Roles for HIF-1α in neural stem cell function and the regenerative response to stroke
چکیده انگلیسی

Stroke represents a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, with few therapeutic options available for improving behavioral recovery. Identification of endogenous neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) that are capable of promoting reparative responses following brain injury and stroke make these cells attractive therapeutic targets for stimulating cell replacement and neuronal plasticity. Interest in the mechanisms that support NSPC survival and replenishment of damaged cells within the ischemic brain has led to elucidation of new roles for hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in NSPC function. HIF-1α is a well-studied mediator of adaptive cellular responses to hypoxia through direct transcriptional regulation of cellular metabolism and angiogenesis. Recent evidence also indicates novel roles for HIF-1α in stem cell differentiation through modulation of Notch and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. In this review, we will explore the hypothesis that HIF-1α represents an important mediator of NSPC function under both non-pathological conditions and stroke; and plays a central role in the regulation of NSPC response to hypoxia, metabolism and maintenance of the vascular environment of the neural stem cell niche.


► HIF-1α stabilization in adult NSPCs under non-pathological and hypoxic conditions.
► Maintenance of NSPC metabolic phenotype and ability to withstand sudden onset hypoxia.
► Vasculotrophic and neurotrophic support by NSPC-HIF-1α regulated VEGF release.
► HIF-1α regulation of NSPC lineage fate by Notch1 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
