DEX inhibited autophagy following OGD related with upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in neurons. (A) HIF-1α was significantly up-regulated after DEX treatment following OGD. (B) The immunoblotting results suggested the autophagy inhibition of DEX was reversed by 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) following OGD. *,#,@P < 0.05, compared with Control, OGD, OGD+DEX, respectively.
