Basal and heat shock-induced mRNA expression patterns of major heat shock protein (HSP) genes, including those encoding heat shock protein (HSP) 90, HSP70, HSP70-12A, heat shock inducible protein 70 (HSIP70), heat shock binding protein 1 (HSPBP1), HSP60, and HSP40 were examined in the gill and hepatopancreas of 1-year-old diploid and triploid abalone Haliotis discus hannai juveniles. Under non-stimulated conditions at 19℃, triploid abalones displayed, in general, higher mRNA levels of various HSPs (HSP70, HSIP70, HSPBP1, HSP70-12A, and HSP60 in the gill and HSIP70, HSPBP1, and HSP60 in the hepatopancreas) than did communally cultured diploids. Conversely, only the hepatopancreatic expression of HSP70-12A was higher in diploids than in triploids. However, the fold changes in gene expression in response to an acute thermal challenge (elevation from 19 to 30℃) were generally greater in diploids than in triploids, such that the difference in basal expression was diminished, weakened, or even reversed after heat shock treatment. However, unlike other HSP genes, the basal expression of HSP60 (higher in 3N) was more pronounced after heat shock treatment. Collectively, the results of this study suggest that triploid abalones have different capacities for not only basal expression but also the heat-induced expression of HSPs in an HSP member-dependent manner.

Due to considerably high degree of sequence homology between bacterial and human heat shock proteins(hsp), it has been widely thought that this protein might be involved in autoimmune disease mechanisms in humans. To elucidate how stress proteins contribute in the immunopathogenesis of periodontitis, the present study was performed to evaluate the T cell immune responses specific to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) heat shock protein (hsp)60 and T-cell epitope specificities for P. gingivalis hsp60 in periodontitis. Anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titers were elevated in all patients. We could establish P. gingivalis hsp-specific T cell ines from the peripheral blood of peridontitis, a mixture of $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ cells. Of 108 overlapping synthetic peptides spanning whole P. gingivalis hsp60 moleculc, ten peptides with cpitopes specifities for T-cell were showed. Interestingly, ten epitopes were also identified as T-cell epitopes in the present study as well as B-cell epitopes in peridontitis. Therefore, all the ten representative epitopes were designated as common T-and B-cell epitopes for peridontitis. It is critical in developing a peptide vaccine strategy for potential prevention of periodontitis. It was concluded that P. gingivalis hsp60 might be involved in the immunoregulatory process of periodontitis with heat shock protein specificities.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 90, 70, and 60 in chicken muscles and their possible relationship with quality traits of meat. Methods: The breast muscles from one hundred broiler chickens were analyzed for drip loss and other quality parameters, and the levels of heat shock protein (HSP) 90, 70, and 60 were determined by immunoblots. Results: Based on the data, chicken breast muscles were segregated into low (drip loss${\leq}5%$), intermediate (5%${\geq}9.5$) drip loss groups. The expression of HSP90 and HSP60 were significantly lower in the high drip loss group compared to that in the low and intermediate drip loss group (p<0.05), while HSP70 was equivalent in abundance in all groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study suggests that higher levels of HSP90 and HSP60 may be advantageous for maintenance of cell function and reduction of water loss, and they could act as potential indicator for better water holding capacity of meat.

The present study has been performed to evaluate Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) heat shock protein(HSP)60 as a candidate vaccine to inhibit multiple bacteria-induced alveolar bone loss. Rats were immunized with P.gingivalis HSP60 and experimental alveolar bone loss was induced by infection with multiple periodonto -pathogenic bacteria. Post-immune rat anti-P.gingivalis HSP IgG levels were significantly elevated and have demonstrated highly significant inverse relationship with the amount of alveolar bone loss induced by multiple bacteria. Results from PCR detection of subgingival bacterial plaque indicated that the vaccine successfully eradicated the multiple pathogenic species. We concluded that P.gingivalis HSP60 could potentially be developed as a vaccine to inhibit periodontal disease induced by multiple pathogenic bacteria.

Heat shock ($43^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes) is sufficient to induce apoptosis in a wide number of cell lines. In this study, we asked whether DNA strand breaks are responsible for this phenomenon. Using the highly sensitive comet assay for DNA damage detection, we were unable to demonstrate DNA breaks immediately after heat shock in Raji human Iymphoid cells. It showed that DNA breaks were not necessary for hyperthermic apoptosis, since its activity is indicative of DNA lesions. Here, we present a suggestion that a protein(s) is the major target for heat shock apoptosis. We firstly found glycerol, which reportedly stabilizes protein structure, showed a protective effect in Raji cells against hyperthermic apoptosis. In addition, quercetin, which modulates transcription of the heat shock protein family members, enhanced apoptotic death induced by hyperthermia. Furthermore, Raji cells are protected by a pre-mild heat treatment prior to the killing dose of heat shock.

