Abstract
The lesion volume, as measured at 24 h using T2-weighted MRI, was significantly smaller in HSP70 transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice. The smaller lesion size in HSP70 transgenic mice could not be attributed to differences in vascular anatomy or in cerebral blood flow during occlusion. Additionally, the apparent diffusion coefficient showed different spatial and temporal patterns between the groups, suggesting that the damage within the lesion may be less severe for HSP70 transgenic mice. Thus, we conclude that overexpression of HSP70 reduces the overall lesion size and may also limit the tissue damage within the lesion.
