Hypoxia-inducibIe factor-1(HIF-1)is a main nucIear transcription factor for response to intratumor hypoxia. RecentIy,it has become a hot spot to attempt to improve hypoxia by inhibiting HIF-1. HIF-1 inhibitors' mechanisms of action are wide,which infIuences the two signaI transduction pathways that are phosphatidyIinositoI-3-kinase/ protein kinase B/ mammaIian target of rapamycin and Ras/ Raf/ mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase1-2/ extraceIIuIar signaI-reguIated kinase1-2,inhibits the function of heat shock protein 90,and reduces transcriptionaI activity of HIF-1. In combination with radiation,HIF-1 inhibi-tors significantIy enhance radiosensitivity and weaken radioresistance of hypoxia ceIIs,which contributes to the therapeutic effect of tumor irradiation.

The local microenvironment is essential to stem cell-based therapy for ischemic stroke, and spatiotemporal changes of the microenvironment in the pathological process provide vital clues for understanding the therapeutic mechanisms. However, relevant studies on microenvironmental changes were mainly confined in the acute phase of stroke, and long-term changes remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the microenvironmental changes in the subacute and chronic phases of ischemic stroke after stem cell transplantation. Herein, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and neural stem cells (NSCs) were transplanted into the ischemic brain established by middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery. Positron emission tomography imaging and neurological tests were applied to evaluate the metabolic and neurofunctional alterations of rats transplanted with stem cells. Quantitative proteomics was employed to investigate the protein expression profiles in iPSCs-transplanted brain in the subacute and chronic phases of stroke. Compared with NSCs-transplanted rats, significantly increased glucose metabolism and neurofunctional scores were observed in iPSCs-transplanted rats. Subsequent proteomic data of iPSCs-transplanted rats identified a total of 39 differentially expressed proteins in the subacute and chronic phases, which are involved in various ischemic stroke-related biological processes, including neuronal survival, axonal remodeling, antioxidative stress, and mitochondrial function restoration. Taken together, our study indicated that iPSCs have a positive therapeutic effect in ischemic stroke and emphasized the wide-ranging microenvironmental changes in the subacute and chronic phases.
