HIF-1α inhibition reduces nasal inflammation in a murine allergic rhinitis model.

BACKGROUND: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is an important regulator of immune and inflammatory responses. We hypothesized that nasal allergic inflammation is attenuated by HIF-1α inhibition and strengthened by HIF-1α stabilization. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the role of HIF-1α in a murine model...
