RT Journal Article T1 Study of protein xxpresion in peri-infarct tissue after cerebral ischemia A1 Brea López, David A1 Agulla Freire, Jesús A1 Staes, An A1 Gevaert, Kris A1 Campos Pérez, Francisco A1 Sobrino Moreiras, Tomás A1 Blanco González, Miguel A1 Dávalos, Antoni A1 Castillo Sánchez, José Antonio A1 Ramos Cabrer, Pedro AB In this work, we report our study of protein expression in rat peri-infarct tissue, 48h after theinduction of permanent focal cerebral ischemia. Two proteomic approaches, gel electrophoresis withmass spectrometry and combined fractional diagonal chromatography (COFRADIC), were performedusing tissue samples from the periphery of the induced cerebral ischemic lesions, using tissue fromthe contra-lateral hemisphere as a control. Several protein spots (3408) were identified by gelelectrophoresis, and 11 showed significant differences in expression between peri-infarct and contralateral tissues (at least 3-fold, p<0.05). Using COFRADIC, 5412 proteins were identified, with 72showing a difference in expression. Apart from blood-related proteins (such as serum albumin), bothtechniques showed that the 70kDa family of heat shock proteins were highly expressed in the periinfarct tissue. Further studies by 1D and 2D western blotting and immunohistochemistry revealedthat only one member of this family (the inducible form, HSP72 or HSP70i) is specifically expressedby the peri-infarct tissue, while the majority of this family (the constitutive form, HSC70 or HSP70c)is expressed in the whole brain. Our data support that HSP72 is a suitable biomarker of peri-infarcttissue in the ischemic brain.
