Inducible expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) as a tool for studying HIF-1alpha-dependent gene regulation during normoxia in vitro.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anticatabolic properties and to be protective in animal models of OA. This study was aimed t...
