Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted much attention due to its less invasive, controllable and highly effective nature. However, PTT also suffers from intrinsic cancer resistance mediated by cell survival pathways. These survival pathways are regulated by a variety of proteins, among which heat shock protein (HSP) triggers thermotolerance and protects tumor cells from hyperthermia-induced apoptosis. Confronted by this challenge, we propose and validate here a novel MXene-based HSP-inhibited mild photothermal platform, which significantly enhances the sensitivity of tumor cells to heat-induced stress and thus improves the PPT efficacy. The Ti3C2@Qu nanocomposites are constructed by utilizing the high photothermal conversion ability of Ti3C2 nanosheets in combination with quercetin (Qu) as an inhibitor of HSP70. Qu molecules are loaded onto the nanoplatform in a pH-sensitive controlled release manner. The acidic environment of the tumor causes the burst-release of Qu molecules, which deplete the level of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in tumor cells and leave the tumor cells out from the protection of the heat-resistant survival pathway in advance, thus sensitizing the hyperthermia efficacy. The nanostructure, photothermal properties, pH-responsive controlled release, synergistic photothermal ablation of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, and hyperthermia effect on subcellular structures of the Ti3C2@Qu nanocomposites were systematically investigated.

Abstract
Global warming has profound effects on the living conditions and metabolism of organisms, including fish. The metabolic rate of fish increases as the temperature increases within its thermal tolerance range. Temperature changes can trigger a range of physiological reactions, including the activation of the stress axis and the production of HSPs. Under stress conditions, HSPs play a crucial role in antioxidant systems, immune responses, and enzyme activation. This study examined the effects of heat shock products (HSPs) on fish under temperature stress. Various HSP inducers (HSPis), including Pro-Tex®, amygdalin, and novel synthetic compounds derived from pirano piranazole (SZ, MZ, HN-P1, and HN-P2), were evaluated in isolated cells of sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus) treated with temperature changes (18, 22, and 26 °C). Cells from the liver, kidney, and gills were cultured in vitro in the presence and absence of temperature stress and treated with HSPi compounds. To assess HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90 expression patterns, Western blotting was used. The HSPis and HSPi + temperature stress treatments affected the antioxidant capacity and immune parameters, among other enzyme activities. The results showed that HSPi compounds increase cell survival in vitro, positively modulate HSP expression and antioxidant levels, and decrease immune parameters. HSPi can increase A. ruthenus tolerance to temperature stress. In addition, the results indicate that these compounds can reverse adverse temperature effects. Further research is needed to determine how these ecological factors affect fish species' health in vivo and in combination with other stressors.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the expressions of HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 in rat ovaries during the oestrous cycle, pregnancy, and lactation. In follicle cells, HSP27 and HSP70 expression was not observed. HSP60 in oocytes was higher in the early stages of follicular development but decreased and disappeared as the follicle grew. HSP60 in granulosa and theca cells increased with follicle development and decreased with atresia. HSP90 in follicle cells did not change during follicle development or atresia. The expression of HSPs in interstitial cells was higher in the proestrus and estrus phases of the estrous cycle. The expression of HSPs in these cells was higher on day 5 of pregnancy, decreased on day 10, and decreased further on days 15 and 20. The expression of HSPs, which decreased in the second half of pregnancy, increased again on the first day of lactation. The expression of HSPs then decreased on day 5 of lactation and further decreased on days 10 and 20. HSP60 and HSP90 were positive in new and old corpus luteums (CLs) and their expression did not change during luteal development or regression. HSP27 and HSP70 were absent in new CLs. HSP27 was positive in old CLs and showed the same staining pattern during luteal regression. HSP70 expression was determined in old cyclic CLs during the oestrous cycle and pregnancy and decreased with luteal regression. HSP70 expression in old pregnancy CLs during lactation was very weak compared to the oestrous cycle and pregnancy. In conclusion, HSP60 and HSP90 may participate in folliculogenesis, luteal development, and steroidogenesis in luteal cells, and HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 may be effective in luteal regression and steroidogenesis in interstitial cells. HSP27 and HSP70 may be used as markers to identify old CLs in rats.

