Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have reduced lipid-stimulated mitochondrial respiration in skeletal muscle. A major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele, is implicated in lipid metabolism and is associated with metabolic and oxidative stress that can result from dysfunctional mitochondria. Heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) is protective against these stressors and is elevated in the AD brain. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to characterize skeletal muscle ApoE and Hsp72 protein expression in APOE4 carriers in relationship to cognitive status, muscle mitochondrial respiration and AD biomarkers. METHODS We analyzed previously collected skeletal muscle tissue from 24 APOE4 carriers (60y+) who were cognitively healthy (CH, n = 9) or MCI (n = 15). We measured ApoE and Hsp72 protein levels in muscle and phosphorylated tau181 (pTau181) levels in plasma, and leveraged previously collected data on APOE genotype, mitochondrial respiration during lipid oxidation, and VO2 max. RESULTS Muscle ApoE (p = 0.013) and plasma pTau181 levels (p < 0.001) were higher in MCI APOE4 carriers. Muscle ApoE positively correlated with plasma pTau181 in all APOE4 carriers (R2 = 0.338, p = 0.003). Hsp72 expression negatively correlated with ADP (R2 = 0.775, p = <0.001) and succinate-stimulated respiration (R2 = 0.405, p = 0.003) in skeletal muscle of MCI APOE4 carriers. Plasma pTau181 negatively tracked with VO2 max in all APOE4 carriers (R2 = 0.389, p = 0.003). Analyses were controlled for age. CONCLUSION This work supports a relationship between cellular stress in skeletal muscle and cognitive status in APOE4 carriers.

Flavangenol regulates gene expression of HSPs, anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative factors to protect primary chick brain cells exposed to high temperature. J Therm Biol 2019; 81:1-11.

Abstract
Heat-stress exposure increased the expression of heat-shock proteins (HSPs), B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) and anti-oxidative enzymes to maintain normal cellular function by attenuating the oxidative reaction and apoptosis. Reducing the stress response or enhancing anti-stress capability is an important goal in animal production. Our previous study indicated a protective role of flavangenol, a pine bark extract, in chicks after three hours of high-temperature exposure. However, the cellular mechanism of flavangenol was not clarified ex vivo. In the current study, we investigated the effect of flavangenol on cellular apoptosis and oxidation in heat-stressed treated chick brain cells (mixed neurons and glia cells). The primary brain cells were isolated from the diencephalon of 14-day-old chicks and cultured at 41.5 °C (to mimic the body temperature of young chicks), and were treated with flavangenol from day 3 of isolation to day 8. Cells were kept bathed in the cell culture dish under a high temperature (HT: 45 °C, 20 or 60 min) on day 8 and were then collected for analysis of cell viability as well as for HSP and other related gene expression. Flavangenol treatment significantly increased cell viability and BCL-2 mRNA expression, and attenuated HSP-70 and BCL-2-associated X protein mRNA expression. Moreover, flavangenol treatment elevated the mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase in the HT group, which indicates that cellular anti-oxidative ability was strengthened by flavangenol. In conclusion, flavangenol may play a protective role in cells damaged or killed by heat stress by increasing cellular anti-oxidative pathways.

Abstract
Cell-type specific variations are typical for the expression of different members of the HSP70 family. In circulating immune cells, HSP70 proteins interact with units of signaling pathways involved in the immune responses and may promote cell survival in sites of inflammation. In this work, we compared basal HSP70 expression and stress-induced HSP70 response in polymorphonuclear and mononuclear human leukocytes. The intracellular content of inducible and constitutive forms of HSP70 was analyzed in relation to the transcriptional activity of HSPA genes. Hyperthermia was used as the stress model for induction of HSP70 synthesis in the cells. Our results demonstrated that granulocytes (mainly neutrophils) and mononuclear cells differ significantly by both basal HSP70 expression and levels of HSP70 induction under hyperthermia. The differences were observed at the levels of HSPA gene transcription and intracellular HSP70 content. The expression of constitutive Hsс70 protein was much higher in mononuclear cells consisting of monocytes and lymphocytes than in granulocytes. At the same time, intact neutrophils showed increased expression of inducible Hsp70 protein compared to mononuclear cells. Heat treatment induced additional expression of HSPA genes in leukocytes. The most pronounced increase in the expression was observed in polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leukocytes for HSPA1A/B. However, in granulocytes, the induction of the transcription of the HSPA8 gene encoding the Hsc70 protein was significantly higher than in mononuclear cells. These variations in transcriptional activity of HSPA genes and intracellular HSP70 content in different populations of leukocytes may reflect specified requirements for the chaperone activity in the cells with a distinct functional role in the immune system.

