The molecular mechanisms by which cells detect hypoxia (1.5% O2), resulting in the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) protein remain unclear.
Primary evidence for this model comes from the observation that cells treated with complex I inhibitors, such as rotenone, or cells that lack mitochondrial DNA (rho (0)-cells) fail to generate reactive oxygen species or stabilize HIF-1alpha protein in response to hypoxia.

Specifically, hypoxia significantly increases beta-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE1) gene transcription through the over-expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha, resulting in increased BACE1 secretase activity and amyloid-beta production.
The involvement of reactive oxygen species released by mitochondria in the BACE1 up-regulation was confirmed by the complete protection exerted by complex I inhibitors such as rotenone and diphenyl-phenylen iodonium.

Because mitochondria have been postulated to be involved in the regulation of HIF-1, we tested the effects of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I inhibitors, rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenylpiridinium (MPP (+)), on hypoxic-induced accumulation of HIF-1 alpha, the regulated component of the dimer.

To test this hypothesis in the CB glomus cells, we studied the effect of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) inhibitors: rotenone (complex I; 1 microM), malonate (complex II; 0.5 M), antimycin A (complex III; 1 microg/ml), sodium azide (complex IV; 5 mM), and uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation: carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP; 1 mM) on HIF-1alpha expression during normoxia and hypoxia.

Because nickel is known to mimic hypoxia, the present study examined whether nickel transcriptionally activates PAI-1 through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 alpha signaling pathway.

When complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) of the mitochondrial electron transport chain is inhibited by feeding rotenone, the cycle is totally eliminated and blood alcohol levels remain constant at 200 mg/%.
The genes responsive to hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha (HIF1alpha) regulation are increased including the expression of erythropoietin, adrenomedullin and adrenergic receptor alpha 1a and d.
