| Research Abstract |
Increasing evidence suggests that brain hypothermia protects neuronal cells against ischemic injury and improves neurologic outcome after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest. However, molecular mechanism of the neuroprotective effect of brain hypothermia still remains to be clarified. To investigate the contribution of stress proteins to neuroprotective effect of post-resuscitative brain hypothermia, ischemia-sensitive hippocampal CA1 region of hypothermic swine brain or normothermic brain was immunostained with specific antibody for heat shock proteins or 150 kDa oxygen-regulated protein (ORP150). It was demonstrated for the first time that immunoreactivity of ubiquitin and ORP150 was enhanced in CA1 neurons of hvpothermic brain as compared with normothermic brain, while Immunoreactivity of 73 kDa heat shock cognate protein was not changed. In addition to the increased expression, post-resuscitative hypothermic brains were characterized with nuclear accumulation of ubiquitin. Our data highlighted stress proteins as possible neuroprotective molecules induced by brain hypothermia.
