Abstract
The 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) is thought to protect the brain from a variety of insults. Although the mechanism has been largely limited to its chaperone functions, recent work indicates that Hsp70 also modulates inflammatory pathways. Brain injury and ischemia are associated with an immune response that is largely innate. Hsp70 appears to suppress this response and lead to improved neurological outcome. However, most of this work has relied on the use of genetic mutant models or Hsp70 overexpression using gene transfer or heat stress, thus limiting its translational utility. A few compounds have been studied by various disciplines which, through their ability to inhibit Hsp90, can cause induction of Hsp70. The investigation of Hsp70-inducing pharmacological compounds has obvious clinical implications in terms of potential therapies to mitigate neuroinflammation and lead to neuroprotection from stroke or traumatic brain injury. This review will focus on the inflammation modulating properties of Hsp70, and the current literature surrounding the pharmacological induction in acute neurological injury models with comments on potential applications at the clinical level.

Abstract
NF-κB transcription factor regulates numerous genes important for inflammation, immune responses and cell survival. HSF1 is the primary transcription factor activated under stress conditions that is responsible for induction of genes encoding heat shock proteins. Previous studies have shown that the NF-κB activation pathway is blocked by heat shock possibly involving heat shock proteins. Here, we investigate whether active HSF1 inhibited this pathway in the absence of stress conditions. Activation of the NF-κB pathway and expression of NF-κB-dependent genes were analyzed in TNFα-stimulated U-2 OS human osteosarcoma cells that were either heat-shocked or engineered to express a constitutively active form of HSF1 in the absence of heat shock. As expected, heat shock resulted in a general blockade in the degradation of the IκBα inhibitor, nuclear translocation of NF-κB and expression of NF-κB-dependent target genes. In marked contrast, the presence of constitutively active HSF1 did not block TNFα-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway or expression of a set of the NF-κB-dependent genes. We conclude that in the absence of heat shock, the NF-κB activation pathway is inhibited by neither active HSF1 transcription factor nor by increased levels of HSF1-induced heat shock proteins.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease which is characterized by absolute or relative deficiencies in insulin secretion and/or insulin action. The key roles of oxidative stress and inflammation in the progression of vascular complications of this disease are well recognized. Accumulating epidemiologic evidence confirms that physical inactivity is an independent risk factor for insulin resistance and type II diabetes. This paper briefly reviews the pathophysiological pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in diabetes mellitus and then discusses the impact of exercise on these systems. In this regard, we discuss exercise induced activation of cellular antioxidant systems through “nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor.” We also discuss anti-inflammatory myokines, which are produced and released by contracting muscle fibers. Antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory and chaperon effects of exercise-induced heat shock proteins are also reviewed.

Abstract
Elevated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion participates in the pathology of several age and inflammatory-related diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), in which retinal pigment epithelial cells are the key target. Recent findings reveal that heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) may affect regulation of NF-κB. In the current study, effects of Hsp70 expression on NF-κB RelA/p65 activity were evaluated in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) by using celastrol, a novel anti-inflammatory compound. Anti-inflammatory properties of celastrol were determined by measuring expression levels of IL-6 and endogenous NF-κB levels during lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Cell viability was measured by MTT and LDH assay, and Hsp70 expression levels were analyzed by Western blotting. ARPE-19 cells were transfected with hsp70 small interfering RNA (siRNA) in order to attenuate Hsp70 expression and activity of NF-κB RelA/p65 was measured using NF-κB consensus bound ELISA. Simultaneous exposures to LPS and celastrol reduced IL-6 expression levels as well as activity of phosphorylated NF-κB at serine 536 (Ser536) in ARPE-19 cells when compared to LPS exposure alone. In addition, inhibition of NF-κB RelA/p65 activity by celastrol was attenuated when Hsp70 response was silenced by siRNA. Favorable anti-inflammatory concentrations of celastrol showed no signs of cytotoxic response. Our findings reveal that celastrol is a novel plant compound which suppresses innate immunity response in human retinal pigment epithelial cells via NF-κB and Hsp70 regulation, and that Hsp70 is a critical regulator of NF-κB.

Abstract
The midgut is the major organ for food digestion, nutrient absorption and also a barrier for foreign substance. The 5th-instar larval stage of silkworm is very important for larval growth, development, and silk production. In the present study, we used 2-DE and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) to analyze the midgut proteins from the 5th-instar larvae as well as the midgut proteins under starvation condition. A total of 96 proteins were identified in this study; and among them, 69 proteins were observed in midgut for the first time. We also found that the silkworm larval midgut responded to starvation by producing a 10 kDa heat shock protein and a diapause hormone precursor.