Abstract
Protein misfolding and mislocalization are common themes in neurodegenerative disorders, including motor neuron disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Maintaining proteostasis is a crosscutting therapeutic target, including the upregulation of heat shock proteins (HSP) to increase chaperoning capacity. Motor neurons have a high threshold for upregulating stress-inducible HSPA1A, but constitutively express high levels of HSPA8. This study compared the expression of these HSPs in cultured motor neurons expressing three variants linked to familial ALS: TAR DNA binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43)G348C, fused in sarcoma (FUS)R521G, or superoxide dismutase I (SOD1)G93A. All variants were poor inducers of Hspa1a, and reduced levels of Hspa8 mRNA and protein, indicating multiple compromises in chaperoning capacity. To promote HSP expression, cultures were treated with the putative HSP coinducer, arimoclomol, and class I histone deacetylase inhibitors, to promote active chromatin for transcription, and with the combination. Treatments had variable, often different effects on the expression of Hspa1a and Hspa8, depending on the ALS variant expressed, mRNA distribution (somata and dendrites), and biomarker of toxicity measured (histone acetylation, maintaining nuclear TDP-43 and the neuronal Brm/Brg-associated factor chromatin remodeling complex component Brg1, mitochondrial transport, FUS aggregation). Overall, histone deacetylase inhibition alone was effective on more measures than arimoclomol. As in the FUS model, arimoclomol failed to induce HSPA1A or preserve Hspa8 mRNA in the TDP-43 model, despite preserving nuclear TDP-43 and Brg1, indicating neuroprotective properties other than HSP induction. The data speak to the complexity of drug mechanisms against multiple biomarkers of ALS pathogenesis, as well as to the importance of HSPA8 for neuronal proteostasis in both somata and dendrites.

Abstract
Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal malaria parasite. P. falciparum Hsp70 (PfHsp70) is an essential molecular chaperone (facilitates protein folding) and is deemed a prospective antimalarial drug target. The present study investigates the binding capabilities of select plant derivatives, iso-mukaadial acetate (IMA) and ursolic acid acetate (UAA), against P. falciparum using an in silico docking approach. The interaction between the ligands and PfHsp70 was evaluated using plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis. Molecular docking, binding free energy analysis and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted towards understanding the mechanisms by which the compounds bind to PfHsp70. The molecular docking results revealed ligand flexibilities, conformations and positions of key amino acid residues and protein-ligand interactions as crucial factors accounting for selective inhibition of Hsp70. The simulation results also suggest protein-ligand van der Waals forces as the driving force guiding the interaction of these compounds with PfHsp70. Of the two compounds, UAA and IMA bound to PfHsp70 within the micromolar range based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based binding assay. Our findings pave way for future rational design of new selective compounds targeting PfHsp70.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if 7d of New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) extract alters the heat shock, inflammatory and apoptotic response during prolonged exertional-heat stress. METHODS Ten men (Age: 29 ± 2 years, Stature: 1.82 ± 0.02 m, Mass: 80.3 ± 2.7 kg, V̇O2max: 56 ± 2 mL·kg-1·min-1) ingested two capsules of CurraNZ™ (NZBC extract: 210 mg anthocyanins·day-1) or PLACEBO for 7d prior to 1 h treadmill run (65% V̇O2max) in hot ambient conditions (34 °C/40% RH). Blood samples were collected before (Pre), immediately after (Post), 1 h after (1-Post), and 4 h after (4-Post) exercise. Heat shock proteins (HSP90, HSP70, HSP32) were measured in plasma. HSP and protein markers of inflammatory capacity (TLR4, NF-κB) and apoptosis (BAX/BCL-2, Caspase 9) were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). RESULTS eHSP32 was elevated at baseline in NZBC(+ 31%; p < 0.001). In PLACEBO HSP32 content in PBMC was elevated at 4-Post(+ 98%; p = 0.002), whereas in NZBC it fell at Post(- 45%; p = 0.030) and 1-Post(- 48%; p = 0.026). eHSP70 was increased at Post in PLACEBO(+ 55.6%, p = 0.001) and NZBC (+ 50.7%, p = 0.010). eHSP90 was increased at Post(+ 77.9%, p < 0.001) and 1-Post(+ 73.2%, p < 0.001) in PLACEBO, with similar increases being shown in NZBC (+ 49.0%, p = 0.006 and + 66.2%, p = 0.001; respectively). TLR4 and NF-κB were both elevated in NZBC at PRE(+ 54%, p = 0.003 and + 57%, p = 0.004; respectively). Main effects of study condition were also shown for BAX/BCL-2(p = 0.025) and Caspase 9 (p = 0.043); both were higher in NZBC. CONCLUSION 7d of NZBC extract supplementation increased eHSP32 and PBMC HSP32 content. It also increased inflammatory and apoptotic markers in PBMC, suggesting that NZBC supports the putative inflammatory response that accompanies exertional-heat stress.

