[PMID: 35457282 PMCID: PMC9031996 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23084464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The molecular mechanisms of sleep cycle integration at the beginning and the end of the inactive period are not clear. Sleep cycles with a predominance of deep slow-wave sleep (SWS) seem to be associated with accelerated protein synthesis in the brain. The inducible Hsp70 chaperone corrects protein conformational changes and has protective properties. This research explores (1) whether the Hspa1 gene encoding Hsp70 protein activates during the daily rapid-eye-movement sleep (REMS) maximum, and (2) whether a lower daily deep SWS maximum affects the Hspa1 expression level during the subsequent REMS. Combining polysomnography in male Wistar rats, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting, we reveal a three-fold Hspa1 upregulation in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis, which regulates REMS. Hspa1 expression increases during the daily REMS maximum, 5–7 h after the natural peak of deep SWS. Using short-term selective REMS deprivation, we demonstrate that REMS rebound after deprivation exceeds the natural daily maximum, but it is not accompanied by Hspa1 upregulation. The results suggest that a high proportion of deep SWS, usually observed after sleep onset, is a necessary condition for Hspa1 upregulation during subsequent REMS. The data obtained can inform the understanding of the molecular mechanisms integrating SWS and REMS and key biological function(s) of sleep.

Disruption of the Complex between GAPDH and Hsp70 Sensitizes C6 Glioblastoma Cells to Hypoxic Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22041520. [PMID: 33546324 PMCID: PMC7913589 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22041520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia, which commonly accompanies tumor growth, depending on its strength may cause the enhancement of tumorigenicity of cancer cells or their death. One of the proteins targeted by hypoxia is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and we demonstrated here that hypoxia mimicked by treating C6 rat glioblastoma cells with cobalt chloride caused an up-regulation of the enzyme expression, while further elevation of hypoxic stress caused the enzyme aggregation concomitantly with cell death. Reduction or elevation of GAPDH performed with the aid of specific shRNAs resulted in the augmentation of the tumorigenicity of C6 cells or their sensitization to hypoxic stress. Another hypoxia-regulated protein, Hsp70 chaperone, was shown to prevent the aggregation of oxidized GAPDH and to reduce hypoxia-mediated cell death. In order to release the enzyme molecules from the chaperone, we employed its inhibitor, derivative of colchicine. The compound was found to substantially increase aggregation of GAPDH and to sensitize C6 cells to hypoxia both in vitro and in animals bearing tumors with distinct levels of the enzyme expression. In conclusion, blocking the chaperonic activity of Hsp70 and its interaction with GAPDH may become a promising strategy to overcome tumor resistance to multiple environmental stresses and enhance existing therapeutic tools.

Quiescent Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are More Resistant to Heat Stress than Cycling Cells. Stem Cells Int 2018; 2018:3753547.

Abstract
Quiescence is the prevailing state of many cell types under homeostatic conditions. Yet, surprisingly, little is known about how quiescent cells respond to environmental challenges. The aim of the present study is to compare stress responses of cycling and quiescent mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Human endometrial mesenchymal cells (eMSС) were employed as adult stem cells. eMSC quiescence was modeled by serum starvation. Sublethal heat shock (HS) was used as a stress factor. Both quiescent and cycling cells were heated at 45°C for 30 min and then returned to standard culture conditions for their recovery. HS response was monitored by DNA damage response, stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS), cell proliferation activity, and oxidative metabolism. It has been found that quiescent cells repair DNA more rapidly, resume proliferation, and undergo SIPS less than proliferating cells. HS-enforced ROS production in heated cycling cells was accompanied with increased expression of genes regulating redox-active proteins. Quiescent cells exposed to HS did not intensify the ROS production, and genes involved in antioxidant defense were mostly silent. Altogether, the results have shown that quiescent cells are more resistant to heat stress than cycling cells. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) demonstrates that HS-survived cells retain differentiation capacity and do not exhibit signs of spontaneous transformation.