Abstract
Integrative physiology studies have shown that immune system and central nervous system interplay very closely towards behavioural modulation. Since the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70s), whose heavy expression during exercise is well documented in the skeletal muscle and other tissues, is also extremely well conserved in nature during all evolutionary periods of species, it is conceivable that HSP70s might participate of physiologic responses such as fatigue induced by some types of physical exercise. In this way, increased circulating levels of extracellular HSP70 (eHSP70) could be envisaged as an immunomodulatory mechanism induced by exercise, besides other chemical messengers (e.g. cytokines) released during an exercise effort, that are able to binding a number of receptors in neural cells. Studies from this laboratory led us to believe that increased levels of eHSP70 in the plasma during exercise and the huge release of eHSP70 from lymphocytes during high-load exercise bouts may participate in the fatigue sensation, also acting as a danger signal from the immune system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism underlying the appearance of a 20-kd HSP70 fragment and its consequences in the ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients. DESIGN Experimental study. SETTING Research institute and obstetrics and gynecology clinic. PATIENT(S) Participants with (n = 18) and without (n = 20) endometriosis. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, protease assays, and in silico tools were used to investigate the origin of the 20-kd HSP70 fragment. Immunocolocalization studies were carried out to determine whether subtilisin/kexin isozyme 1 (SKI-1) and HSP70 are colocalized. Expression and localization of surrogate markers of inflammation, such as nuclear factor NF-κB and interleukin IL-6 were examined by immunoblotting and in situ studies. RESULT(S) HSP70 is posttranslationally processed into a 20-kd fragment by SKI-1, a protease of the subtilisin family, in ectopic endometrium (ECE). Immunocolocalization studies revealed spatial proximity of SKI-1 and HSP70 in ECE. Furthermore, ECE demonstrated nuclear localization of the transcription factor, NF-κB and high expression of its target protein, IL-6. CONCLUSION(S) This study hints at the possible mechanisms underlying the trimming of HSP70 in ECE and also at the role of proteases in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The possible repercussions of HSP70 fragmentation include dysregulation of key regulatory proteins, resulting in the escalation of inflammatory events in endometriotic lesions.

Abstract
Sepsis is primarily a disease of the aged, with increased incidence and mortality occurring in aged hosts. Heat shock protein (HSP) 70 plays an important role in both healthy aging and the stress response to injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of HSP70 in mediating mortality and the host inflammatory response in aged septic hosts. Sepsis was induced in both young (6- to 12-wk-old) and aged (16- to 17-mo-old) HSP70(-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice to determine whether HSP70 modulated outcome in an age-dependent fashion. Young HSP70(-/-) and WT mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture, Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia, or Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia had no differences in mortality, suggesting HSP70 does not mediate survival in young septic hosts. In contrast, mortality was higher in aged HSP70(-/-) mice than aged WT mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (p = 0.01), suggesting HSP70 mediates mortality in sepsis in an age-dependent fashion. Compared with WT mice, aged septic HSP70(-/-) mice had increased gut epithelial apoptosis and pulmonary inflammation. In addition, HSP70(-/-) mice had increased systemic levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1β compared with WT mice. These data demonstrate that HSP70 is a key determinant of mortality in aged, but not young hosts in sepsis. HSP70 may play a protective role in an age-dependent response to sepsis by preventing excessive gut apoptosis and both pulmonary and systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Oridonin is the main bioactive constituent of the Chinese medicinal herb Isodon rubescens and has been shown to have anti-neoplastic effects against a number of cancers in vitro and in vivo. Here we report the proteomic identification of proteins involved in the anticancer properties of oridonin in hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. Cell viability assay showed that oridonin dose-dependently inhibited cell growth with an IC(50) of 41.77μM. Treatment with oridonin at 44μM for 24h induced apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest, which were associated with nine differentially expressed proteins identified by proteomic analysis. The proteomic expression patterns of Hsp70.1, Sti1 and hnRNP-E1 were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR and/or immunoblotting. Eight of the nine identified proteins are shown, for the first time, to be involved in the anticancer activities of oridonin. Up-regulation of Hsp70.1, STRAP, TCTP, Sti1 and PPase, as well as the down-regulation of hnRNP-E1 could be responsible for the apoptotic and G2/M-arresting effects of oridonin observed in this study. Up-regulation of HP1 beta and GlyRS might contribute to inhibitory effects of oridonin on telomerase and tyrosine kinase, respectively. These findings shed new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer properties of oridonin in liver cancer cells.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a powerful chaperone whose expression is induced in response to a wide variety of physiological and environmental insults, including anticancer chemotherapy, thus allowing the cell to survive to lethal conditions. Hsp70 cytoprotective properties may be explained by its anti-apoptotic function. Indeed, this protein can inhibit key effectors of the apoptotic machinery at the pre- and postmitochondrial level. In cancer cells, the expression of Hsp70 is abnormally high, and Hsp70 may participate in oncogenesis and in resistance to chemotherapy. In rodent models, Hsp70 overexpression increases tumor growth and metastatic potential. Depletion or inhibition of Hsp70 frequently reduces the size of the tumors and even can cause their complete involution. But Hsp70 can also be found in the extracellular medium. Its role is then immunogenic and the term chaperokine to define the extracellular chaperones has been advanced. Hsp70 tumorigenic functions as well as the strategies that are being developed in cancer therapy in order to inhibit Hsp70 are commented in this chapter.

Abstract
Microglial activation is an early response to brain ischemia and many other stressors. Microglia continuously monitor and respond to changes in brain homeostasis and to specific signaling molecules expressed or released by neighboring cells. These signaling molecules, including ATP, glutamate, cytokines, prostaglandins, zinc, reactive oxygen species, and HSP60, may induce microglial proliferation and migration to the sites of injury. They also induce a nonspecific innate immune response that may exacerbate acute ischemic injury. This innate immune response includes release of reactive oxygen species, cytokines, and proteases. Microglial activation requires hours to days to fully develop, and thus presents a target for therapeutic intervention with a much longer window of opportunity than acute neuroprotection. Effective agents are now available for blocking both microglial receptor activation and the microglia effector responses that drive the inflammatory response after stroke. Effective agents are also available for targeting the signal transduction mechanisms linking these events. However, the innate immune response can have beneficial as well deleterious effects on outcome after stoke, and a challenge will be to find ways to selectively suppress the deleterious effects of microglial activation after stroke without compromising neurovascular repair and remodeling.

