Abstract excerpt
In the ischemic or hypoxic brain, astrocytes appear to be one of the main sources of erythropoietin (EPO). In this study, we investigated the differential contribution of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) isoforms to the regulation of hypoxic EPO expression in cultured astrocytes. In addition, using an in vitro model of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), we studied the role of HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha in the...
