Sustained Hypoxia Suppresses Joint Destruction in a Rat Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis via Negative Feedback of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α

Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). HIF-1α, which is expressed in hypoxia, is reversely suppressed in sustained hypoxia. Here, we investigated the inhibitory effect of hypoxia on arthritis by controlling HIF-1α. Rheumatoid fibroblas...