Abstract
Brief forebrain ischemia is a model of the delayed hippocampal neuronal loss seen in patients following cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Previous studies demonstrated that selective dysfunction of hippocampal CA1 subregion astrocytes occurs hours to days before delayed neuronal death. In this study we tested the strategy of directing protection to astrocytes to protect neighboring neurons from forebrain ischemia. Two well-studied protective proteins, heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) or superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), were genetically targeted for expression in astrocytes using the astrocyte-specific human glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter. The expression constructs were injected stereotacticly immediately above the hippocampal CA1 region on one side of the rat brain two days prior to forebrain ischemia. Cell type specific expression was confirmed by double label immunohistochemistry. When the expression constructs were injected two days before transient forebrain ischemia, the loss of CA1 hippocampal neurons observed seven days later was significantly reduced on the injected side compared with controls. This neuroprotection was associated with significantly better preservation of astrocyte glutamate transporter-1 immunoreactivity at 5-h reperfusion and reduced oxidative stress. Improving the resistance of astrocytes to ischemic stress by targeting either the cytosolic or mitochondrial compartment was thus associated with preservation of CA1 neurons following forebrain ischemia. Targeting astrocytes is a promising strategy for neuronal preservation following cardiac arrest and resuscitation.

Abstract
Molecular studies in model organisms have identified potent longevity genes which can delay the aging process and extend the lifespan. Longevity factors promote stress resistance and cellular survival. It seems that the aging process itself is not genetically programmed but a random process involving the loss of molecular fidelity and subsequent accumulation of waste products. This age-related increase in cellular entropy is compatible with the disposable soma theory of aging. A large array of host defence systems has been linked to the NF-kappaB system which is an ancient signaling pathway specialized to host defence, e.g. functioning in immune system. Emerging evidence demonstrates that the NF-kappaB system is activated during aging. Oxidative stress and DNA damage increase with aging and elicit a sustained activation of the NF-kappaB system which has negative consequences, e.g. chronic inflammatory response, increase in apoptotic resistance, decline in autophagic cleansing, and tissue atrophy, i.e. processes that enhance the aging process. We will discuss the role of NF-kappaB system in the pro-aging signaling and will emphasize that several longevity factors seem to be inhibitors of NF-kappaB signaling and in that way they can suppress the NF-kappaB-driven entropic host defence catastrophe.

Abstract
BAG3, a member of the BAG family of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 cochaperones, is expressed in response to stressful stimuli in a number of normal cell types and constitutively in a variety of tumors, including pancreas carcinomas, lymphocytic and myeloblastic leukemias, and thyroid carcinomas. Down-regulation of BAG3 results in cell death, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of BAG3-dependent survival in human osteosarcoma (SAOS-2) and melanoma (M14) cells. We show that bag3 overexpression in tumors promotes survival through the NF-kappaB pathway. Indeed, we demonstrate that BAG3 alters the interaction between HSP70 and IKKgamma, increasing availability of IKKgamma and protecting it from proteasome-dependent degradation; this, in turn, results in increased NF-kappaB activity and survival. These results identify bag3 as a potential target for anticancer therapies in those tumors in which this gene is constitutively expressed. As a proof of principle, we show that treatment of a mouse xenograft tumor model with bag3siRNA-adenovirus that down-regulates bag3 results in reduced tumor growth and increased animal survival.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic presence of Hsp60, which is principally a nuclear gene-encoded mitochondrial chaperonin, has frequently been stated, but its role in intracellular signaling is largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that the cytosolic Hsp60 promotes the TNF-alpha-mediated activation of the IKK/NF-kappaB survival pathway via direct interaction with IKKalpha/beta in the cytoplasm. Selective loss or blockade of cytosolic Hsp60 by specific antisense oligonucleotide or neutralizing antibody diminished the IKK/NF-kappaB activation and the expression of NF-kappaB target genes, such as Bfl-1/A1 and MnSOD, which thus augmented intracellular ROS production and ASK1-dependent cell death, in response to TNF-alpha. Conversely, the ectopic expression of cytosol-targeted Hsp60 enhanced IKK/NF-kappaB activation. Mechanistically, the cytosolic Hsp60 enhanced IKK activation via upregulating the activation-dependent serine phosphorylation in a chaperone-independent manner. Furthermore, transgenic mouse study showed that the cytosolic Hsp60 suppressed hepatic cell death induced by diethylnitrosamine in vivo. The cytosolic Hsp60 is likely to be a regulatory component of IKK complex and it implicates the first mitochondrial factor that regulates cell survival via NF-kappaB pathway.

Abstract
Blood gene expression profiles of very brief (5 and 10 mins) focal ischemia that simulates transient ischemic attacks in humans were compared with ischemic stroke (120 mins focal ischemia), sham, and naïve controls. The number of significantly regulated genes after 5 and 10 mins of cerebral ischemia was 39 and 160, respectively (fold change >/=mid R:1.5mid R: and P<0.05). There were 103 genes common to brief focal ischemia and ischemic stroke. Ingenuity pathway analysis showed that genes regulated in the 5 mins group were mainly involved in small molecule biochemistry. Genes regulated in the 10 mins group were involved in cell death, development, growth, and proliferation. Such genes were also regulated in the ischemic stroke group. Genes common to ischemia were involved in the inflammatory response, immune response, and cell death-indicating that these pathways are a feature of focal ischemia, regardless of the duration. These results provide evidence that brief focal ischemia differentially regulates gene expression in the peripheral blood in a manner that could distinguish brief focal ischemia from ischemic stroke and controls in rats. We postulate that this will also occur in humans.

