Abstract
Restoring joint homeostasis is crucial for relieving osteoarthritis (OA). Current strategies are limited to unilateral efforts in joint lubrication, inhibition of inflammation, free radicals scavenging, and cartilage regeneration. Herein, by modifying molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) with Mg2+ -doped polydopamine and coating with polysulfobetaines, a dual-bionic photothermal nanozyme (MPMP) is constructed to mimic antioxidases/hyaluronan synthase for OA therapy. Photothermally enhanced lubrication lowers the coefficient of friction (0.028) in the early stage of OA treatment. The antioxidases-mimicking properties of MPMP nanozyme contribute to eliminating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) (over 90% of scavenging ratio for H2 O2 /·OH/O· 2 - /DPPH/ABTS+ ) and supplying O2 . With NIR irradiation, the MPMP nanozyme triggers thermogenesis (upregulating HSP70 expression) and Mg2+ release, which promotes the chondrogenesis in inflammatory conditions by deactivating NF-κB/IL-17 signaling pathways and enhancing MAPK signaling pathway. Benefiting from HSP70 and Mg2+ , MPMP-NIR shows HAS-mimicking activity to increase the intracellular (twofold) and extracellular (3.12-fold) HA production. Therefore, MPMP-NIR demonstrates superior spatiotemporally therapeutic effect on OA in mice model, in terms of osteophytes (83.41% of reduction), OARSI scores (88.57% of reduction), and ACAN expression (2.70-fold of increment). Hence, insights into dual-bionic nanozymes can be a promising strategy for OA therapy or other inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) belong to a group of highly conserved families of proteins expressed by all cells and organisms and their expression may be constitutive or inducible. They are generally considered as protective molecules against different types of stress and have numerous intracellular functions. Secretion or release of HSPs has also been described, and potential roles for extracellular HSPs reported. HSP expression is modulated by different stimuli involved in all steps of atherogenesis including oxidative stress, proteolytic aggression, or inflammation. Also, antibodies to HSPs may be used to monitor the response to different types of stress able to induce changes in HSP levels. In the present review, we will focus on the potential implication of HSPs in atherogenesis and discuss the limitations to the use of HSPs and anti-HSPs as biomarkers of atherothrombosis. HSPs could also be considered as potential therapeutic targets to reinforce vascular defenses and delay or avoid clinical complications associated with atherothrombosis.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc (IVD) cells within the annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) maintain distinct functional extracellular matrices and operate within a potentially noxious and stressful environment. How disc cells respond to stress and whether stress is responsible for triggering degeneration is unknown. Disc cell proliferation and cluster formation are most marked in degenerate IVDs, possibly indicating attempts at matrix repair. In other tissues, stress proteins increase rapidly after stress protecting cell function and, although implicated in degeneration of articular cartilage, have received little attention in degenerative IVD pathologies. We have compared the distribution of stress protein immunolocalization in pathological and control IVDs. Disc tissues were obtained at surgery from 43 patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and herniation, and 12 controls at postmortem. Tissues were immunostained with a polyclonal antibody for heat shock factor 1 (HSF-1) and monoclonal antibodies for the heat shock proteins, Hsp27 and Hsp72, using an indirect immunoperoxidase method. Positively stained cells were expressed as a percentage of the total. Cell cluster formation was also assessed. The proportion of cells in clusters was similar in the AF (both 2%) and NP (8 and 9%) of control and DDD samples, whereas in herniated tissues this was increased (AF 12%, NP 14%). Stress antigen staining tended to be more frequent in clustered rather than in single/doublet cells, and this was significant (P < 0.005) in both the AF and NP of herniated discs. Clustered cells, which are most common in herniated discs, may be mounting a protective response to abnormal environmental factors associated with disc degeneration. A better understanding of the stress response in IVD cells may allow its utilization in disc cell therapies.

