Abstract
The heat shock proteins are families of proteins with known activities that include chaperoning nascent peptides within the cell and cytoprotection. Most work on the nervous system has related to the role of heat shock proteins in neuroprotection from either hypoxic-ischemic or traumatic injury. The role of these proteins during normal physiological activity and injury is still under investigation. Heat shock proteins in neuromuscular disease have been investigated to some extent but were largely neglected until recently. The goal of this review is to summarize the evidence linking heat shock proteins with neuromuscular disease and to provide some insight into the roles or functions of these proteins in disease states.

Abstract
Many differentiation programs are accompanied by an increase in small heat shock proteins (sHsps) level. Most of the time transient, this accumulation takes place during the early phase of the process and is correlated with the growth arrest that precedes the differentiation. Important biochemical modifications of sHsps occur, such as changes in phosphorylation and oligomerization. The fact that these proteins are induced independently of the signal that triggers differentiation, of the differentiation type, and of the cell type strongly suggests their involvement in fundamental mechanisms of cellular differentiation. Moreover, impairment of sHsps accumulation leads to abortion of the differentiation program and, subsequently, to a massive commitment to cell death. Recent advances in this field of research are presented as well as the hypothesis that should be tested to unravel the mode of action of these proteins during cellular differentiation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may cause skeletal muscle degeneration in a number of pathological conditions. Small heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been found to confer resistance against ROS in different cell types; however, the importance of their antioxidant function in skeletal muscle cells remains to be determined. In the present study, differentiation of skeletal myoblasts resulted in protection against hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death and protein oxidation. This differentiation-induced resistance to oxidative stress was associated with increased protein expression of HSP25, increased glutathione levels, and glutathione peroxidase activity, but little change in catalase activity. Overexpression of HSP25 in stably transfected myoblasts produced dose-dependent protection against hydrogen peroxide-induced damage that was associated with increased glutathione levels and glutathione peroxidase activity. Inhibition of glutathione synthesis with buthionine sulfoximine abrogated the protection induced by HSP25 overexpression. These findings indicate that HSP25 may play a key role in regulating the glutathione system and resistance to ROS in skeletal muscle cells.

Abstract
We examined the effect of heat stress on localization of two sHsps, alphaB-crystallin and Hsp25, and of Hsc70, a member of a different class of heat shock proteins (Hsps), in both undifferentiated and differentiated mouse C2C12 cells. Under normal conditions, alphaB-crystallin and Hsp25 are found in the cytoplasm; only alphaB-crystallin is also found in the nucleus, distributed in a speckled pattern. Hsc70 is found to be homogeneously distributed throughout the cell. On heat stress, all these proteins translocate almost entirely into the nucleus and upon recovery relocate to the cytoplasm. Dual staining experiments using C2C12 myoblasts show that alphaB-crystallin and Hsp25, but not Hsc70, colocalize with the intranuclear lamin A/C and the splicing factor SC-35, suggesting interactions of sHsps and intranuclear lamin A/C. Interestingly, none of these proteins are found in the myotube nuclei. Upon heat stress, only Hsc70 translocates into the myotube nuclei. This differential entry of alphaB-crystallin and Hsp25 into the nuclei of myoblasts and myotubes upon heat stress may have functional role in the development and/or in the maintenance of muscle cells. Our study therefore suggests that these sHsps may be a part of the intranuclear lamin A/C network or stabilizing this specific network.

