Function

The protein expressed by the gene HIF1A functions as a master transcriptional regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia, activating the transcription of over 40 genes under hypoxic conditions, including erythropoietin, glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, vascular endothelial growth factor, HILPDA, and others. These genes' protein products enhance oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. HIF1A is crucial for embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis, and ischemic disease pathophysiology. Its activation requires transcriptional coactivators like CREBBP and EP300, with activity enhanced by interactions with NCOA1 and/or NCOA2. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX1 activates CTAD and enhances activation by NCOA1 and CREBBP. Additionally, HIF1A is involved in axonal distribution and mitochondrial transport in neurons during hypoxia. In the context of microbial infection, specifically human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, HIF1A is necessary for glycolysis induction in monocytes, leading to a proinflammatory state, inducing expression of ACE2, cytokines, and promoting virus replication and monocyte inflammatory response.

HIF-1 alpha, also known as hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1A), is a critical regulator of cellular response to low oxygen levels. HIF1A is a transcription factor commonly referred to as a "master regulator of the hypoxic response" for its central role in the regulation of cellular adaptations to hypoxia. Hypoxia contributes to the pathophysiology of human disease, including myocardial and cerebral ischemia, cancer, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A highly specific HIF-1 alpha antibody, essential for studying hypoxia-inducible factors and oxygen homeostasis. This antibody is crucial in tumor hypoxia research, particularly in understanding cancer progression and angiogenesis. It is widely used in studies of metastasis and HIF-1 alpha inhibitors. The HIF1A molecular weight is approximately 120 kDa, and detecting it accurately is essential for understanding its role in the tumor microenvironment. Elevated HIF-1 alpha levels are linked to tumor progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Monitoring HIF-1 alpha can provide valuable insights into cancer biology and potential therapeutic targets. This antibody is also validated for CUT&RUN-seq, which is a key application to map protein-DNA interactions on a genome-wide scale using NGS.

Activity summary

HIF-1 alpha also known as hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha is a transcription factor critical in cellular response to low oxygen levels. Its molecular weight usually ranges from 93 to 120 kDa. You can find HIF-1 alpha expressed in tissues throughout the body but its expression significantly increases under hypoxic conditions. Researchers often use the HIF-1a ELISA to measure its expression levels. HIF-1 alpha forms a complex with other proteins to perform its functions effectively.

Biological function summary

HIF-1 alpha regulates gene expression in response to hypoxic conditions in cells. It forms a complex with HIF-1 beta to activate transcription of various genes involved in energy metabolism angiogenesis and erythropoiesis. HIF-1 alpha enables cells to adapt to reduced oxygen availability allowing for cellular survival and function under stress. It plays an important role in promoting the expression of genes like VEGF and EPO which are important for vascular and red blood cell development respectively.

Pathways

HIF-1 alpha plays an integral role in the hypoxia signaling pathway and the glycolytic pathway. In the hypoxia signaling pathway HIF-1 alpha partners with VHL (Von Hippel-Lindau) protein that regulates its degradation under normal oxygen conditions. When oxygen levels drop HIF-1 alpha avoids degradation stabilizes and translocates into the nucleus to initiate transcription of hypoxia-responsive genes. The glycolytic pathway involvement highlights its function in adapting energy production under hypoxic conditions through collaboration with enzymes and transporters associated with glycolysis.

Associated diseases and disorders

HIF-1 alpha has been implicated in cancer and ischemic diseases. Its role in promoting angiogenesis and metabolic adaptation makes it a contributor to tumor growth and survival collaborating with oncogenes such as c-Myc. In ischemic diseases like stroke or myocardial infarction HIF-1 alpha's ability to induce protective responses can mitigate tissue damage through regulation of survival pathways. Understanding these interactions helps in the development of therapeutic strategies targeting HIF-1 alpha in disease contexts.

    OI-RD Scanning - Anti-HIF-1 alpha antibody [EP1215Y] (ab51608)

    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

    Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing left, HeLa treated with 1mM Deferoxamine for 24h and right, negative untreated HeLa stained with ab51608 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilised with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS containing 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab51608) (1x 106 in 100μl at 0.2μg/ml (1/11000)) for 30min at 22°C.

    The secondary antibody Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed was incubated at 1/4000 for 30min at 22°C

    Isotype control antibody (black line) was Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

    Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter.

    This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa Fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) / permeabilised with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min under the same conditions.

    Western blot - Anti-HIF-1 alpha antibody [EP1215Y] (ab51608)

    Western blot: Anti-HIF1A antibody [EP1215Y] (ab51608) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab51608 was shown to bind specifically to HIF1A. A band was observed at 100 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in HIF1A knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and HIF1A knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

    ChIC/CUT&RUN sequencing - Anti-HIF-1 alpha antibody [EP1215Y] (ab51608)

    ChIC/CUT&RUN was performed using a pAG-MNAse at a final concentration of 700 ng/mL, 2.5 x 10^5 HeLa (Human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) cells treated with Cocl2 (500 μM 20h+4h) and MG-132 (10µM 4h) and 5 µg of ab51608 [EP1215Y]. The resulting DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 10 million reads. The negative IgG control Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab172730 is also shown.

    HIF-1 alpha Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence staining of HeLa cells using rabbit Anti-HIF-1 alpha antibody

    HeLa cells were untreated or treated with 1mM Deferoxamine (DFO) for 24h and fixed with paraformaldehyde for imaging by fluorescent microscopy. Cells were blocked and stained with 1X blocking buffer (10X Blocking Buffer ab126587). Unpurified ab51608 was used at 1:500. DAPI was used to label the nucleus. HIF1 alpha staining is absent in untreated cells and induced by DFO treatment. HIF1 alpha localizes to the nucleus.