Abstract
Combinational anticancer therapy demonstrates increased efficiency, as it targets different cell-survival mechanisms and allows the decrease of drug dosages that are often toxic to normal cells. Inhibitors of the heat shock response (HSR) are known to reduce the efficiency of proteostasis mechanisms in many cancerous cells, and therefore, may be employed as anti-tumor drug complements. However, the application of HSR inhibitors is limited by their cytotoxicity, and we suggested that milder inhibitors may be employed to sensitize cancer cells to a certain drug. We used a heat-shock element-luciferase reporter system and discovered a compound, CL-43, that inhibited the levels of heat shock proteins 40, 70 (Hsp70), and 90 kDa in HCT-116 cells and was not toxic for cells of several lines, including normal human fibroblasts. Consequently, CL-43 was found to reduce colony formation and motility of HCT-116 in the appropriate assays suggesting its possible application in the exploration of biology of metastasizing tumors. Importantly, CL-43 elevated the growth-inhibitory and cytotoxic activity of etoposide, cisplatin, and doxorubicin suggesting that the pro-drug has broad prospect for application in a variety of anti-tumor therapy schedules.

Abstract
Chaperone Hsp70 can cross the plasma membrane of living cells using mechanisms that so far have not received much research attention. Searching the part of the molecule that is responsible for transport ability of Hsp70, we found a cationic sequence composed of 20 amino acid residues on its surface, KST peptide, which was used in further experiments. We showed that KST peptide enters living cells of various origins with the same efficiency as the full-length chaperone. KST peptide is capable of carrying cargo with a molecular weight 30 times greater than its own into cells. When we compared the membrane-crossing activity of KST peptide in complex with Avidin (KST-Av complex) with that of similarly linked canonical TAT peptide, we found that TAT peptide penetrated SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells at a similar rate and efficiency as the KST peptide. Furthermore, KST peptide can carry protein complexes consisting of a specific antibody coupled to the peptide through the Avidin bridge. An antibody to Hsp70 delivered to SK-N-SH cells with high expression level of Hsp70 reduced the protective power of the chaperone and sensitized the cells to the pro-apoptotic effect of staurosporine. We studied the mechanisms of penetration of KST-Av and full-length Hsp70 inside human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH and human erythroleukemia K-562 cells and found that both used an active intracellular transport mechanism that included vesicular structures and negatively charged lipid membrane domains. Competition analysis of intracellular transport showed that the chaperone reduced intracellular penetration of KST peptide and conversely KST peptide prevented Hsp70 transport in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Stem cells in adult organism are responsible for cell turnover and tissue regeneration. The study of stem cell stress response contributes to our knowledge on the mechanisms of damaged tissue repair. Previously, we demonstrated that sublethal heat shock (HS) induced apoptosis in human embryonic stem cells. This study aimed to investigate HS response of human adult stem cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultivated in vitro were challenged with sublethal HS. It was found that sublethal HS did not affect the cell viability assessed by annexin V/propidium staining. However, MSCs subjected to severe HS exhibited features of stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS): irreversible cell cycle arrest, altered morphology, increased expression of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity, and induction of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 protein. High level of Hsp70 accumulation induced by sublethal HS did not return to the basal level, at least, after 72 h of the cell recovery when most cells exhibited SIPS hallmarks. MSCs survived sublethal HS, and resumed proliferation sustained the properties of parental MSCs: diploid karyotype, replicative senescence, expression of the cell surface markers, and capacity for multilineage differentiation. Our results showed for the first time that in human MSCs, sublethal HS induced premature senescence rather than apoptosis or necrosis. MSC progeny that survived sublethal HS manifested stem cell properties of the parental cells: limited replicative life span and multilineage capacity.

