	Fig. 8. Stepwise model integrating redox state activities during regeneration. Instantaneous injury-induced O2 influx fuels ROS production and together tune a permissive pO2 microenvironment—hypoxia—for HIF-1α stabilization. Early time-window up to 6 hpa is focused, because is when the magnitude of O2 influx correlates with regeneration and when required ROS and HIF-1α activities occur. ROS per se do not feedback with the magnitude of O2 influx. ROS do not directly stabilize HIF-1α but do so indirectly by regulating hypoxia in the bud owing to local O2 consumption and O2 influx demand (Supplementary Fig. 19). We infer that intracellular HSP90 is at least partially required for early hypoxia-induced stabilization of HIF-1α, resulting in the secretion of eHSP90α. 6 hpa is also the time-point of the hallmark JI reversal, an accurate predictor of regeneration efficiency that mediates redox-modulated regeneration. HIF-1α regulates JI reversal, pointing to an integration of HIF-1α with the bioelectric state, in series or in parallel with ROS. Mechanistically, HIF-1α modulates regeneration via HSP90/eHSP90α and JI reversal presumptive effect on cell migration migration to form the wound epithelium and/or regeneration bud. iHSP90: intracellular HSP90; eHSP90α: extracellular HSP90α.
