Hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factor in renal disease.
Tissue hypoxia occurs when local metabolism is disturbed by an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption. In patients with chronic kidney disease, chronic hypoxia in the kidneys is the end result of multiple processes and mechanisms. Once established, however, accumulating evidence points to this chronic hypoxia as the central player and final common pathway to end-stage renal disease. Th...

With little in the way of effective therapeutic strategies to target the innate immune response, a better understanding of the critical pathways regulating neutrophil and macrophage responses in inflammation is key to the development of novel therapies. Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) was originally identified as a central transcriptional regulator of cellular responses to oxygen deprivation. Ho...

Naïve T cells activated by antigen-presenting cells (APC) can be differentiated into at least four major types of T-helper (T(H)) cells: T(H)1, T(H)2, T(H)17 and inducible regulatory T cells (iTreg) based on their unique cytokine production profiles and characteristic functions.(1) T(H)1 produce interferon-γ (IFNγ) and are important for protective immune responses to intracellular viral, bacter...

cell metabolism. Cells respond to decreased oxygen tension by inducing adaptive responses aimed at restoring oxygen availability and maintaining energy balance. Most responses to hypoxia are mediated by the activation of a family of transcription factors termed hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). HIF have been shown to regulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) produced by hypoxic cells (s...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible transcription factors and their role in renal disease.
The 2 hypoxia inducible factors (HIF)-1alpha and HIF-2alpha are key mediators of cellular adaptation to hypoxia. They show a specific distribution pattern and possibly have complementary transcriptional targets in the kidney: HIF-1alpha is found mainly in tubular and HIF-2alpha in peritubular interstitial, endothelial, and glomerular cells. Both isoforms are regulated by oxygen-dependent hydrox...