Abstract
We used pulse-labeling with the methionine analogue homopropargylglycine (HPG) to investigate spatiotemporal aspects of protein synthesis during herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. In vivo incorporation of HPG enables subsequent selective coupling of fluorochrome-capture reagents to newly synthesised proteins. We demonstrate that HPG labeling had no effect on cell viability, on accumulation of test early or late viral proteins, or on overall virus yields. HPG pulse-labeling followed by SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed incorporation into newly synthesised proteins, while parallel processing by in situ cycloaddition revealed new insight into spatiotemporal aspects of protein localisation during infection. A striking feature was the rapid accumulation of newly synthesised proteins not only in a general nuclear pattern but additionally in newly forming sub-compartments represented by small discrete foci. These newly synthesised protein domains (NPDs) were similar in size and morphology to PML domains but were more numerous, and whereas PML domains were progressively disrupted, NPDs were progressively induced and persisted. Immediate-early proteins ICP4 and ICP0 were excluded from NPDs, but using an ICP0 mutant defective in PML disruption, we show a clear spatial relationship between NPDs and PML domains with NPDs frequently forming immediately adjacent and co-joining persisting PML domains. Further analysis of location of the chaperone Hsc70 demonstrated that while NPDs formed early in infection without overt Hsc70 recruitment, later in infection Hsc70 showed pronounced recruitment frequently in a coat-like fashion around NPDs. Moreover, while ICP4 and ICP0 were excluded from NPDs, ICP22 showed selective recruitment. Our data indicate that NPDs represent early recruitment of host and viral de novo translated protein to distinct structural entities which are precursors to the previously described VICE domains involved in protein quality control in the nucleus, and reveal new features from which we propose spatially linked platforms of newly synthesised protein processing after nuclear import.

Abstract
An experimental ischemia (EI)-induced mouse model was used to
analyze pathological and biochemical alterations in testes. Initial
morphological changes were observed in Sertoli cells of EI testes at
the light microscopic level. Examination of the ultrastructure using
transmission electron microscopy confirmed that Sertoli cells were
partially detached from the basement membrane of the seminiferous
epithelium and that the cell membranes of adjacent Sertoli cells were
not joined. The functional integrity of the blood-testis barrier (BTB)
was assessed using the lanthanum tracer technique. Lanthanum had
penetrated into the spaces between adjacent Sertoli cells in the
adluminal compartment up to the lumen of the seminiferous epithelium
in EI testes. Proteome analysis showed that the expression of heat
shock protein (HSP) 70 was significantly upregulated in EI testes.
Western blot analysis confirmed that the expression of HSP70 increased
in a time-dependent manner after the EI procedure. HSP70
immunostaining was observed in spermatocytes and in round and
elongated spermatids in EI testes. Our results suggest that a change
in the junctions between adjacent Sertoli cells on the basal
compartment is involved in the BTB disruption in EI testes. Therefore,
male infertility caused by the BTB disruption could be associated with
heat stress induced by ischemia.

Abstract
Despite enormous progress in radiation technologies (high precision image-guided irradiation, proton irradiation, heavy ion irradiation) and radiotherapeutic concepts (hypofractionated irradiation schemes), the clinical outcome of radiotherapy in locally advanced and metastasized tumors and in hypoxic tumors which are radiation-resistant remains unsatisfactory. Given their key influence on a number of biological and immunological parameters, this article considers the influence of irradiation-induced stress proteins on radiation-induced immunomodulation. Depending on its location, the major stress-inducible Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has been found to fulfill multiple roles. On the one hand, increased intracellular Hsp70 levels have been found to play a key role in the recovery from stress such as radio(chemo)therapy, and on the other hand extracellular Hsp70 proteins are potent stimulators of the innate immune system and mediators of anti-tumor immunity. Furthermore, if loaded with tumor-derived peptides, members of the Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) and 90 (HSP90) families can stimulate the adaptive immune system via antigen cross-presentation. An irradiation-induced enhancement of the selective expression of a membrane form of Hsp70 on the surface of tumor cells which can act as a recognition structure for activated NK cells might have significant clinical relevance, in that the outcome of irradiation therapy for advanced tumors could be improved by combining it with cell-based and other immunotherapies that target this membrane form of Hsp70.

Abstract
The translation of basic research into improved therapies for breast cancer patients requires relevant preclinical models that incorporate spontaneous metastasis. We have completed a functional and molecular characterisation of a new isogenic C57BL/6 mouse model of breast cancer metastasis, comparing and contrasting it with the established BALB/c 4T1 model. Metastatic EO771.LMB tumours were derived from poorly metastatic parental EO771 mammary tumours. Functional differences were evaluated using both in vitro assays and spontaneous metastasis assays in mice. Results were compared to non-metastatic 67NR and metastatic 4T1.2 tumours of the 4T1 model. Protein and transcript levels of markers of human breast cancer molecular subtypes were measured in the four tumour lines, as well as p53 (Tp53) tumour-suppressor gene status and responses to tamoxifen in vivo and in vitro. Array-based expression profiling of whole tumours identified genes and pathways that were deregulated in metastatic tumours. EO771.LMB cells metastasised spontaneously to lung in C57BL/6 mice and displayed increased invasive capacity compared with parental EO771. By immunohistochemical assessment, EO771 and EO771.LMB were basal-like, as was the 4T1.2 tumour, whereas 67NR had a luminal phenotype. Primary tumours from all lines were negative for progesterone receptor, Erb-b2/Neu and cytokeratin 5/6, but positive for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Only 67NR displayed nuclear estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) positivity. EO771 and EO771.LMB expressed mutant p53, whereas 67NR and 4T1.2 were p53-null. Integrated molecular analysis of both the EO771/EO771.LMB and 67NR/4T1.2 pairs indicated that upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), parathyroid hormone-like hormone (Pthlh) and S100 calcium binding protein A8 (S100a8) and downregulation of the thrombospondin receptor (Cd36) might be causally involved in metastatic dissemination of breast cancer.

