Abstract

Murine heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) protein, which is produced from 2 genes, hsp70.1 and hsp70.3, is known to protect the brain against ischemic injury. However, little information is available on the antiapoptotic mechanism of HSP70.1 protein after cerebral ischemia. To evaluate the role of HSP70.1 protein in ischemia, we analyzed the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway using hsp70.1 knockout (KO) mice and their wild-type (WT) mice. hsp70.1 KO and WT mice underwent focal ischemia for 120 minutes. DNA fragmentation was evaluated by TUNEL staining. Cytochrome c release and the activation of caspase-3 were analyzed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. hsp70.1 mRNA was not detected in hsp70.1 KO mice after ischemia, and HSP70 protein expression was markedly suppressed versus WT mice. KO mice showed a significantly greater infarction volume and DNA fragmentation in the cortex than WT mice at 24 hours after ischemia. At 8 hours, cytochrome c release into the cytoplasm was markedly higher in KO mice than in WT mice. Caspase-3 activation was also significantly enhanced in KO mice versus WT mice, as evidenced by higher levels of activated caspase-3 and cleaved gelsolin. These findings suggest that the deletion of the hsp70.1 gene...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
