Heat shock response regulates stimulus-specificity and sensitivity of the pro-inflammatory NF-κB signalling. Cell Commun Signal 2020; 18:77.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ability to adapt to temperature changes trough the Heat Shock Response (HSR) pathways is one of the most fundamental and clinically relevant cellular response systems. Heat Shock (HS) affects the signalling and gene expression responses of the Nuclear Factor κB (NF-κB) transcription factor, a critical regulator of proliferation and inflammation, however, our quantitative understanding of how cells sense and adapt to temperature changes is limited. METHODS We used live-cell time-lapse microscopy and mathematical modelling to understand the signalling of the NF-κB system in the human MCF7 breast adenocarcinoma cells in response to pro-inflammatory Interleukin 1β (IL1β) and Tumour Necrosis Factor α (TNFα) cytokines, following exposure to a 37-43 °C range of physiological and clinical temperatures. RESULTS We show that exposure to 43 °C 1 h HS inhibits the immediate NF-κB signalling response to TNFα and IL1β stimulation although uptake of cytokines is not impaired. Within 4 h after HS treatment IL1β-induced NF-κB responses return to normal levels, but the recovery of the TNFα-induced responses is still affected. Using siRNA knock-down of Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) we show that this stimulus-specificity is conferred via the Inhibitory κB kinase (IKK) signalosome where HSF1-dependent feedback regulates TNFα, but not IL1β-mediated IKK recovery post HS. Furthermore, we demonstrate that through the temperature-dependent denaturation and recovery of IKK, TNFα and IL1β-mediated signalling exhibit different temperature sensitivity and adaptation to repeated HS when exposed to a 37-43 °C temperature range. Specifically, IL1β-mediated NF-κB responses are more robust to temperature changes in comparison to those induced by TNFα treatment. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that the kinetics of the NF-κB system following temperature stress is cytokine specific and exhibit differential adaptation to temperature changes. We propose that this differential temperature sensitivity is mediated via the IKK signalosome, which acts as a bona fide temperature sensor trough the HSR cross-talk. This novel quantitative understanding of NF-κB and HSR interactions is fundamentally important for the potential optimization of therapeutic hyperthermia protocols. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze whether heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) be involved in a permanently abnormal activated JAK/STAT signaling in ATL cells in vitro. Methods: The effect of 17-AAG on proliferation of ATL cell lines HUT-102 was assessed using CCK8 at different time points. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. The specific proteins HSP90, STAT5, p-STAT5 and JAK3 were detected by Western blotting. Results: Overexpression of HSP90 in HUT-102 cell lines was disclosed (P<0.05) , and constitutive activation of JAK3/STAT5 signaling was observed in HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines but not in normal PBMCs; Treatment of ATL cell lines with 17-AAG led to reduced cell proliferation, but there was no significant change in terms of cell proliferation when the concentration of 17-AAG between 2 000-8 000 nmol/L (P>0.05) . 17-AAG induced cell apoptosis in different time-points and concentrations. 17-AAG don't affect the expression of JAK3 gene. Conclusion: This study indicated that JAK3 as HSP90 client protein was aberrantly activated in HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines, leading to constitutive activation of p-STAT5 in JAK/STAT signal pathway, which demonstrated that HSP90-inhibitors 17-AAG inhibited the growth of HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines by reducing cell proliferation and inducing cell apoptosis.

Deep Transcriptomic Analysis of Black Rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) Provides New Insights on Responses to Acute Temperature Stress. Sci Rep 2018; 8:9113.

Abstract
In the present study, we conducted an RNA-Seq analysis to characterize the genes and pathways involved in acute thermal and cold stress responses in the liver of black rockfish, a viviparous teleost that has the ability to cope with a wide range of temperature changes. A total of 584 annotated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in all three comparisons (HT vs NT, HT vs LT and LT vs NT). Based on an enrichment analysis, DEGs with a potential role in stress accommodation were classified into several categories, including protein folding, metabolism, immune response, signal transduction, molecule transport, membrane, and cell proliferation/apoptosis. Considering that thermal stress has a greater effect than cold stress in black rockfish, 24 shared DEGs in the intersection of the HT vs LT and HT vs NT groups were enriched in 2 oxidation-related gene ontology (GO) terms. Nine important heat-stress-reducing pathways were significantly identified and classified into 3 classes: immune and infectious diseases, organismal immune system and endocrine system. Eight DEGs (early growth response protein 1, bile salt export pump, abcb11, hsp70a, rtp3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin d(3) 24-hydroxylase, apoa4, transcription factor jun-b-like and an uncharacterized gene) were observed among all three comparisons, strongly implying their potentially important roles in temperature stress responses.

Quantitative analysis reveals crosstalk mechanisms of heat shock-induced attenuation of NF-κB signaling at the single cell level. PLoS Comput Biol 2018; 14:e1006130. [PMID: 29708974 PMCID: PMC5945226 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2018] [Revised: 05/10/2018] [Accepted: 04/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Elevated temperature induces the heat shock (HS) response, which modulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, the immune and inflammatory responses. However, specific mechanisms linking the HS response pathways to major cellular signaling systems are not fully understood. Here we used integrated computational and experimental approaches to quantitatively analyze the crosstalk mechanisms between the HS-response and a master regulator of inflammation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis the Nuclear Factor κB (NF-κB) system. We found that populations of human osteosarcoma cells, exposed to a clinically relevant 43°C HS had an attenuated NF-κB p65 response to Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNFα) treatment. The degree of inhibition of the NF-κB response depended on the HS exposure time. Mathematical modeling of single cells indicated that individual crosstalk mechanisms differentially encode HS-mediated NF-κB responses while being consistent with the observed population-level responses. In particular "all-or-nothing" encoding mechanisms were involved in the HS-dependent regulation of the IKK activity and IκBα phosphorylation, while others involving transport were "analogue". In order to discriminate between these mechanisms, we used live-cell imaging of nuclear translocations of the NF-κB p65 subunit. The single cell responses exhibited "all-or-nothing" encoding. While most cells did not respond to TNFα stimulation after a 60 min HS, 27% showed responses similar to those not receiving HS. We further demonstrated experimentally and theoretically that the predicted inhibition of IKK activity was consistent with the observed HS-dependent depletion of the IKKα and IKKβ subunits in whole cell lysates. However, a combination of "all-or-nothing" crosstalk mechanisms was required to completely recapitulate the single cell data. We postulate therefore that the heterogeneity of the single cell responses might be explained by the cell-intrinsic variability of HS-modulated IKK signaling. In summary, we show that high temperature modulates NF-κB responses in single cells in a complex and unintuitive manner, which needs to be considered in hyperthermia-based treatment strategies.

