Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are master regulators of cellular responses to low oxygen levels and modulate autophagy, a conserved process essential for maintaining homeostasis. Under hypoxic conditions, HIFs regulate the expression autophagy-related genes influence autophagic flux stress responses. Dysregulated hypoxia-induced autophagy promotes cancer cell survival, metabolism, metastasis, thereby contributing treatment resistance. Targeting HIF-mediated pathways or modulating processes offers potential improve traditional therapies overcome drug Pharmacological inhibitors either alone in combination with other treatments, may disrupt pro-survival mechanisms within tumor microenvironment. Further research is needed elucidate intricate interplay between HIF signaling machinery cells. Understanding these could pave way novel therapeutic strategies enhance outcomes combat This review highlights complex relationship development therapy, offering insights into how targeting patient outcomes.