Abstract
Although heat shock (stress) proteins are typically regarded as being exclusively intracellular molecules, it is now apparent that they can be released from cells in the absence of cellular necrosis. We and others have reported the presence of Hsp60 (HSPD1) and Hsp70 (HSPA1A) in the circulation of normal individuals and our finding that increases in carotid intima-media thicknesses (a measure of atherosclerosis) in subjects with hypertension at a 4-year follow-up are less prevalent in those having high serum Hsp70 (HSPA1A) levels at baseline suggests that circulating Hsp70 (HSPA1A) has atheroprotective effects. Given that circulating Hsp70 (HSPA1A) levels can be in the range which has been shown to elicit a number of biological effects in vitro, and our preliminary findings that Hsp70 (HSPA1A) binds to and is internalised by human endothelial cell populations, we speculate on the mechanisms that might be involved in the apparent atheroprotective properties of this protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Thermal pretreatment has been shown to condition tissue to a more severe secondary heat stress. In this research we examined the particular contribution of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in thermal preconditioning. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS For optimization of preshock exposures, a bioluminescent Hsp70-luciferase reporter system in NIH3T3 cells tracked the activation of the Hsp70 gene. Cells in 96-well plates were pretreated in a 43 degrees C water bath for 30 minutes, followed 4 hours later with a severe heat shock at 45 degrees C for 50 minutes. Bioluminescence was measured at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours after preshock only (PS) and at 4 hours after preshock with heatshock (PS+HS). Viability was assessed 48 hours later with a fluorescent viability dye. Preshock induced thermotolerance was then evaluated in hsp70-containing Murine Embryo Fibroblast (+/+) cells and Hsp70-deficient MEF cells (-/-) through an Arrhenius damage model across varying temperatures (44.5-46 degrees C). RESULTS A time gap of 4 hours between preconditioning and the thermal insult was shown to be the most effective for thermotolerance with statistical confidence of P<0.05. The benefit of preshocking was largely abrogated in Hsp70-deficient cells. The Arrhenius data showed that preshocking leads to increases in the activation energies, E(a), and increases in frequency factors, A. The frequency factor increase was significantly greater in Hsp70-deficient cells. CONCLUSION The data shows that HSP70 contributes significantly to cellular thermotolerance but there are other pathways that provide residual thermotolerance in cells deficient in Hsp70.

Abstract
Background Antimicrobial peptides derived from the natural processing of chromogranin A (CgA) are co-secreted with catecholamines upon stimulation of chromaffin cells. Since PMNs play a central role in innate immunity, we examine responses by PMNs following stimulation by two antimicrobial CgA-derived peptides. Methodology/Principal Findings PMNs were treated with different concentrations of CgA-derived peptides in presence of several drugs. Calcium mobilization was observed by using flow cytometry and calcium imaging experiments. Immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy have shown the intracellular localization of the peptides. The calmodulin-binding and iPLA2 activating properties of the peptides were shown by Surface Plasmon Resonance and iPLA2 activity assays. Finally, a proteomic analysis of the material released after PMNs treatment with CgA-derived peptides was performed by using HPLC and Nano-LC MS-MS. By using flow cytometry we first observed that after 15 s, in presence of extracellular calcium, Chromofungin (CHR) or Catestatin (CAT) induce a concentration-dependent transient increase of intracellular calcium. In contrast, in absence of extra cellular calcium the peptides are unable to induce calcium depletion from the stores after 10 minutes exposure. Treatment with 2-APB (2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate), a store operated channels (SOCs) blocker, inhibits completely the calcium entry, as shown by calcium imaging. We also showed that they activate iPLA2 as the two CaM-binding factors (W7 and CMZ) and that the two sequences can be aligned with the two CaM-binding domains reported for iPLA2. We finally analyzed by HPLC and Nano-LC MS-MS the material released by PMNs following stimulation by CHR and CAT. We characterized several factors important for inflammation and innate immunity. Conclusions/Significance For the first time, we demonstrate that CHR and CAT, penetrate into PMNs, inducing extracellular calcium entry by a CaM-regulated iPLA2 pathway. Our study highlights the role of two CgA-derived peptides in the active communication between neuroendocrine and immune systems.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein contains many potentially proatherogenic molecules, including oxysterols, which have been shown to induce apoptosis in various cell lines. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathway of apoptosis induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein and the oxysterols, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol and cholesterol-5beta,6beta-epoxide, in two human monocytic cell lines. The HL-60 cells appeared to be more sensitive to oxidized low-density lipoprotein than U937 cells, whereas the isolated oxysterols were more potent inducers of apoptosis in the U937 cells. Caspase-2 inhibition decreased the number of viable cells in oxidized low-density lipoprotein-treated samples; however, it protected against cholesterol-5beta,6beta-epoxide-induced cell death. Western blot analysis was utilized to examine the effect of caspase-2 inhibition on the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Pretreatment with the inhibitor protected against the decrease in Bcl-2 expression in oxidized low-density lipoprotein- and 7beta-hydroxycholesterol-treated U937 cells. In HL-60 cells, Bcl-2 was overexpressed in oxidized low-density lipoprotein-treated cells, but in the presence of the inhibitor Bcl-2 expression was returned to control levels. Depleted ATP concentrations in the cells suggest that both apoptosis and necrosis may have occurred simultaneously. Our results highlight differences in the signaling pathways induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol, and cholesterol-5beta,6beta-epoxide in U937 and HL-60 cells.