Heat shock protein 70 down-regulates the production of toll-like receptor-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines by a heat shock factor-1/constitutive heat shock element-binding factor-dependent mechanism. JOURNAL OF INFLAMMATION-LONDON 2014; 11:19. [PMID: 25053922 PMCID: PMC4105516 DOI: 10.1186/1476-9255-11-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2013] [Accepted: 07/05/2014] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is an intracellular chaperone protein with regulatory and cytoprotective functions. Hsp70 can also be found in the extracellular milieu, as a result of active secretion or passive release from damaged cells. The role of extracellular Hsp70 is not fully understood. Some studies report that it activates monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells through innate immune receptors (such as Toll-like receptors, TLRs), while others report that Hsp70 is a negative regulator of the inflammatory response. In order to address this apparent inconsistency, in this study we evaluated the response of human monocytes to a highly purified recombinant Hsp70. METHODS Human peripheral blood monocytes were stimulated with Hsp70, alone or in combination with TLR agonists. Cytokines were quantified in culture supernatants, their mRNAs were measured by RT-PCR, and the binding of transcription factors was evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Kruskal-Wallis test or one-way or two-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The addition of Hsp70 to TLR-activated monocytes down-regulated TNF-α as well as IL-6 levels. This effect was independent of a physical interaction between Hsp70 and TLR agonists; instead it resulted of changes at the TNF-α gene expression level. The decrease in TNF-α expression correlated with the binding of HSF-1 (heat shock transcription factor 1, a transcription factor activated in response to Hsp70) and CHBF (constitutive HSE-binding factor) to the TNF-α gene promoter. CONCLUSION Extracellular Hsp70 negatively regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines of monocytes exposed to TLR agonists and contributes to dampen the inflammatory response.

In vitro palmitate treatment of myotubes from postmenopausal women leads to ceramide accumulation, inflammation and affected insulin signaling. PLoS One 2014; 9:e101555. [PMID: 25000528 PMCID: PMC4084812 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0101555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2014] [Accepted: 06/07/2014] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Menopause is associated with an increased incidence of insulin resistance and metabolic diseases. In a chronic palmitate treatment model, we investigated the role of skeletal muscle fatty acid exposure in relation to the metabolic deterioration observed with menopause. Human skeletal muscle satellite cells were isolated from premenopausal (n = 6) and postmenopausal (n = 5) women. In an in vitro model, the myotubes were treated with palmitate (300 µM) for one-, two- or three days during differentiation. Effects on lipid accumulation, inflammation and insulin signaling were studied. Palmitate treatment led to a 108% (CI 95%: 50%; 267%) increase in intramyocellular ceramide in the myotubes from the postmenopausal women (post-myotubes) compared with a 26% (CI 95%: -57%; 96%) increase in myotubes from the premenopausal women (pre-myotubes), (p<0.05). Furthermore, post-myotubes had a 22% (CI 95%: 4%; 34%) increase in pJNK (p = 0.04) and a 114% (CI 95%: 50%; 177%) increase in Hsp70 protein expression (p = 0.03) after three days of palmitate treatment, compared with pre-myotubes, in which no increase in either pJNK (-12% (CI 95: -26%; 2%)) or Hsp70 (7% (CI 95: -78%; 91%)) was detected. Furthermore, post-myotubes showed a blunted insulin stimulated phosphorylation of AS160 in response to chronic palmitate treatment compared with pre-myotubes (p = 0.02). The increased intramyocellular ceramide content in the post-myotubes was associated with a significantly higher mRNA expression of Serine Palmitoyltransferase1 (SPT1) after one day of palmitate treatment (p = 0.03) in post-myotubes compared with pre-myotubes. Our findings indicate that post-myotubes are more prone to develop lipid accumulation and defective insulin signaling following chronic saturated fatty acid exposure as compared to pre-myotubes.

