Abstract
Sertoli cells are an important type of somatic cell in the testis that are in direct contact with spermatogonia in vivo and play an important role in the process of spermatogenesis. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the mammalian cell heat stress response. For example, CGA treatment protects porcine oocytes from heat stress-induced apoptosis and prevents reduced embryo quality. However, the role of CGA treatment in protecting porcine testicular Sertoli cells against heat-induced damage has rarely been studied. This study aimed to identify the protective effects of CGA on oxidative stress and apoptosis in Sertoli cells under heat stress. The present results demonstrated that the addition of CGA significantly inhibited the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis in Sertoli cells induced by heat stress and decreased the expression of CASP3 protein and the BAX/BCL-2 protein ratio. CGA pretreatment also prevented the heat stress-induced reductions in the mitochondrial membrane potential, PCNA protein expression, and SOD and CAT activities. Moreover, CGA treatment reversed S phase cell cycle arrest and increased the HSP70 protein expression levels. Overall, these results suggest that oxidative damage participates in the inhibition of the proliferation of Sertoli cells and the increase in their apoptosis induced by heat stress, and the protective effects of CGA treatment on Sertoli cells under heat stress provide a theoretical basis for preventing heat stress injury in animals.

Abstract
Mild hyperthermia, local heating of the tumour up to temperatures <43 °C, has been clinically applied for almost four decades and has been proven to substantially enhance the effectiveness of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy in treatment of primary and recurrent tumours. Clinical results and mechanisms of action are discussed in this review, including the molecular and biological rationale of hyperthermia as radio- and chemosensitizer as established in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Proven mechanisms include inhibition of different DNA repair processes, (in)direct reduction of the hypoxic tumour cell fraction, enhanced drug uptake, increased perfusion and oxygen levels. All mechanisms show different dose effect relationships and different optimal scheduling with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, obtaining the ideal multi-modality treatment still requires elucidation of more detailed data on dose, sequence, duration, and possible synergisms between modalities. A multidisciplinary approach with different modalities including hyperthermia might further increase anti-tumour effects and diminish normal tissue damage.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism behind hyperthermia coupled to radiation-induced DNA damage sensitivity is not known. The model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to establish that a transient heat shock and particularly the concomitant induction of Hsp90 lead to increased genomic instability via transcriptional regulation of the major checkpoint kinase Rad53. It is well documented that elevated body temperature causes tumors to regress upon radiotherapy. However, how hyperthermia induces DNA damage sensitivity is not clear. We show that a transient heat shock and particularly the concomitant induction of Hsp90 lead to increased genomic instability under DNA-damaging conditions. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model eukaryote, we demonstrate that elevated levels of Hsp90 attenuate efficient DNA damage signaling and dictate preferential use of the potentially mutagenic double-strand break repair pathway. We show that under normal physiological conditions, Hsp90 negatively regulates RAD53 transcription to suppress DNA damage checkpoint activation. However, under DNA damaging conditions, RAD53 is derepressed, and the increased level of Rad53p triggers an efficient DNA damage response. A higher abundance of Hsp90 causes increased transcriptional repression on RAD53 in a dose-dependent manner, which could not be fully derepressed even in the presence of DNA damage. Accordingly, cells behave like a rad53 loss-of-function mutant and show reduced NHEJ efficiency, with a drastic failure to up-regulate RAD51 expression and manifestly faster accumulation of CLN1 and CLN2 in DNA-damaged G1, cells leading to premature release from checkpoint arrest. We further demonstrate that Rad53 overexpression is able to rescue all of the aforementioned deleterious effects caused by Hsp90 overproduction.