Abstract
Low-power laser irradiation of red light has been recognized as a promising tool across a vast variety of biomedical applications. However, deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind laser-induced cellular effects remains a significant challenge. Here, we investigated mechanisms involved in the death process in human hepatic cell line Huh7 at a laser irradiation. We decoupled distinct cell death pathways targeted by laser irradiations of different powers. Our data demonstrate that high dose laser irradiation exhibited the highest levels of total reactive oxygen species production, leading to cyclophilin D-related necrosis via the mitochondrial permeability transition. On the contrary, low dose laser irradiation resulted in the nuclear accumulation of superoxide and apoptosis execution. Our findings offer a novel insight into laser-induced cellular responses, and reveal distinct cell death pathways triggered by laser irradiation. The observed link between mitochondria depolarization and triggering ROS could be a fundamental phenomenon in laser-induced cellular responses.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) establishes transcriptionally silent latent infections in resting memory T cells and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which allows the virus to persist in infected individuals despite antiretroviral therapy. Developing in vitro models of HIV-1 latency that recapitulate the characteristics of latently infected cells in vivo is crucial to identifying and developing effective latency-reversing therapies. HSPCs exist in a quiescent state in vivo, and quiescence is correlated with latent infections in T cells. However, current models for culturing HSPCs and for infecting T cells in vitro require that the cells be maintained in an actively proliferating state. Here we describe a novel culture system in which primary human HSPCs cultured under hypothermic conditions are maintained in a quiescent state. We show that these quiescent HSPCs are susceptible to predominantly latent infection with HIV-1, while actively proliferating and differentiating HSPCs obtain predominantly active infections. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the most primitive quiescent HSPCs are more resistant to spontaneous reactivation from latency than more differentiated HSPCs and that quiescent HSPCs are resistant to reactivation by histone deacetylase inhibitors or P-TEFb activation but are susceptible to reactivation by protein kinase C (PKC) agonists. We also demonstrate that inhibition of HSP90, a known regulator of HIV transcription, recapitulates the quiescence and latency phenotypes of hypothermia, suggesting that hypothermia and HSP90 inhibition may regulate these processes by similar mechanisms. In summary, these studies describe a novel model for studying HIV-1 latency in human primary cells maintained in a quiescent state.IMPORTANCE Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) establishes a persistent infection for which there remains no feasible cure. Current approaches are unable to clear the virus despite decades of therapy due to the existence of latent reservoirs of integrated HIV-1, which can reactivate and contribute to viral rebound following treatment interruption. Previous clinical attempts to reactivate the latent reservoirs in an individual so that they can be eliminated by the immune response or viral cytopathic effect have failed, indicating the need for a better understanding of the processes regulating HIV-1 latency. Here we characterize a novel in vitro model of HIV-1 latency in primary hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells isolated from human cord blood that may better recapitulate the behavior of latently infected cells in vivo This model can be used to study mechanisms regulating latency and potential therapeutic approaches to reactivate latent infections in quiescent cells.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that is involved in the activation of disparate client proteins. This implicates Hsp90 in diverse biological processes that require a variety of co-ordinated regulatory mechanisms to control its activity. Perhaps the most important regulator is heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), which is primarily responsible for upregulating Hsp90 by binding heat shock elements (HSEs) within Hsp90 promoters. HSF1 is itself subject to a variety of regulatory processes and can directly respond to stress. HSF1 also interacts with a variety of transcriptional factors that help integrate biological signals, which in turn regulate Hsp90 appropriately. Because of the diverse clientele of Hsp90 a whole variety of co-chaperones also regulate its activity and some are directly responsible for delivery of client protein. Consequently, co-chaperones themselves, like Hsp90, are also subject to regulatory mechanisms such as post translational modification. This review, looks at the many different levels by which Hsp90 activity is ultimately regulated.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mediates sterile inflammation following renal IRI. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibition is a potential strategy to reduce IRI, and AT13387 is a novel Hsp90 inhibitor with low toxicity. This study assessed if pre-treatment with AT13387 could reduce renal IRI and established if the mechanism of protection involved a reduction in inflammatory signalling. Mice were pre-treated with AT13387 prior to renal IRI. 24 h later, renal function was determined by serum creatinine, kidney damage by tubular necrosis score, renal TLR4 expression by PCR and inflammation by cytokine array. In vitro, human embryonic kidney cells were co-transfected to express TLR4 and a secreted alkaline phosphatase NF-κB reporter. Cells were pre-treated with AT13387 and exposed to endotoxin-free hyaluronan to stimulate sterile TLR4-specific NF-κB inflammatory activation. Following renal IRI, AT13387 significantly reduced serum creatinine, tubular necrosis, TLR4 expression and NF-κB-dependent chemokines. In vitro, AT13387-treatment resulted in breakdown of IκB kinase, which abolished TLR4-mediated NF-κB activation by hyaluronan. AT13387 is a new agent with translational potential that reduces renal IRI. The mechanism of protection may involve breakdown of IκB kinase and repression of TLR4-mediated NF-κB inflammatory activity.

Abstract
HIV-1 replication has been intensively investigated over the past 30 years. Hsp90 is one of the most abundant proteins in human cells, important in the formation and function of several protein complexes that maintain cell homeostasis. Remarkably, the impact of Hsp90 on HIV-1 infection has started to be appreciated only recently. Hsp90 has been shown to (a) promote HIV-1 gene expression in acutely infected cells, (b) localize at the viral promoter DNA, (c) mediate enhanced replication in conditions of hyperthermia and (d) activate the P-TEFb complex, which is essential for efficient HIV-1 transcription. Hsp90 has been implicated in buffering deleterious mutations of the viral core and in the regulation of innate and acquired immune responses to HIV-1 infection. Therefore, Hsp90 is an important host factor promoting several steps of the HIV-1 life cycle. Several small Hsp90 inhibitors are in Phase II clinical trials for human cancers and might potentially be used to inhibit HIV-1 infection at multiple levels.

