A preliminary study on changes in heat shock protein 70 levels induced by Fusarium mycotoxins in rats: in vivo study. Mycotoxin Res 2021; 37:141-148. [PMID: 33665736 PMCID: PMC8163673 DOI: 10.1007/s12550-021-00425-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Revised: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The heat shock protein (Hsp70) level was assessed after 14 days of oral gavage-exposure to fumonisin B1 (FB1: 150 µg/animal/day), deoxynivalenol (DON: 30 µg/animal/day) and zearalenone (ZEN: 150 µg/animal/day), alone or in combinations (in additive manner: FD = FB1 + DON, FZ = FB1 + ZEN, DZ = DON + ZEN and FDZ = FB1 + DON + ZEN) in the liver, kidneys and lung of 24 adult male Wistar rats (n = 3/group). The liver was the most responsive tissue, as compared with kidney and lung. Except of DZ-treatment, mycotoxins elevated the Hsp70 levels in livers. The highest Hsp70-levels (≈ twofold) were in the DON, FD, FZ and FDZ treatments (additive effects). In the kidney, alterations (↑ ≈ twofold) were detected in ZEN, FD, FZ and DZ treatments. The least responsive organ was the lung (↑ only in FDZ, antagonistic effect). DON and ZEA exposures have altered the reduced glutathione concentration (↓) and glutathione peroxidase activity (↓) in the blood serum. The serum malondialdehyde level increased only after exposure to FD (synergistic effect), as compared with the DZ group (antagonistic effect). When the blood clinical chemistry was assessed, significant alterations were in alanine aminotransferase (80% increase in FDZ, antagonistic effect) and total protein (↓ ZEN). Results varied according to the organ, toxin type and interactions. Furthermore, oxidative stress was not the only key player behind the Hsp70 increase, in which another mechanism is suggested.

Abstract
Background The periodontal disease is caused by a set of inflammatory disorders characterized by periodontal pocket formation that lead to tooth loss if untreated. The proteomic profile and related molecular conditions of pocket tissue in periodontally-affected patients are not reported in literature. To characterize the proteomic profile of periodontally-affected patients, their interproximal periodontal pocket tissue was compared with that of periodontally-healthy patients. Pocket-associated and healthy tissue samples, harvested during surgical therapy, were treated to extract the protein content. Tissues were always collected at sites where no periodontal-pathogenic bacteria were detectable. Proteins were separated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and identified by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. After identification, four proteins were selected for subsequent Western Blot quantitation both in pathological and healty tissues. Results A significant unbalance in protein expression between healthy and pathological sites was recorded. Thirty-two protein spots were overall identified, and four proteins (S100A9, HSPB1, LEG7 and 14-3-3) were selected for Western blot analysis of both periodontally-affected and healthy patients. The four selected proteins resulted over-expressed in periodontal pocket tissue when compared with the corresponding tissue of periodontally-healthy patients. The results of Western blot analysis are congruent with the defensive and the regenerative reaction of injured periodontal tissues. Conclusions The proteomic analysis was performed for the first time directly on periodontal pocket tissue. The proteomic network highlighted in this study enhances the understanding of periodontal disease pathogenesis necessary for specific therapeutic strategies setting.

Calorie restriction with a high-fat diet effectively attenuated inflammatory response and oxidative stress-related markers in obese tissues of the high diet fed rats. Mediators Inflamm 2012; 2012:984643.

