Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious birth complication with severe long-term sequelae such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and cognitive disabilities. Na+-K+-2Cl(-) cotransporters 1 (NKCC1) is dramatically upregulated after hypoxia-ischemia (HI), which aggravates brain edema and brain damage. Clinically, an NKCC1-specific inhibitor, bumetanide, is used to treat diseases related to aberrant NKCC1 expression, but the underlying mechanism of aberrant NKCC1 expression has rarely been studied in HIE. In this study, the cooperative effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) on NKCC1 expression was explored in hippocampal neurons under hypoxic conditions. HI increased HIF-1 alpha nuclear localization and transcriptional activity, and pharmacological inhibition of the HIF-1 alpha transcription activity or mutation of hypoxia responsive element (HRE) motifs recovered the hypoxia-induced aberrant expression and promoter activity of NKCC1. In contrast, oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced downregulation of NFAT5 expression was reversed by treating with hypertonic saline, which ameliorated aberrant NKCC1 expression. More importantly, knocking down NFAT5 or mutation of the tonicity enhancer element (TonE) stimulated NKCC1 expression and promoter activity under normal physiological conditions. The positive regulation of NKCC1 by HIF-1 alpha and the negative regulation of NKCC1 by NFAT5 may serve to maintain NKCC1 expression levels, which may shed light on the transcription regulation of NKCC1 in hippocampal neurons after hypoxia.
