Differential Roles of Three α-Crystallin Domain-Containing sHsps of Beauveria bassiana in Asexual Development, Multiple Stress Tolerance and Virulence. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126717. [PMID: 35743166 PMCID: PMC9224193 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) containing conserved α-crystallin domain play important roles in many cellular processes, but little is known about the functions of sHsps in filamentous entomopathogens. Here, three sHsps of Hsp20, Hsp30a, and Hsp30b were characterized in Beauveria bassiana, a filamentous fungal insect pathogen that serves as the main source of wide-spectrum fungal insecticides. The results demonstrated that these three genes are interrelated at the transcriptional level under normal and heat-shocked conditions. Meanwhile, all the deletion mutants showed significant but differential changes in cell wall integrity, antioxidant activity, hyphal tolerance to carbendazim fungicide, conidial tolerance to 45 °C wet heat and virulence. However, only Δhsp30b showed growth defects on rich and minimal media at 25 °C and Δhsp30a displayed the reduction in conidiophores and conidia. Moreover, the single deletion of hsp30a and hsp30b caused the decreases in hyphal growth at 34 °C and conidial tolerance to UV-B irradiation. Our findings provide a global insight into vital roles of hsp20, hsp30a, and hsp30b in asexual development, environmental adaptation, and fungal virulence of B. bassiana.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex, multifunctional organelle comprised of a continuous membrane and lumen that is organized into a number of functional regions. It plays various roles including protein translocation, folding, quality control, secretion, calcium signaling, and lipid biogenesis. Cellular protein homeostasis is maintained by a complicated chaperone network, and the largest functional family within this network consists of proteins containing tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs). TPRs are well-studied structural motifs that mediate intermolecular protein-protein interactions, supporting interactions with a wide range of ligands or substrates. Seven TPR-containing proteins have thus far been shown to localize to the ER and control protein organization and homeostasis within this multifunctional organelle. Here, we discuss the roles of these proteins in controlling ER processes and organization. The crucial roles that TPR-containing proteins play in the ER are highlighted by diseases or defects associated with their mutation or disruption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Definitive radiation therapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy has become the standard treatment for non-metastatic unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, treatment outcomes can differ substantially and patients' genetic background could play a crucial role. Potential associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in Heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1) and survival have been reported in prior single-institution retrospective reports. MATERIALS AND METHODS The current assay aims to validate such connection in a prospective multicenter study in a European cohort including 181 NSCLC patients. Median follow-up time for all patients was 13 months (range, 3-57 months). RESULTS The results obtained show an association between the rs2868371 GG genotype and better overall survival (HR: 0.35; 95%CI: 0.13-0.96; p = 0.042) in multivariate analysis. Two-year overall survival rate was 72% for patients carrying the rs2868371 GG genotype versus 36% for those patients harboring the rs2868371 CC/CG genotypes (p = 0.013). Additionally, the rs2868371 GG genotype was found to be associated with better disease-free survival in the multivariate analysis (HR: 0.36; 95%CI: 0.13-0.99; p = 0.048). In silico analysis of the potential functional SNP suggested significant difference in the affinity of the Glucocorticoid Receptor binding site between alternative allelic variants, confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis displaying stronger affinity for the risk allele (C). Furthermore, our findings indicate that the rs2868371 influences (mRNA) HSPB1 expression, offering insight into the regulation of HSPB1 transcription. CONCLUSION The functional HSPB1 rs2868371 promoter variant may affect lung cancer survival by regulation of HSPB1 expression levels through glucocorticoid receptor interaction.

CLEC14a-HSP70-1A interaction regulates HSP70-1A-induced angiogenesis. Sci Rep 2017; 7:10666. [PMID: 28878328 PMCID: PMC5587741 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-11118-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2017] [Accepted: 08/18/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
CLEC14a (C-type lectin domain family 14 member) is a tumor endothelial cell marker protein that is known to play an important role in tumor angiogenesis, but the basic molecular mechanisms underlying this function have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, using various proteomic tools, we isolated a 70-kDa protein that interacts with the C-type lectin-like domain of CLEC14a (CLEC14a-CTLD) and identified it as heat shock protein 70-1A (HSP70-1A). Co-immunoprecipitation showed that HSP70-1A and CLEC14a interact on endothelial cells. In vitro binding analyses identified that HSP70-1A specifically associates with the region between amino acids 43 and 69 of CLEC14a-CTLD. Competitive blocking experiments indicated that this interacting region of CLEC14a-CTLD significantly inhibits HSP70-1A-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation and endothelial tube formation by directly inhibiting CLEC14a-CTLD-mediated endothelial cell-cell contacts. Our data suggest that the specific interaction of HSP70-1A with CLEC14a may play a critical role in HSP70-1A-induced angiogenesis and that the HSP70-1A-interacting region of CLEC14a-CTLD may be a useful tool for inhibiting HSP70-1A-induced angiogenesis.

