HIF-dependent regulation of profibrotic growth factors in hypoxic Kupffer cells. Kupffer cells were isolated from HIF-1β-Control and HIF-1β-Deficient mice and exposed to room air or 1% oxygen. Sixteen hours later, PDGF-B, CTGF, and TGF-β mRNA levels were quantified by real-time PCR. aSignificantly different from Kupffer cells exposed to room air (p<0.05). bSignificantly different from Kupffer cells isolated from HIF-1β-Deficient mice and subjected to 1% oxygen (p<0.05). Data are expressed as means ± SEM; n = 3.
