Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) that develops as a result of AP can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Some hypotheses are proposed to explain the pathophysiology of AP and its related pulmonary hazards. This experiment aimed to evaluate the mitigating action of rivastigmine (Riva) in lung injury that occurs on the top of acute pancreatitis (AP) induced in rats. Thirty-two male Wister rats were randomized to one of four groups: control, Riva-treated, acute pancreatitis (AP), and acute pancreatitis treated by Riva. Serum amylase and lipase levels were assessed. Pulmonary oxidative stress and inflammatory indicators were estimated. A pancreatic and pulmonary histopathological examination, as well as an immunohistochemical study of HSP70, was carried out. Riva significantly attenuated the L-arginine-related lung injury that was characterized by increased pulmonary inflammatory biomarkers (interleukin-6 [IL-6]), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), increased pulmonary oxidative markers (total nitrite/nitrate [NOx]), MDA, decreased total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and reduced glutathione level (GSH)) with increased caspase-3 expression. Therefore, Riva retains potent ameliorative effects against lung injury that occur on the top of AP by relieving oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis via HSP70/IL6/NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Taking inspiration from the mechanism of Helicobacter pylori infection can lead to innovative antibacterial ways to fight antibiotics resistance. Herein, a gastric nano-heater iron-cobalt alloy shielded with graphitic shells (FeCo@G) is developed to interfere with H. pylori infection under an alternating magnetic field. FeCo@G shows a high and stable specific loss power (SLP = 534.1 W g-1) in the acidic environment and provides efficient magnetothermal stimulation in the stomach. Such stimulation upregulates the cytoprotective heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in gastric epithelial cells, which antagonizes the infection of H. pylori. This finding is further supported by the transcriptomic analysis verifying the upregulation of HSP70 in the stomach. Moreover, the nano-heater shows a high inhibition rate of H. pylori in vivo with good biocompatibility; 95% of FeCo@G is excreted from the mouse's gastrointestinal tract within 12 h. In summary, FeCo@G allows magnetothermal therapy to be used in harsh gastric environments, providing an approach for the therapy against H. pylori.

Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12050599. [PMID: 35268168 PMCID: PMC8909873 DOI: 10.3390/ani12050599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of reduced dietary protein at natural high temperature in summer on the growth performance and carcass quality of finishing pigs. A total of 72 crossbreed pigs (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) at an average body weight (BW) of 77 ± 5.7 kg were randomly assigned to two treatments, based on BW and sex, in six replicates per treatment, with six pigs per pen, using a randomized complete block design. The dietary crude protein (CP) level of the normal protein diet (NP) and the reduced protein diet (LP) were 12% and 10%, respectively. The growth performance and serum biochemical parameters of the pigs were analyzed for a 28-day experimental period. At the end of the experiment, 12 pigs were harvested to measure carcass characteristics and pork quality. The average highest ambient temperature during the experiment period was about 32.4 °C. There was a trend for the average daily feed intake (ADFI) to be lower in the pigs on the reduced protein diet compared to the control (p < 0.10) in the 0−28 day period. The serum urea nitrogen was lower (p < 0.05) for pigs fed the reduced protein diets only on day 14. The carcass characteristics and pork quality were not affected by dietary treatments. In conclusion, decreasing dietary crude protein percentage from 12% to 10% in finishing pigs in summer may have no negative effects on growth performance and carcass quality.

Abstract
Plasma membrane integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis. In vivo, cells experience plasma membrane damage from a multitude of stressors in the extra- and intra-cellular environment. To avoid lethal consequences, cells are equipped with repair pathways to restore membrane integrity. Here, we assess plasma membrane damage and repair from a whole-body perspective. We highlight the role of tissue-specific stressors in health and disease and examine membrane repair pathways across diverse cell types. Furthermore, we outline the impact of genetic and environmental factors on plasma membrane integrity and how these contribute to disease pathogenesis in different tissues.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the protein and gene expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in different sections of the small intestine of chickens. In total, 300 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to the control and treatment groups. The treatment group was divided into four subgroups, according to the duration of acute heat exposure (3, 6, 12, and 24 h). The influence of heat stress on the protein and gene expression of HSP70, HSP60, and HSP47 in different sections of the small intestine of chickens was determined. The protein expression of HSP70 and HSP60 was significantly higher at 6 h in the duodenum and jejunum and 12 h in the ileum. The HSP47 protein expression was significantly higher at 3 h in the duodenum and ileum and at 6 h in the jejunum. The gene expression levels of HSP70, HSP60, and HSP47 were significantly higher at the 3 h treatment group than the control group in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The glutamate pyruvate transaminase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase levels were significantly higher at 12 and 24 h in the serum of the blood. Acute heat stress affected the expression of intestinal proteins and genes in chickens, until the induction of heat tolerance.

