Leukocyte adhesion during hypoxia is mediated by HIF-1-dependent induction of β <sub>2</sub> integrin gene expression
2 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory responses are associated with significant changes in tissue metabolism. In particular, metabolic shifts during inflammation can result in significant tissue hypoxia, with resultant induction of hypoxia-responsive genes. Given this association, we hypothesized that leukocyte functional responses are influenced by hypoxia. Initial experiments revealed that exposure of the promonocytic cell line U937 to...
