Repetitive Hypoxic Preconditioning Attenuates Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Induced Oxidative Injury via Upregulating HIF-1α–Dependent bcl-2 Signaling

Abstract

RHP activates an HIF-1 alpha-dependent signaling cascade leading to an increase in Bcl-2 protein expression, an inhibition in cytosolic Bax and mitochondrial cytochrome c translocation, and a hypoxic/ischemia tolerance against renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
