This study investigated the effects of intravenous recombinant Fv-Hsp70 protein on infarction volume and behavior following experimental ischemic stroke. Focal cerebral ischemia was produced by occluding the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using the intraluminal suture technique. Rats subjected to 2 hours of focal ischemia were allowed to survive 24 h. At 2 ¼ h and 3 h after onset of ischemia, Fv-Hsp70 recombinant protein (0.5 mg / kg) or saline was injected via the tail vein. Sensory-motor function and infarction volume were assessed at 24 h following ischemia. Administration of Fv-Hsp70 following focal cerebral ischemia significantly decreased infarct volume by 68% and significantly improved sensory-motor function compared to the saline-treated control group. Western blots showed Fv-Hsp70 in ischemic but not in control brain; and Fv-Hsp70 suppressed endogenous Hsp70. Fv-Hsp70 protects ischemic brain in this experimental stroke model.
