Figure Lengend Snippet: Genes of interest transcribed by HIF-α isoforms. HIF-1α transcribes metabolic switching genes lactose dehydrogenase- A ( LDHA ), phosphoglycerate kinase 1 ( PGK1 ), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 ( PDK1 ), and switched cyclooxygenase 4 ( COX4 ) from isoform 1 to isoform 2. Both HIF-1α and HIF-2α have been reported to transcribe glucose transporter 1 ( GLUT1 ), monocarboxylate transporters ( MCT ) 1 and 4, erythropoietin ( EPO ), and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) in a cell-specific manner. HIF-2α is particularly involved in modulating the EPO signal. Glu = glucose; 1,3-BPG = 1,3-biphosphoglycerate; 3-PG = 3-phosphoglycerate; Py = pyruvate; Lac = lactate; TCA = tricarboxylic acid cycle; I, II, III, and IV = complexes I, II, III, and IV of electron transport chain.