Abstract
The initial steps of heat stress in A431 cells were previously characterized by ligand-independent EGFR transactivation via an unknown mechanism and concomitant secretion of Hsp70. In this work we demonstrate that the depletion of Hsp70 from the conditioned medium of heated cells abolishes EGFR transactivation indicating that secreted Hsp70 is essential for EGFR transactivation during heat shock. This notion is supported by the findings that purified Hsp70 can induce EGFR transactivation and the activation of EGFR-dependent signaling pathways. Both heat stress and pure Hsp70 stimulate activation of TLR2/4 and their association with EGFR. These results suggest that the secreted Hsp70 mediates the cross-communication of TLR and EGFR signaling systems in A431 cells.

Abstract
Previous experiments from flight- and ground-based model systems indicate unexpected alterations of human leukocytes, leading to growth retardation and depression of mitogenic activation. The response of myelomonocytic U937 cells to simulated microgravity was therefore investigated. To this purpose, U937 cells were cultured in the NASA-developed bioreactor Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) as a device to simulate microgravity on earth. No apoptosis was detected, in part because of the up-regulation of hsp70. In agreement with results obtained in space-flown U937 cells, the cells grew more slowly in the RWV than under normal conditions and this correlated with the down-modulation of cdc25B. Marked alterations of the cytokine secretion profile and, in particular, of inflammatory chemokines, as well as a decrease of the proteasome activity, were also observed in response to microgravity.

Abstract
In our earlier work we have demonstrated that the treatment of squamous carcinoma cell line A431 with a pharmacological inhibitor of phospholipase C activity, U73122, resulted in fast release of stress-inducible heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) into the extracellular medium (Evdonin et al., Cancer Cell Int., 4, 2, 2004). The purpose of the present study was to identify cellular organelles involved in the release of Hsp70 from A431 cells. We determined that Hsp70 is present in granules located at the periphery of cells, which had been treated with U73122 or subjected to heat shock. An inhibitor of the classical protein export pathway, brefeldin A was found to prevent the U73122-induced appearance of Hsp70 in the extracellular medium and in the peripheral granules. These findings suggest that vesicular transport is involved in Hsp70 release. The Hsp70-containing granules did not carry markers specific for lipid bodies, endosomes, or lysosomes. However, they were positive for a marker of secretory granules, i.e. chromogranin A. The levels of extracellular Hsp70 and chromogranin A were found to increase simultaneously. The secretory-like granule-dependent transport of Hsp70 was also studied in minimally transformed human HaCaT keratinocytes. We found that after U73122 and heat stress treatment, HaCaT cells secreted Hsp70 in a manner similar to A431 cells. Collectively our results suggest that human keratinocyte-derived cells release Hsp70 in the extracellular medium through a pathway involving secretory-like granules.

Abstract
Heat shock protein Hsp70 is implicated in the mechanism of cell reaction to a variety of cytotoxic factors. The protective function of Hsp70 is related to its ability to promote folding of nascent polypeptides and to remove denatured proteins. Many types of cancer cells contain high amounts of Hsp70, whose protective capacity may pose a problem for therapy in oncology. Hsp70 was shown to be expressed on the surface of cancer cells and to participate in the presentation of tumor antigens to immune cells. Therefore, the chaperone activity of Hsp70 is an important factor that should be taken into consideration in cancer therapy. The protective role of Hsp70 is also evident in neuropathology. Many neurodegenerative processes are associated with the accumulation of insoluble aggregates of misfolded proteins in neural cells. These aggregates hamper intracellular transport, inhibit metabolism, and activate apoptosis through diverse pathways. The increase of Hsp70 content results in the reduction of aggregate size and number and ultimately enhances cell viability.

