ABSTRACT
The correlation between hypoxia and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been universally acknowledged for decades in the academic world. The phenotypic modulation of corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells (CCSMCs) is regarded as one of the factors of hypoxia-induced ED, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recent researches show some correlation between autophagy and phenotypic modulation of CCSMCs, which may be associated with the overexpressions of PDGF, TGF-β, and vasoactive factors in the organism following hypoxia.
