Abstract Background Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 HIF-1 plays a key role in cellular adaptation to hypoxia. To better understand the determinants of HIF-1 binding and transactivation we used ChIP-chip and gene expression profiling to define the relationship between the epigenetic landscape sites of HIF-1 binding and genes transactivated by hypoxia in two cell lines. Results We found that when cells were acutely subjected to hypoxia HIF-1 preferentially bound to loci that were already transcriptionally active under normal growth conditions characterized by the presence of histone H3 lysine 4 methylation the presence of RNA polymerase II and basal production of mRNA. Cell type-specific differences in HIF-1 binding were largely attributable to differences in the basal gene expression patterns in the cells prior to the onset of hypoxia. Conclusions These results suggest that the repertoire of genes active in a cell for example through lineage specific transcription factors defines the subset of genes that .
