title: Expression of heat shock protein 70 and its mRNAs during ischemia-reperfusion in the rat prostate.
abstract: We investigated the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and its mRNAs during ischemia-reperfusion in the rat prostate. Eight-week-old rats were divided into six groups: a control group, a 30-min ischemia group, and 30-min ischemia+30-min, 60-min, 1-day, and 1-week reperfusion groups (groups A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively). In vivo real-time blood flow and HSP 70-1 and 70-2 mRNAs and proteins in the prostate were measured using laser Doppler flow meter, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods, respectively. Clamping of the aorta decreased blood flow to 10% of the basal level. The expressions of HSP 70-1/2 mRNAs increased in groups B, C, and D, and decreased in groups E and F. The expression of HSP 70 proteins was increased after a short interval of increase in their mRNAs. Our data indicated that the expressions of HSP 70 proteins and their mRNAs are dramatically changed during ischemia-reperfusion in the rat prostate.