Abstract
Endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) is the predominant isoform that generates NO in the blood vessels. Many different regulators, including heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), govern eNOS function. Hsp90-dependent phosphorylation of eNOS is a critical event that determines eNOS activity. In our earlier study we demonstrated an inhibitor-κB kinase-β (IKKβ)-Hsp90 interaction in a high-glucose environment. In the present study we further define the putative binding domain of IKKβ on Hsp90. Interestingly, IKKβ binds to the middle domain of Hsp90, which has been shown to interact with eNOS to stimulate its activity. This new finding suggests a tighter regulation of eNOS activity than was previously assumed. Furthermore, addition of purified recombinant IKKβ to the eNOS-Hsp90 complex reduces the eNOS-Hsp90 interaction and eNOS activity, indicating a competition for Hsp90 between eNOS and IKKβ. The pathophysiological relevance of the IKKβ-Hsp90 interaction has also been demonstrated using in vitro vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated signaling and an Ins2(Akita) in vivo model. Our study further defines the preferential involvement of α- vs. β-isoforms of Hsp90 in the IKKβ-eNOS-Hsp90 interaction, even though both Hsp90α and Hsp90β stimulate NO production. These studies not only reinforce the significance of maintaining a homeostatic balance of eNOS and IKKβ within the cell system that regulates NO production, but they also confirm that the IKKβ-Hsp90 interaction is favored in a high-glucose environment, leading to impairment of the eNOS-Hsp90 interaction, which contributes to endothelial dysfunction and vascular complications in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The heat-shock response (HSR) protects from insults, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, by inhibiting signaling pathways activated by sterile inflammation. However, the mechanisms by which the HSR activation would modulate lung damage and host response to a bacterial lung infection remain unknown. METHODS HSR was activated with whole-body hyperthermia or by intraperitoneal geldanamycin in mice that had their lungs instilled with Pseudomonas aeruginosa 24 h later (at least six mice per experimental group). Four hours after instillation, lung endothelial and epithelial permeability, bacterial counts, protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and lung myeloperoxidase activity were measured. Mortality rate 24 h after P. aeruginosa instillation was recorded. The HSR effect on the release of interleukin-10 and killing of P. aeruginosa bacteria by a mouse alveolar macrophage cell line and on neutrophil phagocytosis was also examined. RESULTS HSR activation worsened lung endothelial (42%) and epithelial permeability (50%) to protein, decreased lung bacterial clearance (71%), and increased mortality (50%) associated with P. aeruginosa pneumonia, an effect that was not observed in heat-shock protein-72-null mice. HSR-mediated decrease in neutrophil phagocytosis (69%) and bacterial killing (38%) by macrophages was interleukin-10 dependent, a mechanism confirmed by increased lung bacterial clearance and decreased mortality (70%) caused by P. aeruginosa pneumonia in heat-shocked interleukin-10-null mice. CONCLUSIONS Prior HSR activation worsens lung injury associated with P. aeruginosa pneumonia in mice via heat-shock protein-72- and interleukin-10-dependent mechanisms. These results provide a novel mechanism for the immunosuppression observed after severe trauma that is known to activate HSR in humans.

Abstract
Many receptors involved with innate immunity activate the inhibitor kappa B kinase signalosome
(IKK). The active complex appears to be assembled from the two kinase units,
IKKα and IKKβ with the regulatory protein NEMO.
Because we previously found that RNA silencing of clathrin heavy chains (CHC), in transformed human
lung pneumocytes (A549), decreased TNFα‐induced signaling and
phosphorylation of inhibitor kappa B (IκB), we hypothesized that CHC forms
cytoplasmic complexes with members of the IKK signalosome. Widely available antibodies were used to
immunoprecipitate IKKα and NEMO interactomes. Analysis of the affinity
interactomes by mass spectrometry detected clathrin with both baits with high confidence. Using the
same antibodies for indirect digital immunofluorescence microscopy and FRET, the CHC–IKK
complexes were visualized together with NEMO or HSP90. The natural variability of protein amounts in
unsynchronized A549 cells was used to obtain statistical correlation for several complexes, at
natural levels and without invasive labeling. Analyses of voxel numbers indicated that: (i)
CHC–IKK complexes are not part of the IKK signalosome itself but, likely, precursors of
IKK–NEMO complexes. (ii) CHC–IKKβ complexes may arise from
IKKβ–HSP90 complexes. Clathrin forms complexes with IKKa, IKKb, and NEMO, but apparently not the canonical signalosome.
These complexes are identified, for the first time, by affinity proteomics and triple FRET without
altering molecular structure.

Abstract
In 1994 the first heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor was identified and Hsp90 was reported to be a target for anticancer therapeutics. In the past 18 years there have been 17 distinct Hsp90 inhibitors entered into clinical trial, and the small molecule Hsp90 inhibitors have been highly valuable as probes of the role of Hsp90 and its client proteins in cancer. Although no Hsp90 inhibitor has achieved regulatory approval, recently there has been significant progress in Hsp90 inhibitor clinical development, and in the past year RECIST responses have been documented in HER2-positive breast cancer and EML4-ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. All of the clinical Hsp90 inhibitors studied to date are specific in their target, i.e. they bind exclusively to Hsp90 and two related heat shock proteins. However, Hsp90 inhibitors are markedly pleiotropic, causing degradation of over 200 client proteins and impacting critical multiprotein complexes. Furthermore, it has only recently been appreciated that Hsp90 inhibitors can, paradoxically, cause transient activation of the protein kinase clients they are chaperoning, resulting in initiation of signal transduction and significant physiological events in both tumor and tumor microenvironment. An additional area of recent progress in Hsp90 research is in studies of the posttranslational modifications of Hsp90 itself and Hsp90 co-chaperone proteins. Together, a picture is emerging in which the impact of Hsp90 inhibitors is shaped by the tumor intracellular and extracellular milieu, and in which Hsp90 inhibitors impact tumor and host on a microenvironmental and systems level. Here we review the tumor intrinsic and extrinsic factors that impact the efficacy of small molecules engaging the Hsp90 chaperone machine.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by hypoxia, which is caused by the breakdown of the alveolar capillary barrier. Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), a cytokine released within the airspace in ALI, downregulates the α subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (αENaC) transcription and protein expression via p38 MAP kinase-dependent signaling. Although induction of the heat shock response can restore alveolar fluid clearance compromised by IL-1β following the onset of severe hemorrhagic shock in rats, the mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we report that the induction of the heat shock response prevents IL-1β-dependent inhibition of αENaC mRNA expression and subsequent channel function. Heat shock results in IRAK1 detergent insolubility and a disruption of Hsp90 binding to IRAK1. Likewise, TAK1, another client protein of Hsp90 and signaling component of the IL-1β pathway, is also detergent insoluble after heat shock. Twenty-four hours after heat shock, both IRAK1 and TAK1 are again detergent soluble, which correlates with the IL-1β-dependent p38 activation. Remarkably, IL-1β-dependent p38 activation 24 h after heat shock did not result in an inhibition of αENaC mRNA expression and channel function. Further analysis demonstrates prolonged preservation of αENaC expression by the activation of the heat shock response that involves inducible Hsp70. Inhibition of Hsp70 at 24 h after heat shock results in p38-dependent IL-1β inhibition of αENaC mRNA expression, whereas overexpression of Hsp70 attenuates the p38-dependent IL-1β inhibition of αENaC mRNA expression. These studies demonstrate new mechanisms by which the induction of the heat shock response protects the barrier function of the alveolar epithelium in ALI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kidney transplantation is the gold standard treatment for end-stage renal disease. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable consequence of the transplantation procedure and is responsible for delayed graft function and poorer long-term outcomes. AREAS COVERED Pharmacological induction of heat shock protein (Hsp) expression is an emerging pre-conditioning strategy aimed at reducing IRI following renal transplantation. Hsp90 inhibition up-regulates protective Hsps (especially Hsp70) and potentially down-regulates NF-κB by disruption of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex. However, the clinical application of Hsp90 inhibitors is currently limited by their toxicity profile and the exact mechanism of protection conferred is unknown. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a further regulator of NF-κB and recent studies suggest TLR4 plays a dominant role in mediating kidney damage following IRI. The full interaction of Hsps with TLRs is yet to be delineated and whether TLR4 signalling can be targeted by Hsp90 inhibition in IRI remains uncertain. EXPERT OPINION Pharmacological pre-conditioning by Hsp90 inhibition involves direct treatment to the kidney donor and/or organ, which aims to reduce injury prior to the onset of ischemia. The major challenges going forward are to establish the exact mechanism of protection offered by these drugs and the investgiation of less toxic analogues that could be safely translated into human studies.

