Abstract
Early events in response to abrupt increases in activation and loading with muscle functional overload (FO) are associated with increased damage and inflammation. Heat shock protein 25 (HSP25) may protect against these stressors, and its expression can be regulated by muscle loading and activation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the responses of HSP25, phosphorylated HSP25 (pHSP25), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) during FO of the slow soleus and fast plantaris. We compared the HSP25 mRNA, HSP25 protein, pHSP25, and TNF-alpha responses in the soleus and plantaris after 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 7 days of FO. HSP25 and pHSP25 were quantified in soluble and insoluble fractions. HSP25 mRNA increased immediately in both muscles and decreased with continued FO. However, HSP25 mRNA levels were consistently higher in the muscles of FO than control rats. In the soluble fraction, HSP25 increased in the plantaris after 2-7 days of FO with the greatest response at 3 and 7 days. The pHSP25 response to FO was greater in the plantaris than soleus at all points in the soluble fraction and at 0.5 days in the insoluble fraction. TNF-alpha levels in the plantaris, but not soleus, were higher than control at 0.5-2 days of FO. This may have contributed to the greater FO response in pHSP25 in the plantaris than soleus as TNF-alpha increased pHSP25 in C2C12 myotubes. These results suggest that the initial responses of pHSP25 and TNF-alpha to mechanical stress and inflammation associated with FO are greater in a fast than slow extensor muscle.

Abstract
DjB1 (Hsp40/DnajB1/Hdj1) is a member of the Hsp40/DnaJ family that functions as a co-chaperone of mammalian Hsp70s. DjB1 recognizes substrate proteins and facilitates the ATPase activity of Hsp70. We generated DjB1 deficient mice. The DjB1(-/-) mice were viable and fertile with no obvious abnormalities, thus indicating that DjB1 is dispensable for development and viability. No difference was found between the DjB1(-/-) and wild-type peritoneal macrophages regarding resistance against various types of apoptosis-inducing reagents. However, DjB1(-/-) cells showed decreased thermotolerance in the early phase after mild heat treatment, but not in the late phase. After the heat treatment, Hsp70 was induced similarly in wild-type and DjB1(-/-) cells. Immunofluorescence staining of wild-type cells revealed the accumulation of DjB1 and Hsc70 in the nucleus after heat treatment. DjB1 also accumulated in the centrosome. The accumulation of Hsc70 in the nucleus was also observed in DjB1(-/-) cells. These results suggest that the impaired thermotolerance of DjB1(-/-) cells is not due to a mislocation of the Hsp70 family.

Abstract
A chimeric protein consisting of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fused to the N-terminus of human Hsp27 conferred stress protection in human A549 lung carcinoma and murine L929 cells that were stably transfected to express the chimera constitutively. The resultant protection was comparable with that in the same cell lines when they were transfected to express corresponding levels of Hsp27. Unlike L929 cells, A549 cells exhibit endogenous Hsp27 expression, whose expression was inhibited in proportion to the amount of fluorescent chimera expressed, suggesting that the A549 cells recognized the latter as Hsp27. Upregulation of Hsp27 or chimeric Hsp27 in all transfected cell lines (stable or transient transfection) caused no measurable change in cellular glutathione levels, indicating that glutathione played no role in the stress protection associated with either protein. Chimeric Hsp27 had a monomeric molecular weight of 55 kDa (that of Hsp27 plus EGFP) in both cell types and formed a 16-mer complex twice as massive as that formed by Hsp27. Heat shock or sodium arsenite induced phosphorylation of both chimeric Hsp27 and Hsp27, which resulted in the disaggregation of Hsp27 multimers in both cell types and disaggregation of 20% of the chimeric multimers in L929 cells. But chimeric Hsp27 multimers did not disaggregate after stress in A549 cells. Epifluorescence and confocal microscopy demonstrated that chimeric Hsp27 was restricted to the cytoplasm under normal growth conditions and after heat shock in all cells. This study supports the conclusions that Hsp27 stress protection requires neither its translocation into the nucleus nor the dissociation of its multimeric complex. Furthermore, it demonstrates that fluorescent chimeras of heat shock proteins can be functional and used to observe the protein's distribution within living cells.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated the protective effect of the small heat-shock protein against oxidative damage induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha. Here we have extended our studies of the possible role of Hsp25 in ionizing radiation-induced damage. For these studies, we transfected murine fibroblast L929 cells with the Hsp25 gene and selected three stably transfected clones. Hsp25 overexpression conferred radioresistance as detected by clonogenic survival and induction of apoptosis. Interestingly, the Hsp25-transfected cells showed an increase in the level of the anti-apoptosis molecule Bcl2. We also observed alterations of cell growth in the Hsp25-transfected cells. The cell cycle time of Hsp25-transfected cells was 3-4 h slower than that of vector-transfected control cells. Flow cytometry analysis of synchronized cells at late G(1) phase by mimosine treatment also showed the growth delay in Hsp25-overexpressing cells. In addition, reduced cyclin D1, cyclin A and Cdc2 levels and increased levels of Cdkn1a (also known as p21(Waf)) were observed in Hsp25-transfected cells, which probably caused the reduction in cell growth. In addition, synchronization by mimosine treatment only partially altered radioresistance in the Hsp25-transfected cells. Taken together, these data suggest that Hsp25-induced radioresistance is associated with growth delay as well as induction of Bcl2.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) have been suggested to act as molecular chaperones for many kinds of substrates and have protective roles in cells exposed to external stresses. Unlike other major Hsps such as Hsp70 and Hsp90, expression of many vertebrate sHsps is restricted to the muscle tissues and/or eye lens. Among the sHsps, the heat-inducible human Hsp27 (hHsp27) homologue is believed to be expressed ubiquitously in various cell types. Here, we distinguished the chicken homologue of hHsp27 (cHsp24) from the chicken major heat-inducible protein of molecular size 25 kDa (cHsp25). cHsp25 is not expressed in the absence of stress, but is highly expressed after hyperthermia in all tissues of developing embryos. In contrast, expression of cHsp24 is restricted to some specific tissues even in the presence of stress. Thus, cHsp25 is the first member of the sHsps in vertebrates the expression of which is ubiquitous in tissues exposed to external stresses similar to Hsp70.