Abstract
Obesity characterized by increased mass of adipose tissue leads to systemic inflammation. Calorie restriction (CR) improves parameters associated with immune response and antioxidant defense. We hypothesized that CR with a high fat diet (HFCR) regulates local and systemic inflammation and oxidative stress damage in a high fat diet induced obesity (HF group). We investigated effect of HFCR on inflammation and oxidative stress-related markers in liver and adipose tissues as well as adipokines in plasma. HFCR lowered liver triglyceride levels, total cholesterol levels, and the plasma leptin/adiponectin ratio to normal levels and improved glucose tolerance. HFCR also improved fatty liver and normalized adipocyte size and morphology. HFCR reduced lipid peroxidation and decreased the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthetase, cyclooxygenase-2, NF-E2-related factor, and heme oxygenase-1 in the liver. Moreover, HFCR suppressed the expression levels of C- reactive protein and manganese superoxide dismutase in the adipose tissue in the HF group. These results suggest that HFCR may have beneficial effects on inflammation and oxidative stress as well as lipid profiles in the HF diet induced obesity. Moreover, HFCR may be a good way to increase compliance in obese patients and to prevent obesity induced complications without changes in dietary pattern.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Heat shock protein (HSP) 70, a conserved member of the stress protein family, is produced in almost all cell types in response to a wide range of stressful stimuli, and its production has a survival value. Evidence suggests that extracellular HSP70 is involved in the activation of the innate and adaptive immune response. Furthermore, increased mRNA expression of HSP70 has been observed in human fetal membranes following endotoxin stimulation. This study was conducted to determine the changes in amniotic fluid HSP70 concentrations during pregnancy, term and preterm parturition, intra-amniotic infection (IAI), and histologic chorioamnionitis. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study was conducted in 376 pregnant women in the following groups: (1) women with a normal pregnancy who were classified into the following categories: (a) women in the mid-trimester (14-18 weeks) who underwent amniocentesis for genetic indications and delivered normal infants at term (n=72); (b) women at term not in labor (n = 23); and (c) those at term in labor (n = 48). (2) Women with spontaneous preterm labor and intact membranes who were subdivided into the following categories: (a) preterm labor who delivered at term without IAI (n = 42); (b) preterm labor who delivered preterm without IAI (n = 57); and (c) preterm labor and delivery with IAI (n = 30). (3) Women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) with (n = 50) and without (n = 54) IAI. Among patients with preterm labor with intact membranes and preterm PROM who delivered within 72 hours of amniocentesis, placenta, umbilical cord, and chorioamniotic membranes were collected and assessed for the presence or absence of acute inflammatory lesions in the extraplacental membranes (histologic chorioamnionitis) and/or umbilical cords (funisitis). HSP70 concentrations in amniotic fluid were determined using a sensitive and specific immunoassay. Non-parametric statistics were used for analysis. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Immunoreactive HSP70 was detected in 88% (332/376) of amniotic fluid samples. The median amniotic fluid HSP70 concentration was significantly higher in women at term without labor than in those in the mid-trimester (term no labor: median 34.9 ng/mL, range 0-78.1 ng/mL vs. mid-trimester; median 6.6 ng/mL, range 0-20.8 ng/mL; p<0.001). Among patients with spontaneous preterm labor and preterm PROM, those with IAI had a significantly higher median amniotic fluid HSP70 concentration than those without IAI (preterm labor with IAI: median 82.9 ng/mL, range 0-500 ng/mL vs. preterm labor without IAI: median 41.7 ng/mL, range 0-244 ng/mL; p = 0.001; preterm PROM with IAI: median 86.5 ng/mL, range 0-428 ng/mL vs. preterm PROM without IAI: median 55.9 ng/mL, range 14.9-299.9 ng/mL; p = 0.007). There was no significant difference in the median amniotic fluid HSP70 concentration between patients with preterm labor who delivered preterm without IAI and those who delivered at term (p = 0.6). However, among patients with preterm labor without IAI, there was an inverse relationship between amniotic fluid concentration of HSP70 and the amniocentesis-to-spontaneous delivery interval (Spearman's Rho = -0.26; p = 0.02). Patients with histologic chorioamnionitis/funisitis had a significantly higher median amniotic fluid HSP70 concentration than those without inflammation (inflammation: median 108.7 ng/mL, range 0-500 ng/mL vs. without inflammation: median 67.9 ng/mL, range 7.1-299.9 ng/mL; p = 0.02). Women at term in labor had a median amniotic fluid concentration of HSP70 significantly higher than those not in labor (term in labor: median 60.7 ng/mL, range 0-359.9 ng/mL vs. term not in labor: median 34.9 ng/mL, range 0-78.1 ng/mL; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Intra-amniotic infection, histologic chorioamnionitis, and term parturition are associated with elevated amniotic fluid HSP70 concentrations. HSP70 plays a role in the host defense mechanism by activating the innate arm of the immune response in women with intrauterine infection. The mechanisms of preterm and term parturition in humans may involve extracellular HSP70.