Abstract
The highly conserved heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) contributes to survival at a cellular level and greatly enhances stress tolerance in many organisms. In this study, we isolate and characterize Cshsp702, which encodes an inducible form of HSP70 in the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis. Cshsp702 does not contain introns; the translational product is comprised of 629 amino acids with an isoelectric point of 5.69. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed that Cshsp702 was expressed at maximal levels in hemocytes and was minimally expressed in the midgut. Expression of Cshsp702 in response to a range of temperatures (-11 to 43 °C) indicated significant induction by extreme cold and hot temperatures, with maximum expression after 2 h at 42 °C. The induction of Cshsp702 in response to the endoparasite Cotesia chilonis was also studied; interestingly, Cshsp702 expression in C. suppressalis was significantly induced at 24 h and 5 days, which correspond to predicted times of C. chilonis feeding and growth, respectively. The potential induction of Cshsp702 as an inflammatory response due to parasitic stress is discussed. In conclusion, Cshsp702 is induced in response to both environmental and biotic stress and plays an important role in the physiological adaptation of C. suppressalis.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a disorder which affects 1-10% of pregnant women worldwide. It is characterised by hypertension and proteinuria in the later stages of gestation and can lead to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Other than the delivery of the foetus and the removal of the placenta, to date there are no therapeutic approaches to treat or prevent PE. It is thus only possible to reduce PE-related mortality through early detection, careful monitoring, and treatment of the symptoms. For these reasons the search for noninvasive, blood-borne, or urinary biochemical markers that could be used for the screening, presymptomatic diagnosis, and prediction of the development of PE is of great urgency. So far, a number of biomarkers have been proposed for predicting PE, based on pathophysiological observations, but these have mostly proven to be unreliable and inconsistent between different studies. The clinical presentation of PE and data gathered for the biochemical markers placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble Feline McDonough Sarcoma- (fms-) like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and methyl-lysine is being reviewed with the aim of providing both a clinical and biochemical understanding of how these biomarkers might assist in the diagnosis of PE or indicate its severity.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) maintains Ca2+ homeostasis in PC12 cells, which may protect against apoptosis; however, the mechanisms of neuroprotection are unclear. Therefore, in this study, we examined Ca2+ levels in PC12 cells transfected with an exogenous lentiviral HSP70 gene expression construct, and we subsequently subjected the cells to ischemia-hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. HSP70 overexpression increased neuronal viability and ATPase activity, and it decreased cellular reactive oxygen species levels and intracellular Ca2+ concentration after hypoxia/reoxygenation. HSP70 overexpression enhanced the protein and mRNA expression levels of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), but it decreased the protein and mRNA levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), thereby leading to decreased intracellular Ca2+ concentration after ischemia-hypoxia/reoxygenation. These results suggest that exogenous HSP70 protects against ischemia-hypoxia/reoxygenation injury, at least in part, by maintaining cellular Ca2+ homeostasis, by upregulating SERCA expression and by downregulating IP3R expression.

Abstract
Twenty-four weaned female Hypor piglets (10.9 ± 0.1 kg mean BW) were used to evaluate the antioxidant effect of a natural extract, titrated in verbascoside, on blood and liver oxidative status in relation to a high intake of n-6 PUFA, inducing oxidative stress. Piglets were assigned to 1 of 3 experimental groups; the first group was fed a diet with 9% sunflower oil (T1) and the second received the sunflower oil diet supplemented with 5 mg of verbascoside/kg feed from Verbenaceae extract (Lippia spp.; T2). The third group was fed a control diet (CTR), in which an isoenergetic replacement of oil by starch was done. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and the end of the trial (30 d). At the end of the trial, the animals were slaughtered and the liver specimens were collected. Oxidative stress markers, including total antiradical activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT) activities, were determined in blood samples. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) plasma levels were also evaluated. Immunohistochemistry and western blot analyses were performed in liver to evaluate heat shock protein (Hsp) 70, Hsp90, and Kupffer and Ito cell activation. Liver activities of SOD, GPX, and CAT were also determined. Total antiradical activity in blood and red blood cells were affected (P < 0.01) by dietary treatments. The n-6 PUFA supplementation at a high dosage for 30 d induced oxidative stress, decreasing total antiradical activity in blood and red blood cells (CTR vs. T1 + T2; P < 0.01) and plasma CAT activity (CTR vs. T1 + T2; P = 0.088) and increasing ALT value (CTR vs. T1 + T2; P < 0.01). Also, in liver, the CAT and GPX activities tended to be lower in pigs fed n-6 PUFA diets than pigs fed a control diet (CTR vs. T1 + T2; = 0.090 and = 0.085, respectively). The liver samples presented a normal architecture and no Ito and Kupffer cell activations were observed. In liver, the SOD activity tended to be lower in the T1 group (P = 0.064) than in the CTR and T2 groups. Moreover, the level of Hsp70 was higher (P < 0.01) in the T1 group than the CTR and T2 groups. These data suggest that the dose of dietary verbascoside partially restores the antioxidant status of the liver without affecting the systemic responses to oxidative stress induced by a high-fat diet.

