Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for GBS-positive mothers has reduced the incidence of GBS early-onset disease, however, potential long-lasting influence of an antibiotic-altered neonatal microbiota, and the frequent clinical sequelae in survivors of invasive GBS infection, compels alternative treatment options for GBS. Here, we examined the role of transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1\u03b1), widely recognized as a regulator of immune activation during infection, in the host response to GBS. Given the importance of endogenous HIF-1\u03b1 for innate immune defense, and the potential utility of HIF-1\u03b1 stabilization in promoting bacterial clearance, we hypothesized that HIF-1\u03b1 could play an important role in coordinating host responses to GBS in colonization and systemic disease. Counter to our hypothesis, we found that GBS infection did not induce HIF-1\u03b1 expression in vaginal epithelial cells or murine macrophages, nor did HIF-1\u03b1 deficiency alter GBS colonization or pathogenesis in vivo. Furthermore, pharmacological enhancement of HIF-1\u03b1 did not improve control of GBS in pathogenesis and colonization models, while displaying inhibitory effects in vaginal epithelial cytokines and immune cell killing in vitro. Taken together, we conclude that HIF-1\u03b1 is not a prominent aspect of the host response to GBS colonization or invasive disease, and its pharmacological modulation is unlikely to provide significant benefit against this important neonatal pathogen.
