Acetyl salicylic acid protected against heat stress damage in chicken myocardial cells and may associate with induced Hsp27 expression. Cell Stress Chaperones 2015; 20:687-96. [PMID: 25956131 PMCID: PMC4463918 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-015-0596-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2014] [Revised: 04/13/2015] [Accepted: 04/27/2015] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
We investigated whether acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) protects chicken myocardial cells from heat stress-mediated damage in vivo and whether the induction of Hsp27 expression is connected with this function. Pathological changes, damage-related enzyme levels, and Hsp27 expression were studied in chickens following heat stress (40 ± 1 °C for 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, or 24 h, respectively) with or without ASA administration (1 mg/kg BW, 2 h prior). Appearance of pathological lesions such as degenerations and karyopyknosis as well as the myocardial damage-related enzyme activation indicated that heat stress causes considerable injury to the myocardial cells in vivo. Myocardial cell injury was most serious in chickens exposed to heat stress without prior ASA administration; meanwhile, ASA pretreatment acted protective function against high temperature-induced injury. Hsp27 expression was induced under all experimental conditions but was one-fold higher in the ASA-pretreated animals (0.3138 ± 0.0340 ng/mL) than in untreated animals (0.1437 ± 0.0476 ng/mL) 1 h after heat stress exposure, and such an increase was sustained over the length of the experiment. Our findings indicate that pretreatment with ASA protects chicken myocardial cells from acute heat stress in vivo with almost no obvious side effects, and this protection may involve an enhancement of Hsp27 expression. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying this effect require further investigation.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low-molecular-weight HSP, is recognized as a molecular chaperone. In response to various stimuli, HSP27 expression is induced in the CNS. However, the exact roles of HSP27 in the CNS have not yet been clarified. It has been reported that interleukin (IL)-1β stimulates IL-6 synthesis in C6 glioma cells. In the present study, we investigated the role of HSP27 in the IL-1β-induced IL-6 synthesis in C6 cells. IL-1β alone did not affect the levels of HSP27. The IL-1β-induced IL-6 release in HSP27-downregulated C6 cells were enhanced compared with those in control siRNA-transfected cells. On the other hand, the IL-1β-induced IL-6 release was significantly enhanced in C6 cells transfected with HSP27 than those in control cells in time- and dose-dependent manner. The IL-1β-induced IL-6 release and the mRNA expression were markedly suppressed in C6 cells transfected with phosphorylated HSP27, while those in the cells transfected with unphosphorylated HSP27 were enhanced. In conclusion, these results strongly suggest that phosphorylated status of HSP27 has a switching role in the IL-1β-induced IL-6 synthesis in C6 glioma cells.

Abstract
An R120G missense mutation in alpha-B-crystallin (CryAB), a small heat-shock protein (HSP), causes a desmin-related cardiomyopathy (DRM) that is characterized by the formation of aggregates containing CryAB and desmin. The mutant CryAB protein leads to the formation of inclusion bodies, which contain amyloid oligomer intermediates (amyloid oligomer) in the cardiomyocytes. To further address the underlying mechanism(s) of amyloid oligomer formation in DRM linked to the CryAB R120G, a recombinant CryAB R120G protein was generated. The purified CryAB R120G protein can form a toxic amyloid oligomer, whereas little immunoreactivity was observed in the wild-type CryAB protein. A native PAGE showed that the oligomerized form was present in the CryAB R120G protein, whereas only a high molecular mass was detected in the wildtype CryAB. The oligomerized CryAB R120G of around 240-480 kDa showed strong positive immunoreactivity against an anti-oligomer antibody. The CryAB R120G amyloid oligomer was unstable and easily lost its conformation by beta-mercaptoethanol and SDS. Recombinant HSP25 or HSP22 proteins can directly interrupt oligomer formation by the CryAB R120G protein, whereas the amyloid oligomer is still present in the mixture of the wild-type CryAB and CryAB R120G proteins. This interruption by HSP25 and HSP22 was confirmed in a cardiomyocyte-based study using an adenoviral transfection system. Blockade of amyloid oligomer formation by HSP25 and HSP22 recovered the ubiquitin proteosomal activity and cellular viability. Blockade of oligomer formation by small HSP may be a new therapeutic strategy for treating DRM as well as other types of amyloid-based degenerative diseases.

