An understanding of the time course and correlation with injury of heat shock proteins (HSPs) released during brain and/or spinal cord cellular stress (ischemia) is critical in understanding the role of the HSPs in cellular survival, and may provide a clinically useful biomarker of severe cellular stress. We have analyzed the levels of HSPs in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients who are undergoing thoracic aneurysm repair. Blood and CSF samples were collected at regular intervals, and CSF was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for HSP70 and HSP27. These results were correlated with intraoperative somatosensory-evoked potentials measurements and postoperative paralysis. We find that the levels of these proteins in many patients are elevated and that the degree of elevation correlates with the risk of permanent paralysis. We hypothesize that sequential measurement intraoperatively of the levels of the heat shock proteins HSP70 and HSP27 in the CSF can predict those patients who are at greatest risk for paralysis during thoracic aneurysm surgery and will allow us to develop means of preventing or attenuating this severe and often fatal complication.

了解大脑和/或脊髓细胞应激 (缺血) 期间释放的热休克蛋白 (hsp) 的时间过程以及与损伤的相关性对于理解hsp在细胞存活中的作用至关重要,并且可能提供临床上有用的生物标志物严重的细胞应激。我们已经分析了正在接受胸动脉瘤修复的患者的脑脊液 (CSF) 中HSPs的水平。定期收集血液和CSF样本,并通过酶联免疫吸附法分析CSF中的HSP70和hsp27。这些结果与术中体感诱发电位测量和术后瘫痪相关。我们发现许多患者中这些蛋白质的水平升高,并且升高的程度与永久性瘫痪的风险相关。我们假设,术中连续测量CSF中热休克蛋白HSP70和HSP27的水平可以预测那些在胸动脉瘤手术中瘫痪风险最大的患者,并将使我们能够开发预防或减轻这种严重且通常致命的并发症的方法。
