  • Title: Hypoxia inducible factor one alpha and human viral pathogens.
    Author: Morinet F, Parent M, Pillet S, Koken M, Lebbé C, Capron C.
    Journal: Curr Res Transl Med; 2017; 65(1):7-9. PubMed ID: 28340697.
    Abstract:
    If the oxygen tension level is 21% in ambient air, it is only between 14% and 1% in vivo. Consequently, viral pathogens are exposed and must adapt to these fluctuating oxygen levels to colonize the host and cause diseases. The problem is that for many years, the virological studies have been performed at 21% oxygen levels and consequently this is a real handicap to have a correct view of the mechanistic aspects of human viral infections. In this brief review, we describe for some selected examples the interactions of human viruses with this relative hypoxia observed in vivo.
