Metabolic dysfunction mediated by HIF-1α contributes to epithelial differentiation defects in eosinophilic esophagitis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Investigating the contributory role that epithelial cell metabolism plays in allergic inflammation is a key factor to understanding what influences dysfunction and the pathogenesis of the allergic disease eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We previously highlighted that the absence of hypoxia signaling through hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in EoE contributes to esophageal epithelial dysfunction....
