Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) signaling is a double-edged sword in the intestinal mucosa. HIF signaling has a positive effect on barrier and overall function during homeostasis and positive effects on healing and restitution during acute inflammation. Conversely, in the setting of chronic inflammation, HIF signaling is profibrotic and contributes to a dysregulated response to injury.
