HIF-1α signaling:Essential roles in tumorigenesis and implications in targeted therapies

The hypoxic microenvironment is an essential characteristic of most malignant tu-mors.Notably,hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha(HIF-1α)is a key regulatory factor of cellular adaptation to hypoxia,and many critical pathways are correlated with the biological activity of organisms via HIF-1α.In the intra-tumoral hypoxic environment,HIF-1α is highly expressed and contributes to the malignant progression of tumors,which in turn results in a poor prog-nosis in patients.Recently,it has been indicated that HIF-1α involves in various critical pro-cesses of life events and tumor development via regulating the expression of HIF-1α target genes,such as cell proliferation and apoptosis,angiogenesis,glucose metabolism,immune response,therapeutic resistance,etc.Apart from solid tumors,accumulating evidence has re-vealed that HIF-1α is also closely associated with the development and progression of hemato-logical malignancies,such as leukemia,lymphoma,and multiple myeloma.Targeted inhibition of HIF-1α can facilitate an increased sensitivity of patients with malignancies to relevant ther-apeutic agents.In the review,we elaborated on the basic structure and biological functions of HIF-1α and summarized their current role in various malignancies.It is expected that they will have future potential for targeted therapy.