Abstract
Electrophilic fatty acid derivatives, including nitrolinoleic acid and nitro-oleic acid (OA-NO(2)), can mediate anti-inflammatory and pro-survival signaling reactions. The transcription factor Nrf2, activated by electrophilic fatty acids, suppresses redox-sensitive pro-inflammatory gene expression and protects against vascular endothelial oxidative injury. It was therefore postulated that activation of Nrf2 by OA-NO(2) accounts in part for its anti-inflammatory actions, motivating the characterization of Nrf2-dependent and -independent effects of OA-NO(2) on gene expression using genome-wide transcriptional profiling. Control and Nrf2-small interfering RNA-transfected human endothelial cells were treated with vehicle, oleic acid, or OA-NO(2), and differential gene expression profiles were determined. Although OA-NO(2) significantly induced the expression of Nrf2-dependent genes, including heme oxygenase-1 and glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit, the majority of OA-NO(2)-regulated genes were regulated by Nrf2-independent pathways. Moreover, gene set enrichment analysis revealed that the heat shock response is the major pathway activated by OA-NO(2), with robust induction of a number of heat shock genes regulated by the heat shock transcription factor. Inasmuch as the heat shock response mediates anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective actions, this mechanism is proposed to contribute to the protective cell signaling functions of nitro-fatty acids and other electrophilic fatty acid derivatives.

Abstract
Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is involved in multiple aspects of oncogenesis and controls cancer cell survival by promoting anti-apoptotic gene expression. The constitutive activation of NF-kappaB in several types of cancers, including hematological malignancies, has been implicated in the resistance to chemo- and radiation therapy. We have previously reported that cytokine- or virus-induced NF-kappaB activation is inhibited by chemical and physical inducers of the heat shock response (HSR). In this study we show that heat stress inhibits constitutive NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity in different types of B-cell malignancies, including multiple myeloma, activated B-cell-like (ABC) type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt's lymphoma presenting aberrant NF-kappaB regulation. Heat-induced NF-kappaB inhibition leads to rapid downregulation of the anti-apoptotic protein cellular inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP-2), followed by activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of the caspase-3 substrate poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose)polymerase (PARP), causing massive apoptosis under conditions that do not affect viability in cells not presenting NF-kappaB aberrations. NF-kappaB inhibition by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and by short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference results in increased sensitivity of HS-Sultan B-cell lymphoma to hyperthermic stress. Altogether, the results indicate that aggressive B-cell malignancies presenting constitutive NF-kappaB activity are sensitive to heat-induced apoptosis, and suggest that aberrant NF-kappaB regulation may be a marker of heat stress sensitivity in cancer cells.

Abstract
We previously showed that exposure to febrile-range temperatures (FRT, 39.5-40 degrees C) reduces LPS-induced TNF-alpha expression, in part through the direct interaction of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) with the TNF-alpha gene promoter. However, it is not known whether exposure to FRT also modifies more proximal LPS-induced signaling events. Using HSF1-null mice, we confirmed that HSF1 is required for FRT-induced repression of TNF-alpha in vitro by LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages and in vivo in mice challenged intratracheally with LPS. Exposing LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages to FRT reduced TNF-alpha expression while increasing IL-1beta expression despite the two genes sharing a common myeloid differentiation protein-88 (MyD88)-dependent pathway. Global activation of the three LPS-induced signaling intermediates that lead to cytokine gene expression, ERK and p38 MAPKs and NF-kappaB, was not affected by exposing RAW 264.7 cells to FRT as assessed by ERK and p38 phosphorylation and NF-kappaB in vitro DNA-binding activity and activation of a NF-kappaB-dependent synthetic promoter. However, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis demonstrated that exposure to FRT reduced LPS-induced recruitment of NF-kappaB p65 to the TNF-alpha promoter while simultaneously increasing its recruitment to the IL-1beta promoter. These data suggest that FRT exerts its effects on cytokine gene expression in a gene-specific manner through distal effects on promoter activation rather than proximal receptor activation and signal transduction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a well-known anti-apoptotic protein that blocks multiple steps in the stress-induced apoptotic pathway. Enhanced Hsp70 expression has previously been demonstrated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). The authors investigated the role of Hsp70 in the survival of RA FLSs in a sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-treated environment. METHODS Targeted knock-down of Hsp70 was performed by RNA interference in RA FLSs at passage 3-7. After SNP treatment, the morphological features of apoptosis were observed by phase-contrast microscopy. Cell survival was measured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assays and by flow cytometric analysis after propidium iodide (PI) staining. Bcl-2 expression and signaling pathways (Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase) were examined with or without Hsp70 downregulation. RESULTS Hsp70 downregulation in RA FLSs, induced by small interfering RNA (siRNA), was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. When treated with SNP, Hsp70 downregulated cells showed markedly less cell blebbing, cytoplasmic condensation, and nuclear shrinkage than non-downregulated control cells. Furthermore, Hsp70 downregulated cells were found to survive better than control cells in MTT assays (mean of absorbance ratio, 4.39 in target cells versus 1.00 in control siRNA-treated cells versus 1.09 in lipofectamine-treated cells, P = 0.001) and according to PI staining results (mean M1 ratio, 0.21 in target cells versus 1.00 in control siRNA-treated cells versus 1.03 in lipofectamine-treated cells, P = 0.001). Bcl-2 expression and Akt phosphorylation were higher in Hsp70 downregulated RA FLSs than in control cells. When cells were treated with LY294002, a potent phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, Akt phosphorylation and Bcl-2 levels were reduced and Hsp70 downregulation no longer had a cytoprotective effect. CONCLUSIONS Knock-down of Hsp70 protects RA FLSs from nitric oxide-induced apoptosis by activating the Akt signaling pathway. These results suggest that Hsp70 has a pro-apoptotic role in RA FLSs.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) plays a major role in immune responses. Polymorphisms within the gene have been associated with development of septic shock. This study refines the region of the HSP70 gene associated with development of septic shock and confirms its functionality. Subjects (n = 31) were grouped into one of three haplotypes based on their HSPA1B-179C>T and HSPA1B1267A>G genotypes. Mononuclear cells from these subjects were stimulated with heat-killed bacteria (10(7 )colony-forming units/mL Escherichia coli or Streptococcus pneumoniae) for 8 and 21 h. HSP70 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) mRNA and protein levels were measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and ELISA, respectively. The HSPA1B-179*C:1267*A haplotype was associated with significantly lower levels of HSPA1B mRNA and protein and higher production of TNF mRNA and protein compared to the other haplotypes. Induction of HSP70 was TNF independent. These results suggest that the HSPA1B-179C>T:1267A>G haplotype is functional and may explain the association of the HSP70 gene with development of septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM It is reported that NF-kappaB is activated by chemotherapy in some cancer cell lines and NF-kappaB activation is one of the mechanisms by which tumors are induced to become resistant to chemotherapy. We reported that heat-treatment-induced heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) could inhibit I-kappa-B kinase, resulting in the inhibition of NF-kappaB activation. Therefore, we speculated that activated NF-kappaB in a pancreatic cell line might be inhibited by heat treatment, resulting in the enhancement of gemcitabine-induced cytotoxicity. METHODS We used the human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines AsPC-1 and MIAPaCa-2. Both cell lines were treated with various concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 microM) of gemcitabine for 24 h. Heat treatment (43 degrees C, 1 h) was performed at various times relative to gemcitabine treatment. The effect of gemcitabine and heat treatment on cell survival was determined by WST-8 assay. The status of NF-kappaB in carcinoma cells exposed to gemcitabine was investigated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and immunocytochemistry. We analyzed apoptosis and necrosis in AsPC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 cells by flow cytometry. Furthermore, the levels of Hsp70, cyclin D1, caspase-3, and vascular endothelial growth factor in each treatment group were detected by western blotting. RESULTS (1) Significant cytotoxicity was observed with gemcitabine. (2) Gemcitabine activated NF-kappaB binding activity in both cell lines. (3) Heat treatment inhibited the gemcitabine-induced activation of NF-kappaB. (4) Heat treatment enhanced the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine, especially when heat treatment was performed 24 h before gemcitabine was given. (5) The levels of Hsp70 were increased by heat treatment. Gemcitabine did not affect the protein level of Hsp70. The levels of pro-caspase-3 were decreased by heat treatment combined with gemcitabine. CONCLUSIONS Heat treatment inhibited gemcitabine-induced activation of NF-kappaB, resulting in the enhancement of the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine.

