Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α in Macrophages, but Not in Neutrophils, Is Important for Host Defense during Klebsiella pneumoniae-Induced Pneumosepsis by Natasja A. Otto, Liza Pereverzeva, Valentine Leopold, Ivan Ramirez-Moral, Joris J. T. H. Roelofs, Jeroen W. J. van Heijst, Alex F. de Vos, Tom van der Poll

“…Alveolar and lung interstitial macrophages from LysM-cre × Hif1αfl/fl mice produced lower amounts of the immune enhancing cytokine tumor necrosis factor upon stimulation with Klebsiella, while their capacity to phagocytose or to produce reactive oxygen species was unaltered. Alveolar macrophages did not upregulate glycolysis in response to lipopolysaccharide, irrespective of HIF1α presence. …”
