A New Paradigm for GERD Pathogenesis: Not Acid Injury, But Cytokine-Mediated Inflammation Driven by HIF-2α: A Potential Role for Targeting HIF-2α to Prevent and Treat Reflux Esophagitis

Traditionally, reflux esophagitis was assumed to develop as a caustic, chemical injury inflicted by refluxed acid. Recently, however, studies in rats and humans suggest that reflux esophagitis develops as a cytokine-mediated inflammatory injury, with hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2α playing a major...
