Chemical Hypoxia Induces Apoptosis of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells by a NOXA-Mediated HIF-1α and HIF-2α Independent Mechanism

In order to evaluate the effect of chemically mimicked hypoxia on human PSCs cell survival, scientists analyzed changes in cell viability and several aspects of apoptosis triggered by CoCl2 and dimethyloxalylglycine.

The Importance of Hypoxia-Inducible Factors (HIF-1 and HIF-2) for the Pathophysiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Myeloid hypoxia inducible factors(HIF)-1α and HIF-2α played opposing roles in acute dextran sodium sulfate colitis. Thus, not only a cell type specific, but also the isoform specific modulation of HIFs needs to be addressed in attempts to modify HIF for therapeutic purposes.

Hypoxic Glioma Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Containing Linc01060 Promote Progression of Glioma by Regulating the MZF1/C-Myc/HIF-1α

Scientists explored the mechanisms by which lncRNA derived from hypoxic glioma stem cells cause glioma progression. Isolation and identification of the Linc01060 gene, the exosomes containing them, and the proteins from tumor cells regulating the gene allowed for studying the effects of Linc01060 on proliferation and glycometabolism.

Hypoxia-Inducible factor-2α is Crucial for Proper Brain Development

In search of the underlying mechanisms for the specific loss of pyramidal cells in the retrosplenial cortex, the authors found deficits in migration in neural stem cells from Hif-2α knockout mice due to altered expression patterns of genes highly associated with neuronal migration and positioning.

Genetically Engineered Magnetic Nanocages for Cancer Magneto-Catalytic Theranostics

Scientists demonstrated that encapsulin-produced magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites had excellent magnetic saturation and remnant magnetization properties, featuring superior magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency with an ultrahigh specific absorption rate of 2390 W/g to overcome the critical issues of magnetic hyperthermia therapy.

Neddylation Blockade Induces HIF-1α Driven Cancer Cell Migration via Upregulation of ZEB1

Scientists report that inhibiting neddylation activates the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) through the PI3K-Akt pathway, which eventually regulates the epithelial to mesenchymal transition-activator zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) in various cancer cell lines.

Non-canonical Targets of HIF1a Impair Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Function

Using a model of chronic hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF1a) accumulation in pluripotent stem cell-derived oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPCs), scientists demonstrated that HIF1a activates non-canonical targets to impair generation of oligodendrocytes from OPCs.