Abstract
The NF-κB signaling system and the autophagic degradation pathway are crucial cellular survival mechanisms, both being well conserved during evolution. Emerging studies have indicated that the IKK/NF-κB signaling axis regulates autophagy in a context-dependent manner. IKK complex and NF-κB can enhance the expression of Beclin 1 and other autophagy-related proteins and stimulate autophagy whereas as a feedback response, autophagy can degrade IKK components. Moreover, NF-κB signaling activates the expression of autophagy inhibitors (e.g., A20 and Bcl-2/xL) and represses the activators of autophagy (BNIP3, JNK1, and ROS). Several studies have indicated that NF-κB signaling is enhanced both during aging and cellular senescence, inducing a proinflammatory phenotype. The aging process is also associated with a decline in autophagic degradation. It seems that the activity of Beclin 1 initiation complex could be impaired with aging, since the expression of Beclin 1 decreases as does the activity of type III PI3K. On the other hand, the expression of inhibitory Bcl-2/xL proteins increases with aging. We will review the recent literature on the control mechanisms of autophagy through IKK/NF-κB signaling and emphasize that NF-κB signaling could be a potent repressor of autophagy with ageing.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), one of the most abundant proteins in the cardiac cells is essential for cell survival. Previous studies have shown that angiotensin II induces cardiac cell hypertrophy. However, the role of HSP90 in the angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy is unclear. In this study, we showed that HSP90 regulated angiotensin II-induced hypertrophy via maintenance of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex stability in cardiac cells. An HSP90 inhibitor, geldanamycin (GA), significantly suppressed angiotensin II-induced [³H]leucine incorporation and atrial natriuretic factor expression in cardiac cells. GA also inhibited the NF-κB activation induced by angiotensin II. Importantly, treatment with GA caused a degradation of IKKα/β; on the other hand, a proteasome-specific inhibitor restored the level of IKKα/β. We also found that GA prevented HSP90-IKKs complex induced by angiotensin II in cardiac cells. The small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of HSP90 expression significantly inhibited angiotensin II-induced cell hypertrophy and NF-κB activation. These results suggest that angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy requires HSP90 that regulates the stability and complex of IKK.

Abstract
It has been reported by us and other groups that the expression of small GTP binding protein RhoB can be induced by genotoxic stressors and glucocorticoid (GC), a stress hormone that plays a key role in stress response. Until now stress-induced genes that confer cytoprotection under stressed conditions are largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanism of non-genotoxic stressors, including scalding in vivo and heat stress in vitro on the expression of RhoB. We found for the first time that both scalding, which could induce typical neuroendocrine responses of acute stress and cellular heat stress significantly increased the expression of RhoB at mRNA and protein levels. Moreover, in vitro experiments in human lung epithelial cells (A549) showed that induction of RhoB by heat stress was in a glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-independent manner and through multiple pathways including stabilization of RhoB mRNA and activation of p38 MAPK. Further experiments demonstrated that up-regulation of RhoB significantly inhibited heat stress-induced apoptosis and elevated transcriptional activity of NF-κB, but did not affect the expression of Hsp70 in A549 cells. In conclusion, we showed for the first time that RhoB was up-regulated by scalding in vivo and heat stress in vitro and played an important cytoprotective role during heat stress-induced apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Molecular studies in model organisms have identified potent longevity genes which can delay the aging process and extend the lifespan. Longevity factors promote stress resistance and cellular survival. It seems that the aging process itself is not genetically programmed but a random process involving the loss of molecular fidelity and subsequent accumulation of waste products. This age-related increase in cellular entropy is compatible with the disposable soma theory of aging. A large array of host defence systems has been linked to the NF-kappaB system which is an ancient signaling pathway specialized to host defence, e.g. functioning in immune system. Emerging evidence demonstrates that the NF-kappaB system is activated during aging. Oxidative stress and DNA damage increase with aging and elicit a sustained activation of the NF-kappaB system which has negative consequences, e.g. chronic inflammatory response, increase in apoptotic resistance, decline in autophagic cleansing, and tissue atrophy, i.e. processes that enhance the aging process. We will discuss the role of NF-kappaB system in the pro-aging signaling and will emphasize that several longevity factors seem to be inhibitors of NF-kappaB signaling and in that way they can suppress the NF-kappaB-driven entropic host defence catastrophe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Alveolar fluid clearance is impaired by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)/nitric oxide (NO)-dependent mechanisms in acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The activation of the stress protein response (SPR) in alveolar macrophages on iNOS-dependent NO production in response to interferon gamma (IFNgamma), a major cytokine present in the airspace of patients with ALI, was investigated. METHODS The SPR was activated in murine and primary human alveolar macrophages prior to analysis of signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 1 (STAT1) activation, iNOS mRNA and protein synthesis, and NO production. RESULTS SPR activation resulted in inhibition of IFNgamma-mediated NO production (p=0.001) with >95% detergent insolubilisation of the STAT1 protein. Its subsequent proteasomal degradation was partially reversed with pretreatment of cells with the chemical chaperone glycerol. This early effect of the SPR was caused by the complete disruption of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)-STAT1 binding, as shown by immunoprecipitation. Recovery of STAT1 activation and recovery of iNOS synthesis occurred within 12 h after SPR activation (p=0.02). NO production (as compared with non-SPR controls) did not occur until 48 h later (p=0.02). SPR-induced Hsp70 (Hsp70i) expression caused a late inhibition of NO production (p=0.02). Inhibiting >50% Hsp70i expression recovered NO production to control levels whereas overexpressing Hsp70i in the absence of the SPR inhibited NO production (p=0.02). CONCLUSION Early inhibition of STAT1 following its dissociation from Hsp90, and later inhibition of iNOS activity by Hsp70i, represent novel mechanisms by which SPR activation modulates the IFNgamma signalling in alveolar macrophages. These results highlight a potential clinical application for Hsp90 inhibitors in modulating NO signalling during the early phase of acute lung injury.

Abstract
The 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) has become a validated target for the development of anti-cancer agents. Several Hsp90 inhibitors are currently under clinical trial investigation for the treatment of cancer. All of these agents inhibit Hsp90's protein folding activity by binding to the N-terminal ATP binding site of the Hsp90 molecular chaperone. Administration of these investigational drugs elicits induction of the heat shock response, or the overexpression of several Hsps, which exhibit antiapoptotic and pro-survival effects that may complicate the application of these inhibitors. To circumvent this issue, alternate mechanisms for Hsp90 inhibition that do not elicit the heat shock response have been identified and pursued. After providing background on the structure, function, and mechanism of the Hsp90 protein folding machinery, this review describes several mechanisms of Hsp90 modulation via small molecules that do not induce the heat shock response.