Abstract
The dependence of developing spinal motoneuron survival on a soluble factor(s) from their target, muscle tissue is well established both in vivo and in vitro. Considering this apparent dependence, we examined whether a specific component of the stress response mediates motoneuron survival in trophic factor-deprived environments. We demonstrate that, although endogenous expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) did not change during trophic factor deprivation, application of e-rhHsp70 (exogenous recombinant human Hsp70) promoted motoneuron survival. Conversely, depletion of HSP70 from chick muscle extract (MEx) potently reduces the survival-promoting activity of MEx. Additionally, exogenous treatment with or spinal cord overexpression of Hsp70 enhances motoneuron survival in vivo during the period of naturally occurring cell death [programmed cell death (PCD)]. Hindlimb muscle cells and lumbar spinal astrocytes readily secrete HSP70 in vitro, suggesting potential physiological sources of extracellular Hsp70 for motoneurons. However, in contrast to exogenous treatment with or overexpression of Hsp70 in vivo, muscle-targeted injections of this factor in an ex vivo preparation fail to attenuate motoneuron PCD. These data (1) suggest that motoneuron survival requirements may extend beyond classical trophic factors to include HSP70, (2) indicate that the source of this factor is instrumental in determining its trophic function, and (3) may therefore influence therapeutic strategies designed to increase motoneuron Hsp70 signaling during disease or injury.

Abstract
All cells, from bacterial to human, have a common, intricate response to stress that protects them from injury. Heat shock proteins (Hsps), also known as stress proteins and molecular chaperones, play a central role in protecting cellular homeostatic processes from environmental and physiologic insult by preserving the structure of normal proteins and repairing or removing damaged ones. An understanding of the interplay between Hsps and cell stress tolerance will provide new tools for treatment and drug design that maximise preservation or restoration of health. For example, the increased vulnerability of tissues to injury in some conditions, such as ageing, diabetes mellitus and menopause, or with the use of certain drugs,, such as some antihypertensive medications, is associated with an impaired Hsp response. Additionally, diseases that are associated with tissue oxidation, free radical formation, disorders of protein folding, or inflammation, may be improved therapeutically by elevated expression of Hsps. The accumulation of Hsps, whether induced physiologically, pharmacologically, genetically, or by direct administration of the proteins, is known to protect the organism from a great variety of pathological conditions, including myocardial infarction, stroke, sepsis, viral infection, trauma, neurodegenerative diseases, retinal damage, congestive heart failure, arthritis, sunburn, colitis, gastric ulcer, diabetic complications and transplanted organ failure. Conversely, lowering Hsps in cancer tissues can amplify the effectiveness of chemo- or radiotherapy. Treatments and agents that induce Hsps include hyperthermia, heavy metals (zinc and tin), salicylates, dexamethasone, cocaine, nicotine, alcohol, alpha-adrenergic agonists, PPAR-gamma agonists, bimoclomol, geldanamycin, geranylgeranylacetone and cyclopentenone prostanoids. Compounds that suppress Hsps include quercetin (a bioflavinoid), 15-deoxyspergualin (an immunosuppressive agent) and retinoic acid. Researchers who are cognisant of the Hsp-related effects of these and other agents will be able to use them to develop new therapeutic paradigms.

Abstract
The response of cancer cells to apoptosis-inducing agents can be characterized by 2 opposing factors, the proapoptotic caspase cascade and the antiapoptotic stress protein Hsp70. We show here that these factors interact in U-937 leukemia cells induced to apoptosis with anticancer drugs, etoposide and adriamycin (ADR). The protective effect of Hsp70 was verified using 2 approaches: mild heat stress and transfection-mediated overexpression of the Hsp70 gene. The increase in Hsp70 levels attained by these 2 methods was found to postpone caspase activation for 12-18 hours. An in vitro assay was developed using mouse myeloma NS0/1 cells, which lack the expression of Hsp70. Measurement of DEVD-ase activity in extracts of apoptotic NS0/1 cells incubated with purified Hsp70 showed that Hsp70 reduced caspase activity by up to 50% of its control value in a dose-dependent manner. The hypothesis that the inhibitory effect of Hsp70 on caspase-3/7 activity related to a direct interaction between Hsp70 and the caspases was tested by reciprocal immunoprecipitations and Far-western analyses. These tests were performed with extracts of Hsp70-overexpressing, control, and ADR-treated U-937 cells and using anti-caspase-3, caspase-7, and anti-Hsp70 antibodies, and the data clearly showed that Hsp70 was able to interact with the proforms of these caspases in cell lysates and with reconstituted purified proteins but did not bind the activated forms of either caspase-3 or -7. This association was also corroborated by a novel, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-like assay, protein interaction assay, that combined the advantages of immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting in a 96-well microplate-based assay. Thus, Hsp70 may act to suppress caspase-dependent apoptotic signaling through binding the precursor forms of both caspase-3 and caspase-7 and preventing their maturation.

