[PMID: 34420116 DOI: 10.1007/s00484-021-02175-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The long exposure to heat negatively changes performance and productivity of animals, particularly when heat stress is associated with gestation. Indeed, little is known about the negative effects of long-term heat stress on the final gestation of dairy goats. In this context, the physiological and cellular responses of Saanen goats submitted to heat stress (37°C from 10:00 to 16:00 h) were investigated from day 60th pre-partum to day 60th post-partum. At final gestation, 46 pregnant Saanen goats were randomly assigned to the treatments: control (CT; thermal neutral conditions) and heat stress (HS; climatic chamber). After partum, all experimental goats were maintained in thermal neutral conditions. The rectal, dorsal, mammary temperatures and respiratory frequency, cortisol release, milk yield, milk quality, and the genes HSP60, HSP70, HSP90, Glucocorticoid receptor and ACTHR. Goats subjected to HS showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher rectal, dorsal, and mammary temperatures and significantly mobilized the increase of respiratory frequency to lose heat as compared to CT goats. The HS challenge significantly increased cortisol release from day 15th pre-partum to day 15th post-partum. CT goats produced more milk than HS from weeks 4 to 10 of lactation (P <0.001), with no difference in milk quality. However, on day 15th post-partum, there was a significant effect of HS treatment on the expression of HSP70 and ACTHR genes as compared to CT treatment, confirming the long-term effect of HS on Saanen goats. In conclusion, the physiological parameters studied increased pre-partum in the hottest hour, and cortisol peaked on day 15 pre-partum for heat-stressed goats. Although on the 15th day post-partum, all goats were in thermal comfort, and the physiological parameters were within the normal range, the concentration of cortisol continued to be significantly higher for goats submitted to thermal stress. Indeed, milk yield was greater for goats subjected to pre-partum thermal comfort. Furthermore, the expression of HSP70 and ACTHR genes on peripheral blood mononuclear cells are interesting biomarkers for studying the long-term effect of heat stress on Saanen goats.

Abstract
Repetitive prenatal exposure to identical or similar doses of harmful agents results in highly variable and unpredictable negative effects on fetal brain development ranging in severity from high to little or none. However, the molecular and cellular basis of this variability is not well understood. This study reports that exposure of mouse and human embryonic brain tissues to equal doses of harmful chemicals, such as ethanol, activates the primary stress response transcription factor heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1) in a highly variable and stochastic manner. While Hsf1 is essential for protecting the embryonic brain from environmental stress, excessive activation impairs critical developmental events such as neuronal migration. Our results suggest that mosaic activation of Hsf1 within the embryonic brain in response to prenatal environmental stress exposure may contribute to the resulting generation of phenotypic variations observed in complex congenital brain disorders. Prenatal exposure to environmental stressors is known to impair cortical development. Here the authors show that upon exposure to stressors, the activation of Hsf1-Hsp signalling is highly variable among cells in the embryonic cortex of mice, and either too much or too little activation can result in defects in cortical development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between heat shock proteins (HSPs) and the proinflammatory, anti-apoptosis mediator NF-kappa-B in squamous cell carcinoma.STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: CA-9-22 cells were exposed to heat stress to induce the production of HSPs. Immunoblot and reporter gene experiments determined the inducibility of HSP production and the activation of cytokine-induced NF-kappa-B. Immunoblot experiments determined the presence of the inhibitor- k-B-α (I kBα).RESULTS: CA-9-22 cells can be induced by heat stress to produce HSPs at 100-fold above baseline levels. The induction of HSPs prevents the activation and nuclear translocation of NF-kappa-B despite stimulation with IL-1β and TNF-α.CONCLUSIONS: Constitutive activation of NF-kappa-B is prevented by HSP induction through an increase in I kBα synthesis.SIGNIFICANCE: The induction of HSP70 alters the inflammatory milieu associated with squamous cell carcinoma progression through the inhibition of NF-kappa-B and may ultimately promote apoptosis in head and neck carcinoma.

Abstract
The cytoprotective response to thermal injury is characterized by transcriptional activation of "heat shock proteins" (hsp) and proinflammatory proteins. Expression of these proteins may predict cellular survival. Microarray analyses were performed to identify spatially distinct gene expression patterns responding to thermal injury. Laser injury zones were identified by expression of a transgene reporter comprised of the 70 kD hsp gene and the firefly luciferase coding sequence. Zones included the laser spot, the surrounding region where hsp70-luc expression was increased, and a region adjacent to the surrounding region. A total of 145 genes were up-regulated in the laser irradiated region, while 69 were up-regulated in the adjacent region. At 7 hours the chemokine Cxcl3 was the highest expressed gene in the laser spot (24 fold) and adjacent region (32 fold). Chemokines were the most common up-regulated genes identified. Microarray gene expression was successfully validated using qRT- polymerase chain reaction for selected genes of interest. The early response genes are likely involved in cytoprotection and initiation of the healing response. Their regulatory elements will benefit creating the next generation reporter mice and controlling expression of therapeutic proteins. The identified genes serve as drug development targets that may prevent acute tissue damage and accelerate healing.

