Abstract
The hypothalamus plays an important role in maintaining a homeostasis of the body against stress response. In particular, the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus is a critical region for disorders related to the autonomic nervous system, such as congestive heart failure and hypertension αB-crystallin is a family of heat shock proteins that are widely expressed in the brain, including in glial cells, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons. Many studies have demonstrated that expression level of αB-crystallin is up-regulated and involved in protecting cells from pathological conditions. In the present study, we examined the expression and potential role of αB-crystallin in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) regions of rats with myocardial infarction (MI). Our results demonstrate that mRNA encoding αB-crystallin and protein for both native and phosphorylate forms (Ser-59) of αB-crystallin was significantly increased in the PVN during MI.
