Abstract

Background: Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor geldanamycin was found to be neuroprotective in various experimental models of brain disease. The effect was attributed to the induction of heat-shock proteins and/or disruption of cellular signaling. Methods: In Sprague–Dawley rats, the middle cerebral artery was occluded for 90 min using the intraluminal suture method. Geldanamycin (300 mg/kg) or vehicle was injected intraperitoneally 15 min before onset of ischemia or reperfusion. Animals were sacrificed at 2, 4 or 24 h after ischemia onset and brain samples were processed for infarct volume measurement, Western blot analysis or immunofluorescent staining of Hsp90, Raf-1, p38, and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Results: Geldanamycin treatment during ischemia or reperfusion reduced infarct volume by 79 and 61 % respectively. Geldanamycin decreased Raf-1 and activated p44/42 MAPK proteins, but did not alter levels of activated p38 MAPK during early reperfusion. Hsp90 was co-localized with Raf-1 and activated p44/42 MAPK in the cytoplasm of ischemic neurons. Conclusion: Geldanamycin-induced protection against transient focal cerebral ischemia may in part be based upon depletion of Raf-1 and blockade of p44/42 MAPK activation.
