The cellular responses to hypoxia are complex and characterized by alterations in the expression of a number of genes, including stress-related genes and corresponding proteins that are necessary to maintain homeostasis. The purpose of this article is to review previous and recent studies that have examined the changes in the expression and posttranslational modification of proteins in response to chronic sustained and intermittent forms of hypoxia. A large number of studies focused on the analysis of either the single protein or a subset of related proteins using one-dimensional gel electrophoresis to separate a complex set of proteins from solubilized tissues or cell extracts, followed by immunostaining of proteins using antibodies that are specific to either native or posttranslationally modified forms. On the other hand, only a limited number of studies have examined the global perturbations on protein expression by hypoxia using proteomics approach involving two-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. Results derived from specific protein analysis of a variety of tissues and cells showed that hypoxia, depending on the duration and severity of the stimulus, affects the level and the state of posttranslational modification of a subset of proteins that are associated with energy metabolism, stress response, cell injury, development, and apoptosis. Some of these earlier findings are further corroborated by recent studies that utilize a global proteomics approach, and, more importantly, results from these proteomics investigations on the effects of hypoxia provide new protein targets for further functional analysis. The anticipated new information stems from the analysis of expression, and posttranslational modification of these novel protein targets, along with gene expression profiles, offers exciting new opportunities to further define the mechanisms of cellular responses to hypoxia and to control more effectively the clinical consequences of prolonged or periodic lack of oxygen.
