Popis: | Heat shock protein (HSP70), a member of the 70 kDa HSP superfamily, has been widely implicated in the cellular stress response to numerous insults. HSP70 may be a significant factor in cell survival following stresses such as cerebral ischaemia. The precise mechanisms by which HSP70 facilitates cell survival remain unclear. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether any differences in local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) existed between transgenic mice overexpressing HSP70 (HSP70 Tg) and wild- type littermate (WT) mice. LCGU was assessed using (14)C-2-deoxyglucose in HSP70 Tg and WT mice under basal conditions (intraperitoneal injection of saline) and during metabolic activation produced by NMDA receptor blockade (intraperitoneal injection of dizocilpine, 1 mg/kg). No significant alterations in LCGU were observed between saline injected HSP70 Tg and WT mice in any of the 35 brain regions analyzed. Dizocilpine injection produced significant heterogeneous alterations in LCGU in HSP70 Tg mice (24 of 35 brain regions) and in WT mice (22 of 35 brain regions) compared with saline injected mice. The distribution of altered LCGU produced by dizocilpine was similar in HSP70 Tg and WT mice. However in five brain regions, dizocilpine injected HSP70 Tg mice displayed significantly altered LCGU compared to dizocilpine injected WT mice (anterior thalamic nucleus +27%, dorsal CA1 stratum lacunosum molecularae +22%, dorsal CA1 stratum oriens + 14%, superior olivary body -26%, and the nucleus of the lateral lemniscus -16%). These data highlight that while overexpression of HSP70 transgene does not significantly alter LCGU in the basal state, mice overexpressing the HSP70 transgene respond differently to metabolic stress produced by NMDA receptor blockade in some important brain regions. |
