Hypoxia induces mucin expression and secretion in human bronchial epithelial cells.

Abstract excerpt

The study objective was to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) in the transcriptional activation of MUC5AC in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) 16 cells under hypoxia conditions and the effect of hypoxia on expression and secretion of MUC5AC. Cells were incubated in hypoxia medium. Serial deletions or mutations of the MUC5AC promoter were cloned in the reporter pGL3-basic plasmid (Promega...
