In vivo detection of autophagy could be important for evaluating ischemic neural cell damage for human stroke patients. Using novel green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fused microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) transgenic (Tg) mice, in vivo imaging of autophagy was performed at 1, 3 and 6 d after 60 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). Ex vivo imaging of autophagy, testing of the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA), estern blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling (TUNEL) and fluorescent analyses were performed on brain sections following tMCAO. In vivo fluorescent signals were detected above the ischemic hemisphere through the skull bone at 1, 3 and 6 d after tMCAO, with a peak at 1 d. Similar results were obtained with ex vivo fluorescence imaging. western blot analysis revealed maximum LC3-I and LC3-II expression at 1 d after tMCAO and fluorescence immunohistochemistry demonstrated that GFP-LC3-positive cells were primarily neuronal, not astroglial or microglial, cells. The number of GFP-LC3/TUNEL double-positive cells was greater in the peri-ischemic area than in the core. These results provided evidence of in vivo autophagy detection, with a peak at 1 d, in a live animal model following cerebral ischemia. This novel technique could be valuable for monitoring autophagic processes in vivo in live stroke patients, as well as for clarifying the detailed role of autophagy in the ischemic brain, as well as in other neurological diseases. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TianFengFeng en-aut-sei=Tian en-aut-mei=FengFeng kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=DeguchiKentaro en-aut-sei=Deguchi en-aut-mei=Kentaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamashitaToru en-aut-sei=Yamashita en-aut-mei=Toru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtaYasuyuki en-aut-sei=Ohta en-aut-mei=Yasuyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorimotoNobutoshi en-aut-sei=Morimoto en-aut-mei=Nobutoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShangJingwei en-aut-sei=Shang en-aut-mei=Jingwei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=ZhangXuemei en-aut-sei=Zhang en-aut-mei=Xuemei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=LiuNing en-aut-sei=Liu en-aut-mei=Ning kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkedaYoshio en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Yoshio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuuraTohru en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Tohru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=AbeKoji en-aut-sei=Abe en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Neurol, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci en-keyword=autophagy kn-keyword=autophagy en-keyword=apoptosis kn-keyword=apoptosis en-keyword=GFP-LC3 Tg mice kn-keyword=GFP-LC3 Tg mice en-keyword=in vivo imaging kn-keyword=in vivo imaging en-keyword=tMCAO kn-keyword=tMCAO END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=123 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=227 end-page=230 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2011 dt-pub=20111201 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Treatment and care of intractable neurological diseases kn-title=神経内科領域の難治性疾患診療 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IkedaYoshio en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Yoshio kn-aut-name=池田佳生 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=佳生 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=AbeKoji en-aut-sei=Abe en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name=阿部康二 kn-aut-sei=阿部 kn-aut-mei=康二 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　脳神経内科学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　脳神経内科学 en-keyword=神経難病 kn-keyword=神経難病 en-keyword=アルツハイマー病 kn-keyword=アルツハイマー病 en-keyword=パーキンソン病関連疾患 kn-keyword=パーキンソン病関連疾患 en-keyword=脊髄小脳変性症・多系統萎縮症 kn-keyword=脊髄小脳変性症・多系統萎縮症 en-keyword=筋萎縮性側索硬化症 kn-keyword=筋萎縮性側索硬化症 END
