Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a pathophysiological event occuring after abdominal organ transplantation, and has a significant influence on prognosis and survival of the graft. It is involved in delaying the primary function or non-functioning of the graft. The objective of this study was to provide information on heat shock protein mechanisms in ischemia-reperfusion injuries in abdominal organ transplantations, and to indicate the possible factors involved that may influence the graft outcome. Several classes of heat shock proteins are part of the ischemia and reperfusion process, both as inflammatory agonists and in protecting the process. Studies involving heat shock proteins enhance knowledge on ischemia-reperfusion injury mitigation processes and the mechanisms involved in the survival of abdominal grafts, and open space to support therapeutic future clinical studies, minimizing ischemia and reperfusion injuries in abdominal organ transplantations. Expression of heat shock proteins is associated with inflammatory manifestations and ischemia-reperfusion injuries in abdominal organ transplantations and may influence graft outcomes.

J Surg Res 2019; 242:342-348. [PMID: 31132625 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2019.04.074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2019] [Revised: 04/07/2019] [Accepted: 04/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) confers protection against heat shock, oxidative stress, infection, and inflammation in many cell types. A recent study reported that the induction of HSP70 was associated with morphologic protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in the rat small intestine. This study investigated the dynamics of HSP70 in leukocytes during intestinal IRI in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serial blood samples were collected at 60-minute intervals up to 240 min from male Wistar rats (n = 15). The rats were divided into three groups of five each: the control group, the nonlethal IRI group, and the lethal IRI group. Rats belonging to the control group underwent a sham operation, and laparotomy was performed on rats in the lethal and nonlethal IRI groups. The nonlethal group experienced a 30-minute clamping of the superior mesenteric artery, and the lethal group experienced a 75-minute clamping of the superior mesenteric artery. The expression of HSP70 messenger RNA (mRNA) in leukocytes was measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Mixed-effects modeling of repeated measures was used to carry out the statistical analysis. The Bonferroni correction was applied to multiple comparisons. A P value < 0.0167 was considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS The expression of HSP70 mRNA in leukocytes increased 60 min after reperfusion in both IRI groups, and it was 12.8 times higher in the lethal group and 3.6 times higher in the nonlethal group compared with the control group. The expression of mRNA in the lethal group was significantly increased compared with the nonlethal group and the control group at 120 and 180 min after reperfusion. At 120 min after reperfusion, the expression of HSP70 mRNA was 6.1 times higher in the lethal group than in the nonlethal group (P = 0.0075) and 17.7 times higher than in the control group (P = 0.0011). At 180 min after reperfusion, the expression of HSP70 mRNA was 6.8 times higher in the lethal group than in the nonlethal group (P = 0.0007) and 4.3 times higher than in the control group (P = 0.0032). Although the expression of HSP70 mRNA in the nonlethal group was elevated in the early stages of reperfusion, there was no difference between the nonlethal group and the control group (P = 0.0212 at 60 min). CONCLUSIONS The expression of HSP70 mRNA in leukocytes may be a clinically useful indicator for evaluating pathologic conditions in intestinal IRI.

Abstract
Prolonged translation arrest correlates with delayed neuronal death of hippocampal CA1 neurons following global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Many previous studies investigated ribosome molecular biology, but mRNA regulatory mechanisms after brain ischemia have been less studied. Here we investigated the embryonic lethal abnormal vision/Hu isoforms HuR, HuB, HuC, and HuD, as well as expression of mRNAs containing adenine and rich uridine elements following global ischemia in rat brain. Proteomics of embryonic lethal abnormal vision immunoprecipitations or polysomes isolated from rat hippocampal CA1 and CA3 from controls or following 10 min ischemia plus 8 h of reperfusion showed distinct sets of mRNA-binding proteins, suggesting differential mRNA regulation in each condition. Notably, HuB, HuC, and HuD were undetectable in NIC CA1. At 8 h reperfusion, polysome-associated mRNAs contained 46.1% of ischemia-upregulated mRNAs containing adenine and rich uridine elements in CA3, but only 18.7% in CA1. Since mRNAs containing adenine and rich uridine elements regulation are important to several cellular stress responses, our results suggest CA1 is disadvantaged compared to CA3 in coping with ischemic stress, and this is expected to be an important contributing factor to CA1 selective vulnerability.

