HIF1α-PHD1-FOXA1 Axis Orchestrates Hypoxic Reprogramming and Androgen Signaling Suppression in Prostate Cancer by Limiao Liang, Dandan Dong, Jiaxue Sun, Qin Zhang, Xiayun Yang, Gong-Hong Wei, Peng Zhang

“…Mechanistically, HIF1α physically interacts with FOXA1, destabilizing it via PHD1-mediated hydroxylation—a previously unrecognized post-translational regulatory node. Under hypoxia, loss of FOXA1 attenuates androgen-responsive transcription while activating hypoxia-inducible genes, demonstrating a dual role for this axis in hypoxia adaptation and prostate cancer progression. …”
