Hypoxia Exacerbates Periapical Periodontitis‐Associated Pathological Bone Loss via the Hypoxia‐Inducible Factor‐2α‐Calmodulin‐Dependent Protein Kinase IV Axis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Hypoxia exposure activates HIF‐2α, which binds to the Camk4 promoter to enhance RANKL‐mediated osteoclast differentiation, leading to aggravated alveolar bone resorption in periapical periodontitis. ABSTRACT Periapical periodontitis is one of the most common inflammatory bone destructive diseases. Epidemiological evidence suggests that hypoxia exposure,
