Regulation of erythropoiesis by hypoxia-inducible factors

Open access
Haase, Volker H.·2013·Blood Reviews

Abstract

A classic physiologic response to systemic hypoxia is the increase in red blood cell production. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) orchestrate this response by inducing cell-type specific gene expression changes that result in increased erythropoietin (EPO) production in kidney and liver, in enhanced iron uptake and utilization and in adjustments of the bone marrow microenvironment that facilitate erythroid progenitor maturation and proliferation. In particular HIF-2 has emerged as the transcription factor that regulates EPO synthesis in the kidney and liver and plays a critical role in the regulation of intestinal iron uptake. Its key function in the hypoxic regulation of erythropoiesis is underscored by genetic studies in human populations that live at high-altitude and by mutational analysis of patients with familial erythrocytosis. This review provides a perspective on recent insights into HIF-controlled erythropoiesis and iron metabolism, and examines cell types that have EPO-producing capability. Furthermore, the review summarizes clinical syndromes associated with mutations in the O2-sensing pathway and the genetic changes that occur in high altitude natives. The therapeutic potential of pharmacologic HIF activation for the treatment of anemia is discussed.

TL;DR

This review argues that HIF-2, rather than HIF-1, is the central transcription factor controlling adult renal and hepatic erythropoietin production, intestinal iron uptake, and coordination of erythropoiesis with iron metabolism. It also discusses HIF-pathway mutations in erythrocytosis, high-altitude adaptation, and pharmacologic HIF activation as a potential anemia therapy.

Key findings

  • HIF-2 is the main regulator of EPO synthesis in adult kidney and liver: renal and hepatic EPO responses are HIF-2-dependent, whereas HIF-1 does not play a significant role in systemic EPO homeostasis at baseline or after acute anemia.
  • HIF-2 directly regulates intestinal iron uptake genes DMT1 and DCYTB, while hepcidin suppression under hypoxia/hepatic HIF activation is indirect and requires EPO-mediated erythropoietic activity in the bone marrow.
  • Human HIF-pathway mutations cause secondary erythrocytosis: Chuvash polycythemia is caused by homozygous VHL R200W; HIF2A gain-of-function mutations cluster near proline 531; PHD2 mutations reduce hydroxylase activity.
  • High-altitude adaptation involves HIF2A, PHD2, and PPARA variants; native Tibetan males had lower hemoglobin concentrations than Andean males (15.6 g/dL vs. 19.2 g/dL), and CMS is defined by excessive erythrocytosis (females Hgb ≥19 g/dL; males Hgb ≥21 g/dL).
  • Pharmacologic PHD inhibition increases serum EPO and has therapeutic potential for anemia, but PHD1/PHD3 double-knockout mice showed only mild-to-moderate erythrocytosis (Hct 67% vs. 53% in controls), whereas global PHD2 deletion caused severe erythrocytosis (Hct >80%).

Methods

  • Narrative review of experimental and clinical literature on HIF regulation of erythropoiesis, iron metabolism, erythrocytosis syndromes, high-altitude adaptation, and anemia therapeutics.
  • Synthesizes evidence from cell culture, mouse genetic models, human mutational analyses, and high-altitude population studies; no primary data collection or systematic search strategy is reported.
  • Main analysis is qualitative synthesis of mechanisms and clinical implications, not a meta-analysis or systematic review.

Limitations

  • The paper states several unresolved issues: mechanisms underlying loss of EPO-producing ability in CKD are unclear; the degree of overlap between renal EPO-producing cells and myofibroblasts remains to be determined; specific factors required for HIF-2-dependent EPO induction have not yet been identified; the role of sirtuins needs further study; and whether tissue-specific PHD targeting is as efficacious as systemic therapy remains to be investigated.
  • The paper states that long-term effects of HIF-stabilizing compounds on glucose, fat, cholesterol metabolism, angiogenesis, and other processes require careful evaluation in clinical trials and controlled physiologic studies.
  • Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it lacks a systematic search, inclusion criteria, risk-of-bias assessment, and quantitative synthesis, so conclusions may reflect selective citation of the literature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