Abstract
As an intracellular polypeptide, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) can be exposed on the plasma membrane and/or released into the circulation. However, the role of HSP70 in various nondisease and disease conditions remains unknown. Quantitative methods for the detection of HSP70 have been used in clinical studies, revealing that an increase in circulating HSP70 is associated with various types of exercise, elderly patients presenting with inflammation, mobile phones, inflammation, sepsis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, carotid intima-media thickness, glutamine-treated ill patients, mortality, diabetes mellitus, active chronic glomerulonephritis, and cancers. Circulating HSP70 decreases with age in humans and in obstructive sleep apnea, arteriosclerosis, atrial fibrillation (AF) following coronary artery bypass surgery, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, moderate-to-severe alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatic steatosis, and Helicobacter pylori infection. In conclusion, quantitative methods can be used to detect HSP70, particularly in determining circulating HSP70 levels, using more convenient and rapid screening methods. Studies have shown that changes in HSP70 are associated with various nondisease and disease conditions; thus, HSP70 might be a novel potential biomarker reflecting various nondisease conditions and also the severity of disease conditions. However, the reliability and accuracy, as well as the underlying mechanism, of this relationship remain poorly understood, and large-sample clinical research must be performed to verify the role.

Abstract
The popular fruit tree of Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae), known as soursop and graviola, is a widely distributed plant in Central and South America and tropical countries. Leaves of A. muricata have been reported to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, the gastroprotective effects of ethyl acetate extract of A. muricata leaves (EEAM) were investigated against ethanol-induced gastric injury models in rats. The acute toxicity test of EEAM in rats, carried out in two doses of 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg, showed the safety of this plant, even at the highest dose of 2 g/kg. The antiulcer study in rats (five groups, n=6) was performed with two doses of EEAM (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) and with omeprazole (20 mg/kg), as a standard antiulcer drug. Gross and histological features showed the antiulcerogenic characterizations of EEAM. There was significant suppression on the ulcer lesion index of rats pretreated with EEAM, which was comparable to the omeprazole effect in the omeprazole control group. Oral administration of EEAM to rats caused a significant increase in the level of nitric oxide and antioxidant activities, including catalase, glutathione, and superoxide dismutase associated with attenuation in gastric acidity, and compensatory effect on the loss of gastric wall mucus. In addition, pretreatment of rats with EEAM caused significant reduction in the level of malondialdehyde, as a marker for oxidative stress, associated with an increase in prostaglandin E2 activity. Immunohistochemical staining also demonstrated that EEAM induced the downregulation of Bax and upregulation of Hsp70 proteins after pretreatment. Collectively, the present results suggest that EEAM has a promising antiulcer potential, which could be attributed to its suppressive effect against oxidative damage and preservative effect toward gastric wall mucus.