Abstract
There is growing appreciation that mRNA regulation plays important roles in disease and injury. mRNA regulation and ribonomics occur in brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) following stroke and cardiac arrest and resuscitation. It was recognized over 40 years ago that translation arrest (TA) accompanies brain I/R and is now recognized as part of the intrinsic stress responses triggered in neurons. However, neuron death correlates to a prolonged TA in cells fated to undergo delayed neuronal death (DND). Dysfunction of mRNA regulatory processes in cells fated to DND prevents them from translating stress-induced mRNAs such as heat shock proteins. The morphological and biochemical studies of mRNA regulation in postischemic neurons are discussed in the context of the large variety of molecular damage induced by ischemic injury. Open issues and areas of future investigation are highlighted. A sober look at the molecular complexity of ischemia-induced neuronal injury suggests that a network framework will assist in making sense of this complexity. The ribonomic network sits between the gene network and the various protein and metabolic networks. Thus, targeting the ribonomic network may prove more effective at neuroprotection than targeting specific molecular pathways, for which all efforts have failed to the present time to stop DND in stroke and after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Lasting memories are likely to result from a lasting change in neurotransmission. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, spaced training with a tap stimulus induces habituation to the tap that lasts for >24 h and is dependent on glutamate transmission, postsynaptic AMPA receptors, and CREB. Here we describe a distinct, presynaptic mechanism for a shorter lasting memory for tap habituation induced by massed training. We report that a FMRFamide-related peptide (FMRF = Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH(2)), FLP-20, is critical for memory lasting 12 h following massed training, but is not required for other forms of memory. Massed training correlated with a flp-20-dependent increase in synaptobrevin tagged with green fluorescent protein in the presynaptic terminals of the PLM mechanosensory neurons that followed the timeline of the memory trace. We also demonstrated that flp-20 is required specifically in the mechanosensory neurons for memory 12 h after massed training. These findings show that within the same species and form of learning, memory is induced by distinct mechanisms to create a lasting alteration in neurotransmission that is dependent upon the temporal pattern of training: memory of spaced training results from postsynaptic changes in the interneurons of the neural circuit, whereas memory of massed training results from presynaptic changes in the mechanosensory neurons of the neural circuit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia can occur from mesenteric artery (MA) occlusion and portal vein (PV) occlusion. The degree and mechanisms of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in these conditions may differ. Metabolic changes are seen early in I/R. This study compares tissue histology, inflammation, and metabolic response during small bowel I/R due to superior MA or PV occlusion. METHODS Anesthetized male Wistar rats (250-300 g) underwent laparotomy followed by MA or PV occlusion for 40 min. After 120 min of reperfusion, small bowel tissue was collected. The expression of heat shock protein (HSP)-32 and HSP70 was evaluated to compare physiological stress responses between groups. Metabolic profiles were obtained using (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)-based quantitative metabolomics. Histological injury of small bowel was graded from 0 (normal) to 4 (extensive ischemic damage). RESULTS Protein expression of HSP32 and HSP70 increased when compared to sham but was not different in the MA I/R and PV I/R groups. Metabolic profiles demonstrated decreased glucose levels and highly elevated tissue lactate and amino acids and fatty acids following I/R, with more pronounced changes with PV occlusion. Lipid peroxidation was equally increased in both groups, while depletion of reduced glutathione (GSH) was more severe with MA occlusion. The epithelial necrosis score was higher with MA (3.5 ± 0.6) than with PV occlusion (2.3 ± 0.8). CONCLUSIONS Histological injury of the intestine is less pronounced following PV occlusion, most likely due to higher oxygen and substrate availability during I/R by PV occlusion. This conclusion is supported by a more pronounced metabolic synthetic response (increased glycolysis and fatty acid and amino acid accumulation) with PV occlusion, while oxidative stress was higher with MA occlusion. The inflammatory response showed little difference between the groups.

Abstract
Although persistent translation arrest correlates with the selective vulnerability of post-ischemic hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (Ammon's horn) (CA1) neurons, the mechanism of persistent translation arrest is not fully understood. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence histochemistry, we studied colocalization of polyadenylated mRNAs [poly(A)] with the following mRNA binding factors: eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4G (translation initiation factor), HuR (ARE-containing mRNA stabilizing protein), poly-adenylated mRNA binding protein (PABP), S6 (small ribosomal subunit marker), T cell internal antigen (TIA-1) (stress granule marker), and tristetraprolin (TTP) (processing body marker). We compared staining in vulnerable CA1 and resistant CA3 from 1 to 48 h reperfusion, following 10 min global ischemia in the rat. In both CA1 and CA3 neurons, cytoplasmic poly(A) mRNAs redistributed from a homogenous staining pattern seen in controls to granular structures we term mRNA granules. The mRNA granules abated after 16 h reperfusion in CA3, but persisted in CA1 neurons to 48 h reperfusion. Protein synthesis inhibition correlated precisely with the presence of the mRNA granules. In both CA1 and CA3, the mRNA granules colocalized with eIF4G and PABP, but not S6, TIA-1 or TTP, indicating that they were neither stress granules nor processing bodies. Colocalization of HuR in the mRNA granules correlated with translation of 70 kDa inducible heat shock protein, which occurred early in CA3 (8 h) and was delayed in CA1 (36 h). Thus, differential compartmentalization of mRNA away from the 40S subunit correlated with translation arrest in post-ischemic neurons, providing a concise mechanism of persistent translation arrest in post-ischemic CA1.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury triggers multiple and distinct but overlapping cell signaling pathways, which may lead to cell survival or cell damage. There is overwhelming evidence to suggest that besides necrosis, apoptosis do contributes significantly to the cell death subsequent to I/R injury. Both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways play a vital role, and upon initiation, these pathways recruit downstream apoptotic molecules to execute cell death. Caspases and Bcl-2 family members appear to be crucial in regulating multiple apoptotic cell death pathways initiated during I/R. Similarly, inhibitor of apoptosis family of proteins (IAPs), mitogen-activated protein kinases, and newly identified apoptogenic molecules, like second mitochondrial-activated factor/direct IAP-binding protein with low pI (Smac/Diablo), omi/high-temperature requirement serine protease A2 (Omi/HtrA2), X-linked mammalian inhibitor of apoptosis protein-associated factor 1, and apoptosis-inducing factor, have emerged as potent regulators of cellular apoptotic/antiapoptotic machinery. All instances of cell survival/death mechanisms triggered during I/R are multifaceted and interlinked, which ultimately decide the fate of brain cells. Moreover, apoptotic cross-talk between major subcellular organelles suggests that therapeutic strategies should be optimally directed at multiple targets/mechanisms for better therapeutic outcome. Based on the current knowledge, this review briefly focuses I/R injury-induced multiple mechanisms of apoptosis, involving key apoptotic regulators and their emerging roles in orchestrating cell death programme. In addition, we have also highlighted the role of autophagy in modulating cell survival/death during cerebral ischemia. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to provide an encouraging outlook on emerging therapeutic approaches for cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
In the present work we have investigated levels of stress-70 proteins in the gills of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis collected seasonally from subtidal rocky shores at 6 different sites of the Rovinj coastal area (Northern Adriatic, Croatia). 1-D analysis (SDS-PAGE) using monoclonal mouse antibodies anti-HSP70 detected two bands of stress-70 proteins, 70 and 72 kDa constitutively present during the year. 2-D analysis (IEF+SDS-PAGE) proved that the antibodies used detected HSP70 (pI 5.7-5.9) and HSP72 (pI 5.5-5.6). The quantification of stress-70 proteins was possible using 200 ng of external HSP70 protein standard included on every blot. Maximal levels of HSP72 and HSP70 were observed in mussels in summer (September), and minimal levels in winter (December), and only HSP70 showed significant correlation with the sea temperature (r=+0.822, p<0.05). Acclimatization of mussels to a different lower salinity under experimental conditions proved that small changes in sea salinity (Delta=2 psu) could not cause significant stress-70 proteins induction. Results indicated that there are significant differences in HSP70 and HSP72 content in mussels from the control site (S-1) and mussels from other sampling sites with urban and industrial pollution. The usefulness of stress-70 proteins as biomarkers of environmental pollution is discussed.

