HIF1A, a transcription factor that responds to low oxygen availability and plays a regulatory role in response to a variety of molecular signals of infection and inflammation and induce autophagy (Gladek et al., 2017; Santos and Andrade, 2017), is targeted by hsa-miR-20a-5p and hsa-miR-106b-5p in LP. Here, HIF1A is linked to infection.
