Tolerance to cerebral ischemia is achieved by preconditioning sublethal stresses, such as ischemia or hypoxia, paradigms in which the decrease of 0, availability may constitute an early signal inducing tolerance. In accordance with this concept, this study shows that hypoxia induces tolerance against focal permanent ischemia in adult mice. Normobaric hypoxia (8% O-2 of 1-hour, 3-hour, or 6-hour duration), performed 24 hours before ischemia, reduces infarct volume by approximately 30% when compared with controls. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this neuroprotection, the authors investigated the effects of preconditioning on cerebral expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and its target genes, erythropoietin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Hypoxia, whatever its duration (1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours), rapidly increases the nuclear content of HIF-1alpha as well as the mRNA levels of erythropoietin and VEGF. Furthermore, erythropoietin and VEGF are upregulated at the protein level 24 hours after 6 hours of hypoxia. The authors' findings show that (1) hypoxia elicits a delayed, short-lasting (