Abstract
Diffuse brain injury (DBI) is a consequence of traumatic brain injury evoked via rapid acceleration-deceleration of the cranium, giving rise to subtle pathological changes appreciated best at the microscopic level. DBI is believed to be comprised by diffuse axonal injury and other forms of diffuse vascular change. The potential, however, that the same forces can also directly injure neuronal somata in vivo has not been considered. Recently, while investigating DBI-mediated perisomatic axonal injury, we identified scattered, rapid neuronal somatic necrosis occurring within the same domains. Moving on the premise that these cells sustained direct somatic injury as a result of DBI, we initiated the current study, in which rats were intracerebroventricularly infused with various high-molecular weight tracers (HMWTs) to identify injury-induced neuronal somatic plasmalemmal disruption. These studies revealed that DBI caused immediate, scattered neuronal somatic plasmalemmal injury to all of the extracellular HMWTs used. Through this approach, a spectrum of neuronal change was observed, ranging from rapid necrosis of the tracer-laden neurons to little or no pathological change at the light and electron microscopic level. Parallel double and triple studies using markers of neuronal degeneration, stress, and axonal injury identified additional injured neuronal phenotypes arising in close proximity to, but independent of, neurons demonstrating plasmalemmal disruption. These findings reveal that direct neuronal somatic injury is a component of DBI, and diffuse trauma elicits a heretofore-unrecognized multifaceted neuronal pathological change within the CNS, generating heterogeneous injury and reactive alteration within both axons and neuronal somata in the same domains.

Abstract
In response to cerebral ischemia, neurons activate survival/repair pathways in addition to death cascades. Activation of cyclic AMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) is linked to neuroprotection in experimental animal models of stroke. However, a role of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MAPK/ERK or MEK), an upstream kinase for CREB, and its relation to CREB phosphorylation in neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia has not been delineated. Previously, we reported that N-acetyl-O-methyldopamine (NAMDA) significantly protected CA1 neurons after transient forebrain ischemia [J Neurosci 19 (1999b) 87.8]. The current study is to investigate whether NAMDA-induced neuroprotection occurs via the activation of ERK and its downstream effector, CREB. NAMDA induced ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation with increased survival of HC2S2 hippocampal neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation. These effects were reversed by U0126, a MEK kinase inhibitor. Similarly, animals treated with NAMDA following ischemia showed increased ERK and CREB phosphorylation in the CA1 subregion of the hippocampus during early reperfusion period with increased number of surviving neurons examined 7 days following ischemia. The NAMDA-induced neuroprotection was abolished by U0126 administered shortly after reperfusion. The results showed that the ERK-CREB signaling pathway might be involved in NAMDA-induced neuroprotection following transient global ischemia and imply that the activation of the pathway in neurons may be an effective therapeutic strategy to treat stroke or other neurological syndromes.

