摘　　要：OBJECTIVE Stroke has become the top ten leading cause of death in China.Isch⁃emic stroke accounts for 85%of stroke cases,and insufficiency of cerebral blood supply caused by atherosclerosis is one of the important causes of ischemic stroke.Therefore,it is of posi⁃tive significance to study the molecular mecha⁃nism of stroke injury caused by hypoperfusion in the search for drug targets.Voltage-dependent potassium channels are a family of potassium channels widely expressed in the central ner⁃vous system.However,their roles in neurogene⁃sis after stroke insults have not been clearly illus⁃trated.The purpose of this experiment is to explore the expression changes of different sub⁃families of voltage-dependent potassium chan⁃nels after the occurrence of ischemic stroke and their influence on neuroregeneration,to study the molecular mechanism of stroke injury caused by hypoperfusion,and to find potential targets for drug therapy of ischemic stroke.METHODS C57BL/6 mice aged 7-8 weeks and C17.2 cells were used in vivo and in vitro in the experiment.The mice in the experimental group were suf⁃fered from bilateral common carotid artery occlu⁃sion(BCCO)for 1 h and reperfusion for 7 d.In the control group,bilateral carotid artery was dis⁃sected without occlusion.Behavioral assay of suspension test were performed to assess the motor deficits of the mice.In this assay,the time of the first drop(latency),the number of drops within one minute(frequency),and the final scores were recorded as the results of athletic ability.A lower score indicated more severe motor damage of the mice.TTC staining was used to observe the cerebral infarction areas caused by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries.After seven days,mice were sacrificed and brain tissue protein samples were collected for real-time quantitative PCR(RT-PCR)and Western blotting test to detect the changes of potassium channel subfamily expression levels in different brain regions.Neuronal injuries in all brain regions were detected using Nissl
