RCAN1.1 is a novel target gene of HIF1α and the functional HRE in the RCAN1.1 promoter region is -325 to -322 bp. The marked upregulation of RCAN1.1 in AIS promoted neuronal apoptosis, an effect that could be reversed by its RNA aptamer R1SR13 in vivo and in vitro. Thus, R1SR13 represents a promising strategy for neuroprotection in AIS and our study lays a theoretical foundation for it to become a clinically targeted drug.
