Abstract

We analyzed the effects of selective knockdown of either HIF-1α or HIF-2α on the transcriptional response to hypoxia of human umbilical endothelial cells at two time-points (2 h and 8 h) of hypoxia. We focused on 13 previously identified hypoxia-responsive genes, pre-selected to have different activation kinetics and different proportions of HRE motifs annotated to either HIF-1 or HIF-2 in open promoters - open chromatin DNase-hypersensitive sites (DHS) regions within ±1 kb of the gene start. We report that genes activated by both HIF-1 and 2 tend to be activated earlier than genes activated by HIF-1 only, which, in turn, tend to be activated earlier than genes activated by HIF-2 only. Moreover, for the 13 analyzed genes, we found that the effect of silencing HIF1A on the gene induction by hypoxia is greater for the genes with more HRE motifs annotated to HIF-1 in their promoter open chromatin DHS regions within ±1 kb and also within ±10 kb of the gene start. We corroborated and extended this finding by showing that among 232 genes previously identified as activated by hypoxia, the genes with ChIP-seq peak(s) for HIF-1α within a ±10 kb flank of the gene start contain more HRE motifs annotated to HIF-1 in the DHS regions within this flank than the genes with no ChIP-seq peaks. Also in the whole genome, the DHS regions intersecting ChIP-seq peaks for HIF-1α contain more HRE motifs annotated to HIF-1 than the DHS regions not intersecting the ChIP-seq peaks. This suggests a mechanism, by which higher promoter content of HRE motifs in DHS regions increases HIF-1 binding, which in turn increases gene induction by hypoxia.

  • Diversity in HIF complex composition contributes to cell type-specific hypoxic transcriptional responses.

    “This diversity in HIF complex composition contributes to cell type–specific hypoxic transcriptional responses”

    From HIF inhibition: Current strategies and clinical challenges (2026) · cites this paper as [66]

    The Introduction describes HIF-1 and HIF-2 as complexes with different alpha subunits and distinct binding preferences. The Discussion reports that they regulate different hypoxia-responsive genes in human umbilical endothelial cells, but it does not establish that variation in complex composition causes differences in transcriptional responses between cell types; it notes substantial agreement with findings in other cell types. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • The global architecture of HIF-1- and HIF-2-dependent target gene networks remains largely conserved across different cell types.

    “Notwithstanding these distinctions, the global architecture of HIF-1- and HIF-2-dependent target gene networks remains largely conserved across different cell types [7,66,68,70]”

    From HIF inhibition: Current strategies and clinical challenges (2026) · cites this paper as [66]

    The Discussion reports agreement between HUVECs and other cell types on which HIF regulates seven selected genes. It also says the distribution of HIF-1 and HIF-2 binding sites remains similar across cell types. These observations support some cross-cell-type conservation, but the paper does not establish that the global architecture of HIF-dependent target-gene networks is conserved. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.

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.