Abstract
We previously showed that exposure to febrile-range temperatures (FRT, 39.5-40 degrees C) reduces LPS-induced TNF-alpha expression, in part through the direct interaction of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) with the TNF-alpha gene promoter. However, it is not known whether exposure to FRT also modifies more proximal LPS-induced signaling events. Using HSF1-null mice, we confirmed that HSF1 is required for FRT-induced repression of TNF-alpha in vitro by LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages and in vivo in mice challenged intratracheally with LPS. Exposing LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages to FRT reduced TNF-alpha expression while increasing IL-1beta expression despite the two genes sharing a common myeloid differentiation protein-88 (MyD88)-dependent pathway. Global activation of the three LPS-induced signaling intermediates that lead to cytokine gene expression, ERK and p38 MAPKs and NF-kappaB, was not affected by exposing RAW 264.7 cells to FRT as assessed by ERK and p38 phosphorylation and NF-kappaB in vitro DNA-binding activity and activation of a NF-kappaB-dependent synthetic promoter. However, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis demonstrated that exposure to FRT reduced LPS-induced recruitment of NF-kappaB p65 to the TNF-alpha promoter while simultaneously increasing its recruitment to the IL-1beta promoter. These data suggest that FRT exerts its effects on cytokine gene expression in a gene-specific manner through distal effects on promoter activation rather than proximal receptor activation and signal transduction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to determine whether the heat-induced formation of gamma-H2AX foci is involved in hyperthermic cell killing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The heat-induced gamma-H2AX response was determined in cells exhibiting various degrees of heat sensitivity. The panel of cells tested included cells that are transiently thermotolerant, permanently heat resistant, permanently heat sensitive, and permanently resistant to oxidative stress. Cells exposed to non-thermal environmental conditions that lead to protection from, or sensitization to, heat were also tested. The heat sensitivity of cells in which H2AX was knocked out was also ascertained. RESULTS The protein synthesis independent state of thermotolerance, but not the protein synthesis dependent state of thermotolerance, was found to be involved in the attenuation of the gamma-H2AX response in thermotolerant cells. The initial magnitude of the gamma-H2AX response was found to be the same in all cell lines with altered heat sensitivity. Furthermore, no differences in the resolution of gamma-H2AX foci were found among the cell lines tested. We also found that H2AX knock-out cells were not more heat sensitive. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the heat-induced gamma-H2AX response does not play a role in heat-induced cell killing, thereby adding further evidence that the heat-induced gamma-H2AX foci are not due to DNA double strand breaks.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 25/27 (Hsp25/27) is a cytoprotective protein that is ubiquitously expressed in most cells, and is up-regulated in response to cellular stress. Previous work, in nonmuscle cells, has shown that Hsp27 inhibits TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation. During skeletal muscle disuse, Hsp25/27 levels are decreased and NF-kappaB activity increased, and this increase in NF-kappaB activity is required for disuse muscle atrophy. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to determine whether electrotransfer of Hsp27 into the soleus muscle of rats, prior to skeletal muscle disuse, is sufficient to inhibit skeletal muscle disuse atrophy and NF-kappaB activation. The 35% disuse muscle-fiber atrophy observed in nontransfected fibers was attenuated by 50% in fibers transfected with Hsp27. Hsp27 also inhibited the disuse-induced increase in MuRF1 and atrogin-1 transcription by 82 and 40%, respectively. Furthermore, disuse- and IKKbeta-induced NF-kappaB transactivation were abolished by Hsp27. In contrast, Hsp27 had no effect on Foxo transactivation. In conclusion, Hsp27 is a negative regulator of NF-kappaB in skeletal muscle, in vivo, and is sufficient to inhibit MuRF1 and atrogin-1 and attenuate skeletal muscle disuse atrophy.

Abstract
Background During the process of metastasis, cells are subjected to various apoptotic stimuli. Aberrant expression of apoptotic regulators often contribute to cell metastasis. Heat shock protein 27(HSP27) is confirmed as an apoptosis regulator, but its antiapoptotic mechanism in metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells remains unclear. Methods Levels of HSP27 protein and its phosphorylation in Hep3B, MHCC97L to MHCC97H cells with different metastatic potentials were determined by western blot analysis. MHCC97H cells were transfected with specific small interference RNA (siRNA) against HSP27. The in vitro migration and invasion potentials of cells were evaluated by Transwell assay. The apoptosis ratio of MHCC97H cells was analyzed by TUNEL staining and Flow Cytometry. Alteration of signal transduction pathway after HSP27 knockdown in MHCC97H cells was evaluated through a Human Q Series Signal Transduction in Cancer Gene Array analysis. Nuclear NF-κB contentration and endogenous IKK activity were demonstrated by ELISA assay. The association of IKKα, IKKβ, IκBα with HSP27 and the association between IKKβ and IKKα in MHCC97H cells were determined by co-immunoprecipitation assay followed by western blot analysis. Results HSP27 protein and its phosphorylation increased in parallel with enhanced metastatic potentials of HCC cells. siRNA-mediated HSP27 knockdown in MHCC97H significantly suppressed cells migration and invasion in vitro and induced cell apoptosis; the prominently altered signal transduction pathway was NF-κB pathway after HSP27 knockdown in MHCC97H cells. Furthermore, inhibition of HSP27 expression led to a significant decrease of nuclear NF-κB contentration and endogenous IKK activity. In addition, HSP27 was associated with IKKα, IKKβ, IκBα in three HCC cells above. ELISA assay and western blot analysis also showed a decrease of the association between IKKβ and IKKα, the association between phosphor-HSP27 and IKK complex, and an increase of total IκBα but reducing tendency of phosphor-IκBα when HSP27 expression was efficiently knocked down in MHCC97H cells. Conclusion Altogether, these findings revealed a possible effect of HSP27 on apoptosis in metastatic HCC cells, in which HSP27 may regulate NF-kB pathway activation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of SNX-7081, a novel small molecule inhibitor of Hsp90, to block components of inflammation, including cytokine production, protein kinase activity, and angiogenic signaling. A close analog was evaluated in preclinical in vivo models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS SNX-7081 binding to Hsp90 was characterized in Jurkat cells and RA synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). Inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation was evaluated in cellular systems, using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor alpha, or interleukin-1beta stimulation. Suppression of cytokine production in THP-1 cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and RASFs was studied. Disruption of MAPK signaling cascades by SNX-7081 following growth factor stimulation was assessed. SNX-7081 was tested in 2 relevant angiogenesis assays: platelet-derived growth factor activation of fibroblasts and LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) release in J774 macrophages. A close analog, SNX-4414, was evaluated in rat collagen-induced arthritis and adjuvant-induced arthritis, following oral treatment. RESULTS SNX-7081 showed strong binding affinity to Hsp90 and expected induction of Hsp70. NF-kappaB nuclear translocation was blocked by SNX-7081 at nanomolar concentrations, and cytokine production was potently inhibited. Growth factor activation of ERK and JNK signaling was significantly reduced by SNX-7081. NO production was also sharply inhibited. In animal models, SNX-4414 fully inhibited paw swelling and improved body weight. Scores for inflammation, pannus formation, cartilage damage, and bone resorption returned to normal. CONCLUSION The present results demonstrate that a small molecule Hsp90 inhibitor can impact inflammatory disease processes. The strong in vivo efficacy observed with SNX-4414 provides preclinical validation for consideration of Hsp90 inhibitors in the treatment of RA.