Abstract
Geldanamycin is an antitumor drug that binds HSP90 and induces a wide range of heat shock proteins, including HSP70s. In this study we report that the induction of HSP70s is dose-dependent in geldanamycin-treated human non-small cell lung cancer H460 cells. Analysis of the induction of HSP70s specific isoform using LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and Northern blotting showed that HSP70-1/2 are the major inducible forms under geldanamycin treatment. Transactivation of hsp70-1/2 was determined by electrophoretic mobility-shift assay using heat shock element (HSE) as a probe. The signaling pathway mediators involved in hsp70-1/2 transactivation were screened by the kinase inhibitor scanning technique. Pretreatment with serine/threonine protein kinase inhibitors H7 or H8 blocked geldanamycin-induced HSP70-1/2, whereas protein kinase A inhibitor HA1004, protein kinase G inhibitor KT5823, and myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-7 had no effect. Furthermore, the protein kinase C (PKC)-specific inhibitor Ro-31-8425 and the Ca2+-dependent PKC inhibitor Gö-6976 diminished geldanamycin-induced HSP70-1/2, suggesting an involvement of the PKC in the process. In addition, geldanamycin treatment causes a transient increase of intracellular Ca2+. Chelating intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA-AM or depletion of intracellular Ca2+ store with A23187 or thapsigargin significantly decreased geldanamycin-transactivated HSP70-1/2 expression. Taken together, our results demonstrate that geldanamycin-induced specific HSP70-1/2 isoforms expression in H460 cells through signaling pathway mediated by Ca2+ and PKC.

Abstract
Addition of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) to the differentiation medium of C2C12 mouse myoblast cells caused severe inhibition of the formation of myotubes and suppressed differentiation-dependent elevation in the levels of the creatine kinase M isozyme (CKM). Under these conditions, NDGA did not cause significant increase of damaged cells, as detected by annexin-V-FITC assay, or induction of heat shock proteins, known to be a response against extracellular stress. The results suggest that NDGA itself is not toxic but can effectively blocks the differentiation-dependent increase of CKM during C2C12 differentiation. The levels of muscle specific bHLH proteins MyoD, Myf5, and myogenin were also decreased by addition of NDGA, indicating a block of the initial step of the myogenesis through downregulation of muscle specific genes. NDGA is known to be a lipoxygenase inhibitor but other examples, like MK-886 and CDC, did not exert the same effects on differentiation of muscle cells, indicating that mechanisms of NDGA action are independent of its influence on lipoxygenase.

Abstract
There are several reports describing participation of small heat shock proteins (sHsps) in cellular protein quality control. In this study, we estimated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced response of Hsp27 and alphaB-crystallin in mammalian cells. Treatment targeting the ER with tunicamycin or thapsigargin induced the phosphorylation of Hsp27 but not of alphaB-crystallin in U373 MG cells, increase being observed after 2-10 h and decline at 24 h. Similar phosphorylation of Hsp27 by ER stress was also observed with U251 MG and HeLa but not in COS cells and could be blocked using SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase. Other protein kinase inhibitors, like Gö6983, PD98059, and SP600125, inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), p44/42 MAP kinase, and JNK, respectively, were without major influence. Prolonged treatment with tunicamycin but not thapsigargin for 48 h caused the second induction of the phosphorylation of Hsp27 in U251 MG cells. Under these conditions, the intense perinuclear staining of Hsp27, with some features of aggresomes, was observed in 10%-20% of the cells.