Abstract
Understanding a complex pathology such as inflammatory bowel disease, where host genetics (innate and adaptive immunity, barrier function) and environmental factors (microbes, diet, and stress) interact together to influence disease onset and severity, requires multipronged approaches to model these numerous variables. Researchers have typically relied on preclinical models of mouse and rat origin to push the boundary of knowledge further. However, incorporation of novel vertebrate models may contribute to new knowledge on specific aspects of intestinal homeostasis. An emerging literature has seen the use of zebrafish as a novel animal system to study key aspects of host-microbe interactions in the intestine. In this review, we briefly introduce components of host-microbiota interplay in the developing zebrafish intestine and summarize key lessons learned from this animal system; review important chemically induced and genetically engineered zebrafish models of intestinal immune disorders; and discuss perspectives and limitations of the zebrafish model system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), and hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) in the placentas of normal and preeclamptic pregnancies and in human placental hypoxia models in vitro to examine the regulatory mechanisms of placental Hsp70 expression. METHODS The expression levels of HIF-1α, NFAT5, and Hsp70 were examined in placental samples from 10 females with preeclampsia and 10 normotensive control patients and in human choriocarcinoma trophoblast cells treated with 1 mM CoCl2 by western blotting. Using models of placental hypoxia, pharmacological inhibition of HIF-1α with chetomin and shRNA knockdown and overexpression of NFAT5 were performed to investigate the roles of HIF-1α and NFAT5 in induction of Hsp70 by placental hypoxia. RESULTS The levels of HIF-1α, NFAT5, and Hsp70 expression were significantly higher in the preeclamptic compared to normal placentas. In the placental hypoxia models, the expression of HIF-1α, NFAT5, and Hsp70 were significantly higher after 3, 6, and 12 h of 1 mM CoCl2 treatment, respectively. Pharmacological inhibition of HIF-1α suppressed the induction of NFAT5 and Hsp70 at the protein level. shRNA knockdown of NFAT5 suppressed the induction of Hsp70 protein and overexpression of NFAT5 stimulated the induction of Hsp70 mRNA and protein in models of human placental hypoxia in vitro. CONCLUSION HIF-1α positively regulates the induction of NFAT5 and Hsp70 by placental hypoxia and NFAT5 stimulates transcription of Hsp70 in response to placental hypoxia in models of human placental hypoxia in vitro.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) has attracted great attention recently in hypoxia injury because of its close link to the recovery after hypoxic-ischemic damage in organs. However, the cellular mechanism underlying its protective roles remains unclear. In this study, we developed a recombinant adenovirus containing HSP70-GFP (vAd-HSP70-GFP) and studied the effect of virus-mediated expression of exogenous HSP70 gene on neurons in response to hypoxia-reoxygenation injury. Virus-mediated expression of HSP70 was detected as early as 24 hr and lasted until 10 days after infection. Neurons with 48 hr vAd-HSP70-GFP infection were exposed to 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, or 4 hr hypoxia followed by 1 hr reoxygenation. The mRNA and protein levels of HSP70 in neurons exposed to different lengths of hypoxia were compared by using RT-PCR and Western blotting (WB). The 1-hr hypoxia exposure showed the most significant increases in the HSP70 mRNA and protein level compared with other exposure durations. MTT assay showed that HSP70 overexpression significantly increased the neuronal viability, accompanied by decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the culture medium after hypoxia-reoxygenation. Neurons with vAd-HSP70-GFP exhibited increased levels of mitochondrial cytochrome C (Cyt-C) and decreased levels of cytoplasmic Cyt-C compared with vAd-GFP-infected cells. These results suggest a neuroprotective role of exogenous HSP70 against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, possibly via preventing initiation of mitochondrial apoptosis.

Abstract
The intestinal epithelium represents a critical barrier protecting the host against diverse luminal noxious agents, as well as preventing the uncontrolled uptake of bacteria that could activate an immune response in a susceptible host. The epithelial monolayer that constitutes this barrier is regulated by a meshwork of proteins that orchestrate complex biological function such as permeability, transepithelial electrical resistance, and movement of various macromolecules. Because of its key role in maintaining host homeostasis, factors regulating barrier function have attracted sustained attention from the research community. This paper will address the role of bacteria, bacterial-derived metabolism, and the interplay of dietary factors in controlling intestinal barrier function.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess changes of Hsp70 and HSF-1 protein and mRNA expression in stress-sensitive organs of pigs during transportation for various periods of time. Twenty pigs were randomly divided into four groups (0 h, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h of transportation). A significant increased activity of AST and CK was observed after 1 h and 2 h of transportation. Histopathological changes in the heart, liver, and stomach indicated that these organs sustained different degrees of injury. Hsp70 protein expression in the heart and liver of transported pigs did not change significantly while it increased significantly (p < 0.05) in the stomach. Hsp70 mRNA levels decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in the heart after 4 h of transportation. However, mRNA expression increased significantly in the liver after 1 (p < 0.05) and 4 h (p < 0.01) of transportation, and increased significantly in the stomach of the transported pigs after 1, 4 (p < 0.01), and 2 h (p < 0.05). HSF-1 levels were reduced at 1 and 4 h (p < 0.05) only in the hearts of transported pigs. These results indicate that Hsp70 mediates distinct stress-related functions in different tissues during transportation.

Abstract
Neonates with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) are susceptible to decreases in cellular immunity. In recent years, a growing body of evidence indicates that Hsp70 may serve as a danger signal to the innate immune system and promote receptor-mediated apoptosis. Using neonatal pigs with IUGR, we investigated immune function of pigs and expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and forkhead box O 3a (FoxO3a) in the intestinal tract. Samples from the blood, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of normal body weight (NBW) piglets and IUGR piglets were collected at day 7 after birth. Furthermore, to test whether Hsp70 is associated with regulation of NF-κB and FoxO3a, Hsp70 was silenced using small RNA interference (siRNA) in IEC-6 cells. Body and intestinal weights were lower in IUGR piglets than in NBW piglets (p < 0.05). Proliferation of peripheral blood lymphocytes was decreased (p < 0.05) in IUGR piglets. Cytokine concentrations (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, IL-1, and IL-8) were lower in serum of IUGR piglets. The levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 were decreased (p < 0.05) in the ileum of IUGR piglets, but IL-4 was increased (p < 0.05). The expressions of Hsp70 and FoxO3a were increased, and NF-κB activity was downregulated in IUGR piglets (p < 0.05). Furthermore, siRNA-mediated Hsp70 downregulation increased NF-κB activity, inhibited expression of FoxO3a, and decreased cell apoptosis. In contrast, overexpression of Hsp70 inhibited NF-κB activation. In conclusion, IUGR impairs immune functions in neonatal pigs. An inefficient immunity in IUGR piglets is associated with overexpression of Hsp70, which impairs NF-κB signaling and upregulates FoxO3a expression.

