Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Environmental and genetic factors are jointly involved in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The EGLN1 gene is a major factor in upstream regulation of the hypoxia-inducible pathway. EGLN1 negatively regulates the hypoxia-inducible factors HIF-lα and HIF-2α by regulating the concentration of oxygen, mainly in a hypoxic environment. Hypoxia is a common physiologic...
