Popis: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a posttranscriptionally regulated transcription factor, controlling several hypoxia-inducible genes. Here we show a rapid and transient increase of HIF-1 DNA binding activity in a dose dependent manner in primary cortical neurons of rats exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) for 30, 60, 90, or 120 min. A reduced induction of binding activity was observed when neurons were preconditioned by a non-lethal OGD interval (60 min) 48 h prior to the 90 min OGD. Thus, hypoxic preconditioning reduces activation of HIF-1 binding activity. The molecular mechanism of HIF-1 activation, its target genes, and its role in tolerance induction and/or ischemia induced damage remain to be elucidated.