Abstract
The heat shock (HS) response is a protective mechanism for cells to protect themselves against subsequent lethal stress. HS upregulated heat shock protein (HSP) expression reduced apoptosis following tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulation. However, vector-mediated overexpression of HSP70 failed to provide similar protection but rather sensitized cells to TNF-alpha induced apoptosis. This may be due to the fact that the kinetics of vector-mediated HSP overexpression is totally different from that of HSP upregulation by HS. We hypothesized that the response depends on the timing of TNF-alpha challenge relative to HSP expression dynamics after HS. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between the dynamic change of HSP expression and the levels of apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha after HS. Hepatoma cells were subjected to mild heat shock at 42 degrees C for 2 h followed by varied recovery times and then treated with TNF-alpha to induce apoptosis. The results from quantitative apoptosis assays using the TUNEL reaction reveal an optimal HS protection window centered around 5 h post-HS against TNF-alpha induced apoptosis. In addition, we found a window extending up to 2 h after HS where HS sensitized cells to TNF-alpha stress. Importantly, the correlation between apoptosis and HSP expression kinetics demonstrates that both high levels of HSPs and proper timing between HS and TNF-alpha stress were critical for optimal protection. Our study establishes a dynamic experimental model for further investigation of HS as a potential clinical approach to target tissue survival or death.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyperthermia is known to protect against cellular injury through the expression of heat shock proteins. In this study, the therapeutic effects of hyperthermia on experimental colitis in the rat were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Wistar rats were given a single intracolonic injection of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS). Hyperthermia was induced in anesthetized rats by placing them in a temperature-controlled water bath. We started the hyperthermic treatment on the day after the enema. The severity of colitis was evaluated pathologically, and the activities of tissue myeloperoxidase were measured 6 days after the induction of colitis. Furthermore, cytokines, and hyperthermia-induced heat shock proteins in colonic mucosa were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. We also investigated the effects of geranylgeranylacetone and zinc protoporphyrin IX on the therapeutic effect of hyperthermia. RESULTS Hyperthermia significantly improved the macroscopic scores of colitis. The TNBS-induced increases in the activities of myeloperoxidase in the colonic tissue were blunted significantly in hyperthermia-treated animals. Furthermore, hyperthermia attenuated increases in cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractants-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the colon. Furthermore, hyperthermia induced the production of heat shock proteins in rat colonic mucosa, and the combination of geranylgeranylacetone with hyperthermia further induced the heat shock protein HSP70, which resulted in further improvement of TNBS-induced colitis. On the other hand, the combination of zinc protoporphyrin IX with hyperthermia attenuated the therapeutic effect of hyperthermia. CONCLUSIONS Hyperthermia ameliorates TNBS-induced colitis in rats through the expression of HSP70 and HO-1. It is postulated that hyperthermia may be useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The activation of NF-kappaB induces production of inflammatory cytokines and up regulation of endothelial cell adhesion molecules (ECAM). ECAM (e.g., E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) associates to the recruitment of leukocytes into tissue exposed to inflammatory situation. In this study, we investigated the effects of hyperthermia on the activation of NF-kappaB and the up regulation of E-selectin and VCAM-1 in human endothelial cells stimulated by TNF-alpha. METHODS Human arterial endothelial cells (HAEC) were pretreated with hyperthermia for 60 min at 42 degrees C, followed by incubation at 37 degrees C in a passively cooled incubator, before TNF-alpha stimulation. To assess the effects of hyperthermia on TNF-alpha-induced up regulation of ECAM and TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB, we measured ECAM by ELISA, and evaluated the activation of NF-kappaB by Western blotting after TNF-alpha stimulation. The accumulation of HO-1, Hsp70 and IkappaBalpha in hyperthermia-treated HAEC was also assessed by Western blotting. To investigate the role of Hsp70, we treated HAEC with geranylgeranylacetone (GGA, Hsp70 inducer) 2 h before hyperthermia, and then measured ECAM in TNF-alpha-stimulated HAEC by ELISA. RESULTS Pretreatment of hyperthermia reduced TNF-alpha-induced up regulation of E-selectin and VCAM-1. In addition, accumulation of Hsp70, HO-1 and IkappaBalpha protein were up-regulated after hyperthermia. Furthermore, Western blotting analysis revealed that pretreatment of hyperthermia attenuated TNF-alpha-induced translocation of p65 into the nuclei of HAEC. Moreover, GGA enhanced Hsp70 accumulation induced by hyperthermia. Hyperthermia pretreatment combined with GGA induced further inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced up regulation of ECAM when compared with hyperthermia alone. CONCLUSION Pretreatment of hyperthermia blocks TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation, resulting in the inhibition of ECAM up regulation in HAEC.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examined whether hyperthermia attenuated the metastatic potential of colon cancer through the induction of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). MATERIALS AND METHODS Colon26 cells were separated into four groups: (1) no pretreatment, (2) hyperthermia at 42 degrees C for 1 hour, (3) pretreatment with geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) 10(-6) M for 2 hours, and (4) hyperthermia after GGA treatment. We measured cell viabilities and the contents of Hsp70. We assessed nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-kappa-B) status with and without tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulation. For in vivo study, colon26 cells were injected via the tail vein or into a subcutaneous area of mice and the numbers of lung metastatic nodules or the volumes of subcutaneous tumors were assessed. Untreated cells were incubated with PKH26. Experimental metastasis models were then generated and used to assess the fixed cancer cells. RESULTS Tumor development in the subcutaneous tumor models and cell viabilities were similar among the four groups. However, the GGA plus hyperthermia group had fewer lung metastatic nodules in the experimental lung metastasis model and higher Hsp70 induction than the other cell groups. The GGA plus hyperthermia pretreatment group also showed a lower number of fixed cells in lungs and lower activation of NF-kappa-B by TNF-alpha than the other cell groups. CONCLUSIONS It is suggested the metastatic potential but not the proliferation potency of cancer cells is inhibited by the transient induction of Hsp70.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) have been studied for many years and there is now a large body of evidence that demonstrates the role of Hsp upregulation in tissue and cell protection in a wide variety of stress conditions. Oxidative stress is known to be involved in a number of pathological conditions, including neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease and stroke, and even plays a role in natural aging. In this review we summarize the current understanding of the role of Hsps and the heat shock response (HSR) in these pathological conditions and discuss the therapeutic potential of an Hsp therapy for these disorders. However, although an Hsp based therapy appears to be a promising approach for the treatment of diseases that involve oxidative damage, there are some significant hurdles that must be overcome before this approach can be successful. For example, to be effective an Hsp based therapy will need to ensure that the upregulation of Hsps occurs in the right place (i.e. be cell specific), at the right time and to a level and specificity that ensures that all the important binding partners, namely the co-chaperones, are also present at the appropriate levels. It is therefore unlikely that strategies that involve genetic modifications that result in overexpression of specific Hsps will achieve such sophisticated and coordinated effects. Similarly, it is likely that some pharmaceutical inducers of Hsps may be too generic to achieve the desired specific effects on Hsp expression, or may simply fail to reach their target cells due to delivery problems. However, if these difficulties can be overcome, it is clear that an effective Hsp based therapy would be of great benefit to the wide range of depilating conditions in which oxidative stress plays a critical role.

