K. Yabuuchi et al., AN IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION STUDY ON INTERLEUKIN-1-BETA MESSENGER-RNA INDUCED BY TRANSIENT FOREBRAIN ISCHEMIA IN THE RAT-BRAIN, Molecular brain research, 26(1-2), 1994, pp. 135-142
Expression of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) mRNA in the rat brain aft
er transient forebrain ischemia was investigated by in situ hybridizat
ion histochemistry. Thirty min after the start of recirculation, IL-1
beta mRNA was induced in the several brain regions, including the olfa
ctory bulb, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, striatum and thalamus where
neuronal degeneration was reported to be observed after transient fore
brain ischemia. The hybridization signals were observed both on the gl
ial cells and around the vascular walls.