Abstract
The intrahippocampal administration of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) induces epileptic seizures and neurodegeneration, due probably to stimulation of glutamate release from synaptic terminals. We have studied the time course of the neurodegenerative changes produced by 4-AP, perfused through microdialysis cannulas in rat hippocampus, and correlated them with the expression of the inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), detected immunocytochemically. Electroencephalographic seizure activity appeared immediately after the beginning of 4-AP perfusion. The first signs of histological neuronal damage were observed in CA1 and CA3 subfields of the perfused hippocampus 3 h after treatment and progressed until reaching a maximal neuronal loss at 24 h. In 4-AP-treated rats HSP70 was expressed mainly in neurons of the contralateral hippocampus, with a time course and cellular distribution very similar to the neurodegeneration observed in the perfused hippocampus, but no neuronal damage was observed. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists MK-801 and (3-phosphonopropyl)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid prevented the seizures, the neurodegeneration and the expression of HSP70. These data demonstrate that the 4-AP-induced release of endogenous glutamate overactivates NMDA receptors in the perfused hippocampus and that the resulting neuronal hyperexcitability propagates to the contralateral hippocampus, generating a glutamate-mediated neuronal stress sufficient to induce the expression of HSP70 but not to produce neurodegeneration. These findings provide a useful model for investigating the relationships between neuronal hyperexcitation, neurodegeneration and the role of HSP expression.

Abstract
The authors studied the differences between heat-shock/stress protein 70 (hsp70) gene expression and protein synthesis in the unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) microsurgical direct occlusion (Tamura's) model and the unilateral intraluminal occlusion model. In Tamura's model, expression of hsp70 mRNA and HSP70 protein and decreased protein synthesis were detected in the ischemic areas, including the ipsilateral cortex and caudate. These phenomena, however, were not observed in the areas outside the MCA territory, including the ipsilateral thalamus, hippocampus, and substantia nigra. These results were consistent among the experimental rats. In the intraluminal occlusion model, however, induction of both hsp70 mRNA and HSP70 protein and impairment of protein synthesis were noted in the areas outside the MCA territory, including the ipsilateral thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and substantia nigra, as well as in the MCA territory, including the ipsilateral cortex and caudate. These results were not consistent among the experimental rats. These different results might be due to widespread damage resulting from internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion in the intraluminal occlusion model. Accordingly, the authors suggest that this model be called an ICA occlusion model, rather than a pure MCA occlusion model.

Abstract
The current study determined whether short durations of ischemia that produce ischemia-induced tolerance stimulate glial proliferation in brain. Adult male gerbils were injected with BrdU (50 mg/kg) and dividing cells were detected using immunocytochemistry after sham operations, 2.5 or 5 minutes of global ischemia, or ischemia-induced tolerance. The 2.5-minute ischemia and the ischemia-induced tolerance did not kill hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, whereas the 5-minute ischemia did kill the neurons. At 4 days after 2.5-minute global ischemia, when cell proliferation was maximal, BrdU-labeled cells increased in striatum and in neocortex, but not in hippocampus. The majority of the BrdU-labeled cells were double-labeled with isolectin B4, showing that these dividing cells were primarily microglia or macrophages, or both. Similarly, BrdU-labeled microglia/macrophages were found in striatum and neocortex but not in hippocampus of most animals 4 days after ischemia-induced tolerance (2.5 minutes of global ischemia followed 3 days later by 5 minutes of global ischemia). No detectable neuronal cell death existed in striatal and cortical regions where the microglia/macrophage proliferation occurred. Though 3 of 7 animals subjected to 2.5 minutes of ischemia showed decreased myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) immunostaining and increased numbers of adenomatous polyposis coli-stained oligodendrocytes in lateral striatum, this did not explain the microglia/macrophage proliferation. Data show that ischemia-induced tolerance in the gerbil is associated with proliferation of microglia/macrophages in striatum and cortex but not in hippocampus. Because there is no apparent neuronal death, it is postulated that the microglia/macrophage proliferation occurs in response to an unknown nonlethal injury to neurons or glia and may be beneficial.