Abstract
Burn injury elicits a wide range of intracellular signaling events leading to alterations in phenotypes of distant organs. Renal dysfunction is one of several serious postburn complications. To better understand the underlying mechanisms of renal dysfunction among burn patients, we investigated alterations in the expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps) and cell cycle-associated proteins in the kidney after burn. Following an approximately 18% total body surface area burn, blood and kidney samples were harvested from mice at several time points. Serum levels of blood urea nitrogen increased significantly at 3 h and returned to basal levels at Day 1 implying a transient dysfunction of glomerular filtration. The expression of Hsp25 was increased at Day 1, whereas no changes in Hsp70 expression were observed. An increase in proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a marker of cell proliferation, peaked at Day 3, and its expression was predominantly limited to cells appearing to be tubular epithelial cells in the cortex. In contrast, no significant alterations in the p21 mitosis inhibitor were noted. Furthermore, increases in histones H1 and H2A at Day 3 paralleled the PCNA induction suggesting a burn-mediated alteration in cell cycle activities. The results from this study suggest that a sizeable burn may trigger sequential activation of signaling events involved in the early pathogenesis and subsequent recovery of the kidney after burn.

Abstract
Cadmium is a widely distributed industrial and environmental toxin. The principal target organ of chronic sublethal cadmium exposure is the kidney. In renal epithelial cells, acute high-dose cadmium exposure induces differential expression of proteins, including heat shock proteins. However, few studies have examined heat shock protein expression in cells after prolonged exposure to cadmium at sublethal concentrations. Here, we assayed total cell protein, neutral red uptake, cell death, and levels of metallothionein and heat shock proteins Hsp27 and inducible Hsp70 in cultures of MDCK and LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells treated with cadmium for 3 days. Treatment with cadmium at concentrations equal to or greater than 10 microM (LLC-PK1) or 25 microM (MDCK) reduced measures of cell vitality and induced cell death. However, a concentration-dependent increase in Hsp27 was detected in both cell types treated with as little as 5 microM cadmium. Accumulation of Hsp70 was correlated only with cadmium treatment at concentrations also causing cell death. Metallothionein was maximally detected in cells treated with cadmium at concentrations that did not reduce cell vitality, and further increases were not detected at greater concentrations. These results reveal that heat shock proteins accumulate in renal epithelial cells during prolonged cadmium exposure, that cadmium induces differential expression of heat shock protein in epithelial cells, and that protein expression patterns in epithelial cells are specific to the cadmium concentration and degree of cellular injury. A potential role for Hsp27 in the cellular response to sublethal cadmium-induced injury is also implicated by our results.

Abstract
A missense mutation (R120G) of the molecular chaperone alpha B-crystallin has recently been linked to a familial form of desmin-related myopathy characterized by intrasarcoplasmic aggregates of desmin. It was previously demonstrated that the mutant R120G had a defective chaperone-like function. However, the cellular and physiopathological consequences of R120G mutant expression in human muscle cells are as yet unclear. Thus, we developed a cellular model for the study of this R120G alpha B-crystallin-related desmin-related myopathy. We demonstrate that dexamethasone enhances alpha B-crystallin and HSP27 expression in normal and desmin-related myopathy-derived muscle cells. In the undifferentiated desmin-related myopathy satellite cell population no intracytoplasmic aggregates were observed. However, in differentiated satellite cells derived from a related myopathy patient, we observed an enhanced plasma membrane localization of alpha B-crystallin following glucocorticoid. We also observed that the protective effect against stress of alpha B-crystallin is altered upon glucocorticoid-induced small heat shock protein expression for the desmin-related myopathy-derived cells.

Abstract
Terminal differentiation of muscle cells follows a precisely orchestrated program of transcriptional regulatory events at the promoters of both muscle-specific and ubiquitous genes. Two distinct families of transcriptional co-activators, GCN5/PCAF and CREB-binding protein (CBP)/p300, are crucial to this process. While both possess histone acetyl-transferase (HAT) activity, previous studies have failed to identify a requirement for CBP/p300 HAT function in myogenic differentiation. We have addressed this issue directly using a chemical inhibitor of CBP/p300 in addition to a negative transdominant mutant. Our results clearly demonstrate that CBP/p300 HAT activity is critical for myogenic terminal differentiation. Furthermore, this requirement is restricted to a subset of events in the differentiation program: cell fusion and specific gene expression. These data help to define the requirements for enzymatic function of distinct coactivators at different stages of the muscle cell differentiation program.