Abstract
As for the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), prostaglandins (PGs) act as important mediators of inflammation and joint destruction. Among them, PGD2 is well recognized as a potent regulator of osteoblastic functions. We previously showed that PGD2 stimulates the induction of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) via protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p44/p42 MAP kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Therefore, it is a current topic to clarify how HSP27 plays a role for regulating osteoblastic functions in the lesion of RA. On the other hand, methotrexate (MTX) is one of the most effective medicines for the treatment of RA. Here, we examined the effect of MTX on PGD2-stimulated HSP27 induction in MC3T3-E1 cells. The cells were pretreated with various doses of MTX including therapeutic dosage for RA, and then stimulated by PGD2. MTX significantly enhanced the PGD2- increased levels of HSP27 in a dose-dependent manner, although MTX alone had no effect on the levels of HSP27. In addition, MTX amplified the PGD2-increased levels of HSP27 mRNA. On the contrary, MTX had little effect on PGD2-induced formation of inositol phosphates, PKC activation and phosphorylations of MAP kinases. Our results strongly suggest that MTX enhances PGD2-stimulated HSP27 induction at a point downstream from MAP kinases in osteoblasts.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of thrombin on the induction of heat shock proteins (HSP) 70 and 27, and the mechanism behind the induction in aortic smooth muscle A10 cells. Thrombin increased the level of HSP27 but had little effect on the level of HSP70. Thrombin stimulated the accumulation of HSP27 dose dependently between 0.01 and 1 U/ml and cycloheximide reduced the accumulation. Thrombin stimulated an increase in the level of HSP27 mRNA and actinomycin D suppressed the thrombin-increased mRNA level. Thrombin induced the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The HSP27 accumulation by thrombin was reduced by SB-203580 and PD-169316 but not by SB-202474. SB-203580 and PD-169316 suppressed the thrombin-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. SB-203580 reduced the thrombin-increased level of HSP27 mRNA. Dissociation of the aggregated HSP27 to the dissociated HSP27 was induced by thrombin. Dissociation was inhibited by SB-203580. Thrombin induced the phosphorylation of HSP27 and the phosphorylation was suppressed by SB-203580. These results indicate that thrombin stimulates not only the dissociation of HSP27 but also the induction of HSP27 via p38 MAPK activation in aortic smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Expression of the human beta amyloid peptide (A beta) in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans animals can lead to the formation of intracellular immunoreactive deposits as well as the formation of intracellular amyloid. We have used this model to identify proteins that interact with intracellular A beta in vivo. Mass spectrometry analysis of proteins that specifically coimmunoprecipitate with A beta has identified six likely chaperone proteins: two members of the HSP70 family, three alpha B-crystallin-related small heat shock proteins (HSP-16s), and a putative ortholog of a mammalian small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein proposed to regulate HSP70 function. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis shows that the small heat shock proteins are also transcriptionally induced by A beta expression. Immunohistochemistry demonstrates that HSP-16 protein closely colocalizes with intracellular A beta in this model. Transgenic animals expressing a nonaggregating A beta variant, a single-chain A beta dimer, show an altered pattern of coimmunoprecipitating proteins and an altered cellular distribution of HSP-16. Double-stranded RNA inhibition of R05F9.10, the putative C. elegans ortholog of the human small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide-repeat-containing protein (SGT), results in suppression of toxicity associated with A beta expression. These results suggest that chaperone function can play a role in modulating intracellular A beta metabolism and toxicity.

Abstract
The effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) on Ca(2+) signaling in C6 glioma cells has been investigated. NDGA (5-100 microM) increased [Ca(2+)]i concentration-dependently. The [Ca(2+)]i increase comprised an initial rise and an elevated phase over a time period of 4 min. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) reduced NDGA-induced [Ca(2+)]i signals by 52+/-2%. After incubation of cells with NDGA in Ca(2+)-free medium for 4 min, addition of 3 mM CaCl2 induced a concentration-dependent increase in [Ca(2+)]i. NDGA (100 microM)-induced [Ca(2+)]i increases in Ca(2+)-containing medium was not changed by pretreatment with 10 microM nifedipine or verapamil. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin (1 microM) abolished 100 microM NDGA-induced [Ca(2+)]i increases. Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 had little effect on 100 microM NDGA-induced Ca(2+) release. Several other lipoxygenase inhibitors had no effect on basal [Ca(2+)]i. Collectively, the results suggest that NDGA increased [Ca(2+)]i in glioma cells in a lipoxygenase-independent manner, by releasing Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity and by causing Ca(2+) influx.

