Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerotic lesions contain hypoxic areas, but the pathophysiological importance of hypoxia is unknown. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key transcription factor in cellular responses to hypoxia. We investigated the hypothesis that HIF-1α has effects on macrophage biology that promotes atherogenesis in mice. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Studies with molecular probes, immunostaining, and laser...
