To investigate the role of HIF-1α genetic polymorphism of c.1772C>T and c.1790G>A in the incidence and prognosis of gliomas in a Chinese cohort, a total of 387 gliomas patients and 437 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. The genetic polymorphism of c.1772C>T and c.1790G>A was determined. We found that the genotype distribution at c.1772C>T showed significant difference between patients and controls. Multivariable analyses showed a significantly higher risk for gliomas in 1772TT genotype carriers (odds ratio 2.68, with CC as reference). In addition, we also found a significantly higher risk for grade III + IV gliomas was observed in 1772TT genotype carriers (odds ratio 2.21, with CC as reference). The overall survival rates in patients with 1772TT or 1772CT genotype were markedly lower compared with patients with CC (both P < 0.01). Our in vitro studies revealed that HIF-1α regulates the proliferation, migration and invasion of human glioma U251 cells. This study suggests that the c.1772C>T polymorphisms may be used as a molecular marker for gliomas occurrence, grades and clinical outcome in gliomas patients.

Specific cyprinid HIF isoforms contribute to cellular mitochondrial regulation.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) functions as a master regulator of the cellular response to hypoxic stress. Two HIF-1α paralogs, HIF-1αA and HIF-1αB, were generated in euteleosts by the specific, third round of genome duplication, but one paralog was later lost in most families with the exception of cyprinid fish. How these duplicates function in mitochondrial regulation and whether their preservation contributes to the hypoxia tolerance demonstrated by cyprinid fish in freshwater environments is not clear.

Article Synopsis
- Heat hardening in fish refers to the ability to increase thermal tolerance after exposure to high temperatures, helping them adapt to extreme environments.
- The study focused on zebrafish lacking specific hypoxia-inducible factors (Hif-1), hypothesizing that these fish would show reduced thermal tolerance and diminished heat hardening.
- Contrary to expectations, both Hif-1 knockout and wild-type zebrafish showed similar thermal tolerance and heat hardening abilities, indicating that hypoxia tolerance and thermal tolerance are not functionally linked.
Hif-1α and Hif-2α regulate hemogenic endothelium and hematopoietic stem cell formation in zebrafish.

During development, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) derive from specialized endothelial cells (ECs) called hemogenic endothelium (HE) via a process called endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been reported to positively modulate EHT in vivo, but current data indicate the existence of other regulators of this process. Here we show that in zebrafish, Hif-2α also positively modulates HSC formation.

Macrophages are known to interact with endothelial cells during developmental and pathological angiogenesis but the molecular mechanisms modulating these interactions remain unclear. Here, we show a role for the Hif-1α transcription factor in this cellular communication. We generated hif-1aa;hif-1ab double mutants in zebrafish, hereafter referred to as hif-1α mutants, and find that they exhibit impaired macrophage mobilization from the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region as well as angiogenic defects and defective vascular repair.