Alcohol exposure regulates heat shock transcription factor binding and heat shock proteins 70 and 90 in monocytes and macrophages: implication for TNF-alpha regulation. J Leukoc Biol 2008; 84:1335-45.

Abstract
Immunomodulatory effects of alcohol use involve regulation of innate immune cell function leading to liver disease. Alteration of inflammatory responses by alcohol is linked to dysregulated TNF-alpha production. Alcohol-induced oxidative stress also contributes to alterations in inflammatory cell activity. Heat shock proteins (hsps) and the heat shock transcription factor-1 (HSF-1) induced by oxidative stress regulate NF-kappaB activation and TNF-alpha gene expression in monocytes and macrophages. Here, we report that in vitro alcohol treatment induced and augmented LPS-induced HSF-1 nuclear translocation and DNA-binding activity in monocytes and macrophages. Supershift analysis revealed that alcohol regulated HSF-1- and not HSF-2-binding activity. Hsp70, a target gene induced by HSF-1, was transiently increased within 24 h by alcohol, but extended alcohol exposure decreased hsp70 in macrophages. The alcohol-induced alteration of hsp70 correlated with a concomitant change in hsp70 promoter activity. Hsp90, another HSF-1 target gene, was decreased during short-term alcohol but increased after prolonged alcohol exposure. Decreased hsp90-HSF-1 complexes after short-term alcohol indicated dissociation of HSF-1 from hsp90. On the other hand, hsp90 interacted with client protein IkappaB kinase beta, a signaling intermediate of the LPS pathway, followed by IkappaBalpha degradation and increased NF-kappaB activity after chronic alcohol exposure, indicating that hsp90 plays an important role in supporting inflammatory cytokine production. Inhibition of hsp90 using geldanamycin prevented prolonged alcohol-induced elevation in LPS-induced NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha production. These results suggest that alcohol exposure differentially regulates hsp70 and hsp90 via HSF-1 activation. Further, hsp90 regulates TNF-alpha production in macrophages contributing to alcohol-induced inflammation.

Abstract
A decline in the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) that causes endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of diabetes. The availability of NO to the vasculature is regulated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and the involvement of heat shock protein-90 (Hsp-90) in the regulation of eNOS activity has been demonstrated. Hsp-90 has been shown to interact with upstream kinases [inhibitor kappaB kinases (IKK)alpha, beta, and gamma] in nonvascular cells. In this study, we have investigated the interaction of Hsp-90-IKKbeta in endothelial cells under conditions of high glucose (HG) as a possible mechanism that diminishes Hsp-90-eNOS interaction, which could contribute to reduced bioavailability of NO. We report for the first time that IKKbeta interacts with Hsp-90, and this interaction is augmented by HG in vascular endothelial cells. HG also augments transcriptional (3.5 +/- 0.65-fold) and translational (1.97 +/- 0.17-fold) expression as well as the catalytic activity of IKKbeta (2.45 +/- 0.4-fold). Both IKKbeta and eNOS could be coimmunoprecipitated with Hsp-90. Inhibition of Hsp-90 with geldanamycin (2 microM) or Radicicol (20 microM) mitigated (0.45 +/- 0.04-fold and 0.93 +/- 0.16-fold, respectively) HG induced-IKKbeta activity (2.5 +/- 0.42-fold). Blocking of IKKbeta expression by IKK inhibitor II (15 microM wedelolactone) or small interferring RNA (siRNA) improved Hsp-90-eNOS interaction and NO production under conditions of HG. These results illuminate a possible mechanism for the declining eNOS activity reported under conditions of HG.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe pneumonia associated with airspace flooding with protein-rich edema in critically ill patients. The type III secretion system is a major virulence factor and contributes to dissemination of P. aeruginosa. However, it is still unknown which particular bacterial toxin and which cellular pathways are responsible for the increase in lung endothelial permeability induced by P. aeruginosa. Thus, the first objective of this study was to determine the mechanisms by which this species causes an increase in lung endothelial permeability. The results showed that ExoS and ExoT, two of the four known P. aeruginosa type III cytotoxins, were primarily responsible for bacterium-induced increases in protein permeability across the lung endothelium via an inhibition of Rac1 and an activation of the RhoA signaling pathway. In addition, inhibition of the alphavbeta5 integrin, a central regulator of lung vascular permeability, prevented these P. aeruginosa-mediated increases in albumin flux due to endothelial permeability. Finally, prior activation of the stress protein response or adenoviral gene transfer of the inducible heat shock protein Hsp72 also inhibited the damaging effects of P. aeruginosa on the barrier function of lung endothelium. Taken together, these results demonstrate the critical role of the RhoA/alphavbeta5 integrin pathway in mediating P. aeruginosa-induced lung vascular permeability. In addition, activation of the stress protein response with pharmacologic inhibitors of Hsp90 may protect lungs against P. aeruginosa-induced permeability changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) serve a sentinel role allowing the host to efficiently sense and adapt to the presence of danger signals. Herein we have directly compared the genome-level expression patterns (microarray) of a human PBMC model (THP-1 cells) subjected to one of two canonical danger signals, heat shock or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Based on sequential expression and statistical filters, and in comparison to control cells, we found that 3,988 genes were differentially regulated in THP-1 cells subjected to LPS stress, and 2,921 genes were differentially regulated in THP-1 cells subjected to heat shock stress. Venn analyses demonstrated that the majority of differentially regulated genes (> or = 70%) were uniquely expressed in response to one of the two danger signals. Functional analyses demonstrated that the two danger signals induced expression or repression of genes corresponding to unique pathways, molecular functions, biological processes, and gene networks. In contrast, there were 184 genes that were commonly upregulated by both stress signals, and 430 genes that were commonly downregulated by both stress signals. Interestingly, the 184 commonly upregulated genes corresponded to a gene network broadly related to inflammation, and more specifically to chemokine signaling. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate that the mononuclear cell responses to the canonical stress signals, heat shock and LPS, are highly divergent. However, there is a heretofore unrecognized common pattern of gene network expression corresponding to chemokine-related biology. The data also serve as a reference database for investigators in the field of stress signaling.

Abstract
Proteins from the nucleotide-binding domain, LRR containing (NLR) family are involved in sensing bacterial invasion and danger signals in mammalian cells. Activation of these molecules leads to inflammatory responses which help clearance of invading pathogens. Recent data now shed light on the signal transduction pathways used by NLR proteins. This review summarizes advances in our understanding of signalling through NLRs with special emphasis on the Nod1 and Nod2 pathways.