Abstract
Levels of the small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin during differentiation of mouse C2C12 cells were determined using specific immunoassays. Increases of these proteins were about 3-fold and 10-fold, respectively. Under the same conditions, however, the level of HSP70 in C2C12 cells barely increased, indicating selective accumulation of HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin with differentiation. While expression of mRNA for alphaB-crystallin was also markedly increased and that for HSP27 was but to a lesser extent, mRNA for HSP70 could barely be detected during differentiation. Activation of the heat-shock factor was not observed, in contrast to the case with heat-stressed undifferentiated cells. Various inhibitors of protein kinases affected the differentiation and the associated increase of sHSPs. Rapamycin, an inhibitor of p70 S6 kinase, completely inhibited the differentiation and suppressed the accumulation of HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin. SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, also inhibited differentiation, but the accumulation of alphaB-crystallin was rather enhanced. PD98059, an inhibitor of MAP kinase kinase, significantly increased expression of a differentiation marker for muscle cells, creatine kinase M isozyme, as well as accumulation of alphaB-crystallin. These results suggest that accumulation of sHSPs during differentiation of C2C12 cells is regulated in a complex manner.

Abstract
In cultured cells, salicylate has been shown to potentiate the induction of Hsp72 so that a mild heat stress (40 degrees C) in the presence of salicylate induces an Hsp72 response that is similar to a severe heat stress (42 degrees C). To determine whether salicylate can potentiate the myocardial Hsp70 response in vivo and confer protection from an ischemic stress, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were placed into 5 groups: (1) control, (2) salicylate only (400 mg/kg), (3) mild heat stress (40 degrees C for 15 minutes), (4) mild heat stress plus salicylate, and (5) severe heat stress (42 degrees C for 15 minutes). Twenty-four hours following salicylate treatment and/or heat stress, animals were anesthetized, their hearts rapidly isolated, and hemodynamic function evaluated using the Langendorff technique. Hsp72 content was subsequently assessed by Western blotting. Although salicylate in combination with a mild heat stress induced heat shock factor activation, only the hearts from severely heat-stressed animals (42 degrees C) demonstrated a significantly elevated myocardial Hsp72 content and a significantly enhanced postischemic recovery of left ventricular developed pressure and rates of contraction and relaxation. These results support the role for Hsp72 as a protective protein and suggest that neither salicylate treatment alone nor salicylate in combination with a mild heat stress potentiates the myocardial Hsp72 response.

Abstract
The induction of Hsp68 by heat shock (HS) and oxidative stress (OS) involves different pathways in C6 rat glioma cells. The pathways were analyzed by specific inhibitors of signal transduction cascades. Quercetin (inhibitor of PLA(2) and lipoxygenase) inhibited only the OS-induced but not the HS-induced expression of Hsp68. Preincubation with quinacrine (inhibitor of PLA(2)) before stress also suppressed the expression of Hsp68 only after oxidative stress. Moreover, another inhibitor of lipoxygenase (alpha-tocopherol) exclusively suppressed OS-induced Hsp68 expression. This different regulation was confirmed by exposing the cells to arachidonic acid (AA) during stress which strongly increased the induction of Hsp68 only after OS. PGE(2) (metabolite of cyclooxygenase) and indomethacin (inhibitor of cyclooxygenase) had no influence on Hsp68 expression in response to both stressors. The results suggest that the induction of Hsp68 by oxidative stress is mainly transmitted by the lipoxygenase pathway in C6 rat glioma cells.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Gene expression profiles of the collecting duct in the mouse renal inner medulla. BACKGROUND Gene expression profiles, constructed from 1000 to 2000 cloned cDNA sequences, depict their relative abundance of expression in a tissue. Establishing such a profile for mouse inner renal medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs), we compared expression patterns with those in other tissues including proximal tubule. METHODS A nonbiased 3'-end cDNA library was prepared from microdissected mouse IMCDs. Single-pass sequencing of 2000 randomly selected cDNA clones collected short sequences (approximate length, 250 bp) following poly (A), called gene signatures (GS). Identical sequences were considered a single GS. GS occurrence was quantitated to yield a list of expressed genes indicating their abundance. RESULTS Among 2000 clones, 1613 types of transcripts were found in IMCDs; 155 were identical or homologous to reported genes. The gene most expressed in IMCDs was alphaB-crystallin, a small stress (heat-shock) protein that is also a major structural protein in the ocular lens. According to Northern analysis, renal expression of this mRNA was induced by dehydration, presumably via tissue hypertonicity. However, expression did not change with acute NaCl loading. Also, a new member of the glutathione-S-transferase family was identified by comparing the IMCD expression profile with those of other tissues. CONCLUSION With our database of genes expressed in mouse IMCDs, we are devising an IMCD-specific microarray to study gene-expression responses to various physiologic alterations.

