Schematic representation of the effects of positive single-stranded RNA viruses on HIF-1α and (possible) mechanisms of action

From left to right: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes hypoxemia. The accumulation of HIF-1α increase the levels of angiotensin II and decreases ACE2 expression; Hepatitis E virus (HEV) increases AKT/protein B and stabilizes HIF-1α; HIF-1α regulates genome replication of Dengue virus (DENV); Hepatitis C virus (HCV) stabilizes and promotes the overexpression of HIF-1α via NF-κB, STAT-3, PI3-K/AKT, p22/p44 MAPKs and the HCV core protein.
