Hypoxia refers to a state of oxygen limitation, which mainly mediates pathological processes in the human body and participates in the regulation of normal physiological processes. In the hypoxic environment, the main regulator of human body homeostasis is the hypoxia-inducible factor family (HIF). HIF can regulate the expression of many hypoxia-induced genes and then participate in various physiological and pathological processes of the human body. Ion-transporting proteins are extremely important types of proteins. Ion-transporting proteins are distributed on cell membranes or organelles and strictly control the inflow or outflow of ions in cells or organelles. Changes in ions in cells are often closely related to extensive physiological and pathological processes in the human body. Numerous studies have confirmed that hypoxia and its regulatory factors can regulate the transcription and expression of ion-transporting protein-related genes. Under hypoxic stress, the regulation and interaction of ion-transporting proteins by hypoxia often leads to diseases of various human systems and even tumors. Using ion-transporting proteins and hypoxia as targets to explore the mechanism of digestive system diseases and targeted therapy is expected to become a new breakthrough point.
缺氧是指氧气受限的一种状态,它主要介导人体的病理过程并参与正常生理过程的调节。在缺氧环境中,人体稳态的主要调节因子是缺氧诱导因子家族(HIF)。HIF可调节许多缺氧诱导基因的表达,进而参与人体的各种生理和病理过程。离子转运蛋白是极其重要的一类蛋白质。离子转运蛋白分布于细胞膜或细胞器上,严格控制细胞或细胞器内离子的流入或流出。细胞内离子的变化往往与人体广泛的生理和病理过程密切相关。大量研究证实,缺氧及其调节因子可调节离子转运蛋白相关基因的转录和表达。在缺氧应激下,缺氧对离子转运蛋白的调节和相互作用常导致人体各系统疾病甚至肿瘤。以离子转运蛋白和缺氧为靶点探索消化系统疾病的机制及靶向治疗有望成为一个新的突破点。
