Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Organism in the hypoxic state can produce hypoxia-inducible factor, but nitric oxide generated from inducible nitric oxide synthase can inhibit the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α.
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the relationship of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and inducible nitric oxide synthase with hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in neural stem cells.
METHODS: Under sterile conditions, Wistar rats born within 24 hours were sacrificed to separate the rat hippocampus that was used to prepare a cell suspension of brain tissue. After culture and passage, neural stem cells were divided into normoxia, hypoxia and hypoxia/reoxygenation groups. In the latter two groups, 150 μmol/L cobalt chloride solution was used to prepare hypoxia models, and in the hypoxia/reoxygenation group, the cells were reoxygenated after 4-hour hypoxia.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Under hypoxic conditions, a significant increase in mRNA expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and inducible nitric oxide synthase as well as the number of apoptotic neural stem cells. Compared with the hypoxia group, the number of apoptotic neural stem cells was higher in the hypoxia/reoxygenation group, but the mRNA expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and inducible nitric oxide synthase were lower. These findings indicate that these two factors are involved in the hypoxia/reoxygenation injury of neural stem cells.
