Abstract
Understanding the cell molecular changes occurring as a results of climatic circumstances is crucial in the current days in which climate change and global warming are one of the most serious challenges that living organisms have to face. Sperm are one of the mammals’ cells most sensitive to heat, therefore evaluating the impact of seasonal changes in terms of its transcriptional activity can contribute to elucidate how these cells cope with heat stress events. We sequenced the total sperm RNA from 64 ejaculates, 28 collected in summer and 36 collected in autumn, from 40 Manchega rams. A highly rich transcriptome (11,896 different transcripts) with 90 protein coding genes that exceed an average number of 5000 counts were found. Comparing transcriptome in the summer and autumn ejaculates, 236 significant differential abundance genes were assessed, most of them (228) downregulated. The main functions that these genes are related to sexual reproduction and negative regulation of protein metabolic processes and kinase activity. Sperm response to heat stress supposes a drastic decrease of the transcriptional activity, and the upregulation of only a few genes related with the basic functions to maintain the organisms’ homeostasis and surviving. Rams’ spermatozoids carry remnant mRNAs which are retrospectively indicators of events occurring along the spermatogenesis process, including abiotic factors such as environmental temperature.

Abstract
The induction of stress proteins was studied in two human and two murine melanoma cell lines. Exposure for 1 h to heat (42 °C), to ethanol (6%), to arsenate (100 μM) and to disulfiram (50 μM) induced the expression of SPs with apparent molecular weights of 100, 86, 70-72 and 24-26 Kd. Quantitation of the single SPs indicated that the basal level as well as the enhanced synthesis following the various stressors were different in each cell line. The induction of the 100 Kd species occurred in only one murine melanoma and not in the others. The 86 and in particular the 70-72 Kd species were the most prominent groups, whereas the 24-26 SPs were induced only following arsenate and disulfiram exposure in the three melanoma cell lines. In one of the murine melanomas, the expression of SPs was markedly reduced compared to the other cell lines. No definite specific patterns of SP expression could be identified in tumors of the same histologic type.

Abstract
Two human melanoma cell lines, largely different from one another in their intrinsic thermosensitivity, were exposed to supranormal temperatures and labeled with 35S-methionine. The protein patterns resolved by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed in both cell lines an increased synthesis of a unique set of heat shock proteins (HSP) of 72 Kdalton (KD). Already evident after 15 min at 42 °C, the relative rate of synthesis of these HSP increased progressively for up to 3 h of continous heat treatment. The cells exposed for 1 h at 42 °C and then returned to 37 °C maintained a high relative rate of HSP synthesis for more than 6 h. The rate of decay of the neosynthesized HSP did not differ from that of the overall cell proteins. Since in both cell lines all the parameters concerning HSP induction were identical, no correlation can be established between their intrinsic sensitivity towards the conditioning treatment and the capacity to respond to heat treatment with an increased synthesis of these proteins.

Abstract
Heat-related complications continue to be a major health concern for humans and animals and lead to potentially life-threatening conditions. Heat stress (HS) alters metabolic parameters and may alter glucose metabolism and insulin signaling. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which 12 h of HS-altered energetic metabolism in oxidative skeletal muscle. To address this, crossbred gilts (n = 8/group) were assigned to one of three environmental treatments for 12 h: thermoneutral (TN; 21 °C), HS (37 °C), or pair-fed to HS counterparts but housed in TN conditions (PFTN). Following treatment, animals were euthanized and the semitendinosus red (STR) was recovered. Despite increased relative protein abundance of the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS1) phosphorylation was increased (P = 0.0005) at S307, an inhibitory site, and phosphorylated protein kinase B (AKT) (S473) was decreased (P = 0.03) likely serving to impair insulin signaling following 12 h of HS. Further, HS increased phosphorylated protein kinase C (PKC) ζ/λ (P = 0.02) and phosphorylated PKCδ/θ protein abundance (P = 0.02), which are known to regulate inhibitory serine phosphorylation of IRS1 (S307). Sarcolemmal glucose transporter 4 (Glut4) was decreased (P = 0.04) in the membrane fraction of HS skeletal muscle suggesting diminished glucose uptake capacity. HS-mediated increases (P = 0.04) in mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) were not accompanied by phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1). HS decreased (P = 0.0006) glycogen synthase (GS) and increased (P = 0.02) phosphorylated GS suggesting impaired glycogen synthesis. In addition, HS altered fatty acid metabolic signaling by increasing (P = 0.02) Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), decreasing (P = 0.005) phosphorylated ATP-citrate lyase (pATPCL) and fatty acid synthase (P = 0.01) (FAS). These data suggest that 12 h of HS blunted insulin signaling, decreased protein synthesis, and altered glycogen and fatty acid metabolism.