Abstract
Heat induces Hsp70.1 (HSPA1) and Hsc70 (HSPA8) to form complex detergent insoluble cytoplasmic and nuclear structures that are distinct from the cytoskeleton and internal cell membranes. These novel structures have not been observed by earlier immunofluorescence studies as they are obscured by the abundance of soluble Hsp70.1/Hsc70 present in cells. While resistant to detergents, these Hsp70 structures display complex intracellular dynamics and are efficiently disaggregated by ATP, indicating that this pool of Hsp70.1/Hsc70 retains native function and regulation. Hsp70.1 promotes the repair of proteotoxic damage and cell survival after stress. In heated fibroblasts expressing Hsp70.1, Hsp70.1 and Hsc70 complexes are efficiently disaggregated before the cells undergo-heat induced apoptosis. In the absence of Hsp70.1, fibroblasts have increased rates of heat-induced apoptosis and maintain stable insoluble Hsc70 structures. The differences in the intracellular distribution of Hsp70.1 and Hsc70, combined with the ability of Hsp70.1, but not Hsc70, to promote the disaggregation of insoluble Hsp70.1/Hsc70 complexes, indicate that these two closely related proteins perform distinctly different cellular functions in heated cells.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce extracellular signals to the interior of the cell by activating membrane-bound guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins). An increasing number of proteins have been reported to bind to and regulate GPCRs. We report a novel regulation of the alpha(2A) adrenergic receptor (α(2A)-R) by the ubiquitous stress-inducible 70kDa heat shock protein, hsp70. Hsp70, but not hsp90, attenuated G protein-dependent high affinity agonist binding to the α(2A)-R in Sf9 membranes. Antagonist binding was unchanged, suggesting that hsp70 uncouples G proteins from the receptor. As hsp70 did not bind G proteins but complexed with the α(2A)-R in intact cells, a direct interaction with the receptor seems likely. In the presence of hsp70, α(2A)-R-catalyzed [(35)S]GTPγS binding was reduced by approximately 70%. In contrast, approximately 50-fold higher concentrations of hsp70 were required to reduce agonist binding to the stress-inducible 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) receptor (5-HT(1A)-R). In heat-stressed CHO cells, the α(2A)-R was significantly uncoupled from G proteins, coincident with an increased localization of hsp70 at the membrane. The contrasting effect of hsp70 on the α(2A)-R compared to the 5-HT(1A)-R suggests that during stress, upregulation of hsp70 may attenuate signaling from specific GPCRs as part of the stress response to foster survival.

Abstract
The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family members function as ATP-dependent molecular chaperones that assist in the folding of newly synthesized polypeptides and in the refolding of misfolded/aggregated proteins. These heat shock proteins comprise at least eight sets of molecular groups that share high homology, but differ from each other in their expression level and subcellular localization. Hsp72, which is also known as Hsp70 and Hsp70-1, is localized mainly in the cytoplasm but is also found in the nucleus. Stress-induced Hsp72 functions as a chaperone enabling the cells to cope with harmful aggregations of denatured proteins during and following stress. The difference in the function of Hsp72 from that of other Hsp70 members, however, remains unclear. We report the establishment of a monoclonal antibody specific for Hsp72 using the rat medial iliac lymph node method. Immunoblot analysis revealed that our monoclonal antibody against Hsp72 specifically identified the 65 kDa protein. Immunocytochemical staining also revealed that Hsp72 localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and aggregated in the nucleus in response to heat stress. This MAb against Hsp72 will allow for further studies to elucidate the mechanism by which Hsp72 is localized in the cell in response to stress stimuli, and aid in the identification of specific interacting molecules.

Abstract
Different molecular pathways involved in maintaining mitochondrial function are of fundamental importance to control cellular homeostasis. Mitochondrial i-AAA protease is part of such a surveillance system and PaIAP is the putative ortholog in the fungal aging model Podospora anserina. Here we investigated the role of PaIAP in aging and development. Deletion of the gene encoding PaIAP resulted in a specific phenotype. When incubated at 27°C, spore germination and fruiting body formation are not different from that of the corresponding wild-type strain. Unexpectedly, the lifespan of the deletion strain is strongly increased. In contrast, cultivation at an elevated temperature of 37°C leads to impairments in spore germination and fruiting body formation, and to a reduced lifespan. The higher PaIAP abundance in wild-type strains of the fungus grown at elevated temperature and the phenotype of the deletion strain unmasks a temperature-related role of the protein. The protease appears to be part of a molecular system that has evolved to allow survival under changing temperatures as they characteristically occur in nature.

Abstract
This study describes the expression of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) and alpha-basic-crystallin (α-BC) and their association with apoptosis and some related adaptor proteins in the pathogenesis of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV)-induced myocarditis in lambs. HSP70 was generally overexpressed in the myocardial tissues and inflammatory cells of FMDV-induced myocarditis with differential accumulation and localization in same hearts when compared to non-foot-and-mouth disease control hearts. α-BC immunolabeling showed coarse aggregations in the Z line of the cardiomyocytes in FMDV-infected hearts in contrast to control hearts. Overall, the results of this study show that the anti-apoptotic proteins, HSP70 and α-BC, were overexpressed with increased apoptosis in FMDV-infected heart tissues. Both proteins failed to protect the cardiomyocytes from apoptosis as defense mechanisms to the FMDV during the infection, suggesting that the virus is able to increase apoptosis via both downregulation and/or upregulation of these anti-apoptotic proteins.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and associated reactive oxygen species can modify lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, and induce the mitochondrial permeability transition, providing a signal leading to the induction of autophagy, apoptosis, and necrosis. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, a chromatin-binding nuclear protein and damage-associated molecular pattern molecule, is integral to oxidative stress and downstream apoptosis or survival. Accumulation of HMGB1 at sites of oxidative DNA damage can lead to repair of the DNA. As a redox-sensitive protein, HMGB1 contains three cysteines (Cys23, 45, and 106). In the setting of oxidative stress, it can form a Cys23-Cys45 disulfide bond; a role for oxidative homo- or heterodimerization through the Cys106 has been suggested for some of its biologic activities. HMGB1 causes activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase and increased reactive oxygen species production in neutrophils. Reduced and oxidized HMGB1 have different roles in extracellular signaling and regulation of immune responses, mediated by signaling through the receptor for advanced glycation end products and/or Toll-like receptors. Antioxidants such as ethyl pyruvate, quercetin, green tea, N-acetylcysteine, and curcumin are protective in the setting of experimental infection/sepsis and injury including ischemia-reperfusion, partly through attenuating HMGB1 release and systemic accumulation.