Abstract
Jasminum sambac is used in folk medicine as the treatment of many diseases. The aim of the present investigation is to evaluate the gastroprotective effects of ethanolic extracts of J. sambac leaves against acidified ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats. Seven groups of rats were orally pre-treated with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as normal group, CMC as ulcer group, 20 mg/kg of omeprazole as positive group, 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg of extract as the experimental groups, respectively. An hour later, CMC was given orally to normal group and acidified ethanol solution was given orally to the ulcer control, positive control, and the experimental groups. The rats were sacrificed after an hour later. Acidity of gastric content, the gastric wall mucus, ulcer areas, and histology and immunohistochemistry of the gastric wall were assessed. Gastric homogenates were determined for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), superoxide dismutase (SOD), andmalondialdehyde (MDA) content. Ulcer group exhibited significantly severe mucosal injury as compared with omeprazole or extract which shows significant protection towards gastric mucosal injury the plant promotes ulcer protection as it shows significant reduction of ulcer area grossly, and histology showed marked reduction of edema and leucocytes infiltration of submucosal layer compared with ulcer group. Immunohistochemistry showed overexpression of Hsp70 protein and downexpression of Bax protein in rats pretreated with extract. Significant increased in the pH, mucus of gastric content and high levels of PGE2, SOD and reduced amount of MDA was observed.

Abstract
Human HSPA2 is a member of the HSPA (HSP70) family of heat-shock proteins, encoded by the gene originally described as testis-specific. Recently, it has been reported that HSPA2 can be also expressed in human somatic tissues in a cell-type specific manner. The aim of the present study was to find out whether HSPA2 can increase the resistance of somatic cells to the toxic effect of heat shock, proteasome inhibitors, and several anticancer cytostatics. We used a Chinese hamster fibroblast V79 cell line because these cells do not express the HSPA2 and cytoprotective HSPA1 proteins under normal culture conditions and show limited ability to express HSPA1 in response to heat shock and proteasome inhibitors. We established, by retroviral gene transfer, a stable V79/HSPA2 cell line, which constitutively overexpressed HSPA2 protein. The major observation of our study was that HSPA2 increased long-term survival of cells subjected to heat shock and proteasome inhibitors. We found, that HSPA2 confers resistance to bortezomib-induced apoptosis. Thus, we showed for the first time that in somatic cells HSPA2 can be a part of a system protecting cells against cytotoxic stimuli inducing proteotoxic stress.

Abstract
The Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a highly lethal inflammatory lung disorder. Apoptosis plays a key role in its pathogenesis. We showed that an adenovirus expressing the 70 kDa heat shock protein Hsp70 (AdHSP) protected against sepsis-induced lung injury. In this study we tested the hypothesis that AdHSP attenuates apoptosis in sepsis-induced lung injury. Sepsis was induced in rats via cecal ligation and double puncture (2CLP). At the time of 2CLP PBS, AdHSP or AdGFP (an adenoviral vector expressing green fluorescent protein) were injected into the tracheas of septic rats. 48 hours later, lungs were isolated. One lung was fixed for TUNEL staining and immunohistochemistry. The other was homogenized to isolate cytosolic and nuclear protein. Immunoblotting, gel filtration and co-immunoprecipitation were performed in these extracts. In separate experiments MLE-12 cells were incubated with medium, AdHSP or AdGFP. Cells were stimulated with TNFα. Cytosolic and nuclear proteins were isolated. These were subjected to immunoblotting, co- immunoprecipitation and a caspase-3 activity assay. TUNEL assay demonstrated that AdHSP reduced alveolar cell apoptosis. This was confirmed by immunohistochemical detection of caspase 3 abundance. In lung isolated from septic animals, immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation and gel filtration studies revealed an increase in cytoplasmic complexes containing caspases 3, 8 and 9. AdHSP disrupted these complexes. We propose that Hsp70 impairs apoptotic cellular pathways via interactions with caspases. Disruption of large complexes resulted in stabilization of lower molecular weight complexes, thereby, reducing nuclear caspase-3. Prevention of apoptosis in lung injury may preserve alveolar cells and aid in recovery.