Abstract
BAG-1, an anti-apoptotic protein, was identified by its ability to bind to BCL-2, HSP70-family molecular chaperones and nuclear hormone receptor family members. Two BAG-1 isoforms, BAG-1L (50 kDa) and BAG-1S (32 kDa) were identified in mouse cells and BAG-1 expression was reported in murine growth plate and articular chondrocytes. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of BAG-1 in the regulation of molecular mechanisms governing chondrocyte differentiation and turnover during endochondral ossification. In long bones of skeletally immature mice, we observed expression of BAG-1 in the perichondrium, osteoblasts, osteocytes in the bone shaft, bone marrow, growth plate and articular chondrocytes. Monolayer cultures of murine chondrocytic ATDC5 cells, which exhibited robust expression of both BAG-1 isoforms and the Bag-1 transcript, were utilized as an in vitro model to delineate the roles of BAG-1. Overexpression of BAG-1L in ATDC5 cells resulted in downregulation of Col2a1 expression, a gene characteristically downregulated at the onset of hypertrophy, and an increase in transcription of Runx-2 and Alkaline phosphatase, genes normally expressed at the onset of chondrocyte hypertrophy and cartilage mineralization in the process of endochondral ossification. We also demonstrated the anti-apoptotic role of BAG-1 in chondrocytes as overexpression of BAG-1 protected ATDC5 cells, which were subjected to heat-shock at 48 degrees C for 30 min, against heat-shock-induced apoptosis. Overexpression of the SOX-9 protein in ATDC5 cells resulted in increased Bag-1 gene expression. To further investigate the regulation of Bag-1 gene expression by SOX-9, CHO cells were co-transfected with the human Bag-1 gene promoter-Luciferase reporter construct and the human pSox-9 expression vector. Activity of the Bag-1 promoter was significantly enhanced by the SOX-9 protein. In conclusion, a novel finding of this study is the role of BAG-1 as a transcriptional regulator of genes involved in chondrocyte hypertrophy and cartilage mineralization during the process of endochondral ossification. Additionally, we have demonstrated for the first time the regulation of Bag-1 gene expression by SOX-9 and the anti-apoptotic role of BAG-1 in chondrocytic cells. Modulation of Bag-1 expression can therefore mediate chondrocyte differentiation and turnover, and offer further insight into the molecular regulation of endochondral ossification.

Abstract
Apoptosis is an essential physiological process in embryonic development. In the developing eye of vertebrates, three periods of developmental apoptosis can be distinguished: early, intermediate and later. Within the apoptosis pathway, caspases play a crucial role. It has also been shown that HSP110 may have a potential role in apoptosis. The aim of this research was to study the expression of HSP110, caspase-3 and -9 in physiological, retinoic- or irradiation-induced apoptosis during early eye development. Seven pregnant C57Bl/6J mice received 80 mg kg(-1) of all-trans retinoic acid mixed with sesame oil. Seven pregnant NMRI mice received 2 Gy irradiation at the same gestational day. Control mice of both strains (seven mice of each) were not submitted to any treatment. Embryos were harvested at 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after exposition, fixed, dehydrated and embedded. Coronal sections (5 microm) were made. Slide staining occurred alternatively using anti-caspase-3, anti-caspase-9 and anti-HSP110 immunohistochemistry. HSP110 and caspase-3 expression presented similar topographic and chronological patterns, whereas expression of HSP110 was more precocious in retinoic acid-treated embryos. After retinoic exposure, caspase-3- and HSP110-positive cells were increased in the region of the optic vesicle. By contrast, after irradiation, caspase-3- and HSP110-positive cells were noticeably increased in the optic vesicle, peri-optical mesoderm but less in lens placode. HSP110 was expressed before caspase-3. By contrast, caspase-9 was expressed by a very small number of cells in the optic vesicle either under physiological or under teratogenic conditions. Thus, it seems that activation of caspase-9 is dispensable in early eye developmental apoptosis.

Abstract
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is one of the most prevalent skeletal abnormalities in avian species, causing enormous economic losses and major animal welfare problems. Irregular cell differentiation of the chondrocytes that populate the growth plate has been hypothesized to be involved in the etiology of the disease. We evaluated the effect of incubation temperature at various stages of embryo development and bone formation on growth plate chondrocyte differentiation and the incidence of TD. Eggs were incubated either at a control temperature of 37.8 degrees C, or at 36.9 or 39 degrees C, each for 6 h/ d, during early (0 to 8 d) or late (10 to 18 d) embryo development. At 14 d of incubation and at hatch, tibias were collected and weighed, and their ash and calcium contents were determined. Growth plate chondrocyte differentiation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen type II and osteopontin gene expression. In addition, the level of the heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The rest of the chicks were raised to 49 d and the incidence of TD was recorded. The incidence of TD increased only when the temperature was altered at the early stages of embryo development, and it was correlated with an increase in tibia ash but not with tibia weight or calcium content. Moreover, increased TD incidence was correlated with delayed chondrocyte differentiation. Early changes in incubation temperature caused an increase in the level of Hsp90 in articular and differentiated chondrocytes of the hypertrophic zone and in the numbers of distinct undifferentiated chondrocytes arranged in columns in the proliferative zone of the growth plate. In summary, the early stages of embryo development and bone formation are of utmost importantance for appropriate growth plate chondrocyte differentiation, and any temperature deviation will increase the subsequent incidence of TD. The increase in TD incidence is probably the result of delayed Hsp90-driven chondrocyte differentiation, supporting the hypothesis that TD is the result of abnormal chondrocyte differentiation.

