- Abstract
Objective: To study the expression of p53 gene after transient ischemia in the gerbil., Methods: Northern blot was used to detect the expression of the p53 mRNA in the forebrain during different periods after post-ischemic reperfusion in the gerbil., Results: The expression of p53 mRNA increased in the forebrain during the 6th hour to the 3rd day of reperfusion following 6 min of ischemia (P < 0.05)., Conclusion: The high level expression of p53 might induce neuronal apoptosis after ischemia.
