation, an extensive post-translational modification on proline, is critical for the modulation of protein structures, further dominating their functions in life systems. However, current mass spectrometry-based identification, could hardly distinguish hydroxylation from neighboring oxidation due to the same mass shifts, as well as challenges posed by low abundance and exogenous oxidation during sample preparation. To address these, an engineered nanopore was designed, capable of discriminating single hydroxyl group, to achieve the identification of proline hydroxylation on individual native peptides directly in the mixture.

Cellular senescence precipitates a decline in physiological activities and metabolic functions, often accompanied by heightened inflammatory responses, diminished immune function, and impaired tissue and organ performance. Despite extensive research, the mechanisms underpinning cellular senescence remain incompletely elucidated. Emerging evidence implicates circadian rhythm and hypoxia as pivotal factors in cellular senescence.

Tripterygium wilfordii (TW), which has severe hepatotoxicity, is commonly used as anti-rheumatism. Using the juice of auxiliary herbs in concocting poisonous herbs is a conventional method for toxicity reduction or efficacy enhancement. Traditional Chinese Pharmacy textbooks record that Spatholobi Caulis (SC) can alleviate the side effects caused by TW and also possesses excellent hepatoprotective effect.