Abstract
The expression of heat-shock proteins (hsp) increases after exposure to various stresses including elevated temperatures, oxidative injury, infection and inflammation. As molecular chaperones, hsp have been shown to participate in antigen processing and presentation, in part through increasing the stability and expression of major histocompatibility complex molecules. Heat shock selectively increases human T-cell responses to processed antigen, but does not affect T-cell proliferation induced by non-processed antigens. Here, we have analysed the mechanisms by which stress such as heat shock, and the ensuing hsp over-expression affect the processing of diphtheria toxin (DT) in peripheral blood monocytes. We found that heat shock increased DT proteolysis in endosomes and lysosomes while the activities of the cathepsins B and D, classically involved in DT proteolysis, were decreased. These effects correlated with the heat-shock-mediated increase in hsp 70 expression observed in endosomes and lysosomes. Actinomycin D or blocking anti-hsp 70 antibodies abolished the heat-shock-mediated increase in DT proteolysis. These data indicate that the increased expression of hsp 70 constitutes a subsidiary mechanism that facilitates antigen proteolysis in stressed cells. Confirming these data, presentation by formaldehyde-fixed cells of DT proteolysates that were obtained with endosomes and lysosomes from heat-shocked peripheral blood monocytes showed higher stimulation of T cells than those generated with endosomes and lysosomes from control peripheral blood monocytes.

Abstract
We evaluated DNA protection effect of heat shock protein (HSP) against cytotoxic effects of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI). Cultured human corneal fibroblasts were divided into 4 groups. Control (Group I) was not exposed to a sub-lethal heat treatment. Other 3 groups were exposed to 43 degrees C for 1 hr, then incubated at 37 degrees C during different duration (1, 6, 24 hr, Group II, III, IV, respectively). Expression pattern of HSP 70 was analyzed by Western blot. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay and the relationship between HSP 70 expression and DNA damage was examined by terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick and labeling (TUNEL) stain and single cell gel electrophoresis. Expression pattern of HSP 70 was dependent on recovery times. Cell viability following heat treatment was significantly increased and the TUNEL positive cell number was decreased at 6 hr. In single cell gel electrophoresis, tail moments were increased in a dose-dependent manner by SNAP and X/XO. Following heat treatment, tail moments showed decreased significantly at 6 hr. These results suggest that induction of HSP 70 by sub-lethal heat treatment is closely related with cytoprotective effects against oxidative stresses in human corneal fibroblasts.

Abstract
Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under various pathophysiological conditions. In isolated mitochondria, fatty acids (FA) exhibit an uncoupling effect of the respiratory activity and modulate ROS generation. The effect of FA on intact cultured cells remains to be elucidated. The present study reports that FA (buffered by BSA) decrease the level of cellular ROS generated by the mitochondrial respiratory chain in cultured cells incubated with antimycin A. Both saturated and unsaturated FA are effective. This fatty acid-induced antioxidant effect does not result from a decrease in ROS production, but is subsequent to cellular glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activation and enhanced ROS degradation. This fatty acid-induced GPx activation is mediated through epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling, since this response is (i) abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 or by a defect in EGFR (in EGFR-deficient B82L fibroblasts), (ii) restored in B82LK+ cells expressing EGFR and (iii) mimicked by epidermal growth factor. These findings indicate that FA contribute to enhance cellular antioxidant defences against mitochondrial oxidative stress through EGFR-dependent GPx activation.