Abstract
Fatty acids have been involved in the proliferation and differentiation of numerous cells, as mediated via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) or lipid metabolites (prostaglandins, diacylglycerol). In the present study, we have investigated the effect of arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and its precursor eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on the differentiation of a rat uterine stromal cell line, UIII. As markers of decidualization, we have investigated morphological changes, monitored by inverted light and scanning electron microscopy. The induction of 3 proteins, desmin, hsp-25 and prolactin, which are all considered to be markers of decidualization, were analyzed by immunocytochemistry or Western blotting. Addition of AA (30 microM) to the medium of cultured cells for 48h induced cell spreading and flattening. Cells became enlarged (x 2.5) and some of them were binucleated. Using scanning electron microscopy, we confirmed these morphological changes and showed that the enlargement of the cells was followed by numerous extracellular processes, leading to an increase in cell surface area and intercellular communications. Immunocytochemistry showed that this treatment also induced the expression of desmin, which seems to direct morphological changes, beginning as a perinuclear ring and extending to the cell membrane. The time course of desmin expression was studied by Western blotting. No desmin expression was present before 4h of AA treatment. Desmin induction was maximum at 24h of treatment and plateaued thereafter. DHA and EPA (30 microM), added to the medium, failed to induce any change. However, in cells previously differentiated with AA and expressing desmin, treatment with DHA or EPA (30microM) reversed partially the action of AA, EPA being the most effective. AA also induced hsp-25, though all cells did not express this protein. A prolactin (PRL)-like factor was induced by AA, as recognized by an antibody against pituitary rPRL, and migrated as the standard. Moreover, a fragment of 16 kDa was also revealed by this antibody, suggesting that the PRL-like factor cleaved, was similar to PRL and that the PRL-like factor could be identical to PRL. In conclusion, these results show that AA is able to specifically induce the decidualization of uterine stromal cells in vitro.

Abstract
We previously reported that PKN, a fatty acid-activated serine/threonine protein kinase, translocates from the cytosol to the nucleus by stresses such as heat shock, sodium arsenite, and serum starvation. To clarify the role of PKN under heat stress, we examined whether PKN regulates the expression of heat shock proteins. Co-expression of heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) and the catalytically active fragment of PKN induced the accumulation of alphaB-crystallin but not HSP27 and HSP70 in HeLa S3 cells. The expression of the reporter gene for alphaB-crystallin promoter was activated by co-expression of HSF1 and the catalytically active fragment of PKN, and this activation was dependent on the protein kinase activity of PKN. Deletion analysis of the alphaB-crystallin promoter region revealed that both the proximal and the distal heat shock elements were necessary for the transactivation. These results raise the possibility that there is a signal transduction pathway mediating stress signals for the accumulation of alphaB-crystallin by HSF1 and PKN.

