Abstract
In this project, we aim to evaluate the interaction of the Hypoxia inducible-factor 1a transcription factor (HIF-1a) and the long noncoding RNA HIF1A-AS3 and its role in glycolytic metabolism in macrophages infected with Leishmania infantum. We hypothesized that infection with L. infantum changes the oxygen supply and induces the gene expression of HIF-1± and the lncRNA encoded in the ant…
