Abstract
This study was conducted to visualize the lobular distribution of enhanced mRNA expression levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in liver samples from carbon tetra chloride (CCl4)-treated mice using in-situ hybridization (ISH). Male BALB/c mice given a single oral administration of CCl4 were euthanized 6 hours or 1 day after the administration (6 h or 1 day). Paraffin-embedded liver samples were obtained, ISH for HSPs was conducted, as well as hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). At 6 h, centrilobular hepatocellular vacuolization was observed, and increased signals for Hspa1a, Hspa1b, and Grp78, which are HSPs, were noted in the centrilobular area using ISH. At 1 day, zonal hepatocellular necrosis was observed in the centrilobular area, but mRNA signal increases for HSPs were no longer observed there. Some discrepancies between ISH and IHC for HSPs were observed, and they might be partly caused by post-transcriptional gene regulation, including the ribosome quality control mechanisms. It is known that CCl4 damages centrilobular hepatocytes through metabolization by cytochrome P450, mainly located in the centrilobular region, and HSPs are induced under cellular stress. Therefore, our ISH results visualized increased mRNA expression levels of HSPs in the centrilobular hepatocytes of mice 6 hours after a single administration of CCl4 as a response to cellular stress, and it disappeared 1 day after the treatment when remarkable necrosis was observed there.

Abstract
Proteostasis is maintained through regulated protein synthesis and degradation and chaperone-assisted protein folding. However, this is challenging in neuronal projections because of their polarized morphology and constant synaptic proteome remodeling. Using high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, we discovered that neurons localize a subset of chaperone mRNAs to their dendrites and use microtubule-based transport to increase this asymmetric localization following proteotoxic stress. The most abundant dendritic chaperone mRNA encodes a constitutive heat shock protein 70 family member (HSPA8). Proteotoxic stress also enhanced HSPA8 mRNA translation efficiency in dendrites. Stress-mediated HSPA8 mRNA localization to the dendrites was impaired by depleting fused in sarcoma-an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-related protein-in cultured mouse motor neurons and expressing a pathogenic variant of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 in neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. These results reveal a crucial and unexpected neuronal stress response in which RNA-binding proteins increase the dendritic localization of HSPA8 mRNA to maintain proteostasis and prevent neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Cell functionality relies on the existing pool of proteins and their folding into functional conformations. This is achieved through the regulation of protein synthesis, which requires error-free mRNAs and ribosomes. Ribosomes are quality control hubs for mRNAs and proteins. Problems during translation elongation slow down the decoding rate, leading to ribosome halting and the eventual collision with the next ribosome. Collided ribosomes form a specific disome structure recognized and solved by ribosome quality control (RQC) mechanisms. RQC pathways orchestrate the degradation of the problematic mRNA by no-go decay and the truncated nascent peptide, the repression of translation initiation, and the recycling of the stalled ribosomes. All these events maintain protein homeostasis and return valuable ribosomes to translation. As such, cell homeostasis and function are maintained at the mRNA level by preventing the production of aberrant or unnecessary proteins. It is becoming evident that the crosstalk between RQC and the protein homeostasis network is vital for cell function, as the absence of RQC components leads to the activation of stress response and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we review the molecular events of RQC discovered through well-designed stalling reporters. Given the impact of RQC in proteostasis, we discuss the relevance of identifying endogenous mRNA regulated by RQC and their preservation in stress conditions. This article is categorized under: RNA Turnover and Surveillance > Turnover/Surveillance Mechanisms Translation > Regulation.
