Compared with those 4 hours after surgery, concentrations of all proteins decreased significantly in the left hemisphere 3 days after surgery (p<0.01). Microtubule-associated protein 2 was the most susceptible to ischemia. Degradation products of MAP 2 and MAG were detected on the blots. Furthermore, in the contralateral himisphere, concentrations of these two proteins decreased comparing with those in concurrent sham-operated controls 3 days after surgery. Changes in the concentrations of cerebral proteins in the contralateral hemisphere are important for understanding clinical symptoms not attributable solely to the ipsilateral lesion following a focal cerebral stroke. Since MAP 2 is one of the substrate of calpain, E-64c, a synthetic calpain inhibitor, was administered at a dose of 400mg/kg twice a day for 3 days, with the first dose being given before the production of ischemia. The depletion of MAP 2 was significantly inhibited in vivo by E-64c (p<0.05). The results suggest that calpain is partially involved in the degradation of MAP 2, and that the use of calpain inhibitors can be a useful clinical approach to cerebral ischemia.}, pages = {548--553}, title = {実験的脳梗塞における脳蛋白質の変化とプロテアーゼインヒビターの効果に関する研究}, volume = {105}, year = {1991} }
