Low oxygen environments and accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are features of infected and inflamed tissues. Here, we summarize our current knowledge on oxygen levels found in -infected tissues and discuss which mechanisms potentially contribute to local tissue oxygenation in leishmanial lesions. Moreover, we review the role of hypoxia and HIF-1 on innate antileishmanial immune responses.
低氧环境和缺氧诱导因子(HIFs)的积累是感染和炎症组织的特征。在这里,我们总结了目前关于感染组织中氧水平的知识,并讨论了哪些机制可能有助于利什曼病病变中的局部组织氧合。此外,我们还回顾了缺氧和 HIF-1 对先天抗利什曼免疫反应的作用。
