  • HIF-1[alpha]-deficient mice have increased brain injury after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia
    Sheldon, R. Ann ...
    Evidence suggests that the activation of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) may promote cell survival in hypoxic or ischemic brain. To help understand the role of ... HIF-1 alpha in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, mice with conditional neuron-specific inactivation of HIF-1 alpha underwent hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Mice heterozygousfor Cre recombinase under the control of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II promoter were bred with homozygous 'floxed' HIF-1 alpha transgenic mice. The resulting litters produced mice witha forebrain predominant neuronal deletion of HIF-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha(Delta)/(Delta)), as well as littermates without the deletion. In order to verify reduction of HIF-1 alpha at postnatal day 7, HIF-1 alpha(Delta)/(Delta) and wild-type mice were exposed to a hypoxic stimulus (8%oxygen) or room air for 1 h, followed by immediate collection of brain cortices for determination of HIF-1 alpha expression. Results of Western blotting of mouse cortices exposed to hypoxia stimulus or room air confirmed that HIF-1 alpha(Delta)/(Delta) cortex expressed a minimal amount of HIF-1 alpha protein compared to wild-type cortex with the same hypoxic stimulus. Subsequently, pups underwent the Vannucci procedure of HI at postnatal day 7: unilateral ligation of the right common carotid artery followed by 30 min of hypoxia (8% oxygen). Immunofluorescent staining of brains 24 h after HI confirmed a relative lack of HIF-1 alpha in the HIF-1 alpha(Delta)/(Delta) cortex compared to the wild type, and that HIF-1 alpha in the wild type is located in neurons. HIF-1 alpha expression was determined in mouse cortex 24 hafter HI. Histological analysis for the degree of injury was performed 5 daysafter HI. HIF-1 alpha protein expression 24 h after HI showed a large increase of HIF-1 alpha in the hypoxic-ischemic cortex of the wild-type compared to the hypoxic only cortex. (Abs. trunc. at 2000 ch.)