Abstract
We hypothesized that broad-scale expression profiling would provide insight into the regulatory pathways that control gene expression in response to stress and potentially identify novel heat-responsive genes. HEp2 cells, a human malignant epithelial cell line, were heated at 37 degrees C to 43 degrees C for 60 min to gauge the heat shock response, using as a proxy inducible Hsp70 quantified by Western blot analysis. Based on these results, microarray experiments were conducted at 37 degrees C, 40 degrees C, 41 degrees C, 42 degrees C, and 43 degrees C. Using linear modeling, we compared the sets of microarrays at 40 degrees C, 41 degrees C, 42 degrees C, and 43 degrees C with the 37 degrees C baseline temperature and took the union of the genes exhibiting differential gene expression signal to create two sets of "heat shock response" genes, each set reflecting either increased or decreased RNA abundance. Leveraging human and mouse orthologous alignments, we used the two lists of coexpressed genes to predict transcription factor binding sites in silico, including those for heat shock factor (HSF) 1 and HSF2 transcription factors. We discovered HSF1 and HSF2 binding sites in 15 genes not previously associated with the heat shock response. We conclude that microarray experiments coupled with upstream promoter analysis can be used to identify novel genes that respond to heat shock. Additional experiments are required to validate these putative heat shock proteins and facilitate a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved during the stress response.

Abstract
Hyperthermia can be used as a possible adjuvant therapy in treatment of cancer patients. In this study, the direct effect of hyperthermia on osteosarcoma derived cell lines HOS85, MG-63 and SaOS-2 was investigated. Heat shock at 42 degrees C inhibited proliferation significantly in all three cell lines tested. Furthermore a sub-lethal heat shock (42 degrees C, 1 h) decreases alkaline phosphatase activity, the absolute marker for osteoblast-like cells, in all of the three cell lines. Hsp70 was expressed constitutively and was found to be upregulated in a time-dependent manner; by up to 150% in Western blot analysis. The results of this study indicate that heat shock has an inhibitory effect on human osteosarcoma cells. These data suggest that hyperthermia has an anti-tumour effect on cancers of the bone and might, therefore, become an adjuvant treatment option.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are ubiquitously expressed proteins, which are highly inducible by a variety of stressful stimuli. As organisms age, various denatured proteins such as proteins modified by oxidation have been detected. Such abnormal proteins might serve as stress signals for the induction of Hsp, which plays indispensable roles in protecting proteins from denaturation. Although it is well known that the heat shock induced expression of Hsp decreases with age, little attention has been given to the unstimulated, basal levels of Hsp. Therefore, a study was performed to examine the expression pattern of various Hsp with aging, under normal physiological conditions in human peripheral blood cells. The basal levels of Hsp32, Hsp70 and Hsp90 increased significantly with age in controls but not patients. Moreover, the levels of Hsp32, Hsp70, Hsp90, but not Hsp27 correlated positively among each other, indicating both common and different regulatory mechanisms. Higher levels of Hsp32, Hsp70 and Hsp90 were noticed in patients with inflammation, a commonly occurring natural stimulant of Hsp production, compared to control subjects. The production of Hsp appeared to be related to the circulating levels of C-reactive protein and cytokines.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the expression of heat shock (HS) genes in human cells in response to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) alone and in combination with thermal stress. After exposing human myeloid leukemia (HL-60) cells to the stressor(s) for 30 min we quantified the expression of the HS genes HSP27, HSP60, HSP70 (A, B, and C), HSC70, HSP75, HSP78, and HSP90 (alpha and beta) by RT-PCR. The results clearly show that HS genes, in particular the three HSP70 genes (A, B, and C), are induced by ELF-EMF, a reaction that is enhanced by simultaneous HS (43 degrees C for 30 min). The results show similarities and some significant differences to previous experiments in which transgenic nematodes were used to monitor the induction of the HSP70 gene under similar stress conditions. We also studied the effect of different flux densities on gene expression in the range of 10-140 microT. Even the lowest dose tested (10 microT) resulted in a significant induction of the genes HSP70A, HSP70B, and HSP70C. The reaction to ELF-EMF shows a maximum at a flux density of 60-80 microT. The unusual dose-response relation reveals an interesting difference to other stressors that elicit the HS response.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of dexamethasone on the levels of heat shock protein Hsp70 and glucocorticoid hormones receptor as well as on the interaction of these two proteins in the liver cytosol and nuclei of unstressed and rats exposed to whole body hyperthermic stress. The results, obtained by quantitative immunoblotting, have shown that dexamethasone provoked a reduction of Hsp70 basal level and an increase in its stress-induced level in the nuclei, supporting the idea that this hormone may be a factor included in the regulation of Hsp70 level both under normal and stress conditions. The cytosolic reduction and nuclear elevation of the glucocorticoid hormones receptor level by dexamethasone were also observed. Co-immunopurification of Hsp70 and glucocorticoid hormones receptor has revealed that the changes of cytosolic and nuclear levels of the two examined proteins resulted in the changes of their interaction within the respective cellular compartments. Thus, 41 ?C heat stress was shown to cause at least two-fold elevation of Hsp70/GR ratio within the glucocorticoid hormones receptor heterocomplexes both in the presence and in the absence of dexamethasone. The results support the view that glucocorticoid hormones signaling pathway and heat shock system are interrelated.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the correlation between the expression level of Hsp27 and Hsp72 and induction of apoptosis in HeLa cells in response to quercetin treatment. Treatment of HeLa cells with quercetin or with 1hr period of hyperthermia (42 degrees) increased the number of apoptotic cells. Inhibition of the expression of Hsp72 and Hsp27 in tumour cells by anti-sense oligonucleotides, enhanced the induction of apoptosis by quercetin. Heat shock itself had little effect on apoptotic cell death in these cells, but when combined with quercetin treatment, caused a significant increase in the number of apoptotic cells. These results suggest that the reduction of Hsps expression in the HeLa cell line promotes the induction of apoptosis by quercetin.