Abstract
Diazinon (DZN) is an organophosphate pesticide frequently used in agriculture and released into aquatic environments. In this study, sterlet sturgeon cells were exposed to DZN to investigate possible defense mechanisms via HSP induction (HSPi). Liver, kidney, and gill cells of Acipenser ruthenus were isolated and cultured and then treated with HSPi (Pro-Tex®, amygdalin, and a novel pirano-piranazole-based synthesized compound: SZ) in the presence and absence of DZN. MTT assays were used to evaluate the effects of different HSPis and their combinations with DZN. Western blotting analysis was conducted to evaluate HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90 expression patterns in each group. The highest rates of caspase-3 and caspase-8 activities were found in the DZN group, whereas HSPi treatment resulted in the lowest rates. The combination of HSPi+DZN resulted in increased HSP levels and antioxidant parameters but decreased cortisol, immune parameters, and metabolic enzymes. Many of the studied parameters (caspases, acetylcholinesterase, antioxidant, immune, and metabolic parameters) showed significant correlations with HSP expression, indicating that HSPs may be associated with markers of sterlet cell health. The results of this study demonstrate that using HSP inducers may be a powerful and reliable way to increase A. ruthenus resistance prior to exposure to DZN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are present throughout the brain. They function as molecular chaperones, meaning they help with the folding and unfolding of large protein complexes. These chaperones are vital in the development of neuropathological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disease, with HSP90, a specific subtype of HSP, playing a key role. Many studies have shown that drugs that inhibit HSP90 activity have beneficial effects in the neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, HSP90 PET imaging ligand can be used effectively to study HSP90 in neurodegenerative diseases. Among four HSP90 isoforms, two cytosolic isoforms (HSP90α and HSP90β) thought to be involved in the structural homeostasis of the proteins related to the neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, no useful PET imaging ligands selectively targeting the two cytosolic isoforms of HSP90 have been available yet. RESULTS In this study, we developed a novel positron emission tomography (PET) imaging ligand, [11C]BIIB021, by 11C-radiolabeling (a positron emitter with a half-life of 20.4 min) 6-Chloro-9-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl]-9H-purin-2-amine (BIIB021), an inhibitor with a high affinity for and selectivity to HSP90α and HSP90β. [11C]BIIB021 was synthesized with a high yield, molar activity and radiochemical purity. [11C]BIIB021 showed a high binding affinity for rat brain homogenate as well as human recombinant HSP90α and HSP90β proteins. Radioactivity was well detected in the rat brain (SUV 1.4). It showed clear specific binding in PET imaging of healthy rats and autoradiography of healthy rat and human brain sections. Radiometabolite was detected in the brain, however, total distribution volume was well quantified using dual-input graphical model. Inhibition of p-glycoprotein increased brain radioactivity concentrations. However, total distribution volume values with and without p-glycoprotein inhibition were nearly the same. CONCLUSIONS We have developed a new PET imaging agent, [11C]BIIB021, specifically targeting HSP90α/β. We have been successful in synthesizing [11C]BIIB021 and in vitro and in vivo imaging HSP90α/β. However, the quantification of HSP90α/β is complicated by the presence of radiometabolites in the brain and the potential to be a substrate for p-glycoprotein. Further efforts are needed to develop radioligand suitable for imaging of HSP90α/β.

Abstract
The melon fly Zeugodacus cucurbitae Coquillett (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an agricultural quarantine pest threatening fruit and vegetable production. Heat shock cognate 70 (Hsc70), which is a homolog of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), was first discovered in mice testes and plays an important role in spermatogenesis. In this study, we identified and cloned five Hsc70 genes from melon fly, namely ZcHsc70_1/2/3/4/5. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these proteins are closely related to Hsc70s from other Diptera insects. Spatiotemporal expression analysis showed that ZcHsc70_1 and ZcHsc70_2 are highly expressed in Z. cucurbitae testes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization further demonstrated that ZcHsc70_1 and ZcHsc70_2 are expressed in the transformation and maturation regions of testes, respectively. Moreover, RNA interference-based suppression of ZcHsc70_1 or ZcHsc70_2 resulted in a significant decrease of 74.61% and 63.28% in egg hatchability, respectively. Suppression of ZcHsc70_1 expression delayed the transformation of sperm cells to mature sperms. Meanwhile, suppression of ZcHsc70_2 expression decreased both sperm cells and mature sperms by inhibiting the meiosis of spermatocytes. Our findings show that ZcHsc70_1/2 regulates spermatogenesis and further affects the male fertility in the melon fly, showing potential as targets for pest control in sterile insect technique by genetic manipulation of males.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION Plant Biomarkers are objective indicators of a plant's cellular state in response to abiotic and biotic stress factors. They can be explored in crop breeding and engineering to produce stress-tolerant crop species. Global food production safely and sustainably remains a top priority to feed the ever-growing human population, expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. However, abiotic and biotic stress factors negatively impact food production systems, causing between 70 and 100% reduction in crop yield. Understanding the plant stress responses is critical for developing novel crops that can adapt better to various adverse environmental conditions. Using plant biomarkers as measurable indicators of a plant's cellular response to external stimuli could serve as early warning signals to detect stresses before severe damage occurs. Plant biomarkers have received considerable attention in the last decade as pre-stress indicators for various economically important food crops. This review discusses some biomarkers associated with abiotic and biotic stress conditions and highlights their importance in developing stress-resilient crops. In addition, we highlighted some factors influencing the expression of biomarkers in crop plants under stress. The information presented in this review would educate plant researchers, breeders, and agronomists on the significance of plant biomarkers in stress biology research, which is essential for improving plant growth and yield toward sustainable food production.

