Our objective was to investigate whether localized tissue injury induces expression of a gene encoding the major 70 kd heat shock protein (hsp70) in the mammalian nervous system. A small surgical cut was made in the rat cerebral cortex. By 2 hr postsurgery a dramatic and highly localized induction of hsp70 mRNA was detected at the lesion site using in situ hybridization with labeled riboprobe. By 12 hr the intensity of the signal had diminished, and by 24 hr only a few cells along the walls of the cut demonstrated a high level of hsp70 mRNA. Both neurons and glial cells at the site of the surgical cut responded to tissue injury by induction of hsp70 mRNA. Induction was not observed in other brain regions, nor was the pattern of constitutive expression affected by the surgical procedure.