Abstract
Glaucoma is characterized by axonal degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and apoptotic death of their cell bodies, and lowering intraocular pressure is associated with an attenuation of progressive optic nerve damage. Nevertheless, intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction alone was not enough to inhibit the progression of disease, which suggests the contribution of other factors to the glaucoma pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the cytoprotective effect of geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) on RGCs degeneration using a normal tension glaucoma (NTG) mouse model, which lacks glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST) and demonstrates spontaneous RGC and optic nerve degeneration without elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Three-week-old GLAST+/− mice were given oral administration of GGA at 100, 300, or 600 mg/kg/day or vehicle alone, and littermate control mice were given vehicle alone for 14 days, respectively. At 5 weeks after birth, the number of RGCs was counted in paraffin sections of retinal tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin. In addition, retrograde labeling technique was also used to quantify the number of RGC. Expression and localization of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in retinas were evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Activities of caspase-9 and -3 in retinas were also assessed. The number of RGCs of GLAST+/− mice significantly decreased, as compared to that of control mice. RGC loss was significantly suppressed by administration of GGA at 600 mg/kg/day, compared with vehicle alone. Following GGA administration, HSP70 was significantly upregulated together with reduction in the activities of caspase-9 and -3. Our studies highlight HSP70 induction in the retina is available to suppress RGC degeneration, and thus GGA may be applicable for NTG as a promising therapy.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70-1A (HSP70-1A) is a stress-inducible protein that provides an essential intracellular molecular chaperone function; however, the mechanism of HSP70-1A in angiogenesis has not been clarified. Herein, HSP70-1A gene silencing implicated this protein in angiogenesis. Additionally, recombinant human HSP70-1A (rhHSP70-1A) was able to stimulate human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) migration and tube formation in vitro and microvessel formation in vivo similarly to recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF). Furthermore, rhHSP70-1A was tightly bound to the surface of HUVECs and participated in extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK)-dependent angiogenesis. Together, these results implicate HSP70-1A as a novel angiogenic regulator.

Abstract
Co-chaperones help to maintain cellular homeostasis by modulating the activities of molecular chaperones involved in protein quality control. The HSP70/HSP90-organizing protein (HOP) is a co-chaperone that cooperates with HSP70 and HSP90 in catalysis of protein folding and maturation in the cytosol. We show here that HOP has ATP-binding activity comparable to that of HSP70/HSP90, and that HOP slowly hydrolyzes ATP. Analysis of deletion mutants revealed that the ATPase domain of HOP is in the N-terminal TPR1-DP1-TPR2A segment. In addition, HOP changes its conformation in the presence of ATP. These results indicate that HOP is a unique co-chaperone that undergoes an ATP-dependent conformational change.

Abstract
The renal medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL) of the Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat is the site of enhanced NaCl reabsorption and excess superoxide production. In the present studies we isolated mitochondria from mTAL of SS and salt-resistant control strain SS.13(BN) rats on 0.4 and 8% salt diet for 7 days and performed a proteomic analysis. Purity of mTAL and mitochondria isolations exceeded 93.6 and 55%, respectively. Using LC/MS spectral analysis techniques we identified 96 mitochondrial proteins in four biological mTAL mitochondria samples, run in duplicate, as defined by proteins with a false discovery rate <5% and scan count ≥2. Seven of these 96 proteins, including IDH2, ACADM, SCOT, Hsp60, ATPA, EFTu, and VDAC2 were differentially expressed between the two rat strains. Oxygen consumption and high-resolution respirometry analyses showed that mTAL cells and the mitochondria in the outer medulla of SS rats fed high-salt diet exhibited lower rates of oxygen utilization compared with those from SS.13(BN) rats. These studies advance the conventional proteomic paradigm of focusing exclusively upon whole tissue homogenates to a focus upon a single cell type and specific subcellular organelle. The results reveal the importance of a largely unexplored role for deficiencies of mTAL mitochondrial metabolism and oxygen utilization in salt-induced hypertension and renal medullary oxidative stress.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1) gene and the risk of radiation-induced esophageal toxicity (RIET) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The experimental dataset comprised 120 NSCLC patients who were treated with radio(chemo)therapy between 2005 and 2009, when novel radiation techniques were implemented at MD Anderson. The validation dataset comprised 181 NSCLC patients treated between 1998 and 2004. We genotyped two SNPs of the HSPB1 gene (rs2868370 and rs2868371) by TaqMan assay. RESULTS Univariate and multivariate analyses of the experimental dataset showed that the CG/GG genotypes of HSPB1 rs2868371 were associated with significantly lower risk of grade ⩾3 RIET than the CC genotype (univariate hazard ratio [HR] 0.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.10-0.91; P=0.033; multivariate HR 0.29; 95% CI, 0.09-0.97; P=0.045). This difference in risk was replicated in the validation cohort despite the different radiation techniques used during that period. CONCLUSIONS The CG/GG genotypes of HSPB1 rs2868371 were associated with lower risk of RIET, compared with the CC genotype in patients with NSCLC treated with radio(chemo)therapy. This finding should be validated in large multi-institutional prospective trials.