Abstract
mRNA, Western analysis and immunohistochemistry were used to study the expression of the small heat shock protein (HSP) 27 in the rat septum and hippocampus following fimbria-fornix lesions, a model of neurodegeneration and regeneration. (HSP) 27 mRNA level was increased 2.5-fold in the medial septum 3 days after lesion and this increase persisted for 10 days. In the hippocampus, after an initial 15-fold increase at 3 days post-injury, HSP27 mRNA returned to basal levels 10 days after the lesion. Three and 10 days after lesion, HSP27 protein levels were increased in the septum (4.5 and 5-fold, respectively) and hippocampus (65 and 10-fold, respectively). The morphology of the HSP27 positive cells was indistinguishable from that of GFAP-immunoreactive cells. In addition, in the septum of injured rats, occasional neurons were heavily labelled with anti-HSP27 antibodies. Thus, up-regulation of HSP27, particularly in glial cells, may be a component of glial input in the processes on degeneration/regeneration which occur in this model.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence on the molecular and cellular basis of ischemia/reperfusion-induced neurodegeneration suggests that oxidative stress is involved. Heme oxygenase (HO) and cyclooxygenase (COX) play physiologically important roles in the CNS. Conversely, HO and COX also can increase oxidative stress. Recent studies suggest that c-Jun phosphorylation is an important step in some forms of stress-induced neuronal apoptosis. In this study, the authors tried to clarify the association of HO and COX with c-Jun phosphorylation. Inducible forms of HO and COX (HO-1 and COX-2, respectively) were transiently induced in CA1 pyramidal neurons after ischemia. c-Jun also was induced in pyramidal neurons throughout the hippocampal formation, but its phosphorylation was limited to CA1. In contrast, these molecules were constitutively expressed at low levels. Most (84%) of the CA1 pyramidal neurons examined expressed HO-1, COX-2, or both, and such expression showed good co-localization with c-Jun phosphorylation. These results suggest the following: (1) c-Jun phosphorylation was associated with ischemia/reperfusion-induced neuronal apoptosis; (2) HO-1 and COX-2 were induced in CA1 pyramidal neurons, which undergo cell death; and (3) most CA1 pyramidal neurons expressed HO-1, COX-2, or both, which strongly suggests that these are candidates for neuron killers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) stabilize intracellular processes of cells under stress. Little is known about the role of HSPs in wound healing, or whether their expression is altered by systemic disease. The focus of this study was to examine the local heat shock response to wounding in diabetic mice. METHODS Congenitally diabetic and phenotypically normal mice underwent standardized full-thickness cutaneous wounding. Mice were sacrificed at sequential time points and the wound beds excised. Tissues underwent immunohistochemical (IHC) and RT-PCR analyses for inducible HSP70. RESULTS HSP70 protein expression in the wound bed by IHC peaked at 24 h in the nondiabetic mice. Expression of HSP70 was delayed in the diabetic mice until Day 3, which correlates with the clinical delay in healing seen in this model. The protein was especially prominent in the epithelium and in inflammatory cells migrating into the granulation tissue matrix. RT-PCR demonstrated upregulation of HSP70 mRNA within 12 h after wounding, lasting until Day 3, and decreasing thereafter in both the nondiabetic and the diabetic animals. CONCLUSION Cutaneous wounding produces a HSP response in inflammatory cells, and expression of inducible HSP70 is delayed in diabetic mice. This delay may be related to the impaired inflammatory response of diabetics, and may contribute to impaired wound healing. The wound may be a continuing source of the heat shock response in inflammatory cells after injury.

Abstract
The functions of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family members in the adult brain are not known. This study investigated the changes in the expression of members of the EGF family following global ischemia employing in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical techniques to elucidate their roles in pathological conditions. EGF mRNA was not detected in either the control or the postischemic rat brain. Although transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) mRNA was widely expressed in the normal brain, its expression did not change appreciably following ischemia. By contrast, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) mRNA expression was rapidly increased in the CA3 sector and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, cortex, thalamus, and cerebellar granule and Purkinje cell layers. EGF receptor mRNA, which was widely expressed, also showed an increase in the CA3 sector and dentate gyrus. Conversely, HB-EGF mRNA did not show any increase prior to ischemic neuronal injury in the CA1 sector, the region most vulnerable to ischemia. Immunohistochemical detection of HB-EGF in the postischemic brain suggested a slight increase of immunostaining in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and the cortex. These findings showed that the gene encoding HB-EGF is stress-inducible, indicating the likelihood that HB-EGF is a neuroprotective factor in cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
The tumor promoter okadaic acid is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A and therefore it is a useful tool for studying the participation of protein phosphorylation in cellular processes. Since it has been shown that in cultured neurons OKA behaves as a potent neurotoxin, in the present work we have administered different doses of this compound into the dorsal rat hippocampus, in order to assess its neurotoxicity in vivo. Cresyl violet staining of hippocampal sections revealed that as early as 3 h after injection of 300 ng OKA a notable neurodegeneration occurred in the CA1 subfield, the dentate gyrus, and the hilus, particularly in the former. Neuronal death was more evident at 24 h and at this time the extent of damage was dose-dependent. The process of neuronal death was accompanied by a loss of the microtubule-associated protein MAP2, as assessed by immunocytochemistry. Moreover, OKA treatment resulted in a notable expression of the inducible heat shock protein 72 in the surviving neurons of the injected hippocampus and in the corresponding CA1 and hilus of the apparently normal contralateral hippocampus. The expression of the heat shock protein was partially prevented in the injected hippocampus and completely blocked in the contralateral CA1 region, by the systemic previous administration of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801. These results suggest that protein hyperphosphorylation due to inhibition of phosphatases in vivo induces neuronal stress and subsequent neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Recent evidence has suggested that molecular chaperones participate in the conformational change between the normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) and its scrapie isoform (PrPSc). To study a role of PrPC in the regulation of expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), a group of molecular chaperones, heat-induced expression of major HSPs (HSP105, HSP90alpha, HSP72, HSC70, HSP60, and HSP25) was investigated in cultured skin fibroblasts isolated from the mice homogeneous for a disrupted PrP gene (PrP-/- mice) by Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry. Two lines of fibroblasts were established and designated SFK derived from the PrP-/- mice and SFH derived from the PrP+/+ mice, respectively. In both SFK and SFH cells, HSP105, HSP72, and HSP25 were expressed at low levels under unstressed conditions but they were induced markedly following exposure to heat stress (43 degreesC/20 min) at 3-72 h postrecovery. In both cell types, HSC70 and HSP60 were expressed at high levels under unstressed conditions and their levels remained unchanged after heat shock treatment. HSP90alpha was undetectable in both cell types under any conditions examined. The pattern of expression, induction, and subcellular location of HSP105, HSP72, HSC70, HSP60, and HSP25 was not significantly different between SFK and SFH cells under unstressed and heat-stressed conditions. Furthermore, the levels of constitutive expression of HSP105, HSC70, HSP60, and HSP25 were similar between the brain tissues isolated from the PrP-/- and PrP+/+ mice. These results indicate that HSP induction is not affected by either the existence or the absence of PrPC in the cells.