Abstract
1. Activation of macrophages plays an important role in atherosclerosis. In order to investigate the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on cytokine release from macrophages, the RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cell line was treated with 0.2 mmol/L 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) for 36 h and the secretion of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α determined. In addition, Raw 264.7 cells were incubated in the presence of 10 μg/mL acetylated low-density lipoprotein (acLDL) at 37 °C for 8 h. 2. Secretion of TNF-α from RAW264.7 cells was stimulated by both loading of cells with acLDL and following 6-AN treatment. In addition, the expression of glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78 was increased in 6-AN-treated cells (by 165%). 3. In separate experiments, PD98059, a specific inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) pathway, blocked acLDL- and/or 6-AN-induced TNF-α secretion, whereas LY294002, which blocks the AKT signalling pathway, had no effect. On the basis of these results, we speculate that acLDL/6-AN-induced secretion of TNF-α from RAW264.7 cells may be regulated by activation of the MEK signalling pathway. 4. The present study suggests that the accumulation of lipids in cells and/or ER stress could lead to macrophage apoptosis as a result of the increased production of TNF-α, which integrates into atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Open heart surgery is a unique model to study the interplay between cellular injury, regulation of inflammatory responses and tissue repair. Stress-inducible heat shock protein 70-kDa (Hsp70) provides a molecular link between these events. In addition to molecular chaperoning, Hsp70 exerts modulatory effects on endothelial cells and leukocytes involved in inflammatory networks. Hsp70 residing in the intracellular compartment is part of an inhibitory feedback loop that acts on nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB). In contrast, extracellular Hsp70 is recognized by multiple germline-encoded immune receptors, e.g., Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, LOX-1, CD91, CD94, CCR5 and CD40. Hsp70 is thereby able to enhance chemotaxis, phagocytosis and cytolytic activity of innate immune cells and stimulate antigen-specific responses. These apparent contradictory pro- and anti-inflammatory effects of endogenous Hsp70 in the context of cardiac surgery are still not fully understood. An all-embracing model of the compartmentalized effects of endogenous Hsp70 in the orchestration of inflammatory responses in cardiac surgery is proposed.