Abstract
The exposure of human fibroblasts (HF) aging in vitro to heat shock resulted in an attenuated expression of the heat shock-inducible HSP70. When late passage cells were cultured in the continuous presence of serum, we observed a reduced accumulation of the cytoplasmic polyadenylated HSP70 mRNA. The levels of HSF1 activation and nuclear HSP70 mRNA were comparable to those of early passage cells (M. A. Bonelli et al., Exp. Cell Res. 252, 20-32, 1999). When late passage cells were serum-starved overnight, we observed a reduced activation of HSF1 and a decreased level of HSP70 mRNA during heat shock. However, at 37 degrees C the levels of HSF1 differed little between late passage HF and early passage cells, irrespective of the presence of serum. Interestingly, during heat shock a marked decrease in the level and, consequently, in the binding activity of HSF1 was noted only in serum-starved, late passage HF. The decrease in the level of HSF1 was counteracted by back addition of serum to the cells during heat shock. Addition of the specific proteasome inhibitor MG132 blocked a decrease in HSF1 during heat shock, maintaining levels observed in late passage cells and HSF1 activity comparable to that of early passage HF. The recovery of the level and activity of HSF1 observed in late passage HF incubated in the presence of MG132 suggests that heat shock unmasks a latent proteasome activity responsible for HSF1 degradation.

Abstract
Cells respond to a heat shock by synthesizing heat shock proteins, which help to protect the cells from further heating. Recent results indicate that heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) may help to protect cells from apoptosis. We have used flow cytometry to investigate the relationship between constitutive and inducible hsp70 and apoptosis through the cell cycle in HL-60 cells. Specific antibodies were used to measure hsp70 in cells costained with propidium iodide. In separate samples apoptosis was measured using the TdT assay. The apoptotic cells have a subdiploid DNA content, which allows them to be identified also in the bivariate histograms of heat shock protein vs DNA content. After HL-60 cells were heated at 45.0 degrees C for 7.5 min and incubated for various times at 37 degrees C, many of them underwent apoptosis. The level of inducible hsp70 (hsp72) was lower in the apoptotic cells than in the nonapoptotic population, but constitutive hsp70 (hsp73) was the same in both populations. Pretreatment with sodium vanadate increased the fraction of apoptotic cells twofold, slightly increased the level of hsp72 in the nonapoptotic cells, but did not affect hsp73. These results suggest that hsp72, but not hsp73, is involved in the development or prevention of apoptosis.

Abstract
The levels of constitutive and inducible forms of heat shock protein 70 (hsp73 and hsp72, respectively) through the cell cycle were measured in CHO cells by flow cytometry and Western blotting at various times after heating. Cells were labeled with antibody C92 (hsp72) or N27 (hsp73) and propidium iodide prior to analysis by flow cytometry. Cells were heated for 15 min at 45 degrees C, then analyzed from 3 to 36 h later. There was about a tenfold increase in hsp72 in early S phase cells beginning within 6 h after heating and these cells gradually cycled though S phase so by 36 h most of them had divided. When CHO cells were exposed to 10 microM sodium vanadate, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase, for 24 h prior to heating, the induction of hsp72 in early S phase cells was almost completely inhibited. Heated cells did not express hsp73 in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. Hsp73 increased uniformly in all cells by 10 h after heating and sodium vanadate did not affect the expression. Quantitative comparisons of the relative levels of hsp72 and hsp73 measured by flow cytometry and Western blotting were in excellent agreement. Control and heated cells were labeled with Hoechst 33342 and sorted from G1, S, and G2/M phases and processed by Western blotting to verify the cell cycle dependent increase in hsp72 as measured by flow cytometry. Again there was excellent agreement between the Western blotting and flow cytometry results.