Abstract
The members of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) family are molecular chaperones that play major roles in development, stress responses, and diseases, and have been envisioned as targets for therapy, particularly in cancer. The molecular mechanisms that regulate their transcription, in normal, stress, or pathological conditions, are characterized by extreme complexity and subtlety. Although historically linked to the heat shock transcription factors (HSFs), the stress-induced or developmental expression of the diverse members, including HSPB1/Hsp27/Hsp25, αA-crystallin/HSPB4, and αB-crystallin/HSPB5, relies on the combinatory effects of many transcription factors. Coupled with remarkably different cis-element architectures in the sHsp regulatory regions, they confer to each member its developmental expression or stress-inducibility. For example, multiple regulatory pathways coordinate the spatio-temporal expression of mouse αA-, αB-crystallin, and Hsp25 genes during lens development, through the action of master genes, like the large Maf family proteins and Pax6, but also HSF4. The inducibility of Hsp27 and αB-crystallin transcription by various stresses is exerted by HSF-dependent mechanisms, by which concomitant induction of Hsp27 and αB-crystallin expression is observed. In contrast, HSF-independent pathways can lead to αB-crystallin expression, but not to Hsp27 induction. Not surprisingly, deregulation of the expression of sHSP is associated with various pathologies, including cancer, neurodegenerative, or cardiac diseases. However, many questions remain to be addressed, and further elucidation of the developmental mechanisms of sHsp gene transcription might help to unravel the tissue- and stage-specific functions of this fascinating class of proteins, which might prove to be crucial for future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Hsp27, αB-crystallin and HSP22 are ubiquitous small heat shock proteins (sHsp) whose expression is induced in response to a wide variety of unfavorable physiological and environmental conditions. These sHsp protect cells from otherwise lethal conditions mainly by their involvement in cell death pathways such as necrosis, apoptosis or autophagy. At a molecular level, the mechanisms accounting for sHsp functions in cell death are (1) prevention of denatured proteins aggregation, (2) regulation of caspase activity, (3) regulation of the intracellular redox state, (4) function in actin polymerization and cytoskeleton integrity and (5) proteasome-mediated degradation of selected proteins. In cancer cells, these sHsp are often overexpressed and associated with increased tumorigenicity, cancer cells metastatic potential and resistance to chemotherapy. Altogether, these properties suggest that Hsp27, αB-crystallin and Hsp22 are appropriate targets for modulating cell death pathways. In the present, we briefly review recent reports showing molecular evidence of cell death regulation by these sHsp and co-chaperones. This article is part of a Directed Issue entitled: Small HSPs in physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Modern classification of the family of human small heat shock proteins (the so-called HSPB) is presented, and the structure and properties of three members of this family are analyzed in detail. Ubiquitously expressed HSPB1 (HSP27) is involved in the control of protein folding and, when mutated, plays a significant role in the development of certain neurodegenerative disorders. HSPB1 directly or indirectly participates in the regulation of apoptosis, protects the cell against oxidative stress, and is involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton. HSPB6 (HSP20) also possesses chaperone-like activity, is involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction, has pronounced cardioprotective activity, and seems to participate in insulin-dependent regulation of muscle metabolism. HSPB8 (HSP22) prevents accumulation of aggregated proteins in the cell and participates in the regulation of proteolysis of unfolded proteins. HSPB8 also seems to be directly or indirectly involved in regulation of apoptosis and carcinogenesis, contributes to cardiac cell hypertrophy and survival and, when mutated, might be involved in development of neurodegenerative diseases. All small heat shock proteins play important "housekeeping" roles and regulate many vital processes; therefore, they are considered as attractive therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins are molecular chaperones that have an ability to protect proteins from damage induced by environmental factors such as free radicals, heat, ischaemia and toxins, allowing denatured proteins to adopt their native configuration. Heat shock protein-27 (Hsp27) is a member of the small Hsp (sHsp) family of proteins, and has a molecular weight of approximately 27 KDa. In addition to its role as a chaperone, it has also been reported to have many additional functions. These include effects on the apoptotic pathway, cell movement and embryogenesis. In this review, we have focused on its possible role in vascular disease.

Abstract
To better understand the effect of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) copolymer in improving the biocompatibility of segmented polyurethane (SPU), the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) mRNA in HeLa S3 cells adhered on SPU blended with MPC copolymers was measured. Conventionally, MPC copolymers (PMEH) were synthesized by changing the feed ratios of MPC and 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of the SPU/PMEH film indicated that the surface concentration of MPC units on the SPU/PMEH film increased with an increase in PMEH composition. HeLa S3 cells were cultured on SPU/PMEH films. The number of adherent cells on the SPU/PMEH films decreased with an increase in the concentration of PMEH. When the PMEH composition was greater than 0.5 wt %, cell adhesion and proliferation decreased markedly. Expressions of HSP27 and HSP47 mRNA were detected using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). After incubation for 24 h, both the HSP mRNA expressions in the HeLa S3 cells showed no significant differences among all samples. In HeLa S3 cells that adhered to the SPU film for 48 h, the expressions of HSP27 and HSP47 mRNA increased significantly when compared with those incubated for 24 h. In contrast, the two kinds of mRNA expressions decreased in the HeLa S3 cells that adhered to the SPU/PMEH films for 48 h. From these results, we concluded that PMEH was quite important in suppressing the stress response of adherent HeLa S3 cells. Therefore, SPU/PMEH blend polymers are useful as implantable biomedical materials.