Abstract
In the present study, a 71.43 kDa heat shock protein cDNA was cloned from Asiatic hard clam Meretrix meretrix. The cDNA was 2292 bp, containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1959 bp, which encodes a protein of 652 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight of 71.43 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.32. Based on the amino acid sequence analysis and phylogenetic analysis, this hsp70 cDNA is a member of cytoplasmic hsc70 (constitutive genes) subfamily in the hsp70 family, and is designated as MmeHsc71. Quantitative RT-PCR was carried out to compare the spatial and temporal expression patterns of MmeHsc71 in the mRNA level between control clams and Vibrio parahaemolyticus-infected clams. Spatially, MmeHsc71 mRNA was found in all tested tissues, including foot, hepatopancreas, mantle and gill. MmeHsc71 mRNA expression level in hepatopancreas and gill displayed a significant increase in vibrio-challenged clams at 24h post-infection compared to control clams (P < 0.05). Temporally, there was a significant increase of MmeHsc71 mRNA level in hepathopancreas of vibrio-challenged clams compared to control clams at 6, 12, and 24h post-challenge, respectively. The result of quantitative immunofluorescence also indicated that there was obvious increase of MmeHsc71 in hepatopancreas of vibrio-challenged clams compared to control clams in protein level at 24h post-infection. The results suggested that MmeHsc71 may play an important role in mediating the immune responses of M. meretrix to bacterial challenge.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Temozolomide (an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent) and quercetin (natural flavonoid) on cell death in the human astrocytoma cell line MOGGCCM (WHO grade III). Our results indicate that Temozolomide induces autophagy, while quercetin promotes severe necrosis in the cell line in a manner dependent on the drug concentration. We demonstrated for the first time that combinations of both drugs were much more effective in programmed cell death induction in glioma cells. At a low (5muM) drug concentration, quercetin potentiated a pro-autophagic effect of Temozolomide, while after treatment with a higher drug concentration (30muM), autophagy switched to apoptosis. Temozolomide attenuated the toxic effect of quercetin. Apoptosis was mediated by the mitochondrial pathway and the activation of caspase 3 and cytochrome C release, but no changes in caspase 8 expression was observed. It was accompanied by decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibition of Hsp27 and Hsp72 expression. Autophagy was correlated with an increased level of LC3II. Temozolomide and quercetin also inhibited migratory phenotype of MOGGCCM cells and changed the nuclei morphology from a circular to an irregular shape. Our results indicate that quercetin acts in synergy with Temozolomide and when used in combination rather than in separate pharmacological application, both drugs are more effective in programmed cell death induction. Temozolomide administered with quercetin seems to be a potent and promising combination which might be useful in glioma therapy.

Abstract
In the present study, we compared the cell damage response in skeletal and
cardiac muscle tissue when exposed to doxorubicin. This was carried out by means
of a less invasive informative substitute to endomyocardiac biopsy based on
Hsp70 immunodetection and a subcellular analysis of the nucleolus. Male Sprague
Dawley rats (62 g body weight) were randomly distributed into 3 group, the
control and doxorubicin I and doxorubicin II groups, in which 15 and 25 mg/kg
body weight of doxorubicin (0.1 ml, i.v.) was administered, respectively. After
15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, portions of the left and right ventricle wall and
interventricle wall, together with skeletal muscle from the posterior and
anterior member, were prepared for Hsp70 immunodetection by Western blot
analysis and ultrastructural study using the thin cut technique. Differential
cell response between the control and treated groups was observed in Hsp70
immunodetection and at the subcellular level. In the control group, the Hsp70
recognition levels and typical normal nucleolar morphology were similar, while
the treated groups showed variable-dependent Hsp70 recognition and segregation
of nucleolar components, forming ring-like figures of a variable-independent
nature. Comparison of cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue cell response to
doxorubicin toxic aggression revealed parallelism in terms of Hsp70 accumulation
in certain regions of both tissues (15 mg/kg body weight of doxorubicin), which
suggests that replacing endomyocardiac biopsy analysis with skeletal muscle
analysis may be a safe option.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is reported as the main factor responsible for the beneficial effects of glutamine (GLN) and as a negative regulator of high mobility group box protein-1 (HMGB-1) expression. Our aim was to determine whether GLN attenuates acute lung injury (ALI) by the inhibition of HMGB-1 expression during sepsis. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to induce sepsis. GLN or saline was administered through tail vein 1 h after CLP. Then, quercetin (Q), an inhibitor of HSP70, was utilised to assess the role of the enhanced HSP70. We observed the survival of the subjects. At 24 h post-CLP, we measured lung HSP70, phosphorylated heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1-p) and HMGB-1 expressions, NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity and ALI occurrence. We also measured serum HSP70, IL-6 and HMGB-1 concentrations. GLN improved survival during sepsis. In GLN-treated rats, lung HSP70 and HSF-1-p expressions were enhanced, lung HMGB-1 expression and NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity were suppressed, and ALI was attenuated. Furthermore, in GLN-administered rats, serum HSP70 concentration was higher, and serum IL-6 and HMGB-1 concentrations were lower than those in non-treated rats. Q inhibited the enhancement of HSP70 and HSF-1-p expressions and abrogated the GLN-mediated benefits. In conclusion, GLN attenuated ALI and improved survival by the inhibition of HMGB-1 expression during sepsis in rats. These benefits were associated with the enhancement of HSP70 expression by GLN.