Abstract
In this paper, the pattern of induction of heat shock proteins (hsps) was studied in cultured Reuber H35 rat hepatoma cells by sequential application of different stressors. We analyzed whether a specific stress condition is able to induce an enhanced sensitivity to a subsequent application of a low dose of either the same or another stressor (self-sensitization and cross-sensitization, respectively). As a measure of sensitization, the stimulation of hsp induction was employed. Three different stressor conditions (heat shock, sodium arsenite and cadmium chloride) were used in doses which exerted a similar impact on overall protein synthesis. A synergistic effect in induction of the synthesis of various hsps was observed when a high stressor dose was followed by an 8-h incubation in a lower stressor dose in both self- and cross-sensitization experiments. The low-dose conditions used as second treatments did not induce any responses in non-pretreated cells. Studies in cultured cells have demonstrated stressor-specific hsp induction patterns. In this study we analyzed whether the pattern of hsps induced by the low-dose condition is characteristic for the first sensitizing stressor or for the secondary stressor applied in a low dose. The pattern of hsps which was induced above the level of the high-dose effect, due to the incubation with the secondary applied low-dose condition, was found to be characteristic for the secondary stressor and not for the sensitizing primary treatment. These results are of importance for an improved understanding of the regulation of heat shock protein synthesis in conditions of self- and cross-sensitization, as well as for a proper use of hsps as biomarkers of exposure to environmental stress.

Abstract
The effects of diethyl maleate and buthionine sulfoximine, agents that lower cellular levels of glutathione, on expression of hsp27 and alphaB crystallin in response to stress were studied. When C6 rat glioma cells were treated with 100 microM arsenite for 1 h, accumulation of the two proteins, estimated by specific immunoassays, was markedly enhanced by additional exposure to 1 mM diethyl maleate or 2.5 mM buthionine sulfoximine. The latter also increased heat- and CdCl2-induced accumulation of hsp27 and alphaB crystallin. Stress-induced accumulation of hsp70, estimated by Western blotting analysis, was also enhanced by these agents. Northern blotting analysis revealed increase in levels of mRNAs for hsp27, alphaB crystallin and hsp70. The period of heat shock element (HSE)-binding activity of heat shock factor (HSF) stimulated by arsenite was extended by addition of diethyl maleate and buthionine sulfoximine. The induced phosphorylated state of HSF1 was also prolonged by diethyl maleate. Although exposure of cells to diethyl maleate alone for 1 h caused neither accumulation of hsp27, alphaB crystallin and hsp70 nor expression of mRNAs for these proteins, HSE-binding activity of HSF was stimulated. However, the activated HSF was not phosphorylated. These results suggest that diethyl maleate induces an intermediate state of HSF that binds to HSE but is transcriptionally inert. The mechanism is unclear but the levels of glutathione in cells that were exposed to diethyl maleate or buthionine sulfoximine were markedly decreased.

Abstract
The effects were examined of various prostaglandins (prostaglandin A1, A2, J2, E2, and D2) on the stress-induced accumulation of hsp27 and alpha B crystallin in C6 rat glioma cells. The levels of hsp27 and alpha B crystallin, which were determined by specific immunoassays, were low in cells in confluent cultures. The levels of the two proteins increased after exposure of cells to heat (42 degrees C for 30 min) or arsenite (50 microM for 1 h). Cells exposed to 10 microM each of prostaglandin A1, A2, or J2 for 1 h resulted in stimulation of the binding to the heat shock element (HSE) of heat shock transcription factor (HSF). However, there was no phosphorylation-dependent mobility shift of HSF1 and no subsequent increase in the transcription and translation for hsp27, alpha B crystallin, and hsp70. When cells were exposed to arsenite in the presence of 10-40 microM prostaglandin, the accumulation of hsp27 and alpha B crystallin in cells was enhanced markedly. The levels of hsp70 also increased in cells that had been treated with arsenite in the presence of a prostaglandin, as estimated by Western blot analysis. Northern blot analysis revealed that the expression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for hsp27, alpha B crystallin, and hsp70 was enhanced in cells that had been exposed to arsenite in the presence of each prostaglandin. Similar stimulatory effects of prostaglandins also were observed in the case of the heat-induced responses of hsp27, alpha B crystallin, and hsp70. Gel mobility shift assays revealed that each prostaglandin prolonged the arsenite-induced binding of HSF to HSE. These results suggest that the pharmacological dose of prostaglandins stimulates the stress-induced synthesis of stress proteins via activation of the HSF.