Evidence for enhanced cytoprotective function of HSP90-overexpressing small intestinal epithelial cells. Dig Dis Sci 2011; 56:1954-61.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the clinical field, increasing incidence of small intestinal ulcers associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has become a topic with the advances of capsule endoscopy and balloon enteroscopy technology for the detection of small intestinal lesions. However, the pathogenesis of NSAID-induced mucosal damage, defensive mechanism of intestinal epithelial cells, and therapy for small intestinal mucosal lesion have not been fully understood. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are involved in cytoprotection mediated by their function as a molecular chaperone. Since the function of HSP90 in the intestinal epithelial cells has not been well investigated, we examined the cytoprotective ability of HSP90-overexpressing small intestinal epithelial cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced or indomethacin-induced cell damage. METHODS cDNA of human HSP90 gene was transfected to rat small intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells), and HSP90-overexpressing cells (IEC-6-90 cells) were selected and cloned. Anti-necrotic abilities and anti-apoptotic abilities of IEC-6-90 cells were compared with IEC-6-mock cells (transfected with vector alone). To examine the specific contribution of HSP90 on cytoprotection of IEC-6-90 cells, cytoprotective ability of IEC-6-90 cells was analyzed with or without pretreatment with functional inhibitor of HSP90, geldanamycine analog, followed by hydrogen peroxide-challenge or indomethacin-challenge. RESULTS Hydrogen peroxide-induced or indomethacin-induced cell necrosis and apoptosis were significantly suppressed in IEC-6-90 cells. The cytoprotective ability of IEC-6-90 cells was suppressed by HSP90 inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that HSP90 might play an important role in protecting small intestinal epithelial cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced or indomethacin-induced cell injury in vitro, and raised the possibility of protection of small intestinal epithelial cells by manipulation of HSP90 expression.

Abstract
Protection of the small intestine from mucosal injury induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including acetylsalicylic acid is a critical issue in the field of gastroenterology. Polaprezinc an anti-ulcer drug, consisting of zinc and L-carnosine, provides gastric mucosal protection against various irritants. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of polaprezinc on acetylsalicylic acid-induced apoptosis of the RIE1 rat intestinal epithelial cell line. Confluent rat intestinal epithelial cells were incubated with 70 µM polaprezinc for 24 h, and then stimulated with or without 15 mM acetylsalicylic acid for a further 15 h. Subsequent cellular viability was quantified by fluorometric assay based on cell lysis and staining. Acetylsalicylic acid-induced cell death was also qualified by fluorescent microscopy of Hoechst33342 and propidium iodide. Heat shock proteins 70 protein expression after adding polaprezinc or acetylsalicylic acid was assessed by western blotting. To investigate the role of Heat shock protein 70, Heat shock protein 70-specific small interfering RNA was applied. Cell viability was quantified by fluorometric assay based on cell lysis and staining and apoptosis was analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. We found that acetylsalicylic acid significantly induced apoptosis of rat intestinal epithelial cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Polaprezinc significantly suppressed acetylsalicylic acid-induced apoptosis of rat intestinal epithelial cells at its late phase. At the same time, polaprezinc increased Heat shock protein 70 expressions of rat intestinal epithelial cells in a time-dependent manner. However, in Heat shock protein 70-silenced rat intestinal epithelial cells, polaprezinc could not suppress acetylsalicylic acid -induced apoptosis at its late phase. We conclude that polaprezinc-increased Heat shock protein 70 expression might be an important mechanism by which polaprezinc suppresses acetylsalicylic acid-induced small intestinal apoptosis, a hallmark of acetylsalicylic acid-induced enteropathy.