Abstract
Restraint water-immersion stress-induced expression of heat shock protein (HSP)70 mRNA in the cerebral cortex and stomach of rats was evaluated by Northern blotting. Cerebral and gastric HSP70 mRNA significantly increased in the 6 h-stressed rats and the amount of mRNA measured as optical densities was highest in the 12 h-stressed rats. These data confirmed our previous observations and suggest that families of HSPs play a salient cytoprotective role in stress-vulnerable organs.

Abstract
In situ hybridization (ISH) measurements of c-fos and hsp70 expression were made in brain slice studies of hypoxia, with or without fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) pretreatment. Each experiment used eighty 350 microns thick cerebrocortical slices, obtained from twenty 7-day old rats. Thirty minute periods of hypoxia were followed by 8 h of hyperoxic perfusion. Slices were removed at eight predetermined times, and processed for ISH and immunohistochemistry. In three of six hypoxia experiments, slices were pretreated for 60 min with 2 mM FBP, a condition known to maintain ATP level in brain slices during hypoxia. In three other hypoxia experiments slices received no pretreatment. In two control experiments slices were perfused for 11.5 h without hypoxia. In control experiments, hsp70 mRNA was barely detectable in slices at all times, although moderate c-fos mRNA expression occurred at 1 h after decapitation. Hypoxia produced a modest but statistically significant increase in c-fos mRNA and hsp70 mRNA induction 4 h following reoxygenation. At all times after hypoxia, FBP pretreatment reduced expression of c-fos and hsp70 mRNA. The absence of hsp70 mRNA in control slices suggests that intracellular protein denaturation was minimal in this preparation. In slices made hypoxic, the decrease in c-fos and hsp70 mRNA caused by FBP pretreatment suggests ameliorated progression towards injury. Immunohistochemistry showed no HSP70 protein at any time following hypoxia, with or without FBP pretreatment, presumably due to delayed HSP70 protein synthesis, or to a block in translation, as observed in vivo in other studies.

Abstract
Expression of the 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) induced by a first insult is associated with protection from a subsequent ischemic insult in brain. Expression of the human inducible HSP70 was previously shown to protect astrocytes in primary culture from combined oxygen-glucose deprivation. These studies have now been extended to demonstrate that HSP70 expression also protects from isolated glucose deprivation. Slight protection was seen against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure. Glutathione levels decrease less after glucose deprivation or H2O2 exposure (200 microM) in the cells overexpressing HSP70, compared to either beta-galactosidase expressing or uninfected controls (P < 0.01). These data suggest that the HSP70-expressing cells suffered less oxidative stress since their glutathione levels were better preserved.

Abstract
Perinatal hypoxia is associated with both seizures arising acutely and the subsequent development of temporal lobe epilepsy (as determined retrospectively). We therefore attempted to identify acute and chronic morphological and/or electrophysiological hippocampal pathologies associated with experimentally induced hypoxia in immature rats. Pups were exposed to 15 minutes of hypoxia on 3 successive days (starting on postnatal day 8; P8), or to 60 minutes of hypoxia on P10 with either one or multiple hypoxia-induced seizures. For animals experiencing multiple seizures, flurothyl seizure threshold was significantly lower than that of controls at 60 to 80 days, but not at 10 days, after hypoxia. Acutely, there was a treatment-related increase in the number and the density of pyknotic dentate and hilar neurons, in particular in animals experiencing multiple seizures. However, 60 to 80 days after the multiple-seizure protocol, the number of dentate and hilar neurons did not differ between control and experimental animals. Electrophysiological measures of pyramidal cell properties showed no striking difference between experimental and control animals at any time point. These results indicate that early postnatal hypoxia and hypoxia-induced seizure episodes decrease seizure threshold in the adult but produce minimal acute or chronic morphological or functional changes in the hippocampus.

