Hypoxia-inducible factor regulates osteoclast-mediated bone resorption: role of angiopoietin-like 4 Helen J. Knowles,*,1 Anne-Marie Cleton-Jansen,† Eberhard Korsching,‡ and Nicholas A.

To determine how HIF might coordinate osteoclast and osteoblast function, we studied angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), the top HIF target gene in an Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 48k array of normoxic vs. hypoxic osteoclasts differentiated from human CD14ⴙ monocytes (14.3-fold induction, P