Overexpression of a 60-kDa heat shock protein enhances cytoprotective function of small intestinal epithelial cells. Life Sci 2010; 86:499-504. [PMID: 20159025 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2010.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2009] [Revised: 01/27/2010] [Accepted: 02/02/2010] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
AIMS With the advancement of small intestinal (double balloon and capsule) endoscopy technology, incidence of small intestinal lesion caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been known to be high. However, therapy for small intestinal mucosal lesion has not yet been developed. Previous studies have shown that heat shock proteins (HSPs) are involved in cytoprotection mediated by their function as a molecular chaperone. In this study, we examined the effect of HSP60 or HSP70 overexpression on hydrogen peroxide-induced (H2O2) or indomethacin-induced cell damage in the small intestinal epithelial cells. MAIN METHODS cDNA of human HSP60 or HSP70 was transfected to rat small intestinal (IEC-6) cells, and HSP60- or HSP70-overexpressing cells were cloned. IEC-6 cells transfected with vector only were used as control cells. These cells were treated with H2O2 (0-0.14mM) or indomethacin (0-2.5mM). The cell viability was determined by MTT-assay. Cell necrosis was evaluated by LDH-release assay. Further, apoptosis was evaluated by caspases-3/7 activity and TUNEL assay. KEY FINDINGS Cell viability after H2O2 or indomethacin treatment was significantly higher in HSP60-overexpressing cells compared with that in control cells and HSP60-overexpressing cells. Apoptotic cells were also reduced in HSP60-overexpressing. CONCLUSION These results indicate that HSP60 plays an important role in protecting small intestinal mucosal cells from H2O2-induced or indomethacin-induced cell injury. HSP70-overexpressing cells did not show anti-apoptotic ability. SIGNIFICANCE These findings possibly suggest that function of each HSP is different in the small intestine. Therefore, for the therapy of small intestinal mucosal lesion, HSP60-induction therapy could be a new therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Triptolide, which has been used to treat inflammatory diseases, has also been reported to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells. However, it can cause severe nephrotoxicity, limiting its clinical use. Here, nephrotoxicity of triptolide was observed in vivo and in vitro. Heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) was upregulated during kidney injury in rats. HSP72 partially protected human kidney proximal tubule cell lines HK-2 and HKC from triptolide-induced injury. Phospho-Raf, phospho-MEK and phospho-ERK were elevated in HK-2 cells that overexpressed HSP72 after either heat shock or triptolide treatment, and downregulated when HSP72 was repressed by siRNA. The participation of the MEK/ERK1/2 pathway was confirmed by exposure of the cells to the MEK inhibitor U0126. Collectively, our results suggested that HSP72 plays a protective role by means of the MEK/ERK pathway, against triptolide-induced kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Portal hypertensive (PHT) gastropathy results in an increased susceptibility to damage. Adaptive cytoprotection against ethanol-induced damage is impaired in the gastric mucosa of rats with portal hypertension. Excessive nitric oxide (NO) production occurs in portal hypertension and is mediated in part via heat-shock protein (Hsp)90 production. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between adaptive cytoprotection after exposure to ethanol and gastric expression of Hsp90 in PHT rats. METHODS Portal hypertension was induced in rats by staged portal vein occlusion. Adaptive cytoprotection to 70% ethanol was evaluated by assessing the injury index of the gastric mucosa with or without pretreatment with 10% ethanol. Expression of Hsp90 mRNA was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and expression of Hsp90 protein was evaluated by western blotting. The effect of Hsp90 inhibition in PHT rats was evaluated by administration of geldanamycin. RESULTS Gastric Hsp90 mRNA expression in PHT rats was significantly less than that in sham-operated (SO) controls. However, after 10% ethanol pretreatment, Hsp90 mRNA expression was significantly greater in PHT rats than in SO controls. In PHT rats, gastric Hsp90 protein expression after 10% ethanol pretreatment was significantly greater than that without the pretreatment. However, the pretreatment had no effect on the injury index compared to SO rats. Administration of geldanamycin prior to 10% ethanol pretreatment significantly decreased the injury index in response to 70% ethanol in the PHT rats. CONCLUSIONS These results show that 10% ethanol pretreatment markedly increases gastric Hsp90 expression in PHT rats. Excessive production of Hsp90 may contribute impaired adaptive cytoprotection.

Abstract
AIMS Several recent studies, including ours, have indicated the importance of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in cytoprotection against cytotoxic agents and environmental stresses mediated by the chaperone function of HSPs (molecular chaperones). However, the target molecule that is recognized by HSPs in damaged cells currently remains unknown. As HSPs rapidly recognize and bind to degenerated protein in cells, target molecules of HSPs might be key molecules for the initiation and pathogenesis of cellular damage. In the present study, gastric mucosal proteins that specifically bind to the HSP70 family (HSC70) were analyzed using HSC70-affinity chromatography. MAIN METHODS The gastric mucosa was removed from Sprague-Dawley rats after exposure to water immersion-stress for 0, 1, 3 or 5 h. Soluble fractions of each gastric mucosa were applied to the HSC70-affinity column separately. After washing off non-specific binding proteins, specific binding proteins were eluted by ATP-containing buffer. Binding proteins were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, the amino acid sequence of purified proteins was also analyzed. KEY FINDINGS Specific HSC70-binding proteins with a molecular weight of 200-kDa and 45-kDa were eluted from an affinity column when gastric mucosal homogenate of 1-h stress exposure was applied. The amino acid sequencing showed that these binding proteins were cytoskeletal myosin (heavy chain) and actin, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE During the pathogenesis of stress-induced gastric mucosal damage, structurally degenerated cytoskeletal myosin (heavy chain) and actin may be key or initiation molecules which structural changes were firstly recognized by molecular chaperone.

Abstract
To determine the toxicity of the anti-rheumatic drug diclofenac to Daphnia magna, acute toxicity tests according to the OECD guideline 202 were combined with biochemical investigations of the hsp70 level as a biomarker for proteotoxicity. Particular attention was paid to the impact of the solvent DMSO as a confounding factor to diclofenac toxicity by means of testing different variations of producing stock solutions. In the acute immobilisation tests, diclofenac was most toxic as a singular test substance, with indication of a slight antagonistic interaction between the two substances. The highest EC50 values were obtained in those approaches using diclofenac pre-dissolved in DMSO. Thus, the observed antagonism seems to be intensified by pre-dissolution. Hsp70 levels of 12- to 19-days-old D. magna were determined after 48h exposure using a highly reproducible immunological protocol. Hsp70 induction occurred at a LOEC of 30mgl(-1) diclofenac plus 0.6mll(-1) DMSO, and at a LOEC of 40mgl(-1) for diclofenac alone. In summary, DMSO showed only slight confounding effects on diclofenac action in the applied range of concentrations.