Abstract
Several previously unreported small heat-shock proteins (sHsps) were detected in mitochondria from heat-stressed rat PC12 cells, but not in unstressed controls. Functional inactivation of the mitochondrial sHsps with murine Hsp25 antibody indicated that these sHsps protect NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase and NADH dehydrogenase activity (i.e., complex I) in submitochondrial vesicles during heat and oxidative stress. These results (i) confirm the existence of multiple sHsps in mammals and indicate that several of these sHsps associate with the mitochondria, (ii) indicate a conserved function between plant and mammalian mitochondrial sHsps in protecting electron transport during stress, and (iii) suggest that these sHsps may play an important role in diseases whose etiology is based upon oxidative damage of complex I.

Abstract
Previously we and others have demonstrated that oxidative stress involving generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is responsible for the cytotoxic action of TNF alpha. Protective effect of small heat shock proteins (HSP) against diverse oxidative stress conditions has been suggested. Although overexpression of small HSP was shown to provide an enhanced survival of TNF alpha-sensitive cells when challenged with TNF alpha, neither the nature of TNF alpha-induced cytotoxicity nor the protective mechanism of small HSP has been completely understood. In this study, we have attempted to determine whether TNF alpha induces oxidative DNA damage in TNF alpha-sensitive L929 cells. We chose to measure the level of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8 ohdG), which has been increasingly recognized as one of the most sensitive markers of oxidative DNA damage. Our results clearly demonstrated that the level of 8 ohdG increased in L929 cells in a TNF alpha dose-dependent manner. Subsequently, we asked whether small HSP has a protective effect on TNF alpha-induced oxidative DNA damage. To accomplish this goal, we have stably transfected into L929 cells, which are devoid of endogenous small HSP, with the mouse small hsp cDNA (hsp25). We found that TNF alpha-induced 8 ohdG was decreased in cells overexpressing exogenous small HSP25. We also found that the cell-killing activity of TNF alpha was decreased in these cells as measured by clonogenic survival. Taken together, results from the current study show that a cytotoxic mechanism of TNF alpha involves oxidative damage of DNA, and that overexpression of the small HSP25 reduces this oxidative damage. We suggest that the reduction of oxidative DNA damage is an important protective mechanisms of small HSP against TNF alpha.

Abstract
We have previously shown that murine L929 cells do not express the small heat shock protein alphaB-crystallin upon exposure to thermal stress (Mol Cell Biochem 155: 51-60, 1996). In these studies, we demonstrate that L929 cells also fail to express alphaB-crystallin upon exposure dexamethasone, whereas NIH 3T3 and Swiss 3T3 murine cells exhibit alphaB-crystallin expression under identical conditions. Mobility shift assays demonstrated heat-inducible binding, presumably by heat shock factor(s), to an alphaB-crystallin heat shock element (HSE) oligomeric sequence in total cellular extracts from L929 cells. Transient transfection of a plasmid containing the alphaB-crystallin promoter linked to a CAT reporter gene exhibited heat-inducible expression in L929 cells. In addition, L929 cells stably transfected with a plasmid containing the complete alphaB-crystallin gene showed expression of this gene following heat shock. The presence of the endogenous alphaB-crystallin gene was detected by Southern blot hybridization of genomic L929 DNA, and sequence analysis revealed identical nucleotide structure to published murine sequences throughout the entire promoter. Treatment of L929 cells with 5-azacytidine enabled heat-inducible expression of alphaB-crystallin from the endogenous gene, however, methylation of the putative heat shock element (HSE) and flanking promoter sequences of L929 cell genomic DNA was not detected. In vivo genomic footprinting demonstrated constitutive binding to the endogenous HSE of the alphaB-crystallin promoter in L929, L929/alphaB-crystallin transfectant cells, and Swiss 3T3 cells during unstressed and heat stressed conditions. Therefore, the genomic alphaB-crystallin HSE region in L929 cells appears to be available for binding of putative transcription factors, but methylation in other regions of the gene or genome repress the expression of alphaB-crystallin in L929 cells. In vitro culture of L929 cells appears to have rendered the alphaB-crystallin gene loci inactive through methylation, thus providing a unique system by which to study the function of transfected small heat shock proteins.

