Objective To determine the effects of apolipoprotein E (APOE) on the astrocytes after hypoxic injury. Methods Astrocytes were separated from wild type mice and APOE knockout mice. Hypoxic injury models were established by putting cells in the setting of hypoxia for 6 h. The early apoptosis rate of astrocytes was detected by flow cytometry. The astrocytes from wild type mice were divided into normoxia group
hypoxia group and hypoxia+ERK inhibitor U0126 group. The expression of APOE in the 3 groups of cells was detected by Western blotting. Results The early apoptosis of astrocytes from APOE knockout mice [(5.67±0.35)%] was significantly higher than the cells from the wild type [(2.77±0.24)%
P0.05]. Compared to normoxia group and hypoxia+ERK inhibitor U0126 group
the expression of APOE was highest in hypoxia group. Conclusion APOE exerts a protective effect on hypoxic injury of astrocytes. Hypoxic injury triggers astrocytes to increasingly synthesize APOE