Abstract
Many cellular mRNAs contain internal ribosomal entry sites (IRES) that become functional under conditions of cellular stress, when the rate of protein synthesis for most cellular mRNA is reduced. Internal ribosomal entry increases in response to hypoxia, cell differentiation, apoptosis, gamma irradiation, and heat shock. Heat shock is the principal cellular stress in which general cap-dependent translation is inhibited. On the other hand, heat shock induces the preferential translation of a small class of mRNA, called heat shock protein (HSP) mRNAs, which probably occurs because little or no eIF4F activity is required for their translation. In this study, we found that continuous heat stress enhances expression of the heat shock protein BiP at the level of translation. Interestingly, heat stress also enhanced the viral IRES-dependent translation of encephalomyocarditis virus and hepatitis C virus but not poliovirus. Although several BiP inducers increased BiP protein expression, BiP IRES-dependent translation was enhanced only during heat shock, suggesting that heat shock is a specific inducer for BiP IRES-dependent translation. Taken together, these results indicate that the mechanism of IRES-dependent translation can be used during heat shock and suggest that this translational mechanism may be critical to the survival and proliferation of cells under stress.

Abstract
The stress-activated protein kinase 2 (SAPK2/p38) is activated by various environmental stresses and also by a vast array of agonists including growth factors and cytokines. This implies the existence of multiple proximal signaling pathways converging to the SAPK2/p38 activation cascade. Here, we show that there is a sensing mechanism highly specific to heat shock for activation of SAPK2/p38. After mild heat shock, cells became refractory to reinduction of the SAPK2/p38 pathway by a second heat shock. This was not the result of a toxic effect because the cells remained fully responsive to reinduction by other stresses, cytokines, or growth factors. Neither the activity of SAPK2/p38 itself nor the accumulation of the heat shock proteins was essential in the desensitization process. The cells were not desensitized to heat shock by other treatments that activated SAPK2/p38. Moreover, inhibiting SAPK2/p38 activity during heat shock did not block desensitization. Also, overexpression of HSP70, HSP27, or HSP90 by gene transfection did not cause desensitization, and inhibiting their synthesis after heat shock did not prevent desensitization. Desensitization rather appeared to be linked closely to the turnover of a putative upstream activator of SAPK2/p38. Cycloheximide induced a progressive and eventually complete desensitization. The effect was specific to heat shock and minimally affected activation by other stress inducers. Inhibiting protein degradation with MG132 caused the constitutive activation of SAPK2/p38, which was blocked by a pretreatment with either cycloheximide or heat shock. The results thus indicate that there is a sensing pathway highly specific to heat shock upstream of SAPK2/p38 activation. The pathway appears to involve a short lived protein that is the target of rapid successive up- and down-regulation by heat shock.

Abstract
The cellular response to hyperthermia involves the increased synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) within several hours after treatment. In addition, a subset of proteins has been shown to be increased immediately after heating. These "prompt" HSPs are predominantly found in the nuclear matrix-intermediate filament fraction and are not present or detectable in unheated cells. Since the nuclear matrix has been suggested to be a target for heat-induced cell killing, prompt HSPs may play a prominent role in the heat shock response. Using Western blotting and flow cytometry, we found that an increase in the synthesis of lamin B, one of the major proteins of the nuclear lamina, is induced during heating at 45.5 degrees C but not during heating at 42 degrees C. Since it is an abundant protein which is constitutively expressed in mammalian cells, lamin B appears to be a unique member of the prompt HSP family. The kinetics of induction of lamin B during 45.5 degrees C heating did not correlate with the dose-dependent reduction in cell survival. While increased levels of lamin B during 45.5 degrees C heating do not appear to confer a survival advantage directly, a possible role for lamin B in cellular recovery after heat shock cannot be discounted.

Abstract
Activin has been known as the hormone protein which regulates either cell proliferation or cell differentiation. Recently, it has also been reported that activin may have cell survival function. In this study, we have investigated, 1) the expression of inhibin subunits and activin receptors (ActRs) in ovarian carcinoma cell line (OVCAR3), 2) the binding property between activin and its receptors under the exposure to stress, and 3) the effect of activin on cell proliferation. All of inhibin subunits and ActR Ia, IIa and IIb mRNA were amplified by RT-PCR in OVCAR3. By Western blot analysis, ActR IIa and IIb proteins were detected. The binding property between activin and ActRs was analyzed with the fixed complex, using chemical cross linker. The bigger molecular weight signals, which had been shown to form the heterotrimeric complex among activin, ActR type I and ActR type II were detected after cross linking. These upper signals were apparently increased by rh-Activin and decreased by rh-Follistatin. Therefore, it was suggested that they were resultant from activin and Act-R complex. OVCAR3 was exposed to the stress (42C, 1 hour heat shock), the protein level of ActR IIa increased and ActR IIb decreased from about 3 h to 24 h after the exposure to the heat stress (HS). On the other hand, the complex between activin and ActR IIa and IIb increased from 3 h after the exposure to HS. To investigate the effect of activin and follistatin on OVCAR3 proliferation after the exposure to HS, we counted the cell number at 96 h after the treatment with activin or follistatin in the condition either with or without HS. Proliferation of the cell in the presence of HS was stimulated by rh-Activin and inhibited by rh-Follistatin. These data suggest that activin might have the function to survive and to proliferate OVCAR3, due to, at least in part the increase in its binding capacity to ActRs through either autocrine or paracrine manner.

