Gene regulation in the adaptive process to hypoxia in lung epithelial cells

Abstract excerpt

Lung alveolar epithelial cells are normally very well oxygenated but may be exposed to hypoxia in many pathological conditions such as pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, or in some environmental conditions such ascent to high altitude. The ability of alveolar epithelial cells to cope with low oxygen tensions is crucial to maintain the structural and...