Abstract
Bioflavonoids, such as quercetin, have recently emerged as a new class of chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of various cancer types, but are marred by their low potency and poor selectivity. We report that a short application of low-frequency ultrasound selectively sensitises prostate and skin cancer cells against quercetin. Pretreatment of cells with ultrasound (20 kHz, 2 W cm−2, 60 s) selectively induced cytotoxicity in skin and prostate cancer cells, while having minimal effect on corresponding normal cell lines. About 90% of the viable skin cancer cell population was lost within 48 h after ultrasound-quercetin (50 μM) treatment. Ultrasound reduced the LC50 of quercetin for skin cancer cells by almost 80-fold, while showing no effect on LC50 for nonmalignant skin cells.

Abstract
Elevated expression of stress proteins can be a characteristic of human cancer and may be involved in the development of resistance to some types of chemotherapeutic agent. In this paper, the effect of physiological stress conditions, such as glucose deprivation, was investigated in overexpressing nPKCdelta murine melanoma BL6 (BL6T) cells. Glucose stress conditions decreased the proliferative capacity, increasing the percentage of BL6T cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, under such conditions, nPKCdelta, whose subcellular localization is cell cycle dependent, showed a cytoplasmic and perinuclear localization by immunohistochemistry, this being typical for cells in G0/G1 phase. Moreover, these cells expressed GRP-78, a known stress protein. On the other hand, glucose depletion enhanced intracellular melanin as well as tyrosinase activity and expression. In summary, these data demonstrate that stress conditions can modify the biological characteristics of BL6T cells, and therefore can select a quiescent cellular population.

Abstract
Background Accumulating evidences suggest that Hsp 70, the inducible component of Hsp70 family, might release from a living cell. Here we show that a pharmacological inhibitor of phospholipase C activity U73122 caused a 2–4 fold reduction of an intracellular level of Hsp70 in A431 human carcinoma cells. Results A depletion of Hsp70 under U73122 was a result of the protein release since it was detected in cell culture medium, as was established by immunoprecipitation and precipitation with ATP-agarose. The reduction of Hsp70 level was specifically attributed to the inhibition of PLC, since the non-active inhibitor, U73343, had no effect on Hsp70 level. The PLC-dependent decrease of Hsp70 intracellular level was accompanied by the enhanced sensitivity of A431 cells to the apoptogenic effect of hydrogen peroxide. Here for the first time we demonstrated one of the possibilities for a cell to export Hsp70 in PLC-dependent manner. Conclusion From our data we suggest that phospholipase C inhibition is one of the possible mechanisms of Hsp70 release from cells.

Abstract
Mouse myeloma NS0 cells widely used in hybridoma technology lack the expression of a major stress protein Hsp70 which is the principal component of the basic cellular defense mechanism. These cells rapidly undergo apoptosis at the late-stationary phase of batch culture following nutrient exhaustion. Since Hsp70 was recently demonstrated to protect cells against numerous apoptotic stimuli, the aim of the present study was to examine the protective potential of the protein expression in engineered myeloma NS0 cells and in resulting hybridomas. Myeloma cells were transfected with the hsp70 gene under beta-actin gene promoter. To imitate harmful conditions that hybridoma or myeloma cells often experience when cultivated in large scale for an antibody production, NS0(wt) and NS0(hsp70) cell cultures were maintained without changing the medium for a few days, and the expression of apoptotic markers has been studied. It was found that long-term cultivation induced apoptosis in original cells manifested by typical nuclei fragmentation, DNA ladders and activation of caspase-3. In contrast, in transfected cells under the same conditions the outcome of apoptosis was postponed for 24 hours. Most relevant was that the fusion of transfected myeloma cells with immune splenocytes resulted in twofold hybridomas output compared with wild-type fusion partner. Almost half of the hybridomas continued to be hsp70-positive and maintained higher robustness in culture. The level of monoclonal antibodies production by hybridoma cells obtained with the use of NS0(wt) and NS0(hsp70) was similar, however, the secreted product was better preserved in culture supernatants of Hsp70-positive cells. It is concluded that transfection of mouse myeloma cells with the hsp70 gene can be a novel means to increase hybridoma yield and reduce the sensitivity of myeloma and hybridoma cells to culture conditions insults accompanying monoclonal antibody production.