Virus-Induced Chaperone-Enriched (VICE) domains function as nuclear protein quality control centers during HSV-1 infection. PLoS Pathog 2009; 5:e1000619. [PMID: 19816571 PMCID: PMC2752995 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1000619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2009] [Accepted: 09/14/2009] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Virus-Induced Chaperone-Enriched (VICE) domains form adjacent to nuclear viral replication compartments (RC) during the early stages of HSV-1 infection. Between 2 and 3 hours post infection at a MOI of 10, host protein quality control machinery such as molecular chaperones (e.g. Hsc70), the 20S proteasome and ubiquitin are reorganized from a diffuse nuclear distribution pattern to sequestration in VICE domains. The observation that VICE domains contain putative misfolded proteins suggests that they may be similar to nuclear inclusion bodies that form under conditions in which the protein quality control machinery is overwhelmed by the presence of misfolded proteins. The detection of Hsc70 in VICE domains, but not in nuclear inclusion bodies, indicates that Hsc70 is specifically reorganized by HSV-1 infection. We hypothesize that HSV-1 infection induces the formation of nuclear protein quality control centers to remodel or degrade aberrant nuclear proteins that would otherwise interfere with productive infection. Detection of proteolytic activity in VICE domains suggests that substrates may be degraded by the 20S proteasome in VICE domains. FRAP analysis reveals that GFP-Hsc70 is dynamically associated with VICE domains, suggesting a role for Hsc70 in scanning the infected nucleus for misfolded proteins. During 42°C heat shock, Hsc70 is redistributed from VICE domains into RC perhaps to remodel viral replication and regulatory proteins that have become insoluble in these compartments. The experiments presented in this paper suggest that VICE domains are nuclear protein quality control centers that are modified by HSV-1 to promote productive infection. Protein quality control is a protective cellular mechanism by which damaged proteins are refolded or degraded so that they cannot interfere with essential cellular processes. In the event that protein quality control machinery cannot refold or degrade damaged proteins, sequestration of misfolded protein is an alternative protective mechanism for reducing the toxic effects of misfolded protein. Several neurological diseases result from the accumulation of toxic misfolded proteins that cannot be efficiently refolded or degraded. In neurons from patients afflicted with Huntington's disease, misfolded huntingtin protein is sequestered in large aggregates in the nucleus called inclusion bodies. Inclusion bodies also contain protein quality control machinery including molecular chaperones, the proteasome and ubiquitin. Here we report that analogous structures called Virus-Induced Chaperone-Enriched (VICE) domains form in the nucleus of cells infected with Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1). VICE domains contain misfolded protein, chaperones and protein degradation activity. VICE domain formation is efficient in infected cells taxed with high levels of viral protein production. We hypothesize that misfolded proteins that arise in HSV-1-infected cells are sequestered in VICE domains to promote remodeling of misfolded proteins.

The spliceosomal phosphopeptide P140 controls the lupus disease by interacting with the HSC70 protein and via a mechanism mediated by gammadelta T cells. PLoS One 2009; 4:e5273.

Abstract
The phosphopeptide P140 issued from the spliceosomal U1-70K snRNP protein is recognized by lupus CD4(+) T cells, transiently abolishes T cell reactivity to other spliceosomal peptides in P140-treated MRL/lpr mice, and ameliorates their clinical features. P140 modulates lupus patients' T cell response ex vivo and is currently included in phase IIb clinical trials. Its underlying mechanism of action remains elusive. Here we show that P140 peptide binds a unique cell-surface receptor, the constitutively-expressed chaperone HSC70 protein, known as a presenting-protein. P140 induces apoptosis of activated MRL/lpr CD4(+) T cells. In P140-treated mice, it increases peripheral blood lymphocyte apoptosis and decreases B cell, activated T cell, and CD4(-)CD8(-)B220(+) T cell counts via a specific mechanism strictly depending on gammadelta T cells. Expression of inflammation-linked genes is rapidly regulated in CD4(+) T cells. This work led us to identify a powerful pathway taken by a newly-designed therapeutic peptide to immunomodulate lupus autoimmunity.