Abstract
To determine whether the linear no-threshold (LNT) model for stochastic effects of ionizing radiation is applicable to very low-dose radiation at a low dose rate, we irradiated immature male germ cells of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, with several doses of (60)Co gamma rays at a dose rate of 22.4 mGy/h. Thereafter, we performed the sex-linked recessive lethal mutation assay by mating the irradiated males with nonirradiated females. The mutation frequency in the group irradiated with 500 microGy was found to be significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01), whereas in the group subjected to 10 Gy irradiation, the mutation frequency was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.03). A J-shaped dose-response relationship was evident. Molecular experiments using DNA microarray and quantitative reverse transcription PCR indicated that several genes known to be expressed in response to heat or chemical stress and grim, a positive regulator of apoptosis, were up-regulated immediately after irradiation with 500 microGy. The involvement of an apoptosis function in the non-linear dose-response relationship was suggested.

Abstract
Members of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family usually trigger both survival and apoptotic signals in various cell types. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are conserved proteins implicated in protection of cells from stress stimuli. However, the mechanisms of HSPs in TNFα-induced signalling pathway have not been fully elucidated. We report here that HSP70 over-expression in human colon cancer cells can inhibit TNFα-induced NFκB activation but promote TNFα-induced activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) through interaction with TNF receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 2 (TRAF2). We provide evidence that HSP70 over-expression can sequester TRAF2 in detergent-soluble fractions possibly through interacting with TRAF2, leading to reduced recruitment of receptor-interacting protein (RIP1) and IκBα kinase (IKK) signalosome to the TNFR1–TRADD complex and inhibited NFκB activation after TNFα stimuli. In addition, we found that HSP70–TRAF2 interaction can promote TNFα-induced JNK activation. Therefore, our study suggests that HSP70 may differentially regulate TNFα-induced activation of NFκB and JNK through interaction with TRAF2, contributing to the pro-apoptotic roles of HSP70 in TNFα-induced apoptosis of human colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones critical for cell survival under adverse environmental conditions and for normal cellular homeostasis. Bicyclol, a novel antihepatitis drug, has been shown to protect against liver injury in animals. However, it is unclear how bicyclol protects against liver injury. We recently found that bicyclol is an inducer of HSPs. We wondered whether bicyclol regulated the expression of HSPs to produce a liver protection in vivo. Thus, this study was designed to address these questions using a mouse model with concanavalin A (ConA)-induced liver injury. Oral administration of bicyclol markedly alleviated ConA-caused liver injury in mice as indicated by the reduction of serum aminotransferases, liver necrosis, and the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor from mitochondria and hepatic DNA fragmentation. Correlated with this, bicyclol induced the increase of mRNA and protein levels of hepatic 27- and 70-kDa HSPs (HSP27 and HSP70) in the mice. Correspondingly, the elevated HSP27 and HSP70 suppressed inhibitor kappaB degradation and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation that were caused by ConA. The protective effects of bicyclol on ConA-induced mouse liver injury were markedly attenuated by quercetin, an inhibitor of HSPs synthesis. Our results suggest that the antihepatitis drug bicyclol may protect against liver injury by inducing the expression of hepatic HSP27 and HSP70 and consequently inhibit the transcription factor NF-kappaB-mediated apoptosis and necrosis in liver tissue.

Abstract
The five members of the inhibitor of growth (ING) gene family have garnered significant interest due to their putative roles as tumor suppressors. However, the precise role(s) of these ING proteins in regulating cell growth and tumorigenesis remains uncertain. Biochemical and molecular biological analysis has revealed that all ING members encode a PHD finger motif proposed to bind methylated histones and phosphoinosital, and all ING proteins have been found as components of large chromatin remodeling complexes that also include histone acetyl transferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, suggesting a role for ING proteins in regulating gene transcription. Additionally, the results of forced overexpression studies performed in tissue culture have indicated that several of the ING proteins can interact with the p53 tumor suppressor protein and/or the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) protein complex. As these ING-associated proteins play well-established roles in numerous cell processes, including DNA repair, cell growth and survival, inflammation, and tumor suppression, several models have been proposed that ING proteins act as key regulators of cell growth not only through their ability to modify gene transcription but also through their ability to alter p53 and NF-kappaB activity. However, these models have yet to be substantiated by in vivo experimentation. This review summarizes what is currently known about the biological functions of the five ING genes based upon in vitro experiments and recent mouse modeling efforts, and will highlight the potential impact of INGs on the development of cancer.

