Analysis showed that the chop was barely detected in sham group. In brains of CAL-120 ischemia group, it was increased 6 hour after 15 MedChemExpress (-)-Indolactam V minutes of ischemia and gradually decreased thereafter; however, the degree of increase was much smaller in the hypothermia brains.

However, whether hypothermia can block endoplasmic reticulum mediated apoptosis is never known. This study confirms that mild hypothermia for 3 h after global ischemia protects hippocampus neurons from a global ischemic insult, and demonstrates that this protection following global ischemia is associated with reduced apoptosis as assessed by TUNEL staining. Furthermore, we showed for the first time that mild hypothermia was associated with increased GRP78 expression and decreased chop expression suggesting a mechanism for the observed neuroprotection. ER is the site for protein synthesis and folding, and also involved in calcium homeostasis and lipid biosynthesis. Cerebral ischemia causes severe ER stress that results in ER function disruption and3.3 TUNELTUNEL positive staining was absent in the sham groups (Fig. 4), and there were few TUNEL positive cells among the hypothermia group (Fig. 4). However, many positive cells could be observed in the ischemia group (Fig. 4). Detection of apoptosis in hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neurons was carried out using TUNEL staing. The sham group showed a large number of neurons and almost no TUNEL-positive cells (5.161.2) (A). In ischemia (C) and hypothermia (B) groups, the number of neurons was decreased and substantial TUNEL-positive cells were detected.
