Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a class of molecular chaperones with expression increased in response to heat or other stresses. HSPs regulate cell homeostasis by modulating the folding and maturation of intracellular proteins. Tooth development is a complex process that involves many cell activities. During tooth preparation or trauma, teeth can be damaged. The damaged teeth start their repair process by remineralizing and regenerating tissue. During tooth development and injury repair, different HSPs have different expression patterns and play a special role in odontoblast differentiation and ameloblast secretion by mediating signaling pathways or participating in protein transport. This review explores the expression patterns and potential mechanisms of HSPs, particularly HSP25, HSP60 and HSP70, in tooth development and injury repair.

A genome-wide deletion mutant screen identifies pathways affected by nickel sulfate in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. BMC Genomics 2009; 10:524. [PMID: 19917080 PMCID: PMC2784802 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2164-10-524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2009] [Accepted: 11/15/2009] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The understanding of the biological function, regulation, and cellular interactions of the yeast genome and proteome, along with the high conservation in gene function found between yeast genes and their human homologues, has allowed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae to be used as a model organism to deduce biological processes in human cells. Here, we have completed a systematic screen of the entire set of 4,733 haploid S. cerevisiae gene deletion strains (the entire set of nonessential genes for this organism) to identify gene products that modulate cellular toxicity to nickel sulfate (NiSO4). Results We have identified 149 genes whose gene deletion causes sensitivity to NiSO4 and 119 genes whose gene deletion confers resistance. Pathways analysis with proteins whose absence renders cells sensitive and resistant to nickel identified a wide range of cellular processes engaged in the toxicity of S. cerevisiae to NiSO4. Functional categories overrepresented with proteins whose absence renders cells sensitive to NiSO4 include homeostasis of protons, cation transport, transport ATPases, endocytosis, siderophore-iron transport, homeostasis of metal ions, and the diphthamide biosynthesis pathway. Functional categories overrepresented with proteins whose absence renders cells resistant to nickel include functioning and transport of the vacuole and lysosome, protein targeting, sorting, and translocation, intra-Golgi transport, regulation of C-compound and carbohydrate metabolism, transcriptional repression, and chromosome segregation/division. Interactome analysis mapped seven nickel toxicity modulating and ten nickel-resistance networks. Additionally, we studied the degree of sensitivity or resistance of the 111 nickel-sensitive and 72 -resistant strains whose gene deletion product has a similar protein in human cells. Conclusion We have undertaken a whole genome approach in order to further understand the mechanism(s) regulating the cell's toxicity to nickel compounds. We have used computational methods to integrate the data and generate global models of the yeast's cellular response to NiSO4. The results of our study shed light on molecular pathways associated with the cellular response of eukaryotic cells to nickel compounds and provide potential implications for further understanding the toxic effects of nickel compounds to human cells.

Abstract
One of the most intriguing and less known aspects of the interaction between viruses and their host is the impact of the viral infection on the heat shock response (HSR). While both a positive and a negative role of different heat shock proteins (HSP) in the control of virus replication has been hypothesized, HSP function during the virus replication cycle is still not well understood. This chapter describes different aspects of the interactions between viruses and heat shock proteins during infection of mammalian cells: the first part focuses on the modulation of the heat shock response by human viral pathogens; the second describes the interactions of HSP and other chaperones with viral components, and their function during different steps of the virus replication cycle; the last part summarizes our knowledge on the effect of hyperthermia and HSR modulators on virus replication.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that acute in vitro exposure of prematurely delivered fetal rabbit lungs to hyperoxic conditions will induce the expression of an adaptive cassette of proteins that mediates antioxidant and inflammatory processes. To test this hypothesis, ex situ fetal rabbit lung explants were prepared from New Zealand white rabbits delivered by cesarean section on day 29 of gestation and incubated under air (21% O2; 5% CO2) or hyperoxic (95% O2; 5% CO2) atmospheres. Total tissue protein was extracted following incubation and subjected to 2-DE. Using this technique, 1500-2000 protein spots were resolved per gel. Treatment-dependent, differentially expressed proteins were identified by image analysis (Melanie II) and MALDI-TOF MS and MALDI-MS/MS. The analysis identified 12 protein spots that were differentially expressed by 1.5-fold or more (p<0.05) by exposure to hyperoxic conditions. Six of these differentially expressed proteins were identified as vimentin, annexin I, inorganic pyrophosphatase, prohibitin, an N-terminal fragment of ATP synthase and heat shock protein 27. The data obtained are consistent with the roles of these proteins in mediating cellular response to oxidative stress and in regulating cell proliferation.

