Using a unilateral, focal, cortical, ischemia-reperfusion rat model, c-fos mRNA and Fos immunoreactivity in the brain were investigated. The study was divided into a series of reperfusion intervals which were carried out for a period of up to 7 days. The c-fos mRNA peaked in the ischemic cortex (about 15-fold) after 30 minutes of ischemia followed by 1 hour of reperfusion and dropped to baseline level after 1 day of reperfusion. Increased expression switched to the bilateral retrosplenial and frontal cortex, as well as the left (nonischemic) parietal cortex, at 3- or 5-days of reperfusion (about three- to fourfold). Fos immunohistochemical staining correlated positively with the surge of c-fos mRNA. Nuclear run-off transcription assays further indicated that the increase in c-fos mRNA was regulated at the transcriptional level not only in the ischemic cortex (30 min of ischemia, followed by 1 h of reperfusion) but also in the contralateral counterpart (30 min of ischemia, followed by 3 d of reperfusion). A link between altered gene expression and diaschisis is suggested. The distant/delayed c-fos expression is probably caused by loss of inhibition from the ischemic cortex through a polysynaptic transneural pathway.