Abstract
Twenty pigs were randomly divided into four groups based on the amount of time spent in transport (zero, one, two or four hours). Pathological examination of all transported pigs showed that exfoliation of chief cells from the gastric surface occurred in pigs during transportation. These results imply that integrity of the gastric mucosa was compromised by damage occurring during the four-hour transportation, despite the fact that gastric ulcers were not present. Levels of Hsp90 expression in stomach tissues were significantly decreased (P<0.01) after two-hour transportation, but Hsp70 levels increased significantly (P<0.05) after one, two and four hours of transportation. Hsp27 levels remained relatively stable independent of the length of transport. Levels of αB-crystallin expression in the stomach were significantly increased (P<0.05) after four hours of transportation. Variations in Hsp90, Hsp70, Hsp27 and αB-crystallin levels suggest that distinct protective functions are modulated by different Hsps in stomach tissues during transportation. Alterations in Hsp70 and αB-crystallin expression appear to be associated with protective functions, as no apparent gastric ulcers were present in pigs that underwent four hours of transportation. Levels of heat shock transcription factor-1, which regulate the expression of Hsps, remained relatively stable independent of the transportation period.

Traditional Herbal Medicine, Rikkunshito, Induces HSP60 and Enhances Cytoprotection of Small Intestinal Mucosal Cells as a Nontoxic Chaperone Inducer. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2011; 2012:278958. [PMID: 21822440 PMCID: PMC3140780 DOI: 10.1155/2012/278958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2011] [Revised: 04/05/2011] [Accepted: 05/05/2011] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Increasing incidence of small intestinal ulcers associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has become a topic with recent advances of endoscopic technology. However, the pathogenesis and therapy are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Rikkunshito (TJ-43), a traditional herbal medicine, on expression of HSP60 and cytoprotective ability in small intestinal cell line (IEC-6). Effect of TJ-43 on HSP60 expression in IEC-6 cells was evaluated by immunoblot analysis. The effect of TJ-43 on cytoprotective abilities of IEC-6 cells against hydrogen peroxide or indomethacin was studied by MTT assay, LDH-release assay, caspase-8 activity, and TUNEL. HSP60 was significantly induced by TJ-43. Cell necrosis and apoptosis were significantly suppressed in IEC-6 cells pretreated by TJ-43 with overexpression of HSP60. Our results suggested that HSP60 induced by TJ-43 might play an important role in protecting small intestinal epithelial cells from apoptosis and necrosis in vitro.

