Abstract Introduction Chondrocytes have to withstand considerable hypoxic conditions within the avascular articular cartilage. The present study investigated the effects of inhibiting or stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor HIF -1a by 2-methoxyestradiol or dimethyloxaloylglycine on the progression of osteoarthritis in murine knee joints. Methods 2-Methoxyestradiol was injected six times over a period of 2 weeks into the left knee joint of Balb C mice. Joints were assessed by histochemical and immunohistochemical methods 3 weeks and 12 weeks following the first injection. Dimethyloxaloylglycine an inhibitor .
