Loss of von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (VHL) or hypoxia results in nuclear relocalization of PDCD5 and subsequent mouse double minute 2 homolog (Mdm2) degradation. Thus, VHL may involved in the PDCD5 mediated apoptosis and autophagy after MCAO. In the present study, using PDCD5 knockout (PDCD5-!-) mice, we aimed to demonstrate that knockout of PDCD5 gene could protect the brain from ischemic injury by inhibiting the PDCD5-VHL pathway. 24 h post MCAO surgery, PDCD5 gene knockout mice presented obvious improved brain blood flow, improved neurological behavior and decreased cerebral infarction compared with wild type mice. The levels of apoptotic and autophagic proteins were increased both in wild type and PDCD5 knockout mice, whereas they were more pronounced in the wild type mice. We observed decrease in the expression of VHL in wild type mice after MCAO. Reduced expression of VHL may result in increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha(HIF-1 alpha) and (BCL2/adenovirus El B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3) BNIP3. However, mice lacking PDCD5 had no changes in the expression of VHL and have slighter increases in the expression of HIF-1 alpha and BNIP3, suggesting that PDCD5 may regulate apoptosis and autophagy through VHL-HIF-1 alpha-BNIP3 pathway.