Abstract
Inhalation of mixtures of insoluble and soluble nickel compounds by humans during nickel refining has been associated with excess lung and nasal sinus cancers. Insoluble nickel subsulfide (Ni3S2) and nickel oxide (NiO) are carcinogenic to rodents by inhalation. We previously showed that insoluble Ni3S2, crystalline nickel monosulfide (NiS), and green (high temperature, HT) and black (low temperature, LT) NiO, induced morphological transformation in cultured C3H/10T1/2 Cl 8 (10T1/2) mouse embryo cells. To understand molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis by insoluble nickel compounds, we used random, arbitrarily primed-polymerase chain reaction (RAP-PCR) mRNA differential display and identified nine cDNA fragments that were differentially expressed between nontransformed and nickel-transformed cell lines in approximately 10.0% of the total mRNA. Expression of the calnexin gene (encoding a type I membrane protein/molecular chaperone), the ect-2 proto-oncogene, and the stress-inducible gene, Wdr1, was upregulated. Expression of six genes--the vitamin D interacting protein/thyroid hormone activating protein 80 (DRIP/TRAP-80) gene, the insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGFR1) gene, the small nuclear activating protein (SNAP C3) gene, and three unknown genes, was down-regulated, in nickel-transformed cell lines. We hypothesize that these resulting aberrations in gene expression could contribute to the induction and/or maintenance of morphological transformation induced by specific insoluble nickel compounds.

Abstract
Neurodegeneration and dementia are common complications of AIDS caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of the central nervous system. HIV-1 target cells in the brain include microglia, infiltrating macrophages and astrocytes, but rarely neurons. Astrocytes play an important role in the maintenance of the synaptic micro-environment and in neuronal signal transmission. To investigate potential changes in cellular gene expression associated with HIV-1 infection of astrocytes, we employed an efficient and sensitive rapid subtraction hybridization approach, RaSH. Primary human astrocytes were isolated from abortus brain tissue and low-passage cells were infected with HIV-1. To identify genes that display both early and late expression modifications after HIV-1 infection and to avoid cloning genes displaying normal cell cycle fluctuations in astrocytes, RNAs were isolated and pooled from 6, 12, 24 h and 3 and 7 day uninfected and infected cells and used for RaSH. Temporal cDNA libraries were prepared from double-stranded cDNAs that were enzymatically digested into small fragments, ligated to adapters, PCR amplified, and hybridized by incubation of tester and driver PCR fragments. By subtracting temporal cDNAs derived from uninfected astrocytes from temporal cDNAs made from HIV-1 infected cells, genes displaying elevated expression in virus infected cells, termed astrocyte elevated genes (AEGs), were identified. Both known and novel AEGs, not reported in current DNA databases, are described that display early or late expression kinetics following HIV-1 infection or treatment with recombinant HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (gp120). For selected AEGs, expression of their protein products was also tested by Western blotting and found to display elevated expression following HIV-1 infection. The comparable pattern of regulation of the AEGs following HIV-1 infection or gp120 treatment suggest that HIV-1 exposure of astrocytes, even in the absence of productive infection, can induce changes in cellular gene expression.