Abstract
Hsp90s are molecular chaperones that enhance fish tolerance to high-temperature stress. However, the function of Hsp90s in Seriola aureovittata (yellowtail kingfish) under high-temperature stress remains largely unknown. Here, two Hsp90 isoforms were identified in S. aureovittata by bioinformatics analysis: SaHsp90α and SaHsp90β. The coding sequence of SaHsp90α was 2193-bp long and encoded a polypeptide of 730 amino acids; SaHsp90β was 2178-bp long and encoded a polypeptide of 725 amino acids. SaHsp90α and SaHsp90β both contained a HATPase domain and a HSP90 domain. Their transcripts were detected in all examined S. aureovittata tissues, with relatively high levels in the gonads, head kidney, and intestine. During high-temperature stress at 28 °C, the expression levels of SaHsp90α and SaHsp90β transcripts were significantly increased in liver. After simultaneously knocking down the expression of the SaHsp90s, there was a significant decrease in liver superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and a remarkable increase of malondialdehyde content in liver after high-temperature stress. The expression levels of the key caspase family genes caspase-3 and caspase-7 were also significantly upregulated by high-temperature stress in SaHsp90-knockdown liver. TUNEL labeling demonstrated that the number of apoptotic cells significantly increased in the SaHsp90-knockdown group when high-temperature treatment lasted for 48 h. Protein-protein docking analysis predicted that SaHsp90α and SaHsp90β can bind to S. aureovittata SOD and survivin, which are key proteins for maintenance of redox homeostasis and inhibition of apoptosis. These findings demonstrate that SaHsp90α and SaHsp90β play a crucial role in resistance to high-temperature stress by regulating redox homeostasis and apoptosis in yellowtail kingfish.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies, characterized by insidious onset and high propensity for metastasis and recurrence. Apart from surgical resection, there are no effective curative methods for HCC in recent years, due to resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Heat shock proteins (HSP) play a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and normal organism development as molecular chaperones for intracellular proteins. Both basic research and clinical data have shown that HSPs are crucial participants in the HCC microenvironment, as well as the occurrence, development, metastasis, and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy in various malignancies, particularly liver cancer. This review aims to discuss the molecular mechanisms and potential clinical value of HSPs in HCC, which may provide new insights for HSP-based therapeutic interventions for HCC.

