摘 要:Aim:To investigate the effects of lithium(Li)and prostaglandin A1(PGA1)on theexpression of heat shock factor 1(HSF- 1),heat shock proteins(HSP),and apoptosisprotease activating factor-1(Apaf-1)induced by permanent focal ischernia in ***:The rats were pretreated with a subcutaneous(sc)injection of Li for 2 dor a single intracerebral ventricle(icv)administration of PGA1for 15 min beforeischemic insult,or a combination ofLi(sc,1 mEq/kg,2 d)and PGA1(icv,15 minprior to ischemic insult).Brain ischemia was induced by the permanent middlecerebral artery occlusion(pMCAO).Twenty-four hours after the occlusion,theexpression of HSF-1,HSE and Apaf-1 in the ischemic striatum were examined withWestern blot ***:The expression of HSF-1,heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),HSP90α,and Apaf-1 were significantly increased,but the expression ofHSP90β was significantly decreased 24 h after the ***1and Li and theircombination significantly enhanced the ischemia-induced elevation in the levelsof HSF-1,HO-1,and HSP90α,and recovered HSP90β expression,but decreasedApaf-1 levels in the ischemic ***:The present study demon-strates that PGA1and Li have synergistic effects on the enhancement of theexpression of HSP,suggesting that the synergistic effects of PGA1and Li in therat model of permanent focal cerebral ischemia may be mediated by the enhance-ment expression of HSP expression and the downregulation of *** studiessuggest that combined PGA1and Li may have potential clinical value for thetreatment of stroke.