Abstract
In this study, the expression of HSP70 during experimental tooth movement was dynamically observed and the relationship between HSP70 and orthodontic periodontal tissue remodeling were observed. The orthodontic appliance was placed between the right maxillary first molar and maxillary central incisors of adult SD rats to establish a rat molar movement model. Immunohistochemistry was performed 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 day(s) after orthodontic force application to observe the expression and localization of inducible HSP70. The expression of HSP70 was strongly positive in the early stage of the tooth movement, became gradually less positive, and was weakly positive in the restoration stage. There was difference in staining pattern between different parts of PDL during the same period. These results suggest that the expression of HSP70 and difference in staining pattern among different parts of PDL during orthodontic tooth movement in rats may be implicated in stress response and remodeling of periodontal tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the expression and role of three proteins (HSP110, caspase-3 and caspase-9) during craniofacial development. DESIGN Seven pregnant C57Bl/6J mice received, by force-feeding at gestation day 9 (E9), 80 mg/kg of all-trans retinoic acid mixed to sesame oil. Seven pregnant NMRI mice received two grays irradiation at the same gestation day. Control mice of both strains (seven mice for each strain) were not submitted to any treatment. Embryos were obtained at various stages after exposition (3, 6, 12 and 24 h), fixed, dehydrated and embedded. Coronal sections (5 microm) were made. Slide staining occurred alternatively using anti-Hsp110, anti-caspase-3 and anti-caspase-9 immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Expression of HSP110, caspase-3 and caspase-9 was found in cells of well-known locations of programmed cell death. After retinoic acid exposure, expressions were increased especially in neural crest cells of mandibular and hyoid arches. Quantification of positive cells shows that caspase-9 and Hsp110 were expressed before caspase-3. After irradiation, the expression of the three proteins quickly increased with a maximum 3 h after irradiation. For all three models of apoptosis (physiological, retinoic-induced and irradiation-induced) HSP110 positive cells were more numerous than caspase-3 positive cells. Caspase-3 positive cells were more numerous than caspase-9 positive cells especially in mesectodermal irradiation-induced apoptotic cells. CONCLUSION The findings show a potential function of HSP110 in apoptosis during embryo development. Caspase-3-expressing cells are more numerous than cells expressing caspase-9, especially irradiation-induced apoptotic neural crest cells. This suggests that other caspases, still to be identified, may activate caspase-3 in this model.

Abstract
27 kDa Heat shock protein (Hsp27), which is also identified as p29 estrogen-receptor associated protein, plays a crucial role in specific growth stages. It also seems to be involved in the balance between differentiation and apoptosis. To determine whether Hsp27 is involved during craniofacial development and odontogenesis, its expression was studied through immunohistochemistry of developing jaw bone as well as the odontogenesis of heads from human fetuses. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens of 7 human fetuses (3 female, 4 male), obtained from miscarriages occurring between the 9th and 16th weeks of pregnancy, were examined by using a monoclonal antibody against Hsp27. Staining intensity (weak, +; moderate, ++; strong, +++) was evaluated semiquantitatively. The sample slice was cut through a coronal plane, which included eyes, nasal cavities, tongue, and primitive dental lamina with tooth germs. A transient and spatially restricted expression of Hsp27 in developing human jaw bones and teeth was observed. Osteoblasts around the uncalcified bone matrix showed Hsp27 immunoreaction products (+++), whereas osteocytes were not immunolabeled. In mandibular condyle, immunolabeling was restricted to hypertrophic chondrocytes (++). In developing tooth germs, Hsp27 immunostaining was detected throughout the bud (+++). At the early cap stage, a strong immunolabeling for Hsp27 was seen in the dental lamina (+++), and a moderate staining was seen in the outer dental epithelium (++). At the late cap stage, Hsp27 expression was detected in the outer dental epithelium (++) as well as in the cells of the future stellate reticulum (++). The spatiotemporal-restricted expression of Hsp27 in craniofacial bones during development suggests that this protein could be involved in the balance between differentiation and apoptosis, by modulating the viability of osteoblasts and chondrocytes. The specific regional and temporal expression patterns of Hsp27 during tooth development sustains that this small Hsp might be related to the morphogenesis and cytodifferentiation processes of tooth germs.