Abstract
The Caspian Sea has faced many environmental challenges, such as oil pollution. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a critical role in stress conditions and physiological changes caused by disease or injury. By evaluating the effects of various HSP inducers (HSPi), including Pro-Tex® (NOP: 800 mM), amygdalin (AMG: 80 mM), and a novel synthetic compound derived from pirano piranazole (SZ: 80 µm) on isolated cells from Sterlet Sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus) treated with 75% IC50 PAH-benzo[a]pyrene (BaP; B75). This study examines whether there is a correlation between exposure to the BaP pollutant and HSPs in fish. In vitro, after culturing cells from the liver, kidney, and gills, they were treated with HSPi compounds in the presence and absence of BaP. Western blotting was used to assess HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90 expression patterns. A variety of enzyme activities were measured before (without treatment) and after treatment with HSPis and HSPi + B75, including cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activity, specific enzyme activity for acetylcholinesterase (AChE), antioxidant capacity, liver indicator enzymes, cortisol levels, and immunity parameters. When compared to the control group, cells treated with B75 showed the lowest AChE enzyme activity (p < 0.0001). CYP450 activity was highest in group B75, while HSPi caused the opposite effect (p < 0.0001). HSPi + B75 increased HSP levels and antioxidant parameters while decreasing cortisol and liver indicator enzymes (p < 0.0001). HSPi may be a powerful and reliable method for enhancing the resistance of A. ruthenus to BaP stresses before exposure. Treating cells with HSP-inducing compounds, such as NOP, AMG, and SZ, can assist them in managing stress and increase HSP (27, 70, and 90) protein expression. Furthermore, the study findings suggest that HSPis can also mitigate the adverse effects of stress, ultimately increasing cell survival and resistance.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient in organisms and an abundant element in the Earth's crust. Trace amounts of Zn released from natural sources can enter aquatic ecosystems through weathering and erosion. Zn accumulates in organisms, and when its intracellular concentration exceeds a certain level, it can induce oxidative stress and trigger oxidative stress-mediated heat shock protein (HSP) modulation. HSP70 is the most evolutionarily conserved among the HSP families. Despite extensive research on HSP70 genes in bivalves, the HSP70 gene family of Tegillarca granosa is still poorly characterized. We identified 65 HSP70 genes belonging to 6 families in the T. granosa genome, with 50 HSPa12 and 11 HSPa B2 genes highly expanded. On chromosome 11, 39 HSP70 (60%) genes were identified, and the HSPa12A genes were highly duplicated. A total of 527 and 538 differentially expressed genes were identified in the gills and mantle based on Zn exposure, respectively. The Gene Ontology of cellular anatomical entities was significantly enriched with upregulated differentially expressed genes in the gills and mantle. Eight of the 11 HSPa B2 genes were upregulated in both tissues. Most of the genes identified in both tissues were involved in "protein homeostasis" and "inhibition of apoptosis," which are associated with the HSP70 family's resistance to extrinsic and intrinsic stress. Hence, this study identified that the HSP70 gene family plays a vital role in the adaptation of aquatic organisms to heavy metal (e.g., Zn) stress in contaminated environments by compiling the different physiological responses to preserve homeostasis.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (HSPs), such as HSP20, represent cellular thermal resistance mechanisms, to avoid protein aggregation at elevated temperatures. Recombinantly expressed HSP20s serve as a molecular tool for improving the tolerance of living cells to various physical and chemical stressors. Here, we aimed to heterologously express 18 HSP20s from 12 thermotolerant bacteria in Escherichia coli and evaluate their effects on various physical and chemical cellular stresses. Seventeen HSP20s were successfully expressed as soluble proteins. Recombinant E. coli cells were subjected to heat, cold, acidic, alkaline, and hyperosmolar stress to evaluate the effects of HSP20 proteins on stress resistance. Notably, the overexpression of 15 HSP20s enhanced the stress resistance of E. coli compared to that of the control strain. In particular, HSPs from Tepidimonas sediminis and Oceanithermus profundus improved the stress tolerance of E. coli under all tested conditions. In addition, E. coli harboring HSP20 from T. sediminis retained cell viability even after heat treatment at 52 °C for 5 days. To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. coli tolerance to prolonged (> 100 h) high-temperature stress. These findings indicate the potential of thermotolerant HSPs as molecular tools for improving stress tolerance in E. coli.

Abstract
Members of Aquareovirus genus, including grass carp reovirus (GCRV), contribute to a serious threat to aquaculture animals accompanied by stress response. Our previous reports revealed that GCRV nonstructural protein NS31 serves as a potent contributor for virus selectively up-regulating specific heat shock protein 70-kd gene(HSP70),however,the mechanism by which inducing HSP70 gene expression is unknown. In this study, we further found that either the N- or C-terminal domain of GCRV NS31 is responsible for enhancing fish HSP70 promoter transcription, and recombinant NS31 protein purified from baculovirus expression system seems to not directly bind HSP70 basic promoter in vitro by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. However, the transcriptional co-activator p300 was identified as a potential interacting partner for NS31 by pull-down assay. Moreover, knock-down of p300 or addition of p300 inhibitor resulted in obviously reduced HSP70 expression by NS31 or GCRV infection suggesting that the well-characterized heat-shock-responsive HSF1/p300 transcriptional complex might involve in the induction of HSP70. These results collectively reveal this aquareovirus generates cell stress response through its nonstructural protein NS31 recruiting transcriptional co-activator p300.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cancer is one of common types of cancer with poor prognosis and limited therapies. Heat shock proteins (HSP) are molecular chaperones that have important roles in tumorigenesis, and emerging as therapeutic targets. Artemisinin and rhein are natural agents from Artemisia annua L. and Rheum undulatum L., respectively. Both rhein and artemisinin have anticancer effects; however, the molecular targets of rhein remain to be identified. It is also unclear whether rhein can synergize with artemisinin derivatives to inhibit liver cancer. PURPOSE We aim to identify the targets of rhein in the treatment of hepatocarcinoma and determine the effects of combining rhein and artemisinin derivatives on liver cancer cells. METHODS The targets of rhein were detected by mass spectrometry and validated by rhein-proteins interaction assays. The effects of rhein on the chaperone activity of HSP72/HSC70/GRP78 were determined by luciferase refolding assays. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by CCK8 and flow cytometry assays. For in vivo study, xenograft tumor models were established and treated with rhein and artesunate. Tumor growth was monitored regularly. RESULTS Mass spectrometry analysis of rhein-binding proteins in HepG2 cells revealed that HSP72, HSC70 and GRP78 were more profoundly pulled down by rhein-crosslinked sepharose 4B beads compared to the control beads. Further experiments demonstrated that rhein directly interacted with HSP72/HSC70/GRP78 proteins, and inhibit their activity of refolding denatured luciferase. Meanwhile, rhein induced proteasomal degradation of HIF1α and β-catenin. Artesunate or dihydroartemisinin in combination with knockdown of both HSP72 and HSC70 significantly inhibited cell viability. The HSP70/HSC70/GRP78 inhibitors VER-155,008 and rhein phenocopied HSP72/HSC70 knockdown, synergizing with artesunate or dihydroartemisinin to inhibit hepatocarcinoma cell viability. Combinatorial treatment with rhein and artemisinin derivatives significantly induced hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis, and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrates that rhein is a novel HSP72/HSC70/GRP78 inhibitor that suppresses the chaperone activity of HSP70s. Dual inhibition of HSP72 and HSC70 can enhance the sensitivity of hepatocarcinoma cells to artemisinin derivatives. Combined treatment with artemisinin derivative and rhein significantly inhibits hepatocarcinoma. Artemisinin derivatives in combination with dual inhibition of HSP72 and HSC70 represents a new approach to improve cancer therapy.

