Hypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIF) control gene expression when oxygen availability is low and are associated with the onset and progression of a variety of cancers. They are heterodimers of an HIF-α (HIF-1α, HIF-2α also known as EPAS-1, or HIF-3α) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT, also known as HIF-β). N-(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)-4-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-5-amine is a highly selective antagonist of HIF-2 heterodimerization, DNA-binding activity, and target gene transcription. It binds the HIF-2α PAS-B domain with a KD ~80 nM compared to a KD > 5000 nM for the HIF-1α PAS-B domain.

The hypoxia inducible transcription factor EPAS1/HIF2α has been described as an oncogene and a potential therapeutic target in neuroblastoma. Our analysis of several neuroblastoma tumour expression datasets does not support an oncogenic role, instead EPAS1 expression is associated with better

Previous studies have reported the up-regulation of the two-pore domain K+ channel K2P5.1 in the CD4+ T cells of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) directly activates the transcription of metabolic enzymes in response to hypoxia to reprogram cellular metabolism required for tumor cell proliferation. Through analyzing glutamate-linked aminotransferases, we here identified glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2 (GPT2) as a direct HIF-2 target
Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is a disfiguring periocular connective tissue disease associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders. It is a potentially blinding condition, for which no effective pharmacological treatment has been established. Despite a suggested role played by autoimmune thyrotropin receptor activation