Abstract
The heat shock (HS) response is a phylogenetically ancient cellular response to stress, including heat, that shifts gene expression to a set of conserved HS protein (HSP) genes. In our earlier studies, febrile-range hyperthermia (FRH) not only activated HSP gene expression, but also increased expression of CXC chemokines in mice, leading us to hypothesize that the CXC chemokine family of genes might be HS-responsive. To address this hypothesis we analyzed the effect of HS on the expression of IL-8/CXCL-8, a member of the human CXC family of ELR(+) chemokines. HS markedly enhanced TNF-alpha-induced IL-8 secretion in human A549 respiratory epithelial-like cells and in primary human small airway epithelial cells. IL-8 mRNA was also up-regulated by HS, but the stability of IL-8 mRNA was not affected. TNF-alpha-induced reporter activity of an IL-8 promoter construct IL8(-1471/+44)-luc stably transfected in A549 cells was also enhanced by HS. Electrophoretic mobility and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that the stress-activated transcription factor heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) binds to at least two putative heat shock response elements (HSE) present in the IL-8 promoter. Deletional reporter constructs lacking either one or both of these sites showed reduced HS responsiveness. Furthermore, depletion of HSF-1 using siRNA also reduced the effects HS on TNF-alpha-induced IL-8 expression, demonstrating that HSF-1 could also act to regulate IL-8 gene transcription. We speculate that during evolution the CXC chemokine genes may have co-opted elements of the HS response to amplify their expression and enhance neutrophil delivery during febrile illnesses.

Abstract
Several research models have shown that if cellular stress induces the heat shock response then this will suppress the NF-kappaB-mediated inflammatory response. The NF-kappaB signaling pathway mediates both stress signals and innate immunity signals. Heat shock proteins HSP70 and HSP90 regulate several signaling cascades to maintain cellular homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that HSP70 and HSP90 proteins regulate the function of the IKK complex which is the major activator of the NF-kappaB complex. The heat shock response can cause the dissociation of the IKK complex, composed of protein kinase subunits IKKalpha and IKKbeta and the regulatory unit NEMO, and inhibit the activation of NF-kappaB signaling. Suppression of immune signaling during cellular stress may be a useful feedback response for helping cells to survive tissue injury. Furthermore, IKKalpha and IKKbeta kinases are important activators of tumorigenesis and hence the inhibition of long-term activation of the IKK complex by HSP70 and HSP90 proteins may prevent cancer development during chronic inflammation.

Abstract
The IkappaB kinase (IKK) holocomplex, containing the kinases IKKalpha, IKKbeta, and the scaffold NEMO (NF-kappaB essential modifier), mediates activation of NF-kappaB by numerous physiological stimuli. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and the co-chaperone Cdc37 have been indicated as additional subunits, but their specific functions in signal transduction are indistinct. Using an RNA interference approach, we demonstrate that Cdc37 recruits Hsp90 to the IKK complex in a transitory manner, preferentially via IKKalpha. Binding is conferred by N-terminal as well as C-terminal residues of Cdc37. Cdc37 is essential for the maturation of de novo synthesized IKKs into enzymatically competent kinases but not for assembly of an IKK holocomplex. Mature IKKs, T-loop-phosphorylated after stimulation either by receptor-mediated signaling or upon DNA damage, further require Hsp90-Cdc37 to generate an activated state. Thus, the present data denote Hsp90-Cdc37 as a transiently acting essential regulatory component of IKK signaling.

Abstract
Heat-shock proteins (HSP) 90 exert a relevant role in the survival and response to therapy of many neoplastic cell types. Here, we show that the promoter of hsp90alpha gene, that encodes the inducible form of HSP90, is regulated by nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity. Indeed, we found that NF-kappaB factors bound to one of the two putative consensus sequences present in the hsp90alpha-flanking region; mutation of such motif hampered the phorbol-myristate-13-acetate-stimulated expression of a luciferase reporter gene under the control of the hsp90alpha promoter. Furthermore, the downmodulation of NF-kappaB (p65) levels by a specific small interfering (si) RNA resulted in reducing the levels of endogenous HSP90alpha protein. These findings disclose a previously unrecognized mechanism that contributes to connect NF-kappaB factors and HSPs in cell defence machinery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibitors of heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 induce apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cells, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this cytotoxic outcome are not clear. Here, we investigate the effect of IPI-504, a novel and highly soluble inhibitor of the Hsp90 ATPase activity, on the unfolded protein response (UPR) in MM cells. The UPR is a stress response pathway triggered by sensors located at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane whose function is to reduce an excessive accumulation of misfolded protein in the ER. During normal development of B-lymphocytes to antibody-producing plasma cells, a partial UPR has been described, where IREalpha and ATF-6 are stimulated, whereas the third sensor, PERK, is not induced. METHODS Levels of the activated forms of the three main UPR sensors ATF-6, XBP-1 and PERK/eIF-2 were monitored in two different MM cells lines and one non-MM cell lines under various experimental conditions including incubation with increasing concentration of IPI-504. Also, MM cells were incubated with IPI-504 and several apoptosis markers were monitored. RESULTS We show here that a partial UPR is constitutively activated in plasma cell-derived MM cells and that IPI-504 can potently inhibit this pathway. IPI-504 achieves this by inactivating the transcription factors XBP1 and ATF6. In addition, IPI-504 also blocks the tunicamycin-induced phosphorylation of eIF2 by PERK. Dose-response and time course experiments reveal that IPI-504's inhibitory effect on the UPR parallels its cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects on MM cells. CONCLUSION The results presented here suggest that the IPI-504-induced apoptosis might be, in part, mediated by the inhibition of the partial UPR. Other malignancies that rely on intact and efficient UPR to survive could be considered as new indications for Hsp90 inhibitors.

Abstract
Heat stress may enhance the effect of apoptosis-inducing agents in resistant tumor cells. One such agent is the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which has attracted intense interest for its ability to induce apoptosis in tumors without affecting nonmalignant cells. We therefore tested whether heat stress potentiates TRAIL-induced apoptosis in mesothelioma cells, its cell type being resistant to TRAIL alone. We found that heat stress enhanced the apoptosis caused by TRAIL but not by chemotherapy. To explain this potentiation, we found that heat stress decreased Akt phosphorylation via the dissociation of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) from its client protein 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK-1), a major Akt kinase. The role of Hsp90 and the Akt pathway was confirmed by showing that inhibitors of Hsp90 and the phosphatidyilinositol-3 kinase/Akt pathway reproduced the effect of heat stress on TRAIL-induced apoptosis and that the effect of inhibiting Hsp90 on TRAIL-induced apoptosis could be overcome by activating the Akt pathway with a constitutively active construct of the Akt kinase PDK-1. The effect of heat stress involved multiple steps of the apoptotic machinery. Heat stress potentiated the death receptor pathway, as shown by an increase in TRAIL-induced caspase 8 cleavage. Nonetheless, knockdown of Bid, the main intermediary molecule from the death receptor pathway to the mitochondria, inhibited the effect of heat stress, showing that mitochondrial amplification was required for potentiation by heat stress. In summary, these results support the novel concept that heat stress inhibits the Akt pathway by dissociating PDK-1 from its chaperone Hsp90, leading to potentiation of TRAIL-induced apoptosis in resistant malignant cells.