Abstract
A discondroplasia tibial (DT) é atribuída a uma assincronia no processo de diferenciação dos condrócitos, levando à formação de uma camada de condrócitos pré-hipertróficos e de uma cartilagem na tíbia proximal que não é calcificada, mas é resistente à invasão vascular. Além disso, tem sido proposto que, na discondroplasia tíbial, a etapa final do processo de calcificação não ocorre devido ao fato de que os efetores de alguns genes, relacionados com o mecanismo de calcificação do disco de crescimento podem apresentar algumas de suas propriedades químicas ou biológicas alteradas e/ou não serem expressos. Nesse sentido, a compreensão do mecanismo de ação e o papel das biomoléculas e dos minerais relacionados com a discondroplasia tibial poderão contribuir para o conhecimento de doenças do tecido ósseo e estabelecer estratégias de prevenção e tratamento.

Abstract
Bone is subjected to a variety of physiological, as well as cell-deforming biomechanical stresses, including hydrostatic compression and fluid flow. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that protect bone cells from mechanical, ischemic, or oxidative damage. Crystallins are 20 kD heat shock proteins that function as molecular chaperones. We tested the hypothesis that alpha B-crystallin (alphaB-crystallin), the most widely expressed vertebrate crystallin, is present in bone and osteoblast-like cells. Noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) were extracted from human demineralized bone matrix with 4 M guanidine HCI containing 0.5 M CaCl2 and protease inhibitors, defatted, dialyzed against 0.2% (v/v) Triton X-100 in 100 mM Tris-HCI (pH 7.2) and water, centrifuged, and lyophilized. The NCPs were separated by 2D IEF/SDS-PAGE. The two most abundant 20 kD spots, with apparent pIs of 7.85 and 7.42 in urea gels, were excised, subjected to matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and identified as alphaB-crystallins. Indirect immunofluorescence localized alphaB-crystallin to the interphase nucleus, cytoskeleton and cytoplasm of proliferating MC3T3-E1 mouse osteoblast-like cells, as well as the cytoskeleton and cytoplasm of confluent cells. In conclusion, alphaB-crystallin is present in bone and osteoblast-like cells. We hypothesize that alphaB-crystallin may play a role in protecting the osteoblast cytoskeleton from mechanical stress and may be important in modulating nuclear or cellular functions, such as transcription or apoptosis, as observed in other tissues.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN The lumbar intervertebral discs of 135 subjects after autopsy were immunostained with antihuman heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) monoclonal antibody and antihuman heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) polyclonal antibody. OBJECTIVES To present the data on metabolic changes that occurred in the chondrocytes of intervertebral discs during development and aging. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Heat shock proteins have been implicated in the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage in joint disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. However, the role and expression of heat shock proteins in human intervertebral discs have received little study. METHODS One hundred thirty-five specimens of human intervertebral discs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, alcian blue, and Masson's trichrome and were immunostained with HSP27 and HSP72 by an indirect immunoperoxidase method. The relative amounts of HSP27 and HSP72 deposition were graded according to a semiquantitative scoring system. RESULTS Heat shock protein 72 accumulated in the cytoplasm of the chondrocytes of both endplate cartilage and nucleus pulposus during gestation and thereafter decreased with aging (age, </=60 years), and HSP72 immunoreactivity increased in the chondrocytes of degenerative discs. In addition, HSP72 was located in the nuclei of certain chondrocytes of the degenerated nucleus pulposus and anulus fibrosus, was highly expressed in the chondrocytes of endplate cartilage during gestation and childhood, and thereafter decreased with aging. Furthermore, with the progressive degeneration of the endplate cartilage, HSP27 immunoreactivity increased. The degree of HSP27 immunoreactivity did not change significantly according to age in either the nucleus pulposus or the anulus fibrosus. CONCLUSIONS Heat shock protein 27 and HSP72 are thus considered to be useful molecular indicators for degenerative change in intervertebral discs. Both HSP27 and HSP72 are presumed to play a role in cell protection from stress that is induced by mechanical and biologic factors causing intervertebral disc degeneration.

