Application of a brief period of ischemia, i.e. preconditioning treatment of the middle cerebral artery territory, has been known to produce ischemic tolerance, reducing cerebral infarction volume in the penumbra region after lethal ischemia. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for preconditioning-induced ischemic tolerance. In the present study, we examined the difference in the phosphorylation pattern of cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) after 1 h of focal cerebral ischemia between preconditioned and non-preconditioned rats by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. The phosphorylation of CREB in the penumbra region was more rapidly enhanced in the preconditioned rats than in the non-preconditioned rats after 1 h of ischemia. The result suggested that the immediate enhancement in the phosphorylation of CREB in the penumbra region prevented the spread of infarction in the preconditioned rats.