Abstract
Utilization of thermal therapy (hyperthermia) is defined as the application of exogenous heat induction and represents a concept that is far from new as it goes back to ancient times when heat was used for treating various diseases, including malignancies. Such therapeutic strategy has gained even more popularity (over the last few decades) since various studies have shed light into understanding hyperthermia's underlying molecular mechanism(s) of action. In general, hyperthermia is applied as complementary (adjuvant) means in therapeutic protocols combining chemotherapy and/or irradiation both of which can induce irreversible cellular DNA damage. Furthermore, according to a number of in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies, hyperthermia has been shown to enhance the beneficial effects of DNA targeting therapeutic strategies by interfering with DNA repair response cascades. Therefore, the continuously growing evidence supporting hyperthermia's beneficial role in cancer treatment can also encourage its application as a DNA repair mitigation strategy. In this review article, we aim to provide detailed information on how hyperthermia acts on DNA damage and repair pathways and thus potentially contributing to various adjuvant therapeutic protocols relevant to more efficient cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
The currently available arsenal of anticancer modalities includes many DNA damaging agents that can kill malignant cells. However, efficient DNA repair mechanisms protect both healthy and cancer cells against the effects of treatment and contribute to the development of drug resistance. Therefore, anti-cancer treatments based on inflicting DNA damage can benefit from inhibition of DNA repair. Hyperthermia – treatment at elevated temperature – considerably affects DNA repair, among other cellular processes, and can thus sensitize (cancer) cells to DNA damaging agents. This effect has been known and clinically applied for many decades, but how heat inhibits DNA repair and which pathways are targeted has not been fully elucidated. In this review we attempt to summarize the known effects of hyperthermia on DNA repair pathways relevant in clinical treatment of cancer. Furthermore, we outline the relationships between the effects of heat on DNA repair and sensitization of cells to various DNA damaging agents.

Abstract
Heat stress is one of the best-studied cellular stress factors; however, little is known about its delayed effects. Here, we demonstrate that heat stress induces p21-dependent cellular senescence-like cell cycle arrest. Notably, only early S-phase cells undergo such an arrest in response to heat stress. The encounter of DNA replication forks with topoisomerase I-generated single-stranded DNA breaks resulted in the generation of persistent double-stranded DNA breaks was found to be a primary cause of heat stress-induced cellular senescence in these cells. This investigation of heat stress-induced cellular senescence elucidates the mechanisms underlying the exclusive sensitivity of early S-phase cells to ultra-low doses of agents that induce single-stranded DNA breaks.

Abstract
Peregrine Laziosi (1265–1345), an Italian priest, became the patron saint of cancer patients when the tumour in his left leg miraculously disappeared after he developed a fever. Elevated body temperature can cause tumours to regress and sensitizes cancer cells to agents that break DNA. Why hyperthermia blocks the repair of broken chromosomes by changing the way that the DNA damage checkpoint kinases ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) are activated is an unanswered question. This review discusses the current knowledge of how heat affects the ATR–Chk1 and ATM–Chk2 kinase networks, and provides a possible explanation of why homeothermal organisms such as humans still possess this ancient heat response.

Abstract
Heat shock (HS) is one of the best-studied exogenous cellular stresses. The cellular response to HS utilizes ancient molecular networks that are based primarily on the action of stress-induced heat shock proteins and HS factors. However, in one way or another, all cellular compartments and metabolic processes are involved in such a response. In this review, we aimed to summarize the experimental data concerning all aspects of the HS response in mammalian cells, such as HS-induced structural and functional alterations of cell membranes, the cytoskeleton and cellular organelles; the associated pathways that result in different modes of cell death and cell cycle arrest; and the effects of HS on transcription, splicing, translation, DNA repair, and replication.

Abstract
Local hyperthermia is an effective treatment modality to augment radio- and chemotherapy-based anti-cancer treatments. Although the effect of hyperthermia is pleotropic, recent experiments revealed that homologous recombination, a pathway of DNA repair, is directly inhibited by hyperthermia. The hyperthermia-induced DNA repair deficiency is enhanced by inhibitors of the cellular heat-shock response. Taken together, these results provide the rationale for the development of novel anti-cancer therapies that combine hyperthermia-induced homologous recombination deficiency with the systemic administration of drugs that specifically affect the viability of homologous recombination deficient cells and/or inhibit the heat-shock response, to locally sensitise cancer cells to DNA damaging agents.