Abstract
The human HSPA2 gene, which belongs to the HSP70 family of heat shock genes, is a counterpart of rodent testis-specific HspA2 gene. Rodent genes are expressed mainly in pachytene spermatocytes, while transcripts of human HSPA2 gene have been detected in various normal somatic tissues, albeit translation of the messenger RNA into corresponding protein has not been yet unambiguously demonstrated, except for several cancer cell lines. The aim of our work, a first step in search for HspA2 function in cancer cells, was to establish its intracellular localization at physiological temperature and during heat shock. First, we used qRT-PCR and a highly specific antibody to select cell lines with the highest expression of the HspA2 protein, which turned out to be A549 and NCI-H1299 lines originating from non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Significant expression of the HspA2 was also detected by immunohistochemistry in primary NSCLC specimens. Intracellular localization of the HspA2 was studied using both the specific anti-HspA2 polyclonal antibody and transfection of cells with fusion proteins HspA2-EGFP and mRFP-HspA2. We found that, at physiological temperature, the HspA2 was localized primarily in cytoplasm whereas, during heat shock, localization shifted to nucleus and nucleoli. Moreover, we demonstrate that in heat-shocked cells HspA2 accumulated in centrosomes. Our results suggest that the HspA2, like Hsp70 protein, can be involved in protecting nucleoli and centrosomes integrity in cancer cells subjected to heat shock and, possibly, other cellular stressors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat preconditioning significantly preserved liver graft function after cold preservation in animal experimental model. The elevation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was claimed to play a critical role in protecting grafts against cold preservation-induced hepatocyte apoptosis. However, little is known about whether HSP70 also plays an immunomodulatory role in cold preserved cells. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between HSP70 protein and the immunoactivity in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. METHODS AND RESULTS A normal rat hepatocyte cell line was preserved with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution, Ringer's lactate solution (RL), and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 4 degrees C. No significant morphological alteration was noted in UW-preserved cells after 24 h through phase-contrast microscopic observation and fluorescent viability stain. Western blotting showed a two-fold increase in the ratio of HSP70/Bax proteins in cells after 24 h of UW preservation. Heat preconditioning significantly enhanced the recovery of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in both RL- and UW-preserved cells that were stored for a period of 12 h or less. Moreover, heat preconditioning promoted HSP70 and NF-kappaB p50 nuclear translocation and suppressed the LPS-induced nuclear p50 accumulation in cells before UW preservation. Immunofluorescent stain revealed that the LPS-induced p50 protein redistribution to nuclear membrane might contribute to NF-kappaB activation, while heat preconditioning and UW cold preservation completely abrogated the p50 intranuclear redistribution. Thus NF-kappaB p50 might be responsible for the endotoxin tolerance induction. CONCLUSIONS These findings strongly suggest that heat preconditioning not only preserves hepatocyte viability after cold preservation and rewarming, but also ameliorates its immunoactivity.

Abstract
In response to inflammatory stimuli (e.g., endotoxin, proinflammatory cytokines) or oxidative stress, macrophages actively release a ubiquitous nuclear protein, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), to sustain an inflammatory response to infection or injury. In this study, we demonstrated mild heat shock (e.g., 42.5 degrees C, 1 h), or enhanced expression of heat shock protein (Hsp) 72 (by gene transfection) similarly rendered macrophages resistant to oxidative stress-induced HMGB1 cytoplasmic translocation and release. In response to oxidative stress, cytoplasmic Hsp72 translocated to the nucleus, where it interacted with nuclear proteins including HMGB1. Genetic deletion of the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) or the peptide binding domain (PBD) from Hsp72 abolished oxidative stress-induced nuclear translocation of Hsp72-DeltaNLS (but not Hsp72-DeltaPBD), and prevented oxidative stress-induced Hsp72-DeltaPBD-HMGB1 interaction in the nucleus. Furthermore, impairment of Hsp72-DeltaNLS nuclear translocation, or Hsp72-DeltaPBD-HMGB1 interaction in the nucleus, abrogated Hsp72-mediated suppression of HMGB1 cytoplasmic translocation and release. Taken together, these experimental data support a novel role for nuclear Hsp72 as a negative regulator of oxidative stress-induced HMGB1 cytoplasmic translocation and release.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play an important role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, particularly in response to stressful conditions that adversely affect normal cellular structure and function, such as hyperthermia. A remarkable intrinsic resistance of brain to hyperthermia reflects protection mediated by constitutive and induced expression of HSPs in both neurons and glia. Induced expression underlies the phenomenon of hyperthermic pre-reconditioning, where transient, low-intensity heating induces HSPs that protect brain from subsequent insult, reflecting the prolonged half-life of HSPs. The expression and activity of HSPs that is characteristic of nervous tissue plays a role not just in the maintenance and defense of cellular viability, but also in the preservation of neuron-specific luxury functions, particularly those that support synaptic activity. In response to hyperthermia, HSPs mediate preservation or rapid recovery of synaptic function up to the point where damage in other organ systems becomes evident and life threatening. Given the ability of HSPs to enhance gene expression by neurotropic viruses, the constitutive and inducible HSP expression profiles would seem to place nervous tissues at risk. However, we present evidence that the virus-HSP relationship can promote viral clearance in animals capable of mounting effective virus-specific cell-mediated immune responses, potentially reflecting HSP-dependent increases in viral antigenic burden, immune adjuvant effects and cross-presentation of viral antigen. Thus, the protective functions of HSPs span the well-characterized intracellular roles as chaperones to those that may directly or indirectly promote immune function.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, lipid storage droplets contain a triacylglycerol and cholesterol ester core surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer into which a number of proteins are imbedded. These proteins are thought to be involved in modulating the formation and metabolic functions of the lipid droplet. In this study, we show that heat stress upregulates several heat shock proteins (Hsps), including Hsp27, Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, and Grp78, in primary and differentiated adipocytes. Immunostaining and immunoblotting data indicate that among the Hsps examined, only Hsp70 is induced to redirect to the lipid droplet surface in heat-stressed adipocytes. The thermal induction of Hsp70 translocation to lipid droplet does not typically happen in a temperature- or time-dependent manner and occurs abruptly at 30-40 min and rapidly achieves a steady state within 60 min after 40 degrees C stress of adipocytes. Though Hsp70 is co-localized with perilipin on the lipid droplets in stressed adipocytes, immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that Hsp70 does not directly interact with perilipin. Alkaline treatments indicate that Hsp70 associates with the droplet surface through non-hydrophobic interactions. We speculate that Hsp70 might noncovalently associate with monolayer microdomains of the lipid droplet in a manner similar to its interaction with lipid bilayer moieties composed of specific fatty acids. As an acute and specific cellular response to the heat stimulation, accumulation of Hsp70 on adipocytes lipid droplets might be involved in stabilizing the droplet monolayer, transferring nascent proteins to the lipid droplets, or chaperoning denatured proteins on the droplet for subsequent refolding.

