Overall, we found that hypoxia and the hypoxia mimetic agent L-mimosine can stimulate angiopoietin-like 4 production in monolayer cultures of PDLF. This increase depends on HIF-1 activity. Future studies will reveal how the modulation of angiopoietin-like 4 in the periodontium contributes to periodontal disease and regeneration.
