Oxygen and the regulation of gene expression in wounds

Jorge E Albina et al. Wound Repair Regen. 2003 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Work from Tom Hunt's laboratory first identified wound hypoxia as a potential regulator of the biology of cells participating in tissue repair. Current understanding of the role of oxygen in the regulation of gene expression begins to provide a mechanistic basis for the prediction that oxygen could be a fundamental regulator of wound healing made by the Hunt laboratory. The present article describes the experience of the authors' laboratory in defining the expression of two oxygen-regulated genes, those for the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase and for arginase I in experimental wounds. Observations made regarding these two genes are discussed in the context of the overall regulatory role of oxygen as a phenotypic modulator of inflammatory cells.