Abstract
Muscle cells are frequently subjected to severe conditions caused by heat, oxidative, and mechanical stresses. The small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) such as alphaB-crystallin and HSP27, which are highly expressed in muscle cells, have been suggested to play roles in maintaining myofibrillar integrity against such stresses. Here, we identified a novel member of the sHSP family that associates specifically with myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK). This DMPK-binding protein, MKBP, shows a unique nature compared with other known sHSPs: (a) In muscle cytosol, MKBP exists as an oligomeric complex separate from the complex formed by alphaB-crystallin and HSP27. (b) The expression of MKBP is not induced by heat shock, although it shows the characteristic early response of redistribution to the insoluble fraction like other sHSPs. Immunohistochemical analysis of skeletal muscle cells shows that MKBP localizes to the cross sections of individual myofibrils at the Z-membrane as well as the neuromuscular junction, where DMPK has been suggested to be concentrated. In vitro, MKBP enhances the kinase activity of DMPK and protects it from heat-induced inactivation. These results suggest that MKBP constitutes a novel stress-responsive system independent of other known sHSPs in muscle cells and that DMPK may be involved in this system by being activated by MKBP. Importantly, since the amount of MKBP protein, but not that of other sHSP family member proteins, is selectively upregulated in skeletal muscle from DM patients, an interaction between DMPK and MKBP may be involved in the pathogenesis of DM.

Abstract
A mathematical model of the regulation process of the heat shock protein hsp70 in the cell is presented. The model describes the damaging effect of elevated temperature on proteins; the interaction of free hsp70 with injured proteins and its chaperone role in nascent protein translation; the relation between the amount of free hsp70 and the formation of the activated trimer form of the heat shock factor protein (HSF); the binding of activated HSF with the heat shock elements on the DNA; the transcription of mRNA of hsp70 and the synthesis of hsp70. The reaction of the model to a temporal rise in temperature shows an initial decline and a subsequent sharp rise to an ultimately increased level of free hsp70 in the cell. The response of the model to both a single and two consecutive heat shocks appears to closely resemble experimental data on hsp70 synthesis. This general agreement demonstrates the structure of the model to be sound and suitable as a basis for further modelling the complex tolerance mechanism of the cell.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of herbimycin A, a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic, on the pattern of gene expression in amphibians. Exposure of Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells to 1 µg/mL herbimycin A induced the synthesis of the heat shock proteins hsp30 and hsp70 as well as 33- and 45-kDa proteins. Enhanced synthesis of a 34-kDa protein appears to be specific to herbimycin A because its synthesis did not increase after heat shock (35°C). In addition, the synthesis of hsp30 and hsp70 induced by herbimycin A was accompanied by an increase in their mRNAs. Herbimycin A induced a transient accumulation of hsp30 and hsp70 mRNA, which peaked between 4 and 6 h. Finally, concurrent treatment of cells with 0.5 µg/mL herbimycin A and a mild heat shock of 27°C yielded a synergistic accumulation of hsp30 and hsp70 mRNA. These studies demonstrate that herbimycin A can induce the expression of a set of stress proteins in amphibians and that concurrent treatment with herbimycin A and mild heat shock has a synergistic effect on the accumulation of hsp30 and hsp70 mRNA. Key words: heat shock, heat shock proteins, Xenopus, herbimycin A, mRNA.

Abstract
Various factors are involved in the heat shock-induced inhibition of protein synthesis. Changes upon heat shock in phosphorylation, leading to inactivation, of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) eIF2 and eIF4E have been shown for several cell types. However, in mammalian cells these changes occur at temperatures of 43 degrees C or higher while protein synthesis is already affected at milder heat shock temperatures. In searching for the cause for the inhibition of protein synthesis, the regulation of eIF2 and eIF4E by additional factors was analyzed. In this respect, the activity of eIF2B was measured during and after heat shock. A very clear correlation was found between the activity of this guanine exchange factor and the levels of protein synthesis, also at mild heat shock conditions. Changes in the phosphorylation of eIF4E and of the eIF4E-binding protein PHAS-I were also analyzed. Surprisingly, in H35 cells as well as in some other cell lines, PHAS-I phosphorylation was increased by heat shock, whereas in others it was decreased. Therefore, decreasing the eIF4E availability under stressful conditions does not seem to be a general mechanism to inhibit protein synthesis by heat shock. Regulation of eIF2B activity appears to be the main mechanism to control translation initiation after heat shock at mild temperatures.