Abstract
To elucidate the induction mechanism of HSP70 by geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), we investigated GGA specific binding proteins using a GGA-affinity column. Alteration of chaperone activity of HSP70 and binding affinity of HSP70 to heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) was evaluated in the presence or absence of GGA. The binding domain of HSP70 to GGA was also analyzed. A 70-kDa protein eluted by 10 mM GGA from the GGA-affinity column was identical to constitutively expressed HSP70 on immunoblotting. GGA-binding domain of HSP70 was C-terminal of the protein as peptide-binding domain (HSP70C). The chaperone activity of HSP70 and recombinant HSP70C was suppressed by GGA. Furthermore, dissociation of the HSP70 from HSF-1 was observed in the presence of GGA. GGA preferentially binds to the C-terminal of HSP70 which binds to HSF-1. After dissociation of HSP70, free HSF-1 could acquire the ability to bind to HSE (the promoter region of HSP70) gene.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of zinc L-carnosine, an anti-ulcer drug, on acetic acid-induced colonic mucosal injury and the correlation of these effects with expression of 72-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP72) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation in rat colonic mucosa in vivo. After intrarectal administration of zinc L-carnosine, the rats received intrarectal infusion of 5% acetic acid (1 ml). The colonic mucosal damage was evaluated by macroscopic assessments 24 h after the intrarectal infusion of acetic acid. Expression of HSP72 in rat colonic mucosa was evaluated by Western blot analysis before and after zinc L-carnosine administration. NF-kappaB activation was evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Zinc L-carnosine inhibited visible damage in rat colonic mucosa by acetic acid. Expression of HSP72 was significantly increased at 6 h after zinc L-carnosine administration. Furthermore, NF-kappaB activation in colonic mucosa was suppressed 6 h after zinc L-carnosine treatment. These results suggested that zinc L-carnosine protects the colonic mucosa against acetic acid by induction of HSP72 and suppression of NF-kappaB activation and zinc L-carnosine may be a novel therapeutic agent for the therapy of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The real mechanism of adaptive cytoprotection in the gastric mucosa is not well established. In the present study, we investigated the effect of acid suppressing agents on a 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) expression, which is known as endogenous cytoprotective factor, in the gastric mucosa. Also, the association of gastric mucosal protective function against HCl-challenge was compared between HSP72-induced and -reduced group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of HSP72 was measured by Western blotting in the gastric mucosa before and after administration of famotidine or omeprazole. The gastric mucosal protective function against 0.6 N HCl was compared between control group and HSP72-reduced group. Also, the effect of increased expression of gastric HSP72 by additional administration of zinc sulfate or zinc L-carnosine, which is known as HSP72-inducer, on mucosal protective function was studied. RESULTS HSP72 expression in the gastric mucosa was reduced by acid suppressing agents. The lowest expression level of HSP72 was observed 12 h (famotidine, H2-receptor antagonist) or 48 h (omeprazole, proton pump inhibitor) after administration. The gastric mucosal protective ability against 0.6 N HCl was also reduced when HSP72 expression was decreased by famotidine or omeprazole. This phenomenon was reversed by HSP72 induction by additional administration of zinc derivatives. CONCLUSION Our results might indicate that the expression of HSP72 in the gastric mucosa is physiologically regulated by gastric acid, and that HSP72 induction could be important in view of mucosal protection especially when HSP72 expression is reduced by administration of acid suppressing agents such as proton pump inhibitor or H2 receptor antagonist.

Abstract
Most studies into the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have primarily focused on the cytotoxic agents and processes involved in producing mucosal injury, including the immune system. However, less consideration has been given to the inherent mechanisms of cytoprotection and cellular repair in the intestinal mucosa. This review will focus on intestinal mucosal protection against cytotoxic agents and cellular stress mainly from the viewpoint of expression and function of heat shock proteins, in their role of "molecular chaperones," as internal cytoprotectants. Elucidation of such stress-responses in the intestinal mucosa may provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of cytoprotection and cellular repair, and present new strategies for IBD therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many researches have been published to understand the pathogenesis and mechanism of Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-associated diseases, including gastritis followed by gastric cancer, using Mongolian gerbil (MG) model because Hp could be hardly inoculated in other animal species. The aim of this study was to evaluate the induction ability of heat shock protein (HSP70) and protective ability in the gastric mucosa of MG comparing with those of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, since HSP70 is a key molecule known to be involved in important biological activities such as apoptosis, carcinogenesis, and cytoprotection from cytotoxic damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Basal expression level and induction ability of gastric mucosal HSP70 were evaluated by immunoblotting and densitometric analysis in MG and SD rats before and after HSP-induction by zinc l-carnosine, gastric HSP70 inducer, administration. Mucosal protective ability against water-immersion stress-induced mucosal lesion was also compared. RESULTS Basal expression level of HSP70 was not significantly different between MG and SD rats. However, HSP70-induction by zinc derivatives was not observed in MG. Mucosal lesion induced by water-immersion stress was significantly severe in MG compared with SD rats. CONCLUSIONS MG might be special (not ordinary) animal, in which HSP70-induction was absent and has extremely poor mucosal protective ability in view of HSP-dependent cytoprotection in the gastric mucosa. Our results may suggest that MG is not an adequate animal to evaluate the effect of Hp-infection-associated gastric inflammation followed by development of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Gentamicin (GM) has been widely used as an antibiotic and its nephrotoxicity has been recognized. However, the alternation of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 as an inductive protein in proximal tubular cells treated with GM is still unclear. In this study, GM cytotoxicity and its effect on the expression of HSP72 in human kidney proximal tubular (HK-2) cells were measured. HK-2 cells were incubated for 24 hr, 48 hr, 72 hr, and 96 hr with GM only and GM plus MnCl2, respectively. Cytotoxicity was determined by the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and effects of GM on oxidation in HK-2 cells were investigated by measurements of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and the ability of viable cells to reduce a tetrazolium-based compound (MTT). The expression of HSP72 was measured by immunocytochemistry, Western blotting and RT-PCR. Cells were exposed to GM at a concentration of 100 microg/ml. After 24 hr MTT uptake decreased significantly and then gradually until 96 hr. LDH release increased time-dependently from 24 hr to 72 hr, but decreased at 96 hr compared with the data at 72 hr when cells were treated with GM only. Both results of NAG and SOD activities and results of MDA content were similar to that of the LDH release. The amount of HSP72 positive cells increased at 24 hr after exposure to GM up to 72 hr. HSP72 expression increased significantly from 24 hr, and reached its peak at 72 hr when cells were treated with GM only. Furthermore, the change of the HSP72 gene transcription was similar to the expression of HSP72. These results demonstrated that GM treatment could induce damage to HK-2 cells and that the expression of HSP72 increased when cells were injured by GM.