Abstract
S100A4 is a cell proliferation- and cancer metastasis-related gene. Previous studies have shown that over-expression of S100A4 drives the cells into the S-phase of the cell cycle, with concomitant enhancement of p53 detection. This has led to the postulate that S100A4 could be controlling cell cycle progression by sequestering p53 and abrogating its G1-S checkpoint control. Cells induced by S100A4 to enter the S-phase do successfully negotiate the G2-M checkpoint control. Here we show that S100A4 is also involved in the regulation of control at this checkpoint. Stathmin is known to be associated, together with p53 in controlling G2-M transition. We present evidence that the expression of S100A4 and stathmin genes is up regulated in exponentially growing HeLa cells. They are down regulated in parallel when cell proliferation is inhibited by hyperthermia and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). We postulate that S100A4 might directly induce stathmin up regulation to enable cells to enter into mitosis. Since wild-type p53 is known to down regulate stathmin expression, we further postulate this might also involve S100A4-mediated sequestration of p53. The expression of heme oxygenase (HO-1), a stress-response protein, has been used to monitor effects of hyperthermia, 12-O-tetradecanoly phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and 4-HNE. All these treatments induced HO-1 and also when cells growing in serum-deficiency were restored with full serum. HO-1 induction occurred irrespective of S100A4 expression status. HO-1 gene has responsive elements for many angiogenic agents and induces marked neovascularisation of tumours. We suggest therefore that S100A4 may not possess angiogenic properties.

Abstract
Upon deprivation of nutrients, Dictyostelium discoideum Ax-2 cells arrest proliferation and initiate a metamorphosed developmental program including induction of altered gene expressions which are necessary for differentiation. In Ax-2 cells, we found out a member of Hsp90 family usually contained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Dd-GRP94 (Dictyostelium discoideum glucose-regulated protein 94). In general, GRP94 are induced either by glucose-depletion or by depletion of Ca(2+) in intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Unexpectedly, however, the expression of Dd-grp94 was greatly reduced within 60 min of starvation. Dd-grp94-overexpressing cells (GRP94(OE) cells) collected without forming distinct aggregation streams, and never formed normal fruiting bodies. Also, prespore differentiation as well as maturation into spores and stalk cells were particularly impaired in the GRP94(OE) cells. Thus Dd-GRP94 seems to be crucial in late differentiation as well as in starvation response.

Abstract
We recently reported the identification of human calumenin, a novel Ca(2+) binding, transformation-sensitive and secreted protein [Vorum et al. (1998) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1386, 121-131; Vorum et al. (1999) Exp. Cell Res. 248, 473-481] belonging to the family of multiple EF-hand proteins of the secretory pathway that include reticulocalbin, ERC-55, Cab45 and crocalbin. In order to further investigate the extracellular functions of calumenin we immobilized the recombinant protein to a column. After application of a placental tissue extract we were able to elute one protein that interacts with calumenin in the presence of Ca(2+). Amino acid sequencing identified this protein as serum amyloid P component (SAP). Furthermore, we verified and characterized the calumenin-SAP interaction by the surface plasmon resonance technique. The findings indicate that calumenin may participate in the immunological defense system and could be involved in the pathological process of amyloidosis that leads to formation of amyloid deposits seen in different types of tissues.

Abstract
The 90-kDa molecular chaperone family (which comprises, among other proteins, the 90-kDa heat-shock protein, hsp90 and the 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein, grp94, major molecular chaperones of the cytosol and of the endoplasmic reticulum, respectively) has become an increasingly active subject of research in the past couple of years. These ubiquitous, well-conserved proteins account for 1-2% of all cellular proteins in most cells. However, their precise function is still far from being elucidated. Their involvement in the aetiology of several autoimmune diseases, in various infections, in recognition of malignant cells, and in antigen-presentation already demonstrates the essential role they likely will play in clinical practice of the next decade. The present review summarizes our current knowledge about the cellular functions, expression, and clinical implications of the 90-kDa molecular chaperone family and some approaches for future research.

Abstract
By microsequencing and cDNA cloning we have identified the transformation-sensitive protein No. IEF SSP 9302 as the human homologue of calumenin. The nucleotide sequence predicts a 315 amino acid protein with high identity to murine and rat calumenin. The deduced protein contains a 19 amino acid N-terminal signal sequence, 7 EF-hand domains and, at the C-terminus, a HDEF sequence which has been reported to function as retrieval signal to the ER. The calumenin transcript is ubiquitously expressed in human tissue, at high levels in heart, placenta and skeletal muscle, at lower levels in lung, kidney and pancreas and at very low levels in brain and liver. Calumenin belongs to a family of multiple EF-hand proteins that include the ER localized proteins reticulocalbin and ERC-55 and the Golgi localized Cab45. Since its Ca2+ binding may be important for the function of the protein we have used microdialysis experiments in order to analyse for the affinity and the capacity of recombinant human (rh) calumenin. All 7 EF-hands of the protein are functional and bind Ca2+, each with an affinity of 1.6x103 M-1. The relatively low affinity for the EF-hands may suggest a role for the protein in Ca2+-dependent processes in the ER.

