The transcription of the alarmin cytokine interleukin-1 alpha is controlled by hypoxia inducible factors 1 and 2 alpha in hypoxic cells
During hypoxia, cells undergo transcriptional changes to adjust to metabolic stress, to promote cell survival and to induce pro-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induced factors (HIFs) regulate these transcriptional alterations. Failure to restore oxygen levels results in cell death by necrosis. IL-1 alph...