Abstract
The present study examines the effects of ethanol (ETOH), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and acetone on zebrafish embryos and the implications of the observed results on the use of these solvents to zebrafish early life stage tests. The embryos were exposed to different concentrations (0.0, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 0.05, 1, 1.5, and 2.0% v/v) of the respective solvents by diluting reagent-grade solvent with reconstituted water [DIN 38415-6-Suborganismische Testverfahren (Gruppe T) Teil 6: Giftigkeit gegenüber Fischen. Deutsches Institute für Normung e.V]. The following endpoints were investigated (mortality, hatching rate, abnormalities, heart rate, and hsp 70 induction). No effect on survival was recorded for both acetone and DMSO even up to the highest concentration. On the other hand, embryos exposed to 1.5% and 2.0% ethanol showed a significant reduction in survival rate. No developmental defects occurred with any of the solvents at the 0.1% concentration. However, starting with 1.0%, weak to very pronounced abnormalities (weak pigmentation, edema, crooked bodies, eye defect, tail defect, reduced heartbeat, and abnormal hatching) were observed depending on the solvent type and the concentration used. Ethanol has been shown to be the most embryotoxic solvent while DMSO and acetone have comparably lesser effects. Heat shock protein 70 was induced by all solvents but at different concentration ranges. DMSO has been shown to be the most potent inducer of stress proteins. Based on the study, the chemicals tested here may be used as carrier solvents in the zebrafish embryo assay at levels below 1.5, 1.5, and 1% v/v for acetone, DMSO, and ethanol, respectively. For stress protein analysis of the exposed embryos, however, the solvent levels should be below 0.1%, 0.01%, and 1.5%, respectively. Additional and separate investigations utilizing other biomarkers should be carried out to further validate the suitability of using these solvents in a typical zebrafish embryo assay.

Abstract
The major heat shock protein, HSP70, is known to be involved in cytoprotection against environmental stresses mediated by their function as a "molecular chaperone". Monochloramine (NH(2)Cl) is a potent cytotoxic oxidant generated by neutrophil-derived hypochlorous acid and Helicobacter pylori urease-induced ammonia. In this study, to evaluate the cytoprotective effect of HSP70 against NH(2)Cl-induced gastric mucosal cell injury, rat gastric mucosal cells (RGM-1) were stably transfected with pBK-CMV containing the human HSP70 gene (7018-RGM-1) or pBK-CMV alone (pBK-CMV-12) as control cells. These cells were treated with various concentrations of NH(2)Cl. Cell Viability was determined by MTT assay and the direct plasma membrane damage was analyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Apoptosis was determined by DNA fragmentation analysis. NH(2)Cl caused injury to pBK-CMV-12 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. NH(2)Cl-induced gastric cell injury was significantly diminished in HSP70 over-expressing cell line (7018-RGM-1) both necrosis and apoptosis compared to the control cell line (pBK-CMV-12) transfected with CMV vector alone. These result suggest that overexpression of HSP70 plays an important role in protecting gastric cells against NH(2)Cl-induced injury.

Abstract
We studied the effect of hyperthermia pretreatment on subsequent small intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat. Systemic hyperthermia has been reported to induce heat shock proteins (HSPs) in several organs [1-6]. We examined the expression of HSP72 in the small intestinal mucosa using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. We monitored energy metabolism using magnetic resonance spectroscopy continuously during a 60-min ischemia and the following 120 min of reperfusion. Expression of HSP72 in the small intestine was significantly increased at 6-8 h after hyperthermia. Intestinal ischemia was induced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery. Heating of the rat conferred substantial resistance to the I/R injury. In the untreated rats, beta-ATP decreased during ischemia (37.1 +/- 15.5% of the pre-ischemic value) and recovered on reperfusion, but reached only approximately 50% of the pre-ischemic value after 120 min of reperfusion. However, beta-ATP in the pretreated rats was maintained during ischemia at significantly higher levels and on reperfusion reached approximately 80% of the pre-ischemic value. These results indicate that hyperthermia protects the rat intestine from the I/R injury by unknown mechanisms which may include the induction of HSPs.