Abstract
Misfolded and aggregated proteins build up in neurodegenerative illnesses, which causes neuronal dysfunction and ultimately neuronal death. In the last few years, there has been a significant upsurge in the level of interest towards the function of molecular chaperones in the control of misfolding and aggregation. The crucial molecular chaperones implicated in neurodegenerative illnesses are covered in this review article, along with a variety of their different methods of action. By aiding in protein folding, avoiding misfolding, and enabling protein breakdown, molecular chaperones serve critical roles in preserving protein homeostasis. By aiding in protein folding, avoiding misfolding, and enabling protein breakdown, molecular chaperones have integral roles in preserving regulation of protein balance. It has been demonstrated that aging, a significant risk factor for neurological disorders, affects how molecular chaperones function. The aggregation of misfolded proteins and the development of neurodegeneration may be facilitated by the aging-related reduction in chaperone activity. Molecular chaperones have also been linked to the pathophysiology of several instances of neuron withering illnesses, enumerating as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Molecular chaperones have become potential therapy targets concerning with the prevention and therapeutic approach for brain disorders due to their crucial function in protein homeostasis and their connection to neurodegenerative illnesses. Protein homeostasis can be restored, and illness progression can be slowed down by methods that increase chaperone function or modify their expression. This review emphasizes the importance of molecular chaperones in the context of neuron withering disorders and their potential as therapeutic targets for brain disorders.

Abstract
Developing effective strategies to prevent diarrhea and associated-gut disorders in mammals has gained great significance. Owing to the many health benefits provided by the commensal microbiota of the intestinal tract, such as against environmental perturbation, we explored the host phenotype-associated microbes and their probiotic potential. Based on the observations that the chronic heat stress-exposed weaned piglets present as heat stress-susceptible (HS-SUS) or heat stress-resistant (HS-RES) individuals, we confirmed the phenotypic difference between the two on growth performance (P < 0.05), diarrhea index (P < 0.001), intestinal heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) regulation (P < 0.01), and inflammatory responses (P < 0.01). By comparing the gut microbiome using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and KEGG functional analysis, we found that Lactobacillus johnsonii exhibited significantly higher relative abundance in the HS-RES piglets than in the HS-SUS ones (P < 0.05). Further experiments using a mouse model for chemical-induced inflammation and intestinal injury demonstrated that oral administration of a representative L. johnsonii N5 (isolated from the HS-RES piglets) ameliorated the clinical and histological signs of colitis while suppressing intestinal pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 production (P < 0.05). We found that N5 treatment enhanced tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin and cytoprotective HSP70 levels under physiological condition and restored their mucosal expressions in colitis (P < 0.05). In support of the high production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, N5 promoted the intestinal Peyer's patches MHCII+ and CD103+ dendritic cell populations (P < 0.05), increased the regulatory T (Treg) cell numbers (P < 0.05), and decreased the Th17 population and its IL-17a production under physiological condition and during colitis (P < 0.01). Our results shed light on understanding the interaction between commensal Lactobacillus and the host health, and provide L. johnsonii N5 as an alternative to antibiotics for preventing diarrhea and intestinal diseases.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) represents a prevalent form of cancer, with low early diagnosis rates and high mortality rates, posing a global health challenge. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) assume a crucial role within the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) of LUAD. Here, a collection of 97 HSP-related genes (HSPGs) was assembled based on prior literature reports, of which 36 HSPGs were differentially expressed in LUAD. In The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort, we constructed a prognostic model for risk stratification and prognosis prediction by integrating 13 HSPGs. In addition, the prognostic significance and predictive efficacy of the HSP-related riskscore were examined and validated in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohort. To facilitate the clinical use of this riskscore, we also established a nomogram scale by verifying its effectiveness through different methods. In light of these outcomes, we concluded a significant correlation between HSPs and TME in LUAD, and the riskscore can be a reliable prognostic indicator. Furthermore, this study evaluated the differences in immunophenoscore, tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion score, and sensitivity to several common chemotherapy drugs among LUAD individuals in different risk groups, which may aid in clinical decision-making for immune therapy and chemotherapy in LUAD individuals.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by sustained hyperglycemia caused by impaired insulin signaling and secretion. Metabolic stress, caused by an inappropriate diet, is one of the major hallmarks provoking inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of highly conserved proteins that have a crucial role in chaperoning damaged and misfolded proteins to avoid disruption of cellular homeostasis under stress conditions. To do this, HSPs interact with diverse intra-and extracellular pathways among which are the insulin signaling, insulin secretion, and apoptosis pathways. Therefore, HSP dysfunction, e.g. HSP70, may lead to disruption of the pathways responsible for insulin secretion and uptake. Consistently, the altered expression of other HSPs and genetic polymorphisms in HSP-producing genes in diabetic subjects has made HSPs hot research in T2DM. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the role of different HSPs in T2DM pathogenesis, affected cellular pathways, and the potential therapeutic strategies targeting HSPs in T2DM.

