Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a large family of molecular chaperones that are well-known for their roles in protein maturation, re-folding and degradation. While some Hsps are constitutively expressed in certain regions, others are rapidly upregulated in the presence of stressful stimuli. Numerous stressors, including hyperthermia and hypoxia, can induce the expression of Hsps, which, in turn, interact with client proteins and co-chaperones to regulate cell growth and survival. Such interactions must be tightly regulated, especially at critical points during embryonic and postnatal development. Hsps exhibit specific patterns of expression consistent with a spatio-temporally regulated role in neurodevelopment. There is also growing evidence that Hsps may promote or inhibit neurodevelopment through specific pathways regulating cell differentiation, neurite outgrowth, cell migration, or angiogenesis. This review will examine the regulatory role that these individual chaperones may play in neurodevelopment, and will focus specifically on the signaling pathways involved in the maturation of neuronal and glial cells as well as the underlying vascular network.

Abstract
The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the Hsp-70, 27 and Ubiquitin mRNA expressions and serum T3 concentration in synthetic colored broiler female lines, Punjab Broiler-2 (PB-2), and Naked neck (NN) broiler chicken whose eggs were exposed to 2°C increased incubation temperature for 3 hours each on the 16th, 17 th, and 18th day of incubation. Another set of eggs were incubated at normal conditions that were utilized as the control. A total of 432 chicks, 216 from each breed (PB-2; NN) and treatment (Heat exposed: HE; normal: N), were randomly distributed and reared at high ambient temperatures (32°C-45°C) during the summer season in battery brooders. Birds were sacrificed at 0 and the 28th day post hatch and different tissues (heart, liver, muscle, spleen, and bursa) were collected to study Hsps and ubiquitin mRNA expression. There was no difference between the breeds and age of slaughter in Hsp-70 mRNA expression. The Hsp(70, 27, and ubiquitin) mRNA expression was significantly (P≤0.001) lower in HE birds than that of N birds in PB-2 chickens. Nonsignificant variation was observed in NN chicken. The Hsp-70 mRNA expression was highest in bursa and lowest in muscle and liver. Serum T3 concentration was similar in both HE and N birds. The study concludes that exposure to increased temperature during incubation results in reduced expressions of Hsp mRNA in almost all tissues indicating better thermotolerance of the HE birds.

Abstract
In the developing chick retina, heat shock protein 108 (HSP108), which exhibits transferrin binding activity, has been demonstrated at the mRNA level, while transferrin shows two expression peaks. Here, we investigated the expression profile of HSP108 in the developing chick retina at the protein level. The localization of HSP108 in embryonic days 15 (E15), E18, and postnatal day 2 (P2) chick retina was examined immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody 9G10 specific for chick HSP108, while the expression levels of HSP108 in developing chick retina from E12 to P2 and adult were measured by Western blot analysis. HSP108 was expressed in the ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, inner segments of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium. Two peaks of HSP108 expression were found at around E13 and E18, respectively. Since the two HSP108 peaks appeared to be correlated with the transferrin expression peaks during retinal development, HSP108 may be associated with iron metabolism during the development of the retina.

Abstract
GlsA, a J-protein chaperone, is required for the asymmetric divisions that set aside germ and somatic cell precursors during embryogenesis in Volvox carteri, and previous evidence indicated that this function requires an intact Hsp70-binding site. To determine if Hsp70A, the only known cytoplasmic Hsp70 in V. carteri, is the chaperone partner of GlsA, we investigated the localization of the two proteins during critical stages of embryogenesis and tested their capacity to interact. We found that a substantial fraction of Hsp70A co-localizes with GlsA, both in interphase and mitotic blastomeres. In addition, Hsp70A coimmunoprecipitated with GlsA, and co-expression of GlsA and Hsp70A variants partially rescued the Gls phenotype of a glsA mutant, whereas neither variant by itself rescued the mutant phenotype. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that GlsA is about equally abundant in all blastomeres at all cleavage stages examined but that Hsp70A is more abundant in anterior (asymmetrically dividing) blastomeres than in posterior (symmetrically dividing) blastomeres during the period of asymmetric division. We conclude that Hsp70A and GlsA function as chaperone partners that regulate asymmetric division and that the relative abundance of Hsp70A in asymmetrically dividing embryos may determine which blastomeres divide asymmetrically and which do not.

