Cellular processes affected by hypoxia Processes at the top are Biology Diagrams The transcriptional response to hypoxia and the role of hypoxia inducible factors have been extensively studied. Yet, hypoxic cells also adapt to hypoxia by modulating protein synthesis The cell cycle is an important cellular process whereby the cell attempts to replicate its genome in an error-free manner. As such, mechanisms must exist for the cell cycle to respond to stress signals such as those elicited by hypoxia or reduced oxygen availability. This review focuses on the role of transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms initiated in hypoxia that interface with
HIFs bind to hypoxia response elements (HREs) in the promoter regions of a large number of targets, including those involved in cell survival, angiogenesis, glycolysis, and invasion/metastasis. Certain mutations in TSC2 confer a growth advantage to cells by repressing hypoxic mTORC1 inhibition and hypoxia-induced cell cycle arrest 135.

The hypoxia response mounted by the HIFs promotes cell survival and energy conservation. As such, this response has to deal with important cellular process such as cell division. In this review, the integration of oxygen sensing with the cell cycle will be discussed. The cell cycle is an important cellular process whereby the cell attempts to replicate its genome in an error-free manner. As such, mechanisms must exist for the cell cycle to respond to stress signals such as those elicited by hypoxia or reduced oxygen availability. This review focuses on the role …
