Maintaining health in microgravity and overcoming environmental hazards such as cosmic radiation are essential for long-term space flight. Recent studies have focused on the involvement of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 in altered gravity using cell-based or in vivo mouse model systems. HIF-1alpha and its target downstream gene expression are differentially expressed in hypergravity and microgravity. Nevertheless, underlying molecular mechanism of HIF-1alpha involvement is still unclear. Herein, we analyzed the 2019 Science paper by Garrett-Bakelman and coauthors in which NASA performed multidimensional analyses of long-term human spaceflight in identical twin astronauts. Correlations were found between the expression of HIF-1alpha related cytokines and prolonged space flight. We hypothesize that HIF-1alpha is a molecular target for the development of therapeutics to prevent the detrimental effects of microgravity and cosmic radiation on astronauts during long-term space flight.

Mantener la salud en microgravedad y superar los peligros ambientales como la radiación cósmica son esenciales para los vuelos espaciales a largo plazo. Estudios recientes se han centrado en la participación del factor inducible por hipoxia (HIF) -1 en la gravedad alterada utilizando sistemas de modelos de ratones basados en células o in vivo. HIF-1alpha y su expresión génica secuencial objetivo se expresan diferencialmente en hipergravedad y microgravedad. Sin embargo, el mecanismo molecular subyacente de la participación de HIF-1alpha aún no está claro. Aquí, analizamos el artículo de Ciencia de 2019 de Garrett-Bakelman y coautores en el que la NASA realizó análisis multidimensionales de vuelos espaciales humanos a largo plazo en astronautas gemelos idénticos. Se encontraron correlaciones entre la expresión de citoquinas relacionadas con HIF-1alpha y el vuelo espacial prolongado. Presumimos que HIF-1alpha es un objetivo molecular para el desarrollo de terapias para prevenir los efectos perjudiciales de la microgravedad y la radiación cósmica en los astronautas durante los vuelos espaciales a largo plazo.
