Overview of HIF-1α role in the maintenance of Gut Homeostasis. Inactivated HIF-1α could deteriorate intestinal epithelial integrity that exposes human commensals toward allows host immune response and develop an environment unsuitable for the colonization of the commensals. In contrast, activation of HIF-1α could modulate cellular bioprocesses to establish a favorable environment for their colonization.
