Xanthine oxidase mediates hypoxia-inducible factor-2α degradation by intermittent hypoxia.

Sleep-disordered breathing with recurrent apnea produces chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH). We previously reported that IH leads to down-regulation of HIF-2α protein via a calpain-dependent signaling pathway resulting in oxidative stress. In the present study, we delineated the signaling pathways as...
