Hypoxia is a condition in which the whole body or a region of the body is deprived of oxygen supply. The brain is very sensitive to the lack of oxygen and cerebral hypoxia can rapidly cause severe brain damage. Astrocytes are essential for the survival and function of neurons. Therefore, protecting astrocytes against cell death is one of the main therapeutic strategies for treating hypoxia. Hence, the mechanism of hypoxia-induced astrocytic cell death should be fully elucidated. In this study, astrocytes were exposed to hypoxic
