  • Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are induced in response to various physiological or environmental stressors. However, the transcriptional activation of HSPs is regulated by a family of heat shock factors (HSFs). Fish models provide an ideal system for examining the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of adaptation to various temperatures and water environments. In this study, we examined the pattern differentials of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in response to thermal stress in goldfish and mouse hepatocyte cultures by immune-blot analysis. Goldfish HSF1 (gfHSF1) changed from a monomer to a trimer at $33^{\circ}C$ and showed slightly at $37^{\circ}C$, whereas mouse HSF1 (mHSF1) did so at $42^{\circ}C$. This experiment showed similar results to a previous study, indicating that gfHSF1 and mHSF1 play different temperature in the stress response. We also examined the activation conditions of the purified recombinant proteins in human HSF1 (hmHSF1) and gfHSF1 using CD spectroscopy and immune-blot analysis. The purified recombinant HSF1s were treated from $25^{\circ}C$ to $42^{\circ}C$. Structural changes were observed in hmHSF1 and gfHSF1 according to the heat-treatment conditions. These results revealed that both mammal HSF1 (human and mouse HSF1) and fish HSF1 exhibited temperature-dependent changes; however, their optimal activation temperatures differed.

  • Environmental stres is known to induce heat shock proteins (HSPs) in eukaryotic cells. However, the induction of HSPs in host cells by microbial infection has not yet been well explained. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the major pathogens in the pathogenesis of endovascular diseases such as infective endocarditis. In this study, the synthesis of stress-inducible 70 kDa HSP was investigated in the endothelial cells (ECs) after 3 h to 20 h of incubation with S. aureus. The dffect of S. aureus infection on the expression of HSP70 in cultured ECs was analyzed using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). The increase of HSP70 expression in ECs infected by S. aureus ($10^4{\;}cfu/ml$) for 20 h was 1.1-fold higher than that in heat shock treated ECs and 2.2-fold higher than that in untreated cells. Heat shock is known to induce intranucleus HSP70 expression in mammalian cells, whereas the S. aureus infection induced perinuclear expression in ECs as observed by LSCM. Consequently, the expression of HSP70 in ECs plays an important role in the pathogenesis of endovascular infection.

  • We characterized a cDNA clone for a low molecular weight heat-shock protein (LMW HSP) from tobacco named TLHS-l. Nucleotide sequence determination of TLHS-1 identified an open reading frame for 159 amino acids. To the upstream of the open reading frame, a sequence of 124 nucleotides was determined. To the 3' downstream of the open reading frame, 212 nucleotides were identified which carried poly(A)-tail. Comparison of the open reading frame and hydropathy plot of TLHS-1 with the previously reported class I LMW HSPs showed high identity which classified TLHS-1 as a class I LMW HSP cDNA clone. We proposed that there are six consensus regions in class I LMW HSPs. RNA blot hybridization for TLHS-1 showed a typical expression pattern of heat-shock-inducible gene from three common tobacco cultivars. The open reading frame of TLHS-1 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. TLHS-1 protein confers thermal protection of other proteins in vitro and in vivo. Thermal induced aggregation of citrate synthase was reduced by purified TLHS-1 protein, and thermal death rate at $50^{\circ}C$ was reduced in E. coli expressing TLHS-l. From these data, we can expect that TLHS-1 acts as a molecular chaperone.perone.

  • We examined the enhancement of thermotolerance for storage conferred on Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC by adaptation to different stresses. The viable cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC were compared with their viability prior to heating at $45,\;55^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$. Heat-adapted ($45^{\circ}C$ for 15 min) L. acidophilus 30SC in MRS broth exhibited higher survivability at lethal temperature of $55^{\circ}C$ than control. Cellular protein profiles of L. acidophilus 30SC during heat adaptation were examined with SDS-PAGE, and scanning electron microscopy. When L. acidophilus 30SC was heat-adapted at $55^{\circ}C$ for 15min, 5 new protein spots of ca $8\~45\;kDa$ size were observed on 2D SDS-PAGE. It was presumed that new proteins of L. acidophilus 30SC were produced to adapt to the environment of higher growth temperature.

  • In this study, we examined the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in fish cell line CHSE-2lnl and human HeLa cells exposed to heat shock. In fish CHSE-214 cells HSP70 was the major polvpeptide induced by an elevated temperature or an amino acid analog, while in HeLa cells HSP90 as well as HSP70 were prominently enhanced in response to these stresses. Pretreatment of actinomvcin D prior to heat shock completely inhibited the induction of fish HSP70, indicating the transcriptional regulation of fish HSP70 gene expression. In HeLa and CHSE-214 cells either recovering from heat shock or experiencing prolonged heat shock, attenuation in the HSP90 a'nd HSP70 induction occurred but both induction and repression of HSP70 synthesis appear 19 precede those of HSP90. Moreover, attenuation did not occur in the syntheses of 40 kDa and 42 kOto proteins which were only induced in CHSE-214 cells. The enhanced syntheses of these he proteins continued as long as CHSE-214 cells were Siven heat shock. These results suggest that down-regulation of HSP syntheses during prolonged heat shock may be controlled by several different. as vet undefined, mechanisms.

