The impact of hypoxia-inducible factors in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases: a link through cell metabolism
Orestes Foresto-Neto, Ana Ruth Paolinetti Alves da Silva, Marcella Cipelli, Fernanda Paula Roncon Santana-Novelli, Niels Olsen Saraiva Camara
Received January 11, 2023  Accepted March 20, 2023  
Kidneys are sensitive to disturbances in oxygen homeostasis. Hypoxia and activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway alter the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of renal and immune cells, interfering with their functioning. Whether the transcriptional activity of HIF protects the kidneys or participates in the pathogenesis of renal diseases is unclear. Several studies have indicated that HIF...
