Objective:To study its effect on the expression of BDNF from injured astrocytes after HSP70 were blocked by HSP70-antibody. Methods:We performed scratch injuries in the cultured rat astrocytes
and added HSP70-antibody into the nu- trient medium at once after injury(intervention group).Then
at 30min
24h
4d
7d after injury
the expression of brain-derived neurotropic facto(rBDNF)was studied by immunocytochemical and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The immunocytochemical pictures were analyzed by image analysis system to abtain the average optical density of BDNF. Results: The expression of BDNF increased gradually with injury time.Compared with the control group
the average optical density of BDNF in the intervention group were significantly reduced(P<0.05
P<0.01).The expresstion of BDNFmRNA was down-regu- lated in the intervention group(P<0.05
P<0.01). Conclusion:HSP70 may play a role in the production of BDNF from injured astrocytes.