Abstract
It is well known that some tumour cells are very resistant to chemotherapy-induced cell death which indicate poor prognosis for patients. Thus the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of quercetin on pro-apoptotic activity of cisplatin in human cervix carcinoma cells (HeLa). Three variants of experiments were performed. In the first one cells were incubated with studied drugs separately for 8 and 24h. In the second, drugs were added to the culture medium simultaneously. In third cisplatin or quercetin addition was followed by subsequent quercetin or cisplatin treatment, respectively. We observed different apoptotic effects, dependent on the drug succession. Preincubation of cells with quercetin followed by cisplatin treatment appeared to be the most effective and was correlated with strong activation of caspase-3 and inhibition of both heat shock proteins (Hsp72) and multi-drug resistance proteins (MRP) levels. Our results indicate that quercetin pretreatment sensitizes HeLa cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells.

Abstract
The level and intracellular redistribution of the two nucleo-cytoplasmic members of 70 kDa heat shock protein family (constitutive, Hsc70 or Hsp73, and inducible, Hsp72) were studied in rat liver during a 24-h period after exposure of the animals to 41 degrees C whole body hyperthermic stress. The examined proteins were detected in the liver cytosol and nuclei by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections, as well as by immnocytochemical staining of isolated nuclear smears. All three techniques applied were based on the use of monoclonal antibodies recognizing both constitutive and inducible Hsp70 isoforms or only the inducible isoform, and gave consistent results. The exposure of the animals to in vivo heat stress was shown to induce the synthesis of otherwise non-existing Hsp72, rendering Hsc70 level unchanged in comparison to unstressed controls. However, immediately after the stress the intracellular redistribution of Hsc70, i.e. its nuclear accumulation, was observed. The maximal level of Hsp70 both in the cytoplasm and in the nuclei was registered 5 h after the stress, which coincided with the maximal level of Hsp72 induction. The alterations in the level and intracellular distribution of examined proteins were still noticeable 24 h after the stress. The results of this study could shed some more light on, as yet uncertain, differences between cellular functions of these two proteins, as well as on the role of the constitutive form under normal and stress conditions.

Abstract
To understand hypothermia as a stress condition we determined the expression and localization of Hsp70 under hyperthermic and hypothermic stress in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Western blot analysis indicates that there was a statistically significant increase of Hsp70 expression under thermal stresses. Immunohistochemically, the distribution of inducible Hsp70 in stressed cells showed a granular pattern mostly in the cytoplasm. At subcellular level, Hsp70 was localized in the nucleus, vacuoles, cytoskeletal components and dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. Accumulation of Hsp70 in cells under hypothermia could be related to restitution of cell equilibrium modified by this thermal stress condition. The protective effect of hypothermia could be associated with promotion of Hsp expression. We suggest that hypothermia is a stress capable of inducing Hsp70 expression in human HepG2 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of constitutive and inducible members of the Hsp70 protein family in synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Frozen sections of synovial tissue and isolated synovial adherent cells obtained from 17 RA patients, 5 OA patients, and 1 patient with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) were analyzed with specific monoclonal antibodies, by immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and immunoblotting. RESULTS Expression of the constitutive chaperone Hsc70 was increased in synovial tissue from 9 of 9 patients with RA, but was faint or undetectable in 3 of 3 samples from patients with OA. In RA samples, cells mainly of the synovial lining stained intensely for Hsc70 as well as for HLA-DR, CD14, and CD68. Also, in vitro-cultured synovial adherent cells from 8 of 9 RA patients overexpressed Hsc70 (specimens from 1 RA patient were used in both the immunochemistry and the in vitro culture studies). On immunoblots of protein extracts, the synovial and HeLa cell molecules appeared identical in size. The inducible chaperone Hsp70 was not detected in samples from any of the same 17 RA patients, except for rare, isolated cells in 3. Samples from 4 of 5 OA patients also were negative for the inducible chaperone Hsp70, and the fifth was very weakly positive. In addition, tissue from 1 patient with CTS was analyzed 10 months before diagnosis of RA. Synovial tissue from this patient showed extreme overexpression of both Hsc70 and Hsp70. CONCLUSION In RA, synovial lining cells continuously overexpress Hsc70 but not Hsp70. Hsc70 may be up-regulated due to the high activity of these cells in several respects, including antigen processing and presentation.