Abstract
Members of the low molecular weight heat shock protein (hsp) family show regulated expression in both Drosophila and mice during development and differentiation. Here we have examined whether similar regulation of the single low molecular weight hsp (hsp 28) of humans exhibits differences in either its expression and/or phosphorylation during the course of in vitro differentiation of hematopoietic cells. In the promyelocytic leukemic cell line, HL-60, we show that early after commitment of the cells to a macrophage-like phenotype (via exposure to phorbol ester myristate, PMA) there occurs an accompanying increased phosphorylation of hsp 28. Over time and as the cells become terminally differentiated the levels of hsp 28 increase significantly. In contrast, cells stimulated to adopt a granulocyte-like phenotype (e.g. exposed to either dimethyl sulfoxide or retinoic acid) show no changes in either the phosphorylation or expression of hsp 28. Moreover, once differentiated the granulocyte-like cells no longer appear capable of phosphorylating hsp 28. Human K562 cells, in response to hemin, rapidly increase their expression and phosphorylation of hsp 28 during the course of their differentiation into erythroid-like cells. Addition of PMA to the K562 cells induces differentiation into a megakaryocyte-like phenotype but is not accompanied by changes in hsp 28 phosphorylation/expression. In the case of the HL-60 cells, differentiation toward the macrophage like lineage is accompanied by an increased adherence of the cells to their substratum and an apparent association of hsp 28 with the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
All organisms from bacteria to man respond to an exposure to higher than physiological temperatures by reprogramming their gene expression, leading to the increased synthesis of a unique set of proteins termed heat shock proteins (hsps). The hsps function as molecular chaperones in both normal and stressed cells. The rapid and efficient synthesis of hsps is achieved as a result of changes occurring at gene transcription, RNA processing and degradation, and mRNA translation. With regard to the translational regulation, the emerging picture is that the two key steps of polypeptide chain initiation, namely mRNA binding and Met-tRNA(i) binding to ribosomes, are regulated in heat-shocked mammalian cells. In Drosophila, mRNA binding is regulated by a structural feature of the leader of heat shock mRNAs and by the inactivation of eukaryotic initiation factor- (eIF-) 4F. No clear evidence for changes in Met-tRNA(i) binding has been obtained yet.

Abstract
Heat shock inhibits translation in a wide variety of cells. After heating, eukaryotic initiation factor 2-alpha (eIF-2 alpha) becomes phosphorylated which prevents the binding of Met-tRNA to the 40s ribosomal subunit inhibiting initiation of translation. Thermotolerant cells demonstrate resistance to inhibition of translation by additional heating suggesting that heat shock proteins may help to maintain translational integrity following thermal stress. Here we have examined the effects of increased intracellular levels of hsp70 protein on translation and eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation using rat fibroblasts stably transfected with a cloned human hsp70 gene. We observed a decrease in the rate of translational inhibition following heat shock in both hsp70-transfected and thermotolerant cells. Upon recovery at 37 degrees C, both hsp70-transfected and thermotolerant cells exhibit a faster rate of translational recovery. Utilizing slab gel isoelectric focusing coupled with immunoblotting we demonstrate that 45 degrees C heat shock leads to a rapid 4-5-fold increase in eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation, with little difference seen between control cells and hsp70-transfected cells. However, dephosphorylation of eIF-2 alpha occurs faster in the hsp70-transfected cells. These results suggest that hsp70 may play a role in facilitating the dephosphorylation of eIF-2 alpha as well as reversing the inhibition of translation following heat shock.

Abstract
The role of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and protein kinases in the hsp70 induction following heat shock was investigated in cultured rat proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells. Changes in [Ca2+]i were measured by digital imaging fluorescence microscopy using fura 2. Steady state levels of hsp70 mRNA were examined by either Northern or dot blot analyses. [Ca2+]i increased within 10 minutes and continued to increase following heat shock. The increases in [Ca2+]i were reduced in nominally Ca(2+)-free media with or without EGTA. [Ca2+]i also increased within 0.5 minutes following ionomycin, but then declined to normal levels by 1.0 to 1.5 minutes. Heat shock induced hsp70 mRNA within 15 minutes, which continued to increase up to three hours. Ionomycin also induced hsp70 mRNA, which peaked at 30 minutes, and gradually decreased thereafter. The hsp70 induction following heat shock was attenuated when extracellular Ca2+ was reduced. Chelation of [Ca2+]i by quin-2 also reduced the hsp70 induction. Inhibitors of protein kinases, 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), calphostin C, genistein, and 2-aminopurine, also had inhibitory effects on the hsp70 induction. In contrast, a calmodulin inhibitor, chlorpromazine, had little effect. These results suggest that heat shock increases [Ca2+]i in rat PTE cells and that [Ca2+]i and protein kinases are involved in the hsp70 induction following heat shock.

Abstract
The nonideal properties of solutions containing high concentrations of macromolecules can result in enormous increases in the activity of the individual macromolecules. It has been proposed that molecular crowding and confinement occur in cells and are major determinants of the activity of the proteins and other intracellular macromolecules. This concept has important implications for cell volume regulation because, under crowded conditions, relatively small changes in concentration, consequent to alterations of water content, lead to large changes in macromolecular activity. This review considers several aspects of macromolecular crowding and confinement, including: 1) the physical chemical principles involved; 2) in vitro demonstrations of the effects; 3) relation to water activity; 4) estimates of the actual intracellular activity of water and macromolecules; 5) relation to osmotic regulation in various types of cells, including bacteria, red blood cells, and complex nucleated cells; and 6) the relation to inorganic ions and organic osmolytes in cells stressed by hypertonicity. We conclude that, while there is compelling evidence for important effects of molecular crowding in vitro and in red blood cells, the role of macromolecular crowding and confinement in osmotic regulation of more complex cells is an open question that deserves the extensive attention it is currently receiving.

