Induction of HSP90 alpha heat shock mRNA after transient global ischemia in gerbil hippocampus.
Distribution of heat shock protein (HSP) 90 alpha mRNA induction after 10 min of transient global ischemia was investigated in gerbil hippocampus by in situ hybridization. A small amount of HSP90 alpha mRNA was normally present in hippocampal cells and the mRNA was further induced with a peak at 8 h after ischemia. In hippocampal CA1 cells that are vulnerable to ischemia, HSP90 alpha mRNA was continuously induced by 1 day and finally diminished at 2 days. The temporal profile of HSP90 alpha mRNA induction in hippocampal CA1 cells was similar to that of HSP70 mRNA reported previously, suggesting a cooperative role of HSP90 alpha with other HSPs after ischemia.
