A working model of hypoxia and Hif-1α on mESC differentiation. Hypoxia suppressed the mesendoderm differentiation and promoted the ectoderm differentiation of mESCs by inhibiting the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway. The inhibition of the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway was through the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β axis. Hif-1α, on the contrary, promoted the mesendoderm differentiation and suppressed the ectoderm differentiation, which was at least partially through the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway as well
