IHC image of ab16066 staining HIF-1 alpha in human colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer (pH9, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab16066, 10μg/ml working concentration, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Immunohistochemistry was performed on normal biopsies of deparaffinized Human tonsil tissue. To expose target proteins heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1/20 with ab16066 (left) or without primary antibody (negative control - right) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

Supplementary information

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.

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.

Target data

Functions as a master transcriptional regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia (PubMed : 11292861, PubMed : 11566883, PubMed : 15465032, PubMed : 16973622, PubMed : 17610843, PubMed : 18658046, PubMed : 20624928, PubMed : 22009797, PubMed : 30125331, PubMed : 9887100). Under hypoxic conditions, activates the transcription of over 40 genes, including erythropoietin, glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, vascular endothelial growth factor, HILPDA, and other genes whose protein products increase oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia (PubMed : 11292861, PubMed : 11566883, PubMed : 15465032, PubMed : 16973622, PubMed : 17610843, PubMed : 20624928, PubMed : 22009797, PubMed : 30125331, PubMed : 9887100). Plays an essential role in embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis and pathophysiology of ischemic disease (PubMed : 22009797). Heterodimerizes with ARNT; heterodimer binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters (By similarity). Activation requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBBP and EP300 (PubMed : 16543236, PubMed : 9887100). Activity is enhanced by interaction with NCOA1 and/or NCOA2 (PubMed : 10594042). Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX1 seems to activate CTAD and potentiates activation by NCOA1 and CREBBP (PubMed : 10202154, PubMed : 10594042). Involved in the axonal distribution and transport of mitochondria in neurons during hypoxia (PubMed : 19528298).. (Microbial infection) Upon infection by human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is required for induction of glycolysis in monocytes and the consequent pro-inflammatory state (PubMed : 32697943). In monocytes, induces expression of ACE2 and cytokines such as IL1B, TNF, IL6, and interferons (PubMed : 32697943). Promotes human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 replication and monocyte inflammatory response (PubMed : 32697943).