Abstract
Mts1 is a metastasis-associated gene of the S-100 gene family and codes for a Ca2+-binding protein. It is highly expressed in murine and human cancers of high invasive and metastatic potential. Recent work has shown that the mts1 protein might be involved in cell cycle regulation. An upregulation of its expression drives cells into the S phase, together with an enhanced expression of p53 phosphoprotein, which has led to the suggestion that mtsl protein might be sequestering p53 thereby abrogating the G1-S checkpoint control normally exerted by p53. Preliminary studies showed that expression of mts1 is downregulated by hyperthermia. We present evidence that in murine BL6 melanoma cells and human HUT cells that hyperthermia downregulates the mts1 gene. It is also downregulated in heat-resistant variants of the B16 melanoma and HUT cells. In parallel, there is a decrease in the size of the S phase fraction and an increase in the doubling time of cells. Cell subjected to hyperthermia show an 2- to 3.5-fold increase in the expression of HSP28 which has been shown to possess a proliferation inhibitory action. It is postulated that a complete regulatory loop involving mtsl, p53, and HSP28 might be involved in cell proliferation.

Abstract
The chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (CCT), found in the eukaryotic cytosol, is currently the focus of extensive research. CCT consists of at least eight different subunit types encoded by independent but related genes, and a set of antibodies that recognise individual subunits has proved useful in the characterisation and functional analysis of CCT. These antibodies were used to identify subunits of CCT in the human keratinocyte two-dimensional protein database. Accurate values for the pI and molecular mass of human CCT subunits were determined from the database, and biological data was obtained regarding changes in subunit levels in response to extracellular agents and growth conditions. The second part of the study describes the characterisation of seven monoclonal antibodies raised against mouse TCP-1, also known as CCT alpha, using a combination of epitope mapping and immunoblot analysis of protein extracts from different species and tissue types. Some antibodies were not monospecific for TCP-1, and a number of epitope-related proteins were identified.

Abstract
The rapid progress in characterizing genes and mRNAs (expressed sequence tags, ESTs) as a result of the Human Genome Project makes it imperative to develop strategies to interface DNA mapping and sequencing data with protein information, as the latter orchestrate most cellular functions. Presently, the only technique able to resolve and record the thousands of proteins present in cells and tissues is two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis in combination with computer-aided technology to scan the gels, make synthetic images, assign numbers to individual spots as well as to enter qualitative and quantitative information. To date, comprehensive 2-D gel databases containing information about various properties of proteins (cellular localization, identification, regulatory properties, partial amino acid sequences, etc.) have been established (available on the internet: http:@biobase.dk/cgi-bin/celis). What remains is to provide a link between these data and the forthcoming information from the Human Genome Project. We are pursuing two approaches to achieve this goal: (i) microsequencing and mass spectrometry analysis of proteins resolved from 2-D gels and (ii) expression of cDNAs in the vaccinia virus expression system. Using the latter approach we have expressed about 60 cDNAs in human cells under conditions that faithfully reproduce post-translational trimmings and modifications of the proteins. The method, in combination with 2-D gel electrophoresis, allows precise matching of almost any cDNA to its protein product, irrespective of the protein abundance.