Abstract
Exposure of human cells to heat switches the activating signal of the DNA damage checkpoint from genotoxic to temperature stress. This change reduces mitotic commitment at the expense of DNA break repair. The thermal alterations behind this switch remain elusive despite the successful use of heat to sensitise cancer cells to DNA breaks. Rad9 is a highly conserved subunit of the Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 (9-1-1) checkpoint-clamp that is loaded by Rad17 onto damaged chromatin. At the DNA, Rad9 activates the checkpoint kinases Rad3(ATR) and Chk1 to arrest cells in G2. Using Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model eukaryote, we discovered a new variant of Rad9, Rad9-M50, whose expression is specifically induced by heat. High temperatures promote alternative translation from a cryptic initiation codon at methionine-50. This process is restricted to cycling cells and is independent of the temperature-sensing mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. While full-length Rad9 delays mitosis in the presence of DNA lesions, Rad9-M50 functions in a remodelled checkpoint pathway to reduce mitotic commitment at elevated temperatures. This remodelled pathway still relies on Rad1 and Hus1, but acts independently of Rad17. Heat-induction of Rad9-M50 ensures that the kinase Chk1 remains in a hypo-phosphorylated state. Elevated temperatures specifically reverse the DNA-damage-induced modification of Chk1 in a manner dependent on Rad9-M50. Taken together, heat reprogrammes the DNA damage checkpoint at the level of Chk1 by inducing a Rad9 variant that can act outside of the canonical 9-1-1 complex.

Abstract
This paper examined heat-induced radiosensitization in two Chinese hamster heat-resistant cell lines, HR-1 and OC-14, that were isolated from the same wild-type HA-1 cell line. It found a reduction of the magnitude of heat-induced radiosensitization after exposure to 43 degrees C in both HR-1 and OC-14 cells and a similar reduction after exposure to 45 degrees C in HR-1 cells, but not in OC-14 cells. The effect of heat exposure on a class of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage that inhibits the ability of nuclear DNA to undergo super-coiling changes was also studied using the fluorescent halo assay in these three cell lines. Wild type cells exposed to either 43 or 45 degrees C before irradiation had a DNA rewinding ability that was intermediate between control and unheated cells, a phenomenon previously described as a masking effect. This masking effect was significantly reduced in HR-1 cells exposed to either 43 or 45 degrees C or in OC-14 cells exposed to 43 degrees C under conditions that heat-induced radiosensitization was reduced. In contrast, the masking effect was not altered in OC-14 cells exposed to 45 degrees C, conditions under which heat-induced radiosensitization was similar to that observed in wild-type HA-1 cells. These results suggest that a reduction in the masking effect is associated with a reduction of the magnitude of heat-induced radiosensitization in the HR-1 and OC-14 heat-resistant cell lines. The reduction of the masking effect in the cell lines resistant to heat-induced radiosensitization was associated with neither a reduction in the magnitude of the heat-induced increase in total nuclear protein content nor major differences in the protein profiles of the nucleoids isolated from heated cells.

Abstract
Covalent conjugation of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins to target proteins regulates many important eukaryotic cellular mechanisms. Although the molecular consequences of the conjugation of SUMO proteins are relatively well understood, little is known about the cellular signals that regulate the modification of their substrates. Here, we show that SUMO-2 and SUMO-3 are required for cells to survive heat shock. Through quantitative labeling techniques, stringent purification of SUMOylated proteins, advanced mass spectrometric technology, and novel techniques of data analysis, we quantified heat shock-induced changes in the SUMOylation state of 766 putative substrates. In response to heat shock, SUMO was polymerized into polySUMO chains and redistributed among a wide range of proteins involved in cell cycle regulation; apoptosis; the trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins; transcription; translation; and DNA replication, recombination, and repair. This comprehensive proteomic analysis of the substrates of a ubiquitin-like modifier (Ubl) identifies a pervasive role for SUMO proteins in the biologic response to hyperthermic stress.