Abstract
Transcription factors of the NF-kappaB family regulate hundreds of genes in the context of multiple important physiological and pathological processes. NF-kappaB activation depends on phosphorylation-induced proteolysis of inhibitory IkappaB molecules and NF-kappaB precursors by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Most of the diverse signaling pathways that activate NF-kappaB converge on IkappaB kinases (IKK), which are essential for signal transmission. Many important details of the composition, regulation and biological function of IKK have been revealed in the last years. This review summarizes current aspects of structure and function of the regular stoichiometric components, the regulatory transient protein interactions of IKK and the mechanisms that contribute to its activation, deactivation and homeostasis. Both phosphorylation and ubiquitinatin (destructive as well as non-destructive) are crucial post-translational events in these processes. In addition to controlling induced IkappaB degradation in the cytoplasm and processing of the NF-kappaB precursor p100, nuclear IKK components have been found to act directly at the chromatin level of induced genes and to mediate responses to DNA damage. Finally, IKK is engaged in cross talk with other pathways and confers functions independently of NF-kappaB.

Abstract
The heat-shock response (HSR), a highly conserved cellular response, is characterized by rapid expression of heat-shock proteins (HSPs), and inhibition of other synthetic activities. The HSR can attenuate inflammatory responses, via suppression of transcription factor activation. A HSR can be induced pharmacologically by HSP90 inhibitors, through activation of the transcription factor Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1). In the present study we characterized the effects of 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), a less toxic derivative of the naturally occurring HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin, on glial inflammatory responses and the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. In primary enriched glial cultures, 17-AAG dose dependently reduced lipopolysaccharide-dependent expression and activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase, attenuated interleukin (IL)-1beta expression and release, increased inhibitor of kappaB protein levels, and induced HSP70 expression. 17-AAG administration to mice immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide prevented disease onset when given at an early time, and reduced clinical symptoms when given during ongoing disease. T cells from treated mice showed a reduced response to immunogen re-stimulation, and 17-AAG reduced CD3- and CD28-dependent IL-2 production. Together, these data suggest that HSP90 inhibitors could represent a new approach for therapeutic intervention in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Little is known about the pathogenesis of Entamoeba histolytica and how epithelial cells respond to the parasite. Herein, we characterized the interactions between E. histolytica and colonic epithelial cells and the role macrophages play in modulating epithelial cell responses. The human colonic epithelial cell lines Caco-2 and T84 were grown either as monoculture or co-cultured in transwell plates with differentiated human THP-1 macrophages for 24 h before stimulation with soluble amebic proteins (SAP). In naive epithelial cells, prolonged stimulation with SAP reduced the levels of heat shock protein (Hsp) 27 and 72. However in THP-1 conditioned intestinal epithelial cells SAP enhanced Hsp27 and Hsp72, which was dependent on the activation of ERK MAP kinase. Hsp synthesis induced by SAP conferred protection against oxidative and apoptotic injuries. Treatment with SAP inhibited NF-kappaB activation induced by interleukin-1beta; specifically, the NF-kappaB-DNA binding, nuclear translocation of p65 subunit, and phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha were reduced. Gene silencing by small interfering RNA confirmed the role of Hsp27 in suppressing NF-kappaB activation at IkappaB kinase (IKK) level. By co-immunoprecipitation studies, we found that Hsp27 interacts with IKK-alpha and IKK-beta, and this association was increased in SAP-treated conditioned epithelial cells. Overexpression of wild type Hsp27 amplified the effects of SAP, whereas a phosphorylation-deficient mutant of Hsp27 abrogated SAP-induced NF-kappaB inhibition. In conditioned epithelial cells, Hsp27 was phosphorylated at serine 15 after prolonged exposure to SAP. This mechanism may explain the absence of colonic inflammation seen in the majority of individuals infected with E. histolytica.

Abstract
MLK3 (mixed lineage kinase 3) is a widely expressed, mammalian serine/threonine protein kinase that activates multiple MAPK pathways. Previously our laboratory used in vivo labeling/mass spectrometry to identify phosphorylation sites of activated MLK3. Seven of 11 identified sites correspond to the consensus motif for phosphorylation by proline-directed kinases. Based on these results, we hypothesized that JNK, or another proline-directed kinase, phosphorylates MLK3 as part of a feedback loop. Herein we provide evidence that MLK3 can be phosphorylated by JNK in vitro and in vivo. Blockade of JNK results in dephosphorylation of MLK3. The hypophosphorylated form of MLK3 is inactive and redistributes to a Triton-insoluble fraction. Recovery from JNK inhibition restores MLK3 solubility and activity, indicating that the redistribution process is reversible. This work describes a novel mode of regulation of MLK3, by which JNK-mediated feedback phosphorylation of MLK3 regulates its activation and deactivation states by cycling between Triton-soluble and Triton-insoluble forms.

Abstract
Lung endothelial damage is a characteristic morphological feature of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, although the molecular steps involved in the loss of endothelial integrity are still poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cell signaling would be responsible for the increase in lung vascular permeability seen early after the onset of I/R in rats. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the I/R-induced pulmonary edema would be significantly attenuated in rats by the activation of the stress protein response. Pretreatment with Ad Flk-1, an adenovirus encoding for the soluble VEGF receptor type II, prevented I/R-mediated increase in lung vascular permeability in rats. Furthermore, the I/R-induced lung injury was significantly decreased by prior activation of the stress protein response with geldanamycin or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. In vitro studies demonstrated that VEGF caused an increase in protein permeability across primary cultures of bovine macro- and microvascular lung endothelial cell monolayers that were associated with a phosphorylation of VE- and E-cadherin and the formation of actin stress fibers. Activation of the stress protein response prevented the VEGF-mediated changes in protein permeability across these cell monolayers and reduced the phosphorylation of VE-and E-cadherins, as well as the formation of actin stress fibers in these cells.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) is found in the extracellular space (eHsp72) and that eHsp72 has potent immunomodulatory effects. However, whether eHsp72 is present in the distal air spaces and whether eHsp72 could modulate removal of alveolar edema is unknown. The first objective was to determine whether Hsp72 is released within air spaces and whether Hsp72 levels in pulmonary edema fluid would correlate with the capacity of the alveolar epithelium to remove alveolar edema fluid in patients with ALI/ARDS. Patients with hydrostatic edema served as controls. The second objective was to determine whether activation of the stress protein response (SPR) caused the release of Hsp72 into the extracellular space in vivo and in vitro and to determine whether SPR activation and/or eHsp72 itself would prevent the IL-1beta-mediated inhibition of the vectorial fluid transport across alveolar type II cells. We found that eHsp72 was present in plasma and pulmonary edema fluid of ALI patients and that eHsp72 was significantly higher in pulmonary edema fluid from patients with preserved alveolar epithelial fluid clearance. Furthermore, SPR activation in vivo in mice and in vitro in lung endothelial, epithelial, and macrophage cells caused intracellular expression and extracellular release of Hsp72. Finally, SPR activation, but not eHsp72 itself, prevented the decrease in alveolar epithelial ion transport induced by exposure to IL-1beta. Thus SPR may protect the alveolar epithelium against oxidative stress associated with experimental ALI, and eHsp72 may serve as a marker of SPR activation in the distal air spaces of patients with ALI.