Abstract
The relationship between viruses and the cellular stress response is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon which depends on the structural and genetic characteristics of the virus, on the type of infection, as well as on the environmental conditions. It is now well documented that infection of mammalian cells by several types of RNA and DNA viruses often results in alterations of the cellular stress response. Interactions between stress proteins and viral components have been described in a large variety of experimental models at different stages of the viral life cycle, depending on the type of virus and host cell. The presence of heat shock proteins in intact virions has also been described. On the other hand, induction of HSP expression by hyperthermia or other agents results in alterations of the virus replication cycle during acute or persistent infections of mammalian cells, and a possible role of heat shock proteins in the beneficial effect of fever and local hyperthermia during acute infection has been hypothesized. This chapter describes the different aspects of the interaction between viruses and the stress response, and discusses the possible role of stress proteins in the control of virus replication and morphogenesis.

Abstract
Comparison of the protein expression patterns of proliferating normal primary human keratinocytes plated in serum-free medium (SFKM), supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and bovine pituitary extract (BPE), and similar cultures induced to differentiate by the addition of Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM), containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), revealed several known and unknown polypeptides that are abnormally regulated in the differentiated cells. Upregulated proteins included keratins (keratins 6, 10/11, 14 and 16), members of the S100 protein family psoriasin, MRP8, MRP14 and S100c), actin-binding proteins (gelsolin and tropomyosin 9220), annexins (annexins IV and VIII), hsp28, the fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5), the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen, members of the 14-3-3 family, involucrin, E-cadherin, cystatin A, desmoglein and integrins alpha 2 and beta 1, as well as several proteins of as yet unknown identity. The highest upregulated proteins corresponded to psoriasin (124.0 times), MRP8 (42.4 times), MRP14 (14.9 times), tropomyosin 9220 (11.5 times), involucrin (11.1 times), and FABP5 (9.1 times). FABP5, hsp28, and tropomyosin 9220 were also highly upregulated in quiescent keratinocytes indicating that their increased levels in the differentiated cells may be due to loss of proliferative activity. Highly downregulated proteins included PAI-2, tropomyosins 9213, 9121 and 9122, keratin 5, calnexin, 14-3-3 beta and eta, nucleoside diphosphate kinase A, Rho GDIs, hsp60, hnRNPs H and C2, alpha-enolase, eIF-4D, thioredoxin, annexins III and V, moesin, nucleolar protein B23, GST pi and PCNA/cyclin. Both the high expression of keratin 6 and 16--which are markers for an alternative pathway of keratinocyte differentiation--as well as the extremely high upregulation of some members of the S100 protein family indicate that the cells have differentiated via an abnormal pathway.

Abstract
A qualitative and quantitative two-dimensional (2-D) gel database approach has been used to identify individual and groups of proteins that are differentially regulated in simian virus 40 (SV40) transformed human keratinocytes (K14). Five hundred and sixty [35S]methionine-labeled proteins (462 isoelectric focusing, IEF; 98 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis, NEPHGE), out of the 3038 recorded in the master keratinocyte database, were excised from dry, silver-stained gels of normal proliferating primary keratinocytes and K14 cells and the radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation counting. Two hundred and thirty five proteins were found to be either up- (177) or down-regulated (58) in the transformed cells by 50% or more, and of these, 115 corresponded to known proteins in the keratinocyte database (J.E. Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1993, 14, 1091-1198). The lowest abundance acidic protein quantitated was present in about 60,000 molecules per cell, assuming a value of 10(8) molecules per cell for total actin. The results identified individual, and groups of functionally related proteins that are differentially regulated in K14 keratinocytes and that play a role in a variety of cellular activities that include general metabolism, the cytoskeleton, DNA replication and cell proliferation, transcription and translation, protein folding, assembly, repair and turnover, membrane traffic, signal transduction, and differentiation. In addition, the results revealed several transformation sensitive proteins of unknown identity in the database as well as known proteins of yet undefined functions. Within the latter group, members of the S100 protein family--whose genes are clustered on human chromosome 1q21--were among the highest down-regulated proteins in K14 keratinocytes. Visual inspection of films exposed for different periods of time revealed only one new protein in the transformed K14 keratinocytes and this corresponded to keratin 18, a cytokeratin expressed mainly by simple epithelia. Besides providing with the first global overview of the functional changes associated with the transformed phenotype of human keratinocytes, the data strengthened previous evidence indicating that transformation results in the abnormal expression of normal genes rather than in the expression of new ones.