Abstract
We investigated the role of alpha B-crystallin expression in the development of thermotolerance in murine L929 cells. An initial heat-shock of 10 min at 45 degrees C induced thermotolerance in these cells to a heat challenge at 45 degrees C administered 24 h later. The thermotolerance ratio at 10(-1) isosurvival was 1.7. Expression of alpha B-crystallin gene was not detected during the 24 h incubation at 37 degrees C following heat shock by either northern or western blots. In contrast, inducible HSP70 synthesis was observed during this time period. Thus, this cell line provided an unique system in which to examine the effects of transfected alpha B-crystallin on thermoresistance and thermotolerance. Cells stably transfected with alpha B-crystallin under the control of an inducible promoter did not show a significant increase in the ability to develop thermotolerance. However, a stably transfected L929 clone expressing high levels of constitutive alpha B-crystallin exhibited an approximately 50% increase in thermal resistance over parental and control cells. Though expression of alpha B-crystallin is not requisite for the development of thermotolerance in L929 cells, overexpression of transfected alpha B-crystallin can contribute to increased thermoresistance.

Abstract
We studied the effect of isoquinolinesulfonamide derivatives (H-7, H-8, and HA1004) on the expression of two heat shock genes (alpha beta-crystallin and hsp70) in NIH 3T3 and Swiss 3T3 cells after heat shock at 45 degrees for 10 min. Western blots and northern blots showed that H-7 effectively suppressed the accumulation of HSP70 and alpha B-crystallin mRNA as well as the synthesis of their proteins. The degree of suppression was dependent upon the concentration of the drug. Moreover, the expression of the hsp genes was differentially suppressed by H-7. The expression of the alpha B-crystallin gene was more effectively inhibited than that of the hsp70 gene by H-7. Nuclear run-on assay demonstrates that this difference was due to the differential effect of H-7 on the elongation of transcription of different hsp genes.

Abstract
It was reported that chemical stresses such as arsenite, cadmium or salicylate fail to induce synthesis of the inducible form of HSP70 (HSP70i). We report here that exposure of cells to higher doses of these chemical treatments induced significant synthesis of HSP70i in CHO cells as well as other cell lines. The synthesis of HSP70i is primarily regulated at the transcriptional level. Although all tested chemical treatments induced heat shock factor (HSF) binding to the heat shock element (HSE), HSP70i synthesis appears to be regulated by an alternative factor (CHBF) which constitutively binds to the HSE at 37 degrees C. The treatments, which dissociate the HSE-CHBF complex, induced significant HSP70i synthesis. The treatments, which failed to induce HSP70i synthesis, still activated HSF binding to HSE but the HSE-CHBF complex remained as that of untreated control cells.

Abstract
We have previously reported the lack of HSP28 gene expression during acute and chronic thermotolerance development in L929 cells (J Cell Physiol 152: 118-125, 1992; Cancer Res 52: 5787, 1992). In contrast to HSP28, an extremely high level of inducible HSP70 synthesis was observed. These results led us to investigate the possibility of compensatory interactions between HSP70 and HSP28. To test the hypothesis, L929 cells were transfected with the human HSP28 gene contained in plasmid pCMV27. Data from Western blot and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of [3H] leucine and [32P] orthophosphate-labeled proteins showed the synthesis and phosphorylation of HSP28 in transfected cells after heating at 45 degrees C for 10 min. However, the expression of constitutive and inducible HSP70 genes, along with the synthesis of their proteins, was not decreased after heat shock. These results suggest an independent regulation of HSP28 and HSP70 gene expression.

Abstract
We have investigated the regulation mechanism of chemical stress-induced hsp70 gene expression in murine L929 cells. Our data show that chemical treatments including sodium arsenite, cadmium chloride and sodium salicylate, induced significant synthesis of hsp70 and its mRNA. The induced hsp70 gene expression appears to be regulated at the transcriptional level. A factor (CHBF), which constitutively binds to the heat shock element (HSE) at 37 degrees C, functions like a negative regulator and the heat-induced heat shock factor (HSF) acts as an activator. The chemical treatments that induce significant hsp70 synthesis activate HSF binding to HSE but also dissociate the HSE-CHBF complex. Some chemical treatments, e.g. IPTG, which fail to activate hsp70 gene transcription, still activate HSF binding to HSE. However, in this case, the HSE-CHBF complex remained like that of untreated control cells.
