Potential Roles of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 in Alzheimer’s Disease: Beneficial or Detrimental?

The major pathological characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) include senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which are mainly composed of aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau protein, respectively. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)...

description The major pathological characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) include senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which are mainly composed of aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau protein, respectively. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neuroinflammation are crucial contributing factors to the pathological mechanisms of AD. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor critical for tissue adaption to low-oxygen tension. Growing evidence has suggested HIF-1 as a potential therapeutic target for AD; conversely, other experimental findings indicate that HIF-1 induction contributes to AD pathogenesis. These previous findings thus point to the complex, even contradictory, roles of HIF-1 in AD. In this review, we first introduce the general pathogenic mechanisms of AD as well as the potential pathophysiological roles of HIF-1 in cancer, immunity, and oxidative stress. Based on current experimental evidence in the literature, we then discuss the possible beneficial as well as detrimental mechanisms of HIF-1 in AD; these sections also include the summaries of multiple chemical reagents and proteins that have been shown to exert beneficial effects in AD via either the induction or inhibition of HIF-1.