Abstract
Glial cells release a variety of molecules that support neuronal function. Because heat shock proteins (Hsps) are important in the survival of neurons subjected to metabolic stress, the possibility that glia can release the inducible form of the 70 kDa Hsp (Hsp70) was examined. Additionally, the ability of neuronal cells to show increased stress tolerance by taking up a mixture of constitutive and inducible forms of Hsp70 (Hsc/Hsp70) added to the extracellular fluid was tested. Human T98G glioma cells and differentiated LA-N-5 neuroblastoma cells were used as model glia and neurons to investigate these points. Hsp70 was analyzed using affinity chromatography, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence microscopy. The glioma cells were shown to export Hsp70 into the culture medium whether under normal conditions or subjected to heat shock. The amount of glial Hsp70 released ranged from 5 to 15 pg per 10(6) cells per day, being greater following heat shock. Neuroblastoma cells took up biotinylated Hsc/Hsp70 within 1 h after it was added to the culture medium and it made them more resistant to heat shock (44 degrees C) and to staurosporine-induced apoptosis. This increased stress tolerance was especially important in neuroblastoma cells induced to differentiate with phorbol ester because those 'mature neurons' showed a 10-fold decline in endogenous Hsp70, which was accompanied by increased susceptibility to heat shock and staurosporine-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that extracellular Hsp70 may provide a means by which glia can affect neuronal function, perhaps enhancing neuronal stress tolerance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cytoplasmic members of the heat shock protein HSP70, family, inducible HSP72 and constitutive HSC73, are known to protect cells and organisms against harmful factors including ischemia, trauma, etc. The up-regulation of HSP70 was shown to greatly increase resistance of myocardial cells in vitro as well as in transgenic animals. It seems reasonable to expect that in patients undergoing open heart surgery cytoplasmic HSP70 should play a protective role, reducing the risk of the myocardial cell injury. METHODS Using Western blotting, we determined levels of HSP72 and HSC73 in myocardium and peripheral blood lymphocytes of 51 patients with coronary and valvular diseases. In all the cases, HSP70 was detected in samples of the right atria before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. RESULTS Induction of HSP72 was observed in 40% of all patients and correlated with the endurance of cardiopulmonary bypass and with disease duration in 33 patients with coronary artery disease. The cardioprotective effect of the elevated pre-operational level of HSP72 was shown to correlate with the lower activity of cardiospecific enzymes in the coronary disease patients. The HSC73 level in the right atria did not depend on conditions of the open heart surgery, while in some cases, it was increased after bypass. No correlation has been found between preoperational content of HSP72/HSC73 in lymphocytes and its pre- or post-bypass content in myocardium. CONCLUSION HSP72 is implicated in cardioprotection in combination with some other factors, and its pre-operational level, among other parameters, might be of prognostic value.

Abstract
Stress response is a universal phenomenon. However, a rat histiocytic cell line, BC-8, showed no heat shock response and failed to synthesize heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) upon heat shock at 42 degrees C for 30 min. BC-8 is a clone of AK-5, a rat macrophage tumor line that is adapted to grow in culture and has the same chromosome number and tumorigenic potential as AK-5. An increase in either the incubation temperature or time or both to BC-8 cells leads to loss of cell viability. In addition, heat shock conditions activated apoptotic cell death in these cells as observed by cell fragmentation, formation of nuclear comets, apoptotic bodies, DNA fragmentation and activation of ICE-like cysteine proteases. Results presented here demonstrate that BC-8 cells cannot mount a typical heat shock response unlike all other eukaryotic cells and that in the absence of induction of hsps upon stress, these cells undergo apoptosis at 42 degrees C.

Abstract
The 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) is a highly conserved, ubiquitous protein involved in chaperoning proteins to various cellular organelles. Here we show that when added exogenously to cells, Hsp70 is readily imported into both cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments in a cell-type-specific fashion. We exploited this ability of Hsp70 to deliver NF-kappaB, a key transcriptional regulator of inflammatory responses. We demonstrate that a fusion protein composed of a C-terminal Hsp70 peptide and the p50 subunit of NF-kappaB was directed into the nucleus of cells, could bind DNA specifically, and activated Igkappa expression and TNFalpha production. We therefore propose that Hsp70 can be used as a vehicle for intracytoplasmic and intranuclear delivery of proteins or DNA to modulate gene expression and thereby control immune responses.
