Effects of Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species on HIF-1α Stabilization Following Clostridium Difficile Toxin Exposure of the Caco-2 Epithelial Cell Line

Effects of Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species on HIF-1α Stabilization Following Clostridium Difficile Toxin Exposure of the Caco-2 Epithelial Cell Line

Background/Aims: Stabilization of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) is proposed to provide a protective host-response to C. difficile intoxication. Here, we aimed to elucidate whether nitric oxide and/or reactive oxygen species produced during C. difficile toxin exposure could influence HIF-1α s...