  • Heat shock protein gp96 is an endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, belonging to the HSP90 family. The function of gp96 as a molecular chaperone was discovered more than 10 years ago, but its importance has been overshadowed by the brilliance of its role in immune responses. It is now clear that gp96 is instrumental in the initiation of both the innate and adaptive immunity. Recently, the roles of gp96 in protein homeostasis, as well as in cell differentiation and development, are beginning to draw more attention due to rapid development in the structural study of HSP90 and some surprising new discoveries from genetic studies of gp96. In this review, we focus on the aspect of gp96 as an ER molecular chaperone in protein maturation, peptide binding and the regulation of its activity.

  • SCK tumor cells were exposed to heat shock or several sulihydryl-reacting agents such as iodoacetamide(IAA), zinc chloride(Zn), and 2-mercaptoethanol(ME). Stress proteins induced by these agents were examined and the relationship between the induction of stress proteins and the production of abnormal proteins was discussed. Based on the present experiments, two classes of intracellular pathways for the induction of stress proteins were defined; one dependent on and the other independent of protein synthesis. The presence of cycloheximide during the induction period blocked the formation of stress proteins in the cells exposed to Zn or ME, but not in those exposed to heat shock or IAA.Therefore, stress protein seems to be induced either by denaturation of pre-existing mature proteins (e.g., heat shock or IAA) or by newly synthesized abnormal proteins(e.g., Zn or ME). In conclusion, it is ilkely that the production of abnormal proteins by stresses triggers stress protein induction. In addition, it was found that the cells exposed to IISP and GRP inducers simultaneously responded to more strong stress among several stresses encountered.

  • Aim of the study: Thermal stress is a central determinant of osseous surgical outcomes. Interestingly, the temperatures measured during endosseous surgeries coincide with the temperatures that elicit the heat shock response of mammalian cells. The heat shock response is a coordinated biochemical response that helps to protect cells from stresses of various forms. Several protective proteins, termed heat shock proteins (hsp) are produced as part of this response. To begin to understand the role of the stress response of osteoblasts during surgical manipulation of bone, the heat shock protein response was evaluated in osteoblastic cells. Materials & methods: With primary cell culture studies and ROS 17/2.8 osteoblastic cells transfected with hsp27 encoding vectors culture studies, the thermal stress response of mammalian osteoblastic cells was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Results: Immunocytochemistry indicated that hsp27 was present in unstressed osteoblastic cells, but not fibroblastic cells. Primarily cultured osteoblasts and fibroblasts expressed the major hsp in response to thermal stress, however, the small Mr hsp, hsp27 was shown to be a constitutive product only in osteoblasts. Creation of stable transformed osteoblastic cells expressing abundant hsp27 protein was used to demonstrate that hsp27 confers stress resistance to osteoblastic cells. Conclusions: The demonstrable presence and function of hsp27 in cultured bones and cells implicates this protein as a determinant of osteoblastic cell fate in vivo.

  • When NIH3T3 cells were exposed to mild heat and recovered at $37^{\circ}C$ for various time intervals, they were thermotolerant and resistant to subsequent stresses including heat, oxidative stresses, and antitumor drug methotrexate which are apoptotic inducers. The induction kinetics of apoptosis by stresses were determined by DNA fragmentation and protein synthesis using $[35^S]$methionine pulse labeling. We investigated the hypothesis that thermotolerant cells were resistant to apoptotic cell death compared to control cells when both cells were exposed to various stresses inducing apoptosis. The cellular changes in thermotolerant cells were examined to determine which components are involved in this resistance. At first, the degree of resistance correlates with the extent of heat shock protein synthesis which were varied depending on the heating times at $45^{\circ}C$ and recovery times at $37^{\circ}C$after heat shock. Secondly, membrane permeability change was observed in thermotolerant cells. When cells prelabeled with $[^{3}H]$thymidine were exposed to various amounts of heat and recovered at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1/2 to 24 h, the permeability of cytosolic $[^{3}H]$thymidine in thermotolerant cells was 4 fold higher than that in control cells. Thirdly, the protein synthesis rates in thermotolerant and control cells were measured after exposing the cells to the same extent of stress. It turned out that thermotolerant cells were less damaged to same amount of stress than control cells, although the recovery rates are very similar to each other. These results demonstrate that an increase of heat shock proteins and membrane changes in thermotolerant cells may protect the cells from the stresses and increase the resistance to apoptotic cell death, even though the exact mechanism should be further studied.