Abstract
Metazoan 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) genes have been classified into four lineages: cytosolic A (HSP70cA), cytosolic B (HSP70cB), endoplasmic reticulum (HSP70er), and mitochondria (HSP70m). Because previous studies have identified no HSP70cA genes in vertebrates, we hypothesized that this gene was lost on the evolutionary path to vertebrates. To test this hypothesis, the present study conducted a comprehensive database search followed by phylogenetic and synteny analyses. HSP70cA genes were found in invertebrates and in two of the three subphyla of Chordata, Cephalochordata (lancelets) and Tunicata (tunicates). However, no HSP70cA gene was found in the genomes of Craniata (another subphylum of Chordata; lamprey, hagfish, elephant shark, and coelacanth), suggesting the loss of the HSP70cA gene in the early period of vertebrate evolution. Synteny analysis using available genomic resources indicated that the synteny around the HSP70 genes was generally conserved between tunicates but was largely different between tunicates and lamprey. These results suggest the presence of dynamic chromosomal rearrangement in early vertebrates that possibly caused the loss of the HSP70cA gene in the vertebrate lineage.

Abstract
Heat-related illness is becoming more problematic due to ongoing global warming. Heat-related injury causes systemic inflammation and coagulopathy, due to leukocyte, platelet, and vascular endothelial cell activation and injury. Hyperthermia directly modulates platelet function and can induce cellular damage. Meanwhile, heat also affects platelet function via activated coagulation, excess inflammation, production of cytokines, and heat shock proteins. Aberrant hyperthermia-induced interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells are also involved in platelet regulation. Heat-induced coagulopathy commonly progresses to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), leading to multiple organ failure and in some cases enhanced bleeding. Consequently, platelet count, prothrombin time, and DIC score are useful for evaluating the severity of heat-related illness in addition to other organ damage markers such as Glasgow Coma Scale, creatinine, and bilirubin. Despite the increasing risk, therapeutic modalities targeting platelets are limited and no established therapy exists. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the role of platelets in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of heat-related illness.

Abstract
Species in Triplophysa display strong adaptability to the extreme environment of the plateau, thus offering an ideal model to study the molecular mechanism of fish adaptation to environmental stress. In the present study, we conducted integrated analysis of the transcriptome and metabolism of liver tissue in Triplophysa siluroides under heat stress (28 °C) and control (10 °C) conditions to identify heat stress-induced genes, metabolites and pathways. RNA-Seq identified 2373 differentially expressed genes, which consisted of 1360 upregulated genes and 1013 downregulated genes, in the heat stress group vs. the control group. Genes in the heat shock protein (Hsp) family, including Hsp40, Hsp70, Hsp90 and other Hsps, were strongly upregulated by heat stress. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) pathways were significantly affected by heat stress. Metabolism sequencing identified a total of 155 differentially abundant metabolites, including 118 significantly upregulated metabolites and 37 downregulated metabolites. Combined analysis of the transcriptome and metabolism results showed that ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis and purine metabolism pathways were enhanced in response to acute heat stress to protect cells from damage under stress conditions. The results of this study may contribute to our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism of the heat stress response in cold-water fish.