Evidence for enhanced cytoprotective function of HSP90-overexpressing small intestinal epithelial cells. Dig Dis Sci 2011; 56:1954-61. [PMID: 21253835 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-010-1558-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2010] [Accepted: 12/31/2010] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
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
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of oral Gln supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, and expression of heat shock protein (Hsp) 70 in weaning piglets. A total of 65 piglets after weaning at 21 d of age (d 0) were used in this experiment. Five piglets were randomly selected and euthanized initially at d 0 to determine baseline values for the expression of Hsp70 in the small intestine. The remaining piglets were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments and received 0 or 1 g of oral Gln/kg of BW every 12 h. After piglets were humanely killed at d 3, 7, and 14 postweaning, the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of piglets were sampled to evaluate intestinal morphology and the expression and localization of Hsp70. The results indicated that oral Gln supplementation increased plasma concentrations of Gln compared with those in control piglets (P < 0.05). Average daily gain and ADFI were greater in piglets orally supplemented with Gln than in control piglets during the whole period (P < 0.05). The incidence of diarrhea in piglets orally supplemented with Gln was 24% less than (P = 0.064) that in control piglets at 8 to 14 d after weaning. The weights of the jejunum and ileum were greater in piglets orally supplemented with Gln compared with those of control piglets relative to BW on d 14 postweaning (P < 0.05). The villus height and the villus height:crypt depth ratio in the jejunum and the ileum were greater in piglets receiving oral Gln on d 14 postweaning (P < 0.05) than in control piglets. These results indicate that Gln supplementation can influence the intestinal morphology of weaned piglets. The expression of hsp70 mRNA and Hsp70 proteins in the duodenum and jejunum was greater in piglets supplemented with Gln than in control piglets (P < 0.05). However, Gln supplementation had no effect on the expression of hsp70 mRNA and Hsp70 proteins in the ileum. Moreover, the localization of Hsp70 in the cytoplasm indicated that Hsp70 has a cytoprotective role in epithelial cell function and structure. These results indicate that Gln supplementation may be beneficial for intestinal health and development and may thus mitigate diarrhea and improve growth performance. The protective mechanisms of Gln in the intestine may be associated with the increase in Hsp70 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Abnormal neutrophil responses have been observed in periodontitis patients, including hyper-reactivity in terms of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) following exposure to the key quorum-sensing plaque bacterium, Fusobacterium nucleatum. This study was designed to characterize the transcriptional response of neutrophils to F. nucleatum. MATERIAL AND METHODS Peripheral blood neutrophils were exposed to F. nucleatum, and gene expression was analysed using high-throughput transcriptomics. RESULTS Microarray technology demonstrated differential expression of 208 genes (163 increased and 43 decreased relative to control genes), which identified regulation of several ontological classes, including signal transduction (13%), transcription regulation (7%) and ROS response (14%). Individual gene expression analysis of selected transcripts, including CSF, CXCL3, FOS, HMOX1, HSP40, SOD2, NFKB2 and GP91, in individual and pooled RNA samples from control and F. nucleatum-exposed neutrophils corroborated microarray data. Analysis of ROS generation, combined with transcript analysis, in response to a panel of proinflammatory stimuli (F. nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide and opsonized Staphylococcus aureus) identified significant differences in ROS and transcript regulatory control. Further analyses of neutrophils from periodontitis patients and periodontally healthy control subjects stimulated with F. nucleatum indicated significant differential induction of several ROS response-related transcripts. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate that neutrophils are transcriptionally active in response to the periodontal pathogen F. nucleatum and that these changes in gene expression are likely to affect neutrophil function. The differential response of neutrophils to a range of stimuli combined with data demonstrating differences between patient and control neutrophils indicate the importance of this cell and its interaction with the local tissue environment in the pathogenesis of periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are crucial for the maintenance of cellular integrity during normal cell growth as well as pathophysiological conditions. While acting as molecular chaperones with their folding activities, HSPs play a cytoprotective role to rescue epithelial cells from several gastric damages including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori. Since the exact relationship between HSP27 phosphorylation and biological function remains unknown in NSAID-induced gastropathy, we hypothesized that revaprazan, a novel acid pump antagonist, can secure significant cytoprotection from NSAID damages through HSP27 accentuation. METHODS We evaluated protective actions of revaprazan against either in vivo animal model of indomethacin induced gastropathy or in vitro cell model focused on HSP27 expression and activation. RESULTS Indomethacin induced significant cytotoxicities accompanied with phosphorylated HSP27 and attenuated levels of HSP27 in the in vitro cell experiment and revaprazan administration protected stomach from indomethacin-induced gastric damages in accordance with HSP27 dephosphorylation in the in vivo animal experiment. HSP27 siRNA abolished these cytoprotective privileges of revaprazan. Indomethacin, 40 mg/kg, po, administration provoked significant levels of gastric damages accompanied with decrement in HSP27, while rats administrated with revaprazan prior to indomethacin imposed the accentuation of HSP27, of which levels were significantly correlated with the prevention of the indomethacin-induced gastric damages. CONCLUSION HSP27 phosphorylation with resultant decrease in HSP27 level was one of the mechanisms of indomethacin-induced cytotoxicity, of which post-translational modifications were prevented with revaprazan administration in the presence of indomethacin. Therefore, acid pump antagonist could be a choice for the prevention of NSAID-induced gastropathy backed up with distinctive cytoprotective action beyond acid suppressor.

Role of protease-activated receptor-2 on cell death and DNA fragmentation in Helicobacter pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells. J Transl Med 2010; 8:85. [PMID: 20846373 PMCID: PMC2945981 DOI: 10.1186/1479-5876-8-85] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2010] [Accepted: 09/16/2010] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulceration and gastric carcinoma. Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), which is activated by trypsin, induced the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), cell proliferation and apoptosis in several cells. Previously, we found that H. pylori induces the expression of PAR-2, which mediates the expression of adhesion molecules integrins in gastric epithelial cells. In the present study, the role of PAR-2 on H. pylori-induced cell death was investigated by determining cell viability, DNA fragmentation, and the activation of MAPK in gastric epithelial AGS cells. Methods AGS cells were cultured in the presence of H. pylori transfected with PAR-2 antisense (AS) oligonucleotide (ODN) or treated with a soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI). Viable cells and DNA fragmentation were determined by trypan blue exclusion assay and the amount of oligonucleosome-bound DNA, respectively. The activation of MAPK such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), was assessed by Western blotting for phospho-specific forms of MAPK. Results H. pylori-induced cell death and DNA fragmentation augmented in the cells transfected with PAR-2 AS ODN or treated with SBTI. The activation of MAPK, induced by H. pylori, were suppressed by transfection with PAR-2 AS ODN or treatment with SBTI. Conclusion PAR-2, whose expression is induced by H. pylori, may prevent cell death and DNA fragmentation with the activation of MAPK in gastric epithelial cells.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the expression and distribution of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in the intestine of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) piglets. Samples from the duodenum, prejejunum, distal jejunum, ileum, and colon of IUGR and normal-body-weight (NBW) piglets were collected at birth. The results indicated that the body and intestine weight of IUGR piglets were significantly lower than NBW piglets. The villus height and villus/crypt ratio in jejunum and ileum of IUGR piglets were significantly reduced compared to NBW piglets. These results indicated that IUGR causes abnormal gastrointestinal morphologies and gastrointestinal dysfunction. The mRNA of hsp70 was increased in prejejunum (P < 0.05), distal jejunum (P < 0.05), and colon in IUGR piglets. However, the hsp70 mRNA in ileum of piglets with IUGR was decreased. Similar to hsp70 mRNA, the protein levels of Hsp70 in prejejunum (P < 0.05), distal jejunum, and colon (P < 0.05) in IUGR piglets were higher than those in NBW piglets. These results indicated that the expression of Hsp70 in the intestinal piglets was upregulated by IUGR, and different intestinal sites had different responses to stress. Meanwhile, the localization of Hsp70 in the epithelial cells of the whole villi and intestinal gland rather than in the lamina propria and myenteron suggested that Hsp70 has a cytoprotective role in epithelial cell function and structure.

