Abstract

Hypoxia is an important regulator of angiogenesis and it stimulates neovascularization from existing blood vessels. At the molecular level, it occurs mostly through transcriptional regulation of genes which contain a core consensus sequence called hypoxia response element (HRE) via hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) action. The discovery of HIFs hydroxylases as a family of dioxygenases that regulate HIFs dependently on the oxygen availability have significantly improved our understanding of the mechanisms of hypoxia signaling. Moreover, a broad number of factors have been shown to influence HIF stability and their effects could be mediated via several possible mechanisms including nitrosylation, deacetylation, or oxidation. The induction of HIF leads to the complex regulation of the pro- and antiangiogenic factors and extensive research will be essential for thorough understanding of the role of hypoxia in disease development and will help to identify new therapeutic targets for treatment of such hypoxia-dependent disorders.
