The present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition for treating Alzheimer's disease and use thereof, the pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, stem cells (SC) having high adaptability under hypoxic conditions. Particularly, the present disclosure discloses a pharmaceutical composition for alleviating or treating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, the pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) which have high adaptability or viability in hypoxic environments and comprise one or more knock-out HIF1AN genes.

The present application relates to cells having high adaptability under hypoxic conditions and to a preparation method therefor. Particularly, the present disclosure provides cells having high adaptability under hypoxic conditions, the cells including at least one engineered gene having an indel within a wild-type gene selected from the group consisting of HIF1AN, HIF3A, PHD2, TLR4 and PAI1. In addition, the present disclosure provides, as a method for preparing cells having high adaptability under hypoxic conditions, a gene editing method including introducing a CRISPR/Cas9 system into cells.

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds, methods, and compositions capable of inhibiting HIF hydroxylase enzyme activity, thereby increasing the stability and/or activity of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). ##STR00001##
