INDUCERS OF THE REGULATORY FACTOR TO HYPOXIA ADAPTATION

The review is devoted to the analysis of the modern conceptions about role of specific regulatory protein HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha) in the mechanisms of adaptation to hypoxia. Experimental and clinical results of using of different HIF-1α inducers (inhibitors of HIF-1α degradation and inactivation, activators of transcription and translation of HIF-1α) to activate the processes of immediate and delayed organism adaptation to hypoxia is discussed in the article. This approach opens promising opportunities for effective pharmacotherapy of cardiovascular and other diseases with hypoxia and ischemia in their pathogenesis.
