Oxygen, a source of life and stress

Brahimi-Horn, M. Christiane, Pouysségur, Jacques·2007·FEBS Letters

Abstract

Oxygen is an essential element in the survival of complex organisms, however the level of oxygen, low or high, can be a source of stress depending on the biological context. Low levels of oxygen in tissues (hypoxia) can be the consequence of a number of pathophysiological conditions including ischemic disorders and cancer while relative, higher levels (hyperoxia) can lead to retinopathy of prematurity. The local oxygen environment and oxygen consumption dictate vascular homeostasis, vaso‐proliferation and vaso‐cessation, which is deregulated in these diseases through oxygen‐dependent growth factors. In this review, we will introduce aspects of the physiology and biology of oxygen partial pressure and the molecular mechanisms implicated in oxygen sensing. We will outline the regulation and function of the key operator in cellular signalling of hypoxia, the transcription factor, hypoxia‐inducible factor. In addition, we will focus on cancer cell hypoxia and on its role in driving cell metabolism, pH regulation and survival.

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.