Abstract
While a number of studies have described the heat shock response in established cell lines and in primary cultures of cells derived from the nervous system, there has been no systematic analysis comparing expression and localization of the inducible heat shock 70 (hsp70) proteins and the constitutively synthesized members of the family (hsc70) in neurons and glia. In the present communication, we utilized specific probes to compare the expression of hsp70 and hsc70 mRNAs and proteins in two types of primary cultures, astroglial and neuro-astroglial, from postnatal rat cerebellum. Conditions were adjusted to maintain physiological numbers of microglia in both types of culture, and cultures were analyzed at a number of different time points following a precisely defined heat shock. The northern, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analyses resulted in a number of novel observations concerning the nature of the heat shock response in these neuronal and glial cells. In postnatal day 4-5 cultures, hsp70 mRNA levels were elevated for at least 10 h in both types of culture, but in situ hybridization analysis showed no evidence for hsp70 mRNAs in neurons. Microglia were the only cell type in which hsp70 was detected in non-stressed cultures and this cell type contained the highest concentrations of hsp70 proteins in stressed cultures. Hsc70 mRNA levels were also increased after heat shock, but the increase was more transient. Hsc70 mRNAs and proteins were present in all cell types, again with the highest concentrations being present in microglia. Hsc70 mRNAs and proteins were localized in the cytoplasm at all time points examined, with hsc70 protein also being localized in nucleoli. Hsp70 mRNAs and proteins were diffusely localized over nuclei of astrocytes, as well as of most microglia. Hsp70, but not hsc70, was localized on chromosomes in glia once they had resumed cell division after heat shock, suggesting a role for hsp70 either in targeting damaged chromosomal proteins or in cell division. Some cytoplasmic hsp70 was observed in astrocytes of the mixed neuro-astroglial cultures and a delayed hsp70 immunoreactivity was observed in granule neurons in these cultures, suggesting either that translation of low levels of hsp70 mRNAs was more efficient in neurons, or that glial-neuronal translocation of hsp70 proteins had taken place. These results suggest that metabolism and functions of different heat shock protein family members may not always be identical and that care must be taken in extrapolation of results from one cell type to another.

Abstract
Two heme oxygenase (HO) proteins have been identified to date; HO-1, a stress-induced protein, and HO-2, a constitutively expressed isoform. Recently, it was demonstrated that HO-1 mRNA expression is increased following transient global ischemia. The present study examined the effects of global and focal ischemia on HO-1 and HO-2 protein, using immunocytochemistry. Following 20 min of ischemia (rat 4 vessel occlusion model with hypotension) and 6 h of recirculation, increased HO-1 immunoreactivity was evident in hippocampal neurons. After 24 h of recirculation, HO-1 was observed in both hippocampal neurons and astroglial cells. By 72 h, expression was primarily glial and restricted to CA1 and CA3c. In addition to hippocampus, HO-1 was also evident in both neurons and glia in cerebral cortex and thalamus, and in striatal glial cells. Twenty-four hours following permanent focal ischemia, HO-1 immunoreactivity was observed in astroglial cells in the penumbra region surrounding the infarct. In contrast to HO-1, the pattern of HO-2 immunoreactivity was not altered following transient global or permanent focal ischemia. The increased expression of HO-1 following ischemia may confer protection against oxidative stress, but might also contribute to the subsequent neuronal degeneration.

Abstract
The stress-induced HSP72 expression in bovine oligodendrocytes (OL) in culture was investigated following exposure to heat stress, oxidative stress and cytokines by immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry. Under the unstressed condition, HSP72 was expressed in a small number (3%) of OL. After exposure to heat stress, the level of HSP72 expression in OL was elevated significantly and an intense HSP72 immunolabelling was identified in almost all OL, while HSP72 was not induced by exposure to hydrogen peroxide (10 microM) or glucose oxidase (20 mU ml-1). The level of HSP72 expression was not elevated by treatment with interleuken (IL)-1 alpha (10 ng ml-1), IL-1 beta (10 ng ml-1), tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (200 ng ml-1), or TNF-beta (200 ng ml-1). Our results indicate that HSP72 is upregulated in cultured bovine OL by heat stress but not by oxidative stress or cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF.

Abstract
The current study was undertaken to investigate the expression of stress proteins (HSP) in cultured human HT29 cells submitted to stressing events under in vitro conditions. Heat shocks (45 degrees C, for 15-60 min) or cold shocks (+ 1 degree C for 4 hr) were found to modify cell growth (growth curves) and to enhance HSP expression. In most cases, changes in HSP expression are much more pronounced than changes in cell growth. Exposure to 8% ethanol for 15 min resulted in both growth inhibition and HSP overexpression. Propanol-1 was found to be more toxic since 5% concentration given for 15 min stops cell growth. 2.5% propanol-1 for 15 min induces a slight reduction of cell growth but a clear-cut overexpression of stress proteins. We conclude that expression of stress proteins, especially those of the HSP68/70 family, constitutes a more sensitive response than changes in growth rate in case of external aggression. This could make our model an interesting biological sensor to environmental physical or chemical pollutants.

Abstract
Families of 70 kDa heat shock proteins have essential roles in cellular coping to noxious stimuli. However, their roles in psychophysiological stress have not been precisely clarified. We tested our hypothesis that heat shock cognate protein (HSC)70 messenger RNA would increase in stress-vulnerable organs under psychophysiological stress. In control rats, cerebral HSC70 mRNAs were constitutively expressed while gastric HSC70 mRNAs were scarcely identified. Restraint-water immersion stress significantly increased the level of cerebral HSC70 mRNAs for 6 h and 12 h. Stress for 6 h with recovery for 6 h induced more gastric HSC70 mRNA levels than that without recovery, while stress for 12 h expressed the highest gastric HSC70 mRNA levels. Hypothermia, induced by water immersion, excluded a possible role of hyperthermia in inducing HSC70 mRNA. Our results point to a crucial cytoprotective role for families of heat shock proteins in stress-vulnerable brain-gut link in mammals under psychophysiological stress.