Abstract
Heat shock produces cellular tolerance to a variety of adverse conditions; however, the protective effect of heat shock on renal cell ischemic injury remains unclear. Protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in the signaling mechanisms of acute preconditioning, yet it remains unknown whether PKC mediates heat shock-induced delayed preconditioning in renal cells. To study this, renal tubular cells (LLC-PK1) were exposed to thermal stress (43 degrees C) for 1 h and heat shock protein (HSP) 72 induction was confirmed by Western blot analysis. Cells were subjected to simulated ischemia 24 h after thermal stress, and the effect of heat shock (delayed preconditioning) on ischemia-induced apoptosis (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling) and B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl(2)) expression (Western) was determined. Subsequently, the effect of PKC inhibition on HSP72 induction and heat stress-induced ischemic tolerance was evaluated. Thermal stress induced HSP72 production, increased Bcl(2) expression, and prevented simulated ischemia-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis. PKC inhibition abolished thermal induction of HSP72 and prevented heat stress-induced ischemic tolerance. These data demonstrate that thermal stress protects renal tubular cells from simulated ischemia-induced apoptosis through a PKC-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The in vitro glycolipid binding specificity of the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is altered to include sulfated glycolipids (sulfatides) following brief exposure of the organism to acid pH typical of the stomach. This change is prevented by anti-hsp70 antibodies, suggesting that hsp70 may be a stress-induced surface adhesin, mediating sulfatide recognition. To facilitate investigation of the role of hsp70 in attachment, we have cloned and sequenced the H. pylori hsp70 gene (dnaK). The hsp70 gene was identified by probing a cosmid DNA library made from H. pylori 439 with a PCR amplicon generated with oligonucleotides synthesized to highly conserved regions of dnaK. The 1.9-kb H. pylori hsp70 gene encodes a product of 616 amino acids. Primer extension analysis revealed a single transcription start site, while Northern blot analysis established that hsp70 was preferentially induced by low pH rather than by heat shock. The ability of H. pylori to alter its glycolipid binding specificity following exposure to low pH by upregulating hsp70 and by expressing hsp70 on the bacterial surface may provide a survival advantage during periods of high acid stress.

Abstract
Hsp72 is expressed in thyroidal tissue and on retroocular fibroblasts from patients with GD. In this study we investigated whether GD patients have hsp72 antibodies, and if they correlate with disease characteristics. Because smoking is associated with GD and might up-regulate hsp72 expression, we also studied the effect of smoking on hsp antibody levels. Hsp72 IgG antibodies were determined by dot-blotting, using recombinant human stress-inducible hsp72. Dot-blot densities were measured using a videoimaging system in 38 healthy controls, 45 patients with GD, including 34 with varying degrees of ophthalmopathy, and in 13 GD patients before and after treatment of thyrotoxicosis with methimazole. Hsp72 antibodies were detectable more frequently in GD patients (26/45, 58%), than in controls (12/38, 32%; P < 0.02). GD patients had higher antibody levels than controls; mean +/- s.e.m. optical densities: 26.8 +/- 2.6 versus 18.8 +/- 2.4 (P = 0.018). Levels did not correlate with any parameter of disease severity or activity. Hsp72 antibody levels did not change upon reaching euthyroidism. In controls, but not in patients, hsp72 antibodies could be detected more frequently in smokers (6/10, 60%) versus nonsmokers (6/28, 21%; P = 0.024). Patients with GD have higher hsp72 IgG antibody levels than controls, without correlation with any disease characteristic. Among healthy controls, smoking is associated with elevated hsp72 antibodies. This suggests that these antibodies might be a marker for autoimmune susceptibility.

Abstract
A 30 kDa protein was purified from pig liver cytosol by using ATP-Sepharose and Green A column chromatography. The partial amino acid sequences of the protein (95 amino acid residues) had no similarity with any proteins recorded in data banks. The protein was able to form a stable complex with unfolded dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The spontaneous refolding of chemically denatured DHFR was arrested by the 30 kDa protein. This inhibition presumably results from the formation of a stable complex between the 30 kDa protein and DHFR. Bound DHFR could be released from the protein with ATP. The protein also showed protease resistance in an ATP-dependent manner. Incubation of the 30 kDa protein with 5 mM ATP resulted in its resistance to V8 protease or to trypsin treated with 1-chloro-4-phenyl-3-L-toluene-p-sulphonamidobutan-2-one. Divalent cations enhanced the ATP-protection effect. CD analysis of the 30 kDa protein showed that ATP induced an increase in the beta-pleated sheet content and a decrease in the alpha-helix content of the 30 kDa protein. These results suggest that the 30 kDa protein, a novel cytosolic protein, might have an affinity for ATP, a chaperonin activity, and and an ATP-protection effect against some proteases in vivo.