Abstract
We present evidence that the mechanisms controlling induction of heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) and mRNA expression of the 27,000 molecular weight heat shock protein, hsp27, are diverse in human breast cancer cells. Heat shock accumulation of hsp27 RNA is associated with the activation of HSF in MDA-MB-231 cells. We have later passage MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines with elevated, constitutive expression of hsp27 mRNA, perhaps due to hsp27 gene amplification. Estradiol and heat shock treatment no longer affect the level of hsp27 mRNA in these cells. Heat induction of HSF is inhibited in cells overexpressing hsp27, although metal ions and amino acid analogs are still capable of activating HSF. These cells will provide a useful system for characterizing alternative pathways in HSF inhibition and activation.

Abstract
Regulation of translation during heat shock of Drosophila and mammalian cells is reviewed. Protein synthesis is severely inhibited by elevated temperatures but synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is resistant to this inhibition. The primary site of regulation is polypeptide chain initiation. The activities of two initiation factors, eIF-2 and eIF-4F, are modulated during heat shock. A protein kinase which modulates eIF-2 activity appears to be associated with heat shock proteins (HSPs). Evidence is emerging that HSP70 acts as a heat sensor by detecting the presence of accumulating denatured proteins. In the rabbit reticulocyte lysate denatured proteins bind HSP70 releasing an eIF-2 kinase to shut down protein synthesis. It appears highly likely that a similar mechanism is acting in heat shocked cells. Cell-free protein synthesizing systems prepared from heat shocked cells are deficient in eIF-4F. Modulation of eIF-4F can explain in part the apparent preferential translation of HSP mRNAs.

Abstract
A genomic clone of the murine gene encoding the small heat-shock protein, Hsp25, was isolated. The coding region is interrupted by two introns of 128 bp and approximately 600 bp at identical positions as the human hsp27 gene. The 5' flanking regions of the mouse and human genes are very strongly conserved and contain several sequence motives for the transcription factors, HSF and Sp1. In the same screen we also isolated a hsp25 pseudogene. The sequence conservation between this pseudogene and hsp25 cDNA is very high (99%) indicating that this pseudogene emerged very recently.

Abstract
We used a nuclear run-on assay as a novel approach to study the changes in transcriptional activity that take place in Drosophila melanogaster during heat shock. In response to a rapid temperature upshift, total transcriptional activity in cultured KC161 cells decreased proportionally to the severity of the shock. After extended stress at 37 degrees C (15 min or more), transcription was severely reduced, and at 39 degrees C most transcription was instantaneously arrested. However, strikingly different responses were observed for individual genes. Transcription of histone H1 genes was severely inhibited even under mild heat shock conditions. Transcription of the actin 5C gene decreased progressively with increasing temperature, while transcription of the core histone genes or of the heat shock cognate genes was repressed only under severe heat shock conditions. Transcriptional activation of the D. melanogaster heat shock genes was also investigated. In unshocked cells, hsp84 was moderately transcribed, while transcriptional activity at the other protein-coding heat shock genes was undetectable (less than 0.2 polymerases per gene). Engaged but paused RNA polymerase molecules were found at the hsp70 and hsp26 genes, but not at the other heat shock genes. The rates of transcription increased with increasing temperature with a peak of expression at around 35 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, induction was less efficient, and no induction was achieved after a rapid shift to 39 degrees C. Increased transcription of the heat shock genes was observed within 1-2 min of heat shock, and maximal rates were reached within 2-5 min. Despite very similar profiles of response, different heat shock genes were transcribed at strikingly different rates, which varied over a 20-fold range. The noncoding heat shock locus 93D was transcribed at a very high rate under non-heat shock conditions, and showed a transcriptional response to elevated temperatures different from that of protein-coding heat shock genes. An estimation of the absolute rates of transcription at different temperatures was obtained.

Abstract
Stress induces the synthesis of several large and small heat shock proteins (hsp's). Two related small hsp's, hsp25 and alpha B crystallin exist in mice. alpha B crystallin is an abundant protein in several tissues even in the absence of stress. Particularly high amounts accumulate in the eye lens. Here we show that hsp25 is likewise constitutively expressed in many normal adult tissues. In the absence of stress the protein is most abundant in the eye lens, heart, stomach, colon, lung, and bladder. The stress-independent expression pattern of the two small hsp's is distinct. In several tissues the amount of hsp25 exceeds that accumulating in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts in response to heat stress. hsp25, like alpha B crystallin, exists in a highly aggregated form in the eye lens. The expression of hsp25 and alpha B crystallin in normal tissues suggests an essential, but distinct function of the two related proteins under standard physiological conditions.