Abstract
We have studied cell sensitivity to Notch pathway signalling throughout the cell cycle. As model system, we used the Drosophila bristle lineage where at each division N plays a crucial role in fate determination. Using in vivo imaging, we followed this lineage and activated the N-pathway at different moments of the secondary precursor cell cycle. We show that cells are more susceptible to respond to N-signalling during the S-phase. Thus, the period of heightened sensitivity coincided with the period of the S-phase. More importantly, modifications of S-phase temporality induced corresponding changes in the period of the cell's reactivity to N-activation. Moreover, S-phase abolition was correlated with a decrease in the expression of tramtrack, a downstream N-target gene. Finally, N cell responsiveness was modified after changes in chromatin packaging. We suggest that high-order chromatin structures associated with the S-phase create favourable conditions that increase the efficiency of the transcriptional machinery with respect to N-target genes.

Abstract
The goal of this review is to provide a brief introduction to the effects of hyperthermia on cellular structures and physiology. The review focuses on the effects of hyperthermia thought to contribute to the enhancement of cancer therapy namely the mechanisms of cell killing and the sensitization of cells to ionizing radiation or chemotherapeutic agents. Specifically the review addresses four topics: hyperthermia induced cell killing, mathematical models of cell killing, mechanisms of thermal effects in the hyperthermia temperature range and effects on proteins that contribute to resistance to other stresses, i.e., DNA damage. Hyperthermia has significant effects on proteins including unfolding, exposing hydrophobic groups, and aggregation with proteins not directly altered by hyperthermia. Protein aggregation has effects throughout the cell but has a significant impact within the nucleus. Changes in the associations of nuclear proteins particularly those involved in DNA replication cause the stalling of DNA replication forks and lead to the induction of DNA damage such as double strand breaks. It has long been recognized that heat has effects on plasma membrane protein distribution alters the permeability of plasma membranes resulting in a calcium spike and disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential resulting in the change in the redox status of cells. These effects contribute to the protein unfolding effects of hyperthermia and contribute to effects observed in the nucleus. Thus heat effects on multiple cellular targets can be integrated through global effects on protein folding to affect specific end points such as cell killing and sensitization to additional stresses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Induction of hyperthermia by radiofrequency ablation is gaining popularity in treating a variety of solid tumors. This study examined an impact of sublethal heat treatment interacted with chemotherapeutic drugs on the survival of head and neck squamous carcinoma cells using in vitro model. MATERIALS AND METHODS FaDu cells were subjected to heat treatment at 42 degrees C or 45 degrees C for 15 min either before or after exposure to cisplatin or hydroxyurea. The survival of cells was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The RNA and protein levels of various heat shock proteins were examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis, respectively. Cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry with propidium iodide staining. RESULTS FaDu cells preheated to 45 degrees C exhibited an increased resistance to hydroxyurea but not to cisplatin. The heat treatment resulted in induction of HSP70 expression at transcript and protein levels, but there was no change in expression of HSP90beta and HSP27. After heat treatment, cells accumulated in S-phase at 3 h and proceeded to G(2)/M phase at 24 h. When cells pre-exposed to drugs for 24 h, the cisplatin-treated cells exhibited a higher thermotolerance than the hydroxyurea-treated cells at heat treatment of 45 degrees C. Cisplatin and hydroxyurea caused cells to accumulate in S-phase and increased the protein expression of HSP27 but not HSP90beta and HSP70. CONCLUSION FaDu cells surviving the heat treatment expressed HSP70 and disrupted cell cycle progression, which resulted in developing a resistance to subsequent hydroxyurea treatment. However, the heat treatment did not have an effect on the sensitivity to cisplatin. In the reversed procedure, pre-exposure to hydroxyurea and cisplatin resulted in developing a thermotolerance.

Abstract
The nuclear matrix (NM) has been identified as a potential target for heat-induced cell killing. Previous studies have shown that heat-shock may significantly modulate lamin B content. Since changes in NM structure have often been accompanied by changes in protein composition, we investigated whether hyperthermia induced changes in nuclear lamina (NL) structure in non-tolerant and thermotolerant cells, and the implications of these changes on cell survival. Using indirect immunofluorescence techniques and confocal microscopy, we found that heating cells at 42 or 45.5 degrees C caused invaginations and other distortions of the peripheral NL. While hyperthermia did not alter the number or structure of internal lamin B foci, heat-induced alterations to the peripheral NL were dose-dependent. Interestingly, NL structure recovered with time after heating in cells that were destined to live or die. Thermotolerant cells heated at 45.5 degrees C showed similar initial changes in the NL compared to non-tolerant cells, but recovery occurred much faster. Taken together, these results suggest that the amount of initial damage to the peripheral NL is not correlated with heat-induced cell killing. However, the possibility that an increased rate of recovery might confer a survival advantage cannot be discounted.