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
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
The gastric mucosa maintains structural integrity and function despite continuous exposure to noxious factors, including 0.1 mol/L HCl and pepsin, that are capable of digesting tissue. Under normal conditions, mucosal integrity is maintained by defense mechanisms, which include preepithelial factors (mucus-bicarbonate-phospholipid "barrier"), an epithelial "barrier" (surface epithelial cells connected by tight junctions and generating bicarbonate, mucus, phospholipids, trefoil peptides, prostaglandins (PGs), and heat shock proteins), continuous cell renewal accomplished by proliferation of progenitor cells (regulated by growth factors, PGE(2) and survivin), continuous blood flow through mucosal microvessels, an endothelial "barrier," sensory innervation, and generation of PGs and nitric oxide. Mucosal injury may occur when noxious factors "overwhelm" an intact mucosal defense or when the mucosal defense is impaired. We review basic components of gastric mucosal defense and discuss conditions in which mucosal injury is directly related to impairment in mucosal defense, focusing on disorders with important clinical sequelae: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated injury, which is primarily related to inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated PG synthesis, and stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD), which occurs with local ischemia. The annual incidence of NSAID-associated upper gastrointestinal (GI) complications such as bleeding is approximately 1%-1.5%; and reductions in these complications have been demonstrated with misoprostol, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) (only documented in high-risk patients), and COX-2 selective inhibitors. Clinically significant bleeding from SRMD is relatively uncommon with modern intensive care. Pharmacologic therapy with antisecretory drugs may be used in high-risk patients (eg, mechanical ventilation >or=48 hours), although the absolute risk reduction is small, and a decrease in mortality is not documented.

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." However, the influence of HSP70 on gastric mucosal healing under physical stimulation or stress is not completely understood. 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). Artificial wounds were created. Mechanical stretch was applied to 7018-RGM-1 cells or pBK-CMV-12 cells. The effect of mechanical stretch on HSP70 expression was assessed by Western blot analysis. Expression of HSP70 was decreased by mechanical stretch in pBK-CMV-12 cells. However, expression of HSP70 was not decreased by mechanical stretch in 7018-RGM-1 cells. Furthermore, the wound restoration of pBK-CMV-12 cells was suppressed under mechanical stretch condition. On the other hand, the wound restoration of 7018-RGM-1 cells was not affected by mechanical stretch. These results suggest that HSP70 plays an important role in gastric wound healing under physical stress.

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
AIM: To explore the mechanism of moxibustion on the acupoints of Foot-Yangming Meridian in protecting gastric mucosa by observing the effects of moxibustion pretreatment at Zusanli (ST36) and Liangmen (ST21) on HSP70 protein and mRNA expression in the stress-induced gastric ulcer of rats.
METHODS: Sixty Sprague Dawley rats were averagely randomized into blank group (A), model group (B), Zusanli and Liangmen-moxibustion group (C) and control group (D). The expression of HSP70 protein and mRNA of gastric mucosa were determined by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The content of endothelin (ET) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in gastric mucosa were detected by radioimmunoassay.
RESULTS: The ulcerative index (UI) was significantly different between group B and group A, C (P = 0.000, P = 0.001), as well as between group D and grop A, C (P = 0.001). Moxibustion on Zusanli and Liangmen relieved gastric mucosal injury obviously. The content of PGE2 was markedly lower in group A than that in group B and D (P = 0.011, P = 0.028), but it was notably higher in group C (P = 0.020, P = 0.048). PGE2 content was up-regulated after Moxibustion pretreatment. Meanwhile, Moxibustion lowered the content of ET (C vs B, P = 0.020), significantly. The expression of HSP70 protein and mRNA were increased in stress-induced gastric ulcer of rats (P = 0.039, P = 0.008), but Moxibustion pretreatment enhanced the up-regulated expression of HSP70 distinctly (C vs B, D: P = 0.003, P = 0.035; P = 0.000, P = 0.001 for protein and mRNA, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Moxibustion on Zusanli and Liangmen can protect gastric mucosa through inducing high expression of HSP70 protein and mRNA, with the relative specificity of the acupoints.
