Research Abstract |
This study was performed to elucidate the role of hypoxia-inducible factors in regulation of immune cell functions and to develop a novel therapeutic approach for inflammatory diseases by targeting the hypoxia-inducible factors. We demonstrated that the expression of HIF-1α was regulated not only by local oxygen tension but also by glucose level and cytokines. Expressed HIF-1α critically contributed to the regulation of the cellular functions. Inhibition of HIF-1 signals in vivo resulted in amelioration of autoimmune arthritis model in mice, indicating that the hypoxia-inducible factors are possible therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases.