Abstract
A protein carboxyl methyltransferase (PCMT), which specifically modifies atypical protein L-isoaspartyl and D-aspartyl residues, is widely distributed in eucaryotic cells, but the factors that regulate its activity in vivo have not been identified. It has been proposed that the PCMT initiates the repair of structurally damaged proteins. To test the possibility that the concentration of structurally abnormal cellular proteins affects PCMT activity, protein carboxyl methylation reactions were studied in HeLa cells exposed to various stresses that increase the extent of protein unfolding in cells. Protein carboxyl methylation rates increased 70-80% during incubations at 42 degrees C and remained elevated for periods of up to 8 hr. This sustained increase was greater than that predicted from thermal effects on the enzyme alone and may reflect the exposure of atypical aspartyl sites as proteins unfold as well as increased rates of protein deamidation and isomerization at elevated temperatures. Methylation rates showed no increases following 12 hr incubations with the amino acid analogs L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid or L-canavanine. Northern blot analysis of RNA preparations from control and stressed cells revealed three major transcripts for the PCMT in HeLa cells, which are 1.6, 2.6, and 4.5 kb in length. The concentrations of all three transcripts decreased by approximately 20% from control levels during heat shock. No changes in PCMT transcript concentrations were observed during incubation with the amino acid analogs. By contrast, large increases in the concentrations of hsp70 and ubiquitin transcripts were observed following either heat or chemical stresses. The results demonstrate that the PCMT is a constitutive component of cells whose function is required under normal conditions as well as during stress conditions, which accelerate structural damage to cellular proteins.

Abstract
In this paper we describe a 160-kDa protein (p160) which is present in the nuclear matrix of rat, mouse, and human cells. Biochemical and ultrastructural analysis shows that p160 is associated with the internal matrix and is not present in the lamina-pore complex. Immunoelectron microscopy shows that the protein is part of the extranucleolar, fibrogranular network of the nuclear matrix. During an in vivo 42 degrees C heat treatment of HeLa cells, A431 human epidermoid cells, and T24 human bladder carcinoma cells, p160 transiently formed large clusters inside the nucleus. These p160 clusters are associated with the nuclear matrix network, as judged by immunolabeling on isolated nuclear matrices. The percentage of cells showing p160 clusters increased proportionally with longer heat treatments, reaching a maximum after a period of 3 h. At this time 70 +/- 5% of the cells displayed these clusters. Clustering decreased after longer heat treatments and the anti-p160 staining pattern became diffuse granular again. Other nuclear components, such as the A1 antigen of hnRNP (ribonucleoprotein), the Sm antigen of snRNPs, and lamins A and C, did not cluster during the 42 degrees C treatment, indicating that this reallocation is characteristic for the p160 matrix protein. These results demonstrate that p160 is an internal nuclear matrix element with a dynamic spatial distribution.

Abstract
Previous study of rat liver during chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis has shown that expression of isoforms of the 27-kD heat-shock protein was greater in neoplastic nodules and in hepatocellular carcinoma than in control livers. In this study, various human neoplastic and nonneoplastic liver tissues were investigated with electrophoresis after amino acid labeling to evaluate the expression of 27-kD heat-shock protein isoforms. This revealed that human liver contains 27-kD proteins that are recognized by a polyclonal antibody raised against human 27-kD heat-shock protein. Basal levels of fluorographical and immunostaining intensity of the 27-kD heat-shock protein spots (respectively, after [3H]leucine or 32P incorporation or as checked with a specific human 27-kD heat-shock protein antibody) were higher in hepatomas than in non-tumorous liver. Phosphorylation patterns of the 27-kD heat-shock protein isoforms were, however, similar in hepatocellular carcinoma and in uninvolved surrounding liver. Heat inducibility of the 27-kD heat-shock protein, tested in one case of liver cell adenoma and in the surrounding liver, was also preserved in both tissues. The role of the overexpression of 27-kD heat-shock protein in neoplastic liver tissues remains unknown. We propose, as a working hypothesis, that it is related to the resistant phenotype acquired by some tumors during malignant progression.

Abstract
The murine temperature-sensitive cell-cycle mutant, ts85, shows an abnormal induction of heat-shock proteins which is different from the wild type FM3A cells. This paper explores the effect of culture temperature on the expression of heat shock proteins in ts85 cells. When ts85 cells were maintained at 33 or 37 degrees C, these cells synthesized heat-shock protein (hsp) 70 following continuous heating at 39 degrees C or subsequent incubation after heating at 42 degrees C for 15 min. In contrast, these conditions are not conducive for hsp70 synthesis by FM3A cells. Moreover, ts85 cells which were maintained at 37 degrees C synthesized hsp70 following continuous heating at 42 degrees C or subsequent incubation after heating at 45 degrees C for 15 min. The synthesis of hsp70 in these cells corresponded to an increased level of hsp70 mRNA. Furthermore, the constitutive hsp105 level of cells maintained at 33 degrees C was only half of that of cells which were maintained at 37 degrees C, and cells maintained at 33 degrees C were more sensitive to subsequent heat treatment than those maintained at 37 degrees C. These results indicate that culture temperature not only affects the induction of hsp70 mRNA, but also cellular levels of hsp105 and the resulting thermal sensitivity of ts85 cells. These findings suggest that the other phenotypic characteristic of the mutant ts85 cells is also affected by culture temperature.