Abstract
Stress proteins (heat shock proteins [hsps]) serve a number of protective functions, including protection from apoptosis and acting as chaperones during protein biosynthesis. For example, hsp 27 has been defined as a chaperone for the G3 domain of aggrecan, while hsp 47 is the chaperone for type I collagen. Separate cytoprotective roles for hsp 27 and hsp 70 have been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to define the expression of hsps in osteoblastic and chondrocytic cells of the growing rat long bone in relationship to the immunohistochemical localization of aggrecan, type I collagen and the presence of fragmented DNA that defines apoptotic events. Tibiae were harvested from Fisher 344 rats (n=6) and fixed in 10% buffered formalin. Samples were decalcified in 10% EDTA, bisected, and processed for histologic examination. Sections (5 mm) were immunohistochemically stained using a streptavidin-biotin detection method. Co-localization of hsps with apoptosis was achieved using the TUNEL procedure. In the rat tibia growth plate, aggrecan was generally distributed throughout cartilage and chondrocytes. However, hsp 27 expression was observed only in the lower hypertrophic chondrocytes. hsp27 was present in osteoblasts lining newly formed bone. hsp 47 staining was also prominent within these osteoblasts where collagen type I immunolocalization occurred. The inducible form of hsp 70 was localized to the osteoblastic cells lining new bone in the primary spongiosa. In cartilage, DNA fragmentation was restricted to the hypertrophic, hsp27-positive, chondrocytes. In contrast, DNA fragmentation was not co-localized with hsp27-positive osteoblastic cells of the primary spongiosa, although occasional apoptotic cells were identified. These results indicate that apoptosis is a mechanism by which hypertrophic chondrocytes are eliminated from cartilage prior to calcification, but that other mechanisms are also likely to be involved. They also suggest that hsps have cytoprotective and biosynthetic functions within osteoblasts and chondrocytes, but apoptotic signals may override these effects in some instances, resulting in apoptosis.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate a possible expression of different HSPs in rat's thymuses after hydrocortisone administration. The thymuses of 41 young rats (25 to 45 days age old) were studied immunocytochemically: 12 rats were not injected, 8 received an injection of physiological serum, and 21 received HC (125 mg/kg). HSP27, 70 and 110 expression was investigated following the PAP method. HSPs27 were expressed neither in normal thymic lobules nor in the cortical thymic cells after HC injection. HSPs70 were objectivated only in 1 control animal, but were frankly expressed in cortical thymic cells 1 to 48 hours after HC injection and remained significantly expressed until the 7th day after HC injection. HSPs 110 were present in only 1 control animal and appeared to be distinctly expressed 48 hours after HC injection. HSPs 70 and 110 were never expressed in the regenerated thymuses 14 and 21 days after HC injection. This report objectivates for the first time 70 and 110 kDa "stress proteins" expression during the thymic apoptosis induced by glucocorticoids.

Abstract
The expression of heat shock protein 25 (Hsp 25) was investigated in the rat temporomandibular joint by immunocytochemistry combined with confocal and electron microscopy. Immunostaining with an antibody to Hsp25 was able to demonstrate various cellular elements in the synovial membrane of the joint. Intense immunoreaction for Hsp25 was recognized in certain cells comprising the synovial lining layer. Confocal microscopic observation revealed two characteristic profiles of the Hsp25-positive cells with cytoplasmic processes: one extended thick and long processes towards the articular cavity, and the other prejected horizontally slender processes which covered the synovial membrane. Under the electron microscope, the immunoreactive synovial lining cells were characterized by a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and secretory granules, suggesting that they can be categorized as fibroblastic type B cells. The covering by the cytoplasmic extensions was confirmed by immuno-electron microscopic observations. This cytoplasmic covering presumably performs a barrier function and expedites the effective secretion/resorption of synovial fluids. Since it has been proposed that Hsp 25 is associated with an estrogen receptor, the immunopositive synovial lining cells were considered estrogen-target cells. Immunoreactivity for Hsp25 was also observed in the chondrocytes of the maturative and hypertrophic cell layers as well as in the cells of the articular disk. A suggestion was made that Hsp25 might be involved in the inhibition of apoptosis of those cells.

Abstract
Each globular domain of exported multiglobular proteins putatively undergoes chaperone surveillance in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. It is difficult to visualize how surveillance of multiple globular domains might be orchestrated and regulated. Aggrecan core protein has been used as a prototype for this problem by examining transfection of informative constructs into Chinese hamster ovary cells. The salient results are as follows: 1) aggrecan's N-terminal G1 domain is minimally secreted, and its flanking Golgi reporter sites are not decorated with glycsoaminoglycan chains; in contrast, its C-terminal G3 domain is readily secreted with flanking GAG chains, and G3 also facilitates G1 secretion; 2) G3 but not G1 can be intracellularly cross-linked to chaperone Hsp25; 3) G3 and Hsp25 remain noncovalently bound and are secreted together when G3 is situated N-terminal to its normal location; 4) exon 15, which encodes the center of G3's C-lectin subdomain, is necessary and sufficient for G3 secretion. A model is proposed in which Hsp25 piggybacks onto nascent G3 in the cytosol during a translocational pause and enters the ER lumen with G3, and once G3 properly folds, Hsp25 releases G3 and recycles to the nucleus while G3 continues to the Golgi stacks, providing passage for the entire core protein.
