Abstract

Erythropoietin (EPO), known for its role in erythroid differentiation, has been suggested to have non-hematopoietic functions in the brain, especially during development. In the present study, we investigated the expression of erythropoietin and erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) in the developing rat brain following hypoxia-ischemia. Seven-day-old rats underwent unilateral, permanent carotid artery ligation followed by 1 h of hypoxia, and their brains were examined immediately, 24 h or 4 days after hypoxia-ischemia. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that hypoxia-ischemia only marginally affected EPO expression. Immunohistochemical study of brains 4 days after hypoxia showed that 60 min of hypoxia (resulting in cortical infarction and severe neuronal loss in other regions) led to the increased EPO immunoreactivity, especially in the boundaries of the damaged cerebral cortex, associated with astrocytosis. In contrast, EPOR was dramatically upregulated within 24 h after hypoxia-ischemia. These results suggest that there is a rapid response of EPOR to the hypoxic-ischemic stimulus, which seems to precede that of EPO, leading to the hypothesis that the EPO/EPOR system is implicated in the processes of neuroprotection from hypox...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.

Astrocytes in Repair & Regeneration

Astrocytes are glial cells found within the CNS and are able to regenerate new neurons. They become activated during CNS injury and disease. The activation leads to the transcription of new genes and the repair and regeneration of neurons. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in repair and regeneration here.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