Abstract
This study evaluated the expression of heat shock protein 70 kD (hsp70) in broiler chicken embryos subjected to cold (Experiment I) or high incubation temperature (Experiment II). In each experiment, fertile eggs were distributed in three incubators kept at 37.8 degrees C. At day 13 (D13), D16, and D19 of incubation, the embryos were subjected to acute cold (32 degrees C) or heat (40 degrees C) for 4-6 hr. Immediately after cold or heat exposure, samples from the liver, heart, breast muscle, brain, and lungs of 40 embryos were taken per age and treatment (control or stressed embryos). A tissue pool from 10 embryos was used as 1 replication. The levels of hsp70 in each tissue sample was quantified by Western blot analysis. The data were analyzed in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with four replications. hsp70 was detected in all embryo tissues, and the brain contained 2- to 5-times more hsp70 protein compared to the other tissues in either cold or heat stressed embryos. hsp70 increases were observed in the heart and breast muscle of cold stressed embryos at D16 and D19, respectively. Heat stressed embryos showed an increase of hsp70 in the heart at D13 and D19, and in the lung at D19 of incubation. Younger embryos had higher hsp70 synthesis than older embryos, irrespective of the type of thermal stressor. The results indicate that the expression of hsp70 in broiler chicken embryos is affected by cold and heat distress, and is tissue- and age-dependent.

Abstract
Stathmin is a developmentally regulated cytosolic protein expressed at high levels in the brain. Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis and mass spectroscopy of proteins expressed in immature and mature cultures from embryonic rat cerebral cortex identified stathmin among several differentially expressed proteins, consistent with a possible role in neurogenesis. Stathmin immunohistochemistry in adult rodent brain revealed prominent expression in neuroproliferative zones and neuronal migration pathways, a pattern that resembles the expression of doublecortin, which is implicated in neuronal migration. Stathmin immunoreactivity was also associated with neurons undergoing ectopic chain migration into the ischemic striatum and cerebral cortex following focal cerebral ischemia. Reducing the expression of stathmin or doublecortin with an antisense oligonucleotide inhibited the migration of new neurons from the subventricular zone to the olfactory bulb via the rostral migratory stream. These results suggest a role for stathmin in the migration of newborn neurons in the adult brain.

Abstract
In a developmental study on the expression of heat shock protein 108 (HSP108) mRNA in the chicken retina, we found different spatial and temporal expressions of HSP108 mRNA in each retinal layer. While intense HSP108 signals were found in the retina neuroblast layer at embryonic day 5 (E5), the ganglion cell population (GC), inner nuclear layer (IN) and pigment epithelium (PE) showed HSP108 expression at E9. At E14, HSP108 signals were reduced versus the previous stages even though signals were still detected in the GC, the IN, the outer nuclear layer and the PE. HSP108 signals were still detectable at the E21 stage, although each retinal layer showed a much differentiated morphology and diminished signal intensity. These results suggest that HSP108 expression might be developmentally regulated throughout eye organogenesis and that it plays a role in ocular development.

Abstract
Neuronal cell death is a genuine developmental process, with precise regulation and defined roles. In striking contrast, characterization of cell death that occurs at early stages of neural development is very limited. We previously showed that embryonic proinsulin increases the level of the chaperone heat shock cognate 70 (Hsc70) and reduces the incidence of apoptosis in the neurulating chick embryo [de la Rosa, et al. (1998), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 95, 9950]. We now demonstrate that Hsc70 is directly involved in cell survival during neurulation, as specific downregulation of endogenous Hsc70 by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide interference provoked an increase in apoptosis both in vitro and in ovo. In parallel, activation of caspase-3 was increased after hsc70 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide treatment. Dead cells were located mostly in the developing nervous system, distributed in areas where the incidence of cell death was high. These areas coincided both in vivo and under different death-inducing conditions, including antisense interference and growth factor deprivation. Hsc70 immunostaining was strong in at least some areas of high cell death. Apoptotic cells within these areas presented undetectable Hsc70 levels, however, suggesting that this protein acts as an intrinsic protector of neuroepithelial and neural precursor cells.