Abstract
T lymphocytes bearing the gamma delta T-cell receptor have been found in the central nervous system of patients with multiple sclerosis in association with demyelinated lesions. Although the biological function of these cells remains to be established, it has been proposed that they are involved in the response to highly conserved antigens, such as heat shock proteins (hsp), expressed during tissue damage and thus may contribute to the development of an autoimmune response. Using polymerase chain reaction, we probed for the presence of T-cell receptor gamma delta cells in fresh-frozen early autopsy brain tissue from patients with multiple sclerosis and patients with non-multiple sclerosis conditions. The results demonstrated the presence of two major V-J combinations of the T-cell receptor delta chain--V delta 2-J delta 3, V delta 2-J delta 1--and we used a direct sequencing technique to determine whether this gamma delta T-cell population was clonal or diverse. In chronic-active plaques from 9 patients with multiple sclerosis, we found a striking predominant gene rearrangement within the V delta 2-J delta 3 T-cell receptor population that was not present in central nervous system tissue from patients with other neurological diseases. In contrast, within the V delta 2-J delta 1 T-cell receptor population, a predominant rearrangement pattern was detected in only 1 of the multiple sclerosis patients. The sequence of the predominant V delta 2-J delta 3 gene rearrangement was confirmed by cloning and sequencing the gene products from 1 multiple sclerosis patient.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A photoreactive alpha-D-glucose probe has been designed for the specific detection of carbohydrate binding proteins (CBPs). The probe consists of four parts: (i) an alpha-D-glucose moiety; (ii) the digoxigenin tag; (iii) the photoreactive cross-linker; and (iv) the lysyl-lysine backbone. After incubation with lectins in the dark, the probe is activated and cross-linked to the CBPs after being treated by several flashes. Using this method we have identified a new alpha-D-glucose CBP of M(r) = 33,000, termed CBP33, in the nuclei of rats exposed to transient immobilization stress. Monoclonal antibodies were raised against the partially purified protein and subsequently used to enrich CBP33. It was purified (> 2400-fold) to apparent homogeneity from a 0.6 M nuclear salt extract by two subsequent affinity chromatography steps (antibody-affinity as well as alpha-D-glucose affinity column).

Abstract
Expression of 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) induced by heat stress was investigated in cultured neurons and glial cells isolated from fetal human brains using immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry. Under the unstressed condition, a low level of HSP72 expression was observed in astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and neurons. Under the heat-stressed condition, an increased expression of HSP72 was observed in all cell types with specific location in the nuclear and cytoplasmic regions. Following heat stress, HSP72 was expressed intensely in more than 50% of astrocytes and microglia during 8-24 h post-recovery, while it was detectable in only 9% of oligodendrocytes and 3% of neurons at 48 h post-recovery. These results indicate that heat stress induces a predominant expression of HSP72 in astrocytes and microglia, and more limited HSP72 expression in oligodendrocytes and neurons in fetal human neural cells in culture. The differential patterns of HSP72 induction in human neural cells by heat stress suggest that cellular mechanisms by which the heat shock response is regulated are different among various cell types in the human central nervous system.

Abstract
We report here the time-dependent expression of several classes of HSP mRNAs following focal cerebral ischemia in rats. HSP70, GRP78, HSP27, HSP90 and HSP47 have been reported to possess distinct functions under normal and/or stress conditions. These different classes of HSP mRNAs were differentially induced by ischemia, as determined by Northern blot analysis. Messenger RNAs of the HSP70 family proteins were induced within 4 h after ischemia and then rapidly decreased, whereas HSP27 and HSP47 mRNAs reached a maximum level of expression at 24 h and 48 h after ischemic treatment, respectively. In situ hybridization showed that the expression of inducible HSP70 mRNA was observed predominantly in regions adjacent to the ischemic core except during the early periods of ischemia. HSP27 mRNA was expressed over a broad area of the ipsilateral cerebral neocortex except for the ischemic center 24 h after ischemia. The unique induction kinetics for each HSP mRNA species may reflect their distinct roles in the brain during various physiological stresses. We will also discuss that stress proteins may be involved in the central nervous system after ischemia in two important aspects: early protection against stress and restoration of damaged lesions in the brain at later stages after ischemia.

Abstract
Immunohistochemical and immunoblotting analysis of brain tissue of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients showed highly induced expression of the small heat-shock protein hsp 27 in affected cortex. Expression of hsp 27 was present in a large number of proliferating astrocytes. The highest expression was exhibited by degenerative astrocytes in the areas rich in senile plaques. Neurofibrillary tangles, Hirano bodies and some hippocampal neurons were also positive. Expression of hsp 27 increased with the severity of AD-specific morphological changes, and with the duration of dementia. In control brains immunoreaction was restricted to the vessels and to occasional astrocytes in the white matter. Similar patterns of immunoreactivity were present in cases without dementia (Parkinson disease, lacunar state, or focal ischemic necrosis). Patients suffering from other types of dementia (Parkinson/dementia complex, multi-infarct dementia, normal pressure hydrocephalus) showed less expression of hsp 27 in reactive astrocytes than AD, but more than controls. These results indicate that increased expression of hsp 27, especially in astrocytes showing klazmatodendrosis, is associated with AD pathology.