Abstract
Exposure of monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial (MDCK) cells to a mild heat stimulus induces a state of physiological thermotolerance in which epithelial barrier function is maintained following a second more severe heat stress. We have previously shown that expression of exogenous HSP70 fully mimics the effects of the conditioning heat stress. Exposure of MDCK cells to elevated temperatures or medium containing CdCl2 caused a robust increase in cellular levels of HSP70. Pretreatment of MDCK monolayers with cadmium but not heat caused a small protection of epithelial barrier function against a second challenge with cadmium. In addition, a prior exposure of monolayers to cadmium at levels sufficient to induce HSP70 expression and increased cellular chaperone activity did not afford protection against a subsequent thermal challenge. Therefore multiple stress-specific cellular pathways impinge on the ability of heat shock proteins to induce physiological thermotolerance. Occludin, a component of tight junctions, is induced in MDCK cells engineered to express high levels of exogenous HSP70, potentially accounting for an elevation in baseline resistance. However neither basal levels of occludin, nor alterations in occludin expression, were correlated with epithelial barrier function in MDCK cells either exposed to elevated temperatures or challenged with cadmium.

Abstract
BCL2L12, a newly identified member of Bcl-2 family, contains a BH2 domain and a putative BH3 domain. It was found to be highly expressed in normal breast tissues, and was associated with favorable prognosis in breast cancer patients. Here, we reported that the mRNA levels of BCL2L12 and its transcript variant BCL2L12A could be upregulated upon cisplatin treatment in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Knockdown of BCL2L12 and BCL2L12A dramatically inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis. In contrast, ectopic expressions of each of the proteins promoted cisplatin-induced apoptosis. These results indicated that decreased expressions or loss of BCL2L12 and BCL2L12A may contribute to the cisplatin resistance in breast cancer patients. Furthermore, we found that cisplatin-induced downregulation of beta-catenin was partially suppressed in BCL2L12- and BCL2L12A-knocked down MDA-MB-231 cells, which indicated that knockdown of these two proteins may stabilize beta-catenin in cisplatin-induced apoptosis. In short, we proposed that BCL2L12 and BCL2L12A may play an important role in cisplatin-induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Viral fusogenic membrane glycoproteins (FMGs) are new therapeutic genes for the control of tumor growth, the cellular mechanisms mediating cell death is non-apoptotic. However, the precise molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we showed overexpression of HSP70 in HL-60 cells mediated by Gibbon Ape leukemia virus hyperfusogenic envelope protein (GALV-FMG) inhibited the nuclear translocation of p65, the transcriptive activity of NF-kappaB and prevented the degradation of IkappaB. NF-kappaB may negatively regulate HSP70 expression, which made a positive feed back loop for expression of HSP70. FMG expression in HL-60 cells leaded to the formation of multinucleated syncytia and cell death, the main death mode of cells is necrosis. This form of cell death should be effective in vivo, gene therapy basing on FMG deserve further study for the treatment of AML.

Abstract
Although heat shock proteins have been studied for decades, new intracellular and extracellular functions in a variety of diseases continue to be discovered. Heat shock proteins function within networks of interacting proteins; they can alter cellular physiology rapidly in response to stress without requiring new protein synthesis. This review focuses on the heat shock protein 70 family and considers especially the functions of the inducible member, heat shock protein 72, in the setting of cerebral ischemia. In general, inhibiting apoptotic signaling at multiple points and up-regulating survival signaling, heat shock protein 70 has a net prosurvival effect. Heat shock protein 70 has both antiinflammatory and proinflammatory effects depending on the cell type, context, and intracellular or extracellular location. Intracellular effects are often antiinflammatory with inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB signaling. Extracellular effects can lead to inflammatory cytokine production or induction of regulatory immune cells and reduced inflammation.

Abstract
This study examined very brief focal ischemia that simulates transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) that occur in humans. Adult rats were subjected to sham operations or 5 min, 10 min, or 2 h of middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemia using the suture (thread) model. Hsp70 protein was induced 24 h, 48 h and 72 h later in neurons throughout the entire MCA territory in many but not all animals. Following 5- and 10-minute MCA occlusions, 9 of 32 animals (28%) had microinfarcts mostly in dorsal lateral striatum. Uncommon Hsp70 stained intracellular cytoplasmic inclusions, some of which co-localized with activated caspase-3, were detected in microglia, macrophages, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Hsp70 stained neurons were TUNEL negative at 24 h and 48 h whereas some Hsp70 stained neurons were TUNEL positive at 72 h after reperfusion. Hsp70 positive, activated "bushy" microglia and Hsp70 negative, activated "polarized" or rod-shaped microglia were located outside of the microinfarcts. Thus, experimental focal ischemia simulating TIAs can: induce Hsp70 protein throughout the ischemic vessel territory; produce Hsp70 protein positive glial inclusions; activate Hsp70 positive and negative microglia; and cause microinfarcts in some animals.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a highly conserved and ubiquitous protein that is reported to provide cytoprotection in various cell types and tissues. However, the importance of Hsp70 expression during skeletal muscle atrophy, when Hsp70 levels are significantly decreased, is not known. The current study aimed to determine whether plasmid-mediated overexpression of Hsp70, in the soleus muscle of rats, was sufficient to regulate specific atrophy signaling pathways and attenuate skeletal muscle disuse atrophy. We found that Hsp70 overexpression prevented disuse muscle fiber atrophy and inhibited the increased promoter activities of atrogin-1 and MuRF1. Importantly, the transcriptional activities of Foxo3a and NF-kappaB, which are implicated in the regulation of atrogin-1 and MuRF1, were abolished by Hsp70. These data suggest that Hsp70 may regulate key atrophy genes through inhibiting Foxo3a and NF-kappaB activities during disuse. Indeed, we show that specific inhibition of Foxo3a prevented the increases in both atrogin-1 and MuRF1 promoter activities during disuse. However, inhibition of NF-kappaB did not affect the activation of either promoter, suggesting its requirement for disuse atrophy is through its regulation of other atrophy genes. We conclude that overexpression of Hsp70 is sufficient to inhibit key atrophy signaling pathways and prevent skeletal muscle atrophy.
