Summary
HIF1A transcription is induced by IFNA2 in human endothelial cells though a JAK-ISGF3 pathway under normoxic conditions, and that this response contributes to the anti-proliferative activity of this cytokine.
HIF1A expression is regulated by intracellular calcium levels, resulting in modulation of PPP3CA (calcineurin) activity and RACK1 dimerization.
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), including HIF1A, regulate glycolytic energy generation, optimize innate immunity, control pro-inflammatory gene expression, mediate bacterial killing and influence cell migration. HIFs contribute to inflammatory functions in various components of innate immunity, such as neutrophils, dendritic cells, mast cells, and epithelial cells.
HIF1A, the most ubiquitously expressed hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), in epithelial cells alters the lung's innate immune response and biases the tissue toward a Th2-mediated inflammation.
HIF1A, under normoxic conditions, accumulates in dendritic cells via the TLR/MYD88/NFkB signalling pathway to induce a distinct subset of proinflammatory genes in comparison to hypoxia-induced HIF1A. (Demonstrated in murine model)
HIF1A mediates the functional plasticity of monocytes during sepsis, wherein they transit from a pro-inflammatory to an immunosuppressive phenotype, while enhancing protective functions like phagocytosis, anti-microbial activity, and tissue remodelling .

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes the alpha subunit of transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which is a heterodimer composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. HIF-1 functions as a master regulator of cellular and systemic homeostatic response to hypoxia by activating transcription of many genes, including those involved in energy metabolism, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and other genes whose protein products increase oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. HIF-1 thus plays an essential role in embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis and pathophysiology of ischemic disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