Abstract
The progressive differentiation of both normal rat osteoblasts and HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells involves the sequential expression of specific genes encoding proteins that are characteristic of their respective developing cellular phenotypes. In addition to the selective expression of various phenotype marker genes, several members of the heat shock gene family exhibit differential expression throughout the developmental sequence of these two cell types. As determined by steady state mRNA levels, in both osteoblasts and HL-60 cells expression of hsp27, hsp60, hsp70, hsp89 alpha, and hsp89 beta may be associated with the modifications in gene expression and cellular architecture that occur during differentiation. In both differentiation systems, the expression of hsp27 mRNA shows a 2.5-fold increase with the down-regulation of proliferation while hsp60 mRNA levels are maximal during active proliferation and subsequently decline post-proliferatively. mRNA expression of two members of the hsp90 family decreases with the shutdown of proliferation, with a parallel relationship between hsp89 alpha mRNA levels and proliferation in osteoblasts and a delay in down-regulation of hsp89 alpha mRNA levels in HL-60 cells and of hsp89 beta mRNA in both systems. Hsp70 mRNA rapidly increases, almost twofold, as proliferation decreases in HL-60 cells but during osteoblast growth and differentiation was only minimally detectable and showed no significant changes. Although the presence of the various hsp mRNA species is maintained at some level throughout the developmental sequence of both osteoblasts and HL-60 cells, changes in the extent to which the heat shock genes are expressed occur primarily in association with the decline of proliferative activity. The observed differences in patterns of expression for the various heat shock genes are consistent with involvement in mediating a series of regulatory events functionally related to the control of both cell growth and differentiation.

Abstract
We have identified the low MW 27 kD heat shock protein as a major phosphoprotein constituent of smooth muscle and have investigated its potential role in agonist induced smooth muscle contraction. The neuropeptides bombesin and substance P, which are present in neurons of the anorectal region, induce contraction of isolated smooth muscle cells from this region by activating different intracellular pathways. Substance P-induced contraction is 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate (IP3)/calmodulin dependent, while contraction induced by bombesin is mediated by a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathway. The sustained contraction induced by bombesin or exogenous PKC was blocked by preincubation of cells with monoclonal antibodies to hsp27, while the transient contraction induced by substance P or IP3 was unaffected by the antibodies. Preincubation with isotype matched control antibodies had no inhibitory effect on contraction induced in response to the agents used. These data support a novel role for hsp27 in the non calmodulin mediated sustained contraction induced by bombesin or PKC.

Abstract
Sequence similarity between alpha B-crystallin and small heat shock proteins (HSPs) has prompted us to investigate whether alpha B-crystallin expression is induced by heat shock. Indeed, accumulation of alpha B-crystallin was detected immunologically in NIH 3T3 cells after incubation at elevated temperatures and after addition of Cd2+ or sodium arsenite to these cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed identity between alpha B-crystallin from eye lenses and from heat-treated fibroblasts. The promoter of the alpha B-crystallin gene was fused to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene and was shown to confer heat inducibility on this reporter gene in transient transfection assays. A perfect heat shock element within the promoter region is likely to mediate this response. Small HSPs and alpha B-crystallin were shown to share the following two physical properties: (i) they form supramolecular structures with sedimentation values around 17 S and (ii) they are associated with the nucleus at high temperatures and are localized in the cytoplasm under normal conditions. We conclude that alpha B-crystallin has to be considered a member of the class of small HSPs.

Abstract
We have previously reported lack of expression of a polypeptide designated L3 in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Expression of L3 occurred predominantly in older children with pre-B ALL. We have recently reported the expression during B cell ontogeny of two other polypeptides, designated L2 and L4 with a similar Mr as L3, which were identified as phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms respectively of the low Mr heat shock protein. hsp27. In this study we have characterized L3 and identified it as another phosphorylated form of hsp27. The two phosphorylated forms appear to be differentially expressed in acute leukemia. L3 levels in infants who expressed hsp27 isoforms L2 and L4 were significantly diminished compared to levels in older children with an equivalent amount of hsp27. We conclude that leukemic cells in infant ALL exhibit a unique pattern of phosphorylation of hsp27 expressed at a pre-B cell stage of differentiation.

Abstract
In the present study, the spontaneous elevation of the transcription of heat shock protein (hsp 70) gene in kidney lymphoid cells of lupus-prone mice (MRL-lpr/lpr) is shown by Northern blot and nuclear run on transcription assay. By quantification analysis of hsp 70 gene transcription, more than ten times of the enhanced transcription of hsp 70 gene in kidney lymphoid cells of lupus-prone mice was first found, in comparison to normal control mice (MRL(-)+/+). The elevation of transcriptional level of hsp 70 gene was also found to increase during growing process and seemed to have positive correlation with deterioration of lupus-related renal disorders in lupus-prone mice. Our observation suggests that heat shock proteins may be involved in possible significance in the pathophysiology of nephrotic lesions of lupus-prone mice due to lupus-related change of kidney lymphoid cells.

Abstract
The spontaneous increase in the transcription of the heat shock protein (hsp 70) gene in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is shown by nuclear run on transcription assay. The transcription of hsp 70 gene in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of five patients with active SLE was more than 10 times greater than that in five normal healthy subjects or three patients with bronchial asthma as controls. This suggests that heat shock proteins may be produced during an active immune response in patients with active SLE and play a part in a change related to lupus of the essential intracellular functions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