Abstract
Heat and a variety of other stressors cause mammalian cells and tissues to acquire cytoprotection. This transient state of altered cellular physiology is nonproliferative and antiapoptotic. In this study, male Wistar rats were stress conditioned with either stannous chloride or gallium nitrate, which have immunosuppressive effects in vivo and in vitro, or heat shock, the most intensively studied inducer of cytoprotection. The early stages of inflammation in response to topical suffusion of mesentery tissue with formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) were monitored using intravital microscopy. Microvascular hemodynamics (venular diameter, red blood cell velocity [Vrbc], white blood cell [WBC] flux, and leukocyte-endothelial adhesion [LEA]) were used as indicators of inflammation, and tissue levels of inducible Hsp70, determined using immunoblot assays, provided a marker of cytoprotection. None of the experimental treatments blocked decreases in WBC flux during FMLP suffusion, an indicator of increased low-affinity interactions between leukocytes and vascular endothelium known as rolling adhesion. During FMLP suffusion LEA, an indicator of firm attachment between leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells increased in placebo and gallium nitrate-treated animals but not in heat- and stannous chloride-treated animals, an anti-inflammatory effect. Hsp70 was not detected in aortic tissue from placebo and gallium nitrate-treated animals, indicating that Hsp70-dependent cytoprotection was not present. In contrast, Hsp70 was detected in aortic tissues from heat- and stannous chloride-treated animals, indicating that these tissues were in a cytoprotected state that was also an anti-inflammatory state.

Abstract
Prostaglandins of the A type (PGA) exert a cytoprotective activity during hyperthermia and virus infection. This effect is associated with induction of heat shock proteins (HSP) in mammalian cells. We now report that, in human monocytes, PGA1 is able to induce the synthesis of the iron-binding, redox-regulated protein ferritin. L-chain ferritin induction is consequent to a substantial increase in the accumulation of L-chain ferritin transcripts in PGA1-treated cells, whereas H-chain ferritin is regulated post-transcriptionally, consequently to reduction of iron-regulatory protein binding to iron-responsive elements in ferritin mRNA. Ferritin induction is specific for cyclopentenone prostaglandins (PGA1, PGA2, PGJ2, Delta12-PGJ2), whereas other arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites have no effect. In human monocytes, PGA1 also induces heat shock gene transcription via heat shock factor activation, as well as the synthesis of the oxidative-stress protein heme oxygenase (HOS). Differently from HSP, the induction of ferritin by PGA1 is specific for monocytes. Monocytes/macrophages play a pivotal role in inflammation, controlling iron metabolism and releasing a variety of mediators, including proinflammatory reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytokines and AA metabolites. As ferritin, together with hsp70 and HO, plays a key role in protection from oxidant damage, these results suggest that PGA1 may have cytoprotective activity also during oxidative injury.

Abstract
Abstract
Genetic knock-out in mice of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) can prolong inflammation in response to leukotriene B4. Although cyclooxygenase 2 has been shown to be induced by PPAR activation, the effect of PPAR agonists on the key inflammatory enzyme systems of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and stress proteins has not been investigated. The effect on these of naturally occurring eicosanoid PPAR agonists (leukotriene B4 and 8(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, which are PPARα selective; PGA2, PGD2, PGJ2, and Δ12PGJ2, which are PPARγ selective) and the synthetic PPARα agonist Wy14,643 was examined in activated RAW264.7 murine macrophages. Leukotriene B4 and 8(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid stimulated nitrite accumulation, indicative of enhanced NOS activity. PGA2, PGD2, PGJ2, Δ12PGJ2, and Wy14,643 reduced nitrite accumulation, with Δ12PGJ2 being the most effective. The mechanism behind this reduction was examined using Western blotting. Inhibition of nitrite accumulation was associated with a fall in inducible NOS protein and an induction of heme oxygenase 1, correlating both dose dependently and temporally. Other proteins examined (cyclooxygenase 2, heme oxygenase 2, heat shock protein 70, and glucose-regulated protein 78) were unaffected. The data suggest that naturally occurring PPAR agonists can inhibit the inducible NOS enzyme pathway. This inhibition may be mediated by modulation of the stress protein, heme oxygenase 1. Thus, the generation of eicosanoid breakdown products during inflammation may contribute to its eventual resolution by activation of the PPAR system. This system may thus represent a novel target for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory disease.
