Caspase-12 has been localized to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and showed to involve ER stress-induced apoptosis. In the present work we investigated the temporospatial alterations of caspase-12 immunoreactivity in the penumbra following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rabbit. Transient cerebral ischemia was produced by intraluminal occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 2 h followed by 1 h, 6 h, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days and 14 days of reperfusion. Caspase-12 immunohistochemistry was first increased in the penumbra 1 h after reperfusion, with a peak at day 1 to day 3, and then gradually decreased to basal level at day 14. The number of TUNEL-positive cells and ultrastructural observation of brain sections in the penumbra showed a similar change at the same time points. ER mediated by caspase-12 participated in apoptosis induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, which may provide a new area for therapeutic intervention to ameliorate outcomes following cerebral ischemia.
