There is growing evidence that hypoxia-inducible transcription factors are involved in the pathophysiology of asthma. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in particular controls the expression of many hypoxia regulated genes, but whether HIF-1alpha directly contributes to allergen-driven immune responses is not known.