Abstract
The presence of heat shock proteins HSP-40, HSP-70, and HSc-70 in adult and embryonic chicken lenses were determined. The epithelium, cortex, and nucleus of adult chicken lens were separated and tested for the presence of heat shock proteins (hsps) by western blot, using specific antibodies for HSP-40, HSP-70, and HSc-70. Water soluble (WSF) and water insoluble fractions (WIF) of embryonic chicken lenses were isolated and tested for the presence of HSP-40, HSP-70, and HSc-70 by immunoblot. Embryonic chicken lens sections were also analyzed for the presence of heat shock proteins by immunofluorescence technique. Data obtained from these experiments revealed that HSP-40, HSP-70, and HSc-70 are present in all areas of both adult and embryonic chicken lens. Presence of hsps protein in the deep cortex and nucleus is intriguing as no detectable metabolic activities are reported in this area. However it can be proposed that hsps HSP-40, HSP-70, and HSc-70 can interact with protein of these areas and protect them from stress induced denaturation.

Abstract
The important effect of cell death on projecting neurons during development is well established. However, this mainstream research might have diverted recognition of the cell death that occurs at earlier stages of neural development, affecting proliferating neural precursor cells and young neuroblasts. In this article, we briefly present observations supporting the occurrence of programmed cell death during early neural development in a regulated fashion that to some extent parallels the death of projecting neurons lacking neurotrophic support. These findings raise new questions, in particular the magnitude and the role of this early neural cell death.

Abstract
The signaling cascade Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinases modulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival, all key cellular processes during neural development. To better define the in vivo role of Raf during chick retinal neurogenesis, we interfered with Raf-dependent signaling during days 4.5 to 7.5 of embryonic development by expressing a dominant negative mutant of c-Raf (DeltaRaf), which blocks Ras-dependent Raf activation, and by overexpressing wild-type c-Raf. DeltaRaf expression induced an increase in cell death by apoptosis, whereas it did not affect overall cell proliferation and differentiation. In parallel, the number of Islet-1/2-positive and TUJ1-positive retinal ganglion cells were diminished in their definitive layer, whereas there was an increase in the number of mislocated Islet-1/2-positive cells. This disturbed morphogenesis correlated with a disruption of the optic fiber layer. Conversely, c-Raf overexpression caused moderate opposite effects on apoptosis. These results frame in vivo early neurogenesis processes in which c-Raf is essential.

Abstract
The role of programmed cell death is well established for connecting neurons. Conversely, much less is known about apoptosis affecting proliferating neuroepithelial cells. Chick retina from day 4 to day 6 of embryonic development (E), essentially proliferative, presented a defined distribution of apoptotic cells during normal in vivo development, as visualized by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL). Insulin, expressed in the early chick embryonic retina as proinsulin, attenuated apoptosis in growth factor-deprived organotypic culture of E5 retina. This effect was demonstrated both by TUNEL and by staining of pyknotic nuclei, as well as by release of nucleosomes. Application of a 1 h [methyl-3H]thymidine pulse in ovo at E5, followed by organotypic culture in the presence or absence of insulin, showed that this factor alone decreased the degradation of labelled DNA to nucleosomes by 40%, as well as the proportion of labelled pyknotic nuclei. Both features are a consequence of apoptosis affecting neuroepithelial cells, which were in S-phase or shortly after. In addition, when the E5 embryos were maintained in ovo after the application of [methyl-3H]thymidine, 70% of the apoptotic retinal cells were labelled, indicating the in vivo prevalence of cell death among actively proliferating neuroepithelial cells. Apoptotic cell death is thus temporally and spatially regulated during proliferative stages of retinal neurogenesis, and embryonic proinsulin is presumably an endogenous protective factor.

Abstract
The non-inducible chaperone heat shock cognate 70 kDa (Hsc70) is regulated during development. We now characterize its dynamic expression pattern from gastrulation to early organogenesis. Throughout this developmental period, hsc70 transcripts were largely restricted to neuroectoderm- and mesoderm-derived structures. In stage 10 embryos, Hsc70 protein was expressed in the neural tube with increasing rostrocaudal and decreasing dorsoventral gradients, and in some somite cells. This highly regulated expression of Hsc70 is likely to reflect specific developmental functions, besides its well-characterized role in protein folding.