Probiotics로서의 활성이 높은 Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC의 생존성을 증진시키기 위한 기초 자료를 얻고자, heat shock stress를 가한 후 생균수를 측정하고, 생존율의 변화를 통해 고온 처리에 의한 고온 및 냉동 내성의 증진 효과를 평가하였다. 또한 열처리 동안 새로이 발현되는 단백질을 1차원 및 2차원 전기영동을 이용하여 확인하였으며, 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 세포 모양을 관찰하였다. L. acidophilus 30SC는 $55^{\circ}C$의 heat shock stress를 받았을 때 생존 균수가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 나머지 처리구는 $37^{\circ}C$에서 계속 배양한 것과 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 특히 $45^{\circ}C$로 heat shock stress를 준 경우 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 것과 거의 동일하였다. L. acidophilus 30SC에 $45^{\circ}C$로 heat shock stress를 가한 뒤 추가로 55 및 $60^{\circ}C$에 노출시켰을 때 가장 높은 생존율을 나타냈고, 치사 수준인 $55^{\circ}C$의 heat shock stress를 받은 후 $55^{\circ}C$ 및 $60^{\circ}C$에 노출되었을 때 생존율이 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. L. acidophilus 30SC에 $55^{\circ}C$로 15분 Heat shock stress를 준 경우 약 22와 25 kDa의 단백질들이 새로이 발현된 것으로 나타났으나, 24와 27 kDa로 추정되는 단백질의 발현 정도는 낮았음을 확인하였다. 2차원 전기영동을 실시한 결과, $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 대조구와 비교할 때 $55^{\circ}C$로 heat shock stress를 준 경우 새로이 5개의 protein spot을 발견할 수 있었다. 주사전자현미경으로 세포의 형태를 관찰한 결과 heat shock stress를 준 경우에는 세포의 길이가 신장되는 경향을 나타내었다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to define the immunoreactive specificity of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) heat shock protein (HSP) 60 in periodontitis and atherosclerosis. Methods: In an attempt to define the cross-reactive bacterial heat-shock protein with human self-antigen at molecular level, we have introduced a novel strategy for cloning hybridoma producing anti-P. gingivalis HSP 60 which is polyreactive to bacterial HSPs or to the human homolog. Results: Five cross-reactive clones were obtained which recognized the #19 peptide (TLVVNRLRGSLKICAVKAPG) among 37 synthetic peptides (20-mer, 5 amino acids overlapping) spanning the whole molecule of P. gingivalis HSP 60. We have also established three anti-P. gingivalis HSP 60 monoclonal antibodies demonstrating mono-specificity. These clones recognized the #29 peptide (TVPGGGTTYIRAIAALEGLK). Conclusions: Peptide #19 and #29 of P. gingivalis HSP 60 might be important immunoreactive epitopes in the immuno-pathogenic mechanism of bacterial antigen-triggered autoimmune diseases.

Methylovorus sp. strain SS1 DSM 11726 was found to grow continuously when it was transferred from 30$\^{C}$ to 40$\^{C}$ and 43$\^{C}$. A shift in growth temperature from 30$\^{C}$ to 45$\^{C}$, 47$\^{C}$ and 50$\^{C}$ reduced the viability of the cell population by more than 10$^2$, 10$^3$and 10$\^$5/ folds, respectively, after 1h cultivation. Cells transferred to 47$\^{C}$ and 50$\^{C}$ after preincubation for 15 min at 43$\^{C}$, however, exhibited 10-fold increase in viability. It was found that incubation for 15 min at 40$\^{C}$ of Methylovorus sp. strain SSl grown at 30$\^{C}$ was sufficient to accelerate the synthesis of a specific subset of proteins. The major heat shock proteins had apparent molecular masses of 90, 70, 66, 60, and 58 kDA. The 60 and 58 kDa proteins were found to cross-react with the antiserum raised against GroEL protein. The heat shock response persisted for over 1h. The shock proteins were stable for 90 min in the cell. Exposure of the cells to methanol induced proteins identical to the heat shock proteins. Addition of ethanol induced a unique protein with a molecular mass of about 40 kDa in addition to the heat-induced proteins. The proteins induced in paraquat-treated cells were different from the heat shock proteins, except the 70 and 60 kDa proteins.

Objective : Heat shock protein family is related to protective mechanism of cells by environmental changes. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of cryopreservation on the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) expression in mouse ovarian tissue. Methods : Cryopreservation of mouse ovarian tissue was carried out by slow freezing method. The mRNA level of Hsp90 expression in both fresh and cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue was analyzed by RT-PCR. The protein expression of Hsp90 was evaluated by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Results: The mRNA and protein of Hsp90 were expressed in both fresh and cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue. The amount of Hsp90 mRNA was increased in cryopreserved ovarian tissue after 60 and 90 minutes after thawing and incubation. The amount of Hsp90 protein was increased in the cryopreserved ovarian tissue after 6 hours of the incubation in Western blot analysis. In immunohistochemical study, Hsp90 protein was localized in cytoplasm of oocytes and granulosa cells. Significant level of immunoreactive Hsp90 protein was detected in theca cells contrast to the weak expression in ovarian epithelial cells. Conclusion: This results showed the increase of Hsp90 expression in both mRNA and protein level in the cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue. It can be suggested that Hsp90 may play a role in the protective or recovery mechanism against the cell damage during cryopreservaion.