Abstract
DNA-nuclear matrix (NM) anchoring plays a critical role in the organization of DNA within the nucleus and in functional access to DNA for transcription, replication, and DNA repair. The cellular response to oxidative stress involves both gene expression and DNA repair. We, therefore, determined if changes in the oxidative-reductive environment can affect DNA-NM anchoring. The present study used two approaches to study the effect of the reducing agent DTT on DNA-NM anchoring. First, the relative stringency of the DNA-NM attachment was determined by measuring the ability of NM attached DNA loops to undergo supercoiling changes. Second, the effects of DTT on the association of nuclear proteins with DNA were determined by cisplatin crosslinking. When nucleoids (nuclear matrices with attached DNA loops) were prepared from HeLa cells with 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), supercoiled DNA loops unwound more efficiently compared with control in the presence of increasing propidium iodide (PI) concentrations. In addition, the rewinding of DNA supercoils in nucleoids treated with DTT was inhibited. Both effects on DNA supercoiling ability were reversed by diamide suggesting that they are dependent on the oxidation state of the protein thiols. When DTT treated nucleoids were isolated from gamma-irradiated cells, the inhibition of DNA supercoil rewinding was equal to the sum of the inhibition due to DTT and gamma-rays alone. Nucleoids isolated from heat-shocked cells with DTT, showed no inhibition of DNA rewinding, except a small inhibition at high PI concentrations. Nuclear DNA in DTT-treated nuclei was digested faster by DNase I than in untreated nuclei. These results suggest that DTT is altering DNA-NM anchoring by affecting the protein component(s) of the anchoring complex. Extracting NM with increasing concentrations of DTT did not solubilize any protein to a significant extent until measurable NM disintegration occurred. Therefore, we determined if 1 mM DTT affected the ability of 1 mM cisplatin to crosslink proteins to DNA. Isolated nuclei were treated with 1 mM DTT for 30 min or left untreated prior to crosslinking with 1 mM cisplatin for 2 h at 4 degrees C. The ability of capsulation to crosslink DNA to proteins per se, did not appear to be affected by 1 mM DTT because relative amounts of at least four proteins, 69, 60, 40, and 35 kDa, were crosslinked to DNA to the same extent in DTT-treated and untreated nuclei. However, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) crosslinked to DNA in untreated nuclei, but did not crosslink DNA in nuclei that were treated with 1 mM DTT; 1 mM DTT did not affect the intranuclear localization of PDI. Thus, DTT appears to alter the conformation of PDI, as suggested by the DTT-induced change in DNA association, but not its NM association. These results also imply that DNA-NM anchoring involves the redox state of protein sulfhydryl groups.

Abstract
AIM: To explore the etiologic role of HPV infection in esophageal carcinoma, and the association of HPV-16 E6 with the nuclear matrix of carcinoma cells.
METHODS: Two esophageal carcinoma cell lines, EC/CUHK1 and EC/CUHK2, were tested for HPV-16 E6 subgenetic fragment by polymer a se chain reaction amplification of virus DNA associated nuclear matrix. RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry were also used to visualize the expression of E6 subgene in the cells.
RESULTS: The HPV-16 E6 subgenetic fragment was found to be present in nuclear matrix-associated DNA, E6 oncoprotein localized in the nucleus where it is tightly associated with nuclear matrix after sequential extraction in EC/CUHK2 cells. It was not detected, however, in EC/CUHK1 cells.
CONCLUSION: The interaction between HPV-16 E6 and nuclear matrix may contribute to the virus induced carcinogenesis in esophageal carcinoma.
