4. HIF-1: HYPOXIA INDUCIBLE FACTOR - 1
1. HIF-1 is a protein with
DNA binding activity.
2. Ubiquitous Expression
3. HIF-1 is a transcription
factor that turns on genes
needed for survival under
hypoxic conditions.
Oxygen Concentration
6. HREs HRPs
Hypoxia Recognition Hypoxia Response
1. RBPs and microRNAs
that interact with
HIF-1α mRNA and
modulate the production
of HIF-1α protein in
hypoxia 2. HIF-1α transcriptionally
upregulates the
expression of
target genes bearing
HREs
3. Hypoxia-response
proteins like GLUT1
and VEGF are
transcripted
7. 1. With hypoxia, the HIF
restored perfusion also
facilitates PMNs’
diapedesis
2. Naturally occurring
low-grade hypoxic
reaction and hence HIF-1
accumulation in oral
epithelia followed by
corresponding HIF-1
downstream genes
expression were recently
postulated to be a key
concept
3. Putative HIF-1α binding
site prevented hypoxia-
induced RANKL
transcriptional
promotion, thus
suggesting that HIF-1α
mediates hypoxia-
induced upregulation of
RANKL expression and
enhanced
osteoclastogenesis
8. What is the role of HIF-1 in
periodontal surgery?
What is the effect of
periodontopathic organisms
on HIF-1?
What are the other Hypoxia-
response elements seen in
periodontal tissues?

Glucose transporter 1 GLUT1 facilitates the transport of glucose across the plasma membranes of mammalian cells.
These processes are modulated efficiently by both RNA-binding proteins (rbpS))
HIF is a transcription factor. Transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA, by binding to a specific DNA sequence. HIF-1 expression increases exponentially when O2 concentration decreases. The curve shows a point of inflection around 4-5% O2, which is the O2 concentration in normal human tissues.
Transferrin is a blood-plasma glycoprotein, which plays a central role in iron metabolism and is responsible for ferric-ion delivery
Nitric oxide synthase is expressed in epithelial cells of the liver, lung and bone marrow. Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical mediating in neurotransmission, antimicrobial and antitumoral activities.
Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for VEGFA, VEGFB and PGF, and plays an essential role in the development of embryonic vasculature, the regulation of angiogenesis
A microRNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA. HIF-1 accumulates and translocates
into nucleus. In the nucleus, it binds to HIF-1
forming HIF-1.
