The transcription factor HIF-1α (hypoxia inducible factor 1α) has an essential role in the maintenance of oxygen homeostasis in metazoans. HIF-1α expression and activity in the hypoxic response is regulated at the translation and post-translational levels. However, the mechanism and modulator of HIF-1α translation during hypoxia is not fully understood. We found that HIF-1α expression during hypoxia was upregulated by the microRNA 130 (miR-130) family. Levels of the miR-130 family are elevated u ...[more]
