HSP induction is not impaired in old mice. Tissues were taken from 3- and 22-month-old mice 2 h after treatment with HSP990 (12 mg/kg) or vehicle. (A) qPCR analysis of the expression levels of Hspa1a/b, Dnajb1 and Hspb1 in brain regions and peripheral tissues. Values were calculated relative to vehicle-treated young mice. (B) The relative protein level of HSP70, HSP40 and HSP25 in the muscle and heart. Densitometric values were calculated relative to vehicle-treated young mice. (C) Representative western blots used for the quantification in (B). Data are the mean ± SEM. 4<n < 8/group. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01: asterisk indicates the statistically significant difference in the level of induction; Muscle, quadriceps; L.C., loading control; mth, months.
