    Abstract

    Hypoxia is a common pathophysiological occurrence with a profound impact on the cellular transcriptome. The consequences of hypoxia-induced or hypoxia-repressed gene expression have important implications in disease processes as diverse as tumour development and chronic inflammation. While the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) plays a major role in controlling the ubiquitous transcriptional response to hypoxia, it is clear that a number of other transcription factors are also activated either directly or indirectly. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the transcription factors that have been reported to be hypoxia-responsive and the signalling mechanisms leading to their activation. Understanding such events will enhance our understanding of cellular oxygen sensing.