Abstract
We investigated the expression and changes in the intracellular localization of a 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) in rat gastric pyloric and fundic mucosa before and after water-immersion stress. Severe mucosal damage was found in the fundic mucosal area of the stomach after this stress. However, no mucosal lesion developed in the pyloric mucosal area. HSP72 in both the soluble and insoluble fractions of the pyloric and the fundic mucosal areas was significantly increased after water-immersion stress, peaking 6h after the initiation of the stress. The increase in HSP72 was more significant in the pyloric mucosal area than in the fundic mucosal area under both normal and stress conditions. The increase of HSP72 in the pyloric mucosal cells occurred prior to the formation of the mucosal lesions, whereas the increase of HSP72 in the fundic mucosal cells was observed after ulcer formation. An immunohistochemical study showed that HSP72 was constitutively expressed in the cytoplasm of the gastric mucosal cells, and that the intranuclear induction of HSP72 was remarkably intense in the pyloric mucosal cells, especially in the proliferative zone, compared with the fundic mucosal cells. Our results may suggest that HSP72 has an important cytoprotective function in gastric mucosal cells and that there is a "biophysical" difference between pyloric and the fundic mucosal cells.

Abstract
Water-immersion stress is known to be involved in the development of hemorrhagic pancreatitis in caerulein-induced pancreatitis, when the stress is given following caerulein injection. The effects of pre-treatment with water-immersion to caerulein-induced pancreatitis were investigated in this study. 1. A 60-kDa heat shock protein was induced by pre-treatment with water-immersion stress in the pancreas. 2. Intra-peritoneal injection of caerulein (40 micrograms/kg) induced acute pancreatitis in rats without pre-treatment with water-immersion. However, when the rats were pre-treated with water-immersion, acute pancreatitis was not developed and no change of serum amylase levels was observed by i.p. injection of caerulein.

Abstract
The heat shock (HS) response is remarkably conserved during evolution and is evoked under many conditions of stress. There are a number of ways in which this ubiquitous response may be important for the understanding of renal pathophysiology. Ischemia, toxin exposure, and oxidative stress induce this response. Several models of hypertension are associated with increased susceptibility to environmental stress and increased accumulation of heat shock protein mRNA. HSP70 polymorphism has been demonstrated when comparing normotensive and hypertensive rats. Heat shock proteins may play a role in renal diseases through their important involvement in immunological processes. Several observations point to a role of the heat shock response in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Autoantibodies against HSP70 and ubiquitin are found in many patients with this disease. Autoantibodies against ubiquitin and ubiquitinated histone H2A are localized to the kidney glomerular basement membrane of SLE patients with active disease. A better understanding of the HS response may thus provide important insight into renal pathophysiology and may suggest paradigms for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
1. To understand the physiological roles of the 90-kDa stress protein (HSP90), we investigated the heparin- and antibody-binding domains of the protein. 2. For heparin-binding sites, HSP90 was digested completely with trypsin, and the digests were applied to a heparin-Sepharose column and eluted with 1.0 M NaCl, followed by 8.0 M urea. 3. Each elutant was purified by a reverse-phase C18 column. 4. Two peptides from the NaCl-eluted fraction and no peptide from the urea-eluted fraction were purified. 5. The purified peptides were sequenced by an automated peptide sequencer. 6. One of the heparin-binding sites was present between Leu-362 and Arg-365; another was present between Leu-645 and Lys-648. 7. These two peptides were basic and considerably hydrophilic. 8. For antibody-binding sites, HSP90 was mildly digested with trypsin, electrophoresed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to PVDF membranes. 9. The four bound of the trypsin fragments could be sequenced with a peptide sequencer. 10. There was only one antibody-binding peptide, 38 kDa, starting from Pro-2. The others showed no cross-reactivity with the antibody and started from Leu-283. 11. Therefore, the epitopes of HSP90 are present between Pro-2 and Leu-282. 12. The heparin-binding sites are present from the middle region of the HSP90 molecule, and the antigen sites are at the N-terminal domain.

Abstract
Oxygen radicals are no doubt involved in the development of many pathological states. Nevertheless, the possibility that oxygen radical production was selected for during biological evolution in order to perform useful roles in relation to cellular metabolism is contemplated; previous data on this subject are briefly reviewed. The concept of an "oxygen radical cycle" is proposed as a useful theoretical model.

This protein was identified as a mature form of 60 kDa heat-shock protein (HSP60, chaperonin homolog) based on its partial amino acid sequence. 3. Among 98 determined sequences of the porcine protein, 97 residues were identical with those deduced from nucleotide sequence of the cDNA encoding human HSP60.

Abstract
We purified the constitutive 73-kDa heat-shock protein (HSP73) from the bovine brain, and produced a specific antibody against the protein in a rabbit. On immunoblotting, the antibody cross reacted only with a protein band with a molecular mass of 73 kDa in a crude extract from normal rat kidneys, which was regarded as rat renal HSP73. The intrarenal immunohistochemical distribution of HSP73 was examined by using this antibody, on both normal rat kidneys and kidneys with puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis. HSP73 was predominantly present in epithelial cells of the glomeruli and the tubules. In normal kidneys, HSP73 was generally localized in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus of these epithelial cells, except for proximal tubular epithelial cells. On the other hand, in kidneys with puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis, HSP73 accumulated in the cytoplasm at a level higher than in the nucleus in association with the severity of renal dysfunction and proteinuria. These findings indicate that HSP73 is mainly expressed in glomerular and tubular epithelial cells in the kidney under a physiological condition, and that its expression changes from the nucleus to the cytoplasm under pathological conditions such as a protein overload to these epithelial cells.