Abstract
Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, a thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon, frequently encounters temperature fluctuations, oxidative stress, and nutrient limitations in its environment. Here, we employed a high-throughput transcriptomic analysis to examine how the gene expression of S. acidocaldarius changes when exposed to high temperatures (92 °C). The data obtained was subsequently validated using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Our particular focus was on genes that are involved in the heat shock response, type-II Toxin-Antitoxin systems, and putative transcription factors. To investigate how S. acidocaldarius adapts to multiple stressors, we assessed the expression of these selected genes under oxidative and nutrient stresses using qRT-PCR analysis. The results demonstrated that the gene thβ encoding the β subunit of the thermosome, as well as hsp14 and hsp20, play crucial roles in the majority of stress conditions. Furthermore, we observed overexpression of at least eight different TA pairs belonging to the type II TA systems under all stress conditions. Additionally, four common transcription factors: FadR, TFEβ, CRISPR loci binding protein, and HTH family protein were consistently overexpressed across all stress conditions, indicating their significant role in managing stress. Overall, this work provides the first insight into molecular players involved in the cross-stress adaptation of S. acidocaldarius.

Abstract
Heat acclimation/acclimatisation (HA) mitigates heat-related decrements in physical capacity and heat-illness risk and is a widely advocated countermeasure for individuals operating in hot environments. The efficacy of HA is typically quantified by assessing the thermo-physiological responses to a standard heat acclimation state test (i.e. physiological biomarkers), but this can be logistically challenging, time consuming, and expensive. A valid molecular biomarker of HA would enable evaluation of the heat-adapted state through the sampling and assessment of a biological medium. This narrative review examines candidate molecular biomarkers of HA, highlighting the poor sensitivity and specificity of these candidates and identifying the current lack of a single 'standout' biomarker. It concludes by considering the potential of multivariable approaches that provide information about a range of physiological systems, identifying a number of challenges that must be overcome to develop a valid molecular biomarker of the heat-adapted state, and highlighting future research opportunities.

Abstract
Numerous studies have documented that the interaction of viral and cellular proteins is essential in the viral life cycle. In our previous study, to screen cellular proteins that take part in the life cycle of JEV, cellular proteins that interacted with JEV NS3 were identified by Co-immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry analysis (Co-IP-MS), the results showed that ILF2, DnaJA1, DnaJA2, CKB, TUFM, and PABPC1 that putatively interact with NS3. Another candidate protein, DnaJA2, which interacted with JEV NS3 protein, was selected for further study. Overexpression of DnaJA2 increased JEV infection. Conversely, the knockdown of DnaJA2 suppressed JEV infection. Furthermore, DnaJA2 interacted with NS5 besides NS3 and colocalized with viral dsRNA. Additionally, the level of viral NS3 protein expression was higher in cells overexpressing DnaJA2 than in cells with empty vector expression, whereas DnaJA2 knockdown resulted in NS3 protein degradation, which was subsequently restored by MG132 treatment. Further analysis revealed that the C-terminal of DnaJA2 was a critical domain for interaction with NS3 and promoted JEV infection. Collectively, our study identified DnaJA2 as an essential host factor required for JEV infection, potentially representing a novel therapeutic target for the development of antiviral therapies against JEV.

Abstract
Thermal tolerance and associated mechanisms are often tested via the critical thermal maximum (CTmax). The agitation temperature is a recently described thermal limit in fishes that has received little mechanistic evaluation. The present study used a temperate elasmobranch fish to test the hypothesis that this thermal tolerance trait is partially set by the onset of declining cardiorespiratory performance and the cellular stress response. Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi) were screened for cardiorespiratory and whole-organism thermal limits to test for associations between thermal performance and tolerance. Then, biochemical markers of secondary stress, aerobic and anaerobic enzyme activities, and molecular markers of cellular stress were determined for various tissues at the agitation temperature and secondary stress markers were determined at CTmax. In dogfish, the agitation temperature was characterised by increased turning activity within experimental chambers and was equal to the temperature at which dogfish exhibited maximum heart rate. Citrate synthase activity increased at the agitation temperature in white muscle relative to unmanipulated dogfish. Furthermore, lactate dehydrogenase activity and accumulated lactate in the plasma and muscle were not affected by acute warming. Cellular stress was apparent in hypothalamus, gill filament and ventricle, denoted by elevated transcript abundance of the stress response gene hsp70 but not the oxygen homeostasis gene hif1α. Conversely, CTmax was characterised by metabolic acidosis driven by anaerobic lactate production, signifying an increased reliance on anaerobic metabolism between the agitation temperature and CTmax. Together, these data provide partial support for our hypothesis, in that cellular stress, but not declining thermal performance, occurred at the agitation temperature.

Abstract
Hsp70 proteins function as molecular chaperones, regulating various cellular processes in plants. In this study, a genome-wide analysis led to the identification of 22 Hsp70 (MeHsp70) genes in cassava. Phylogenetic relationship studies with other Malpighiales genomes (Populus trichocarpa, Ricinus communis and Salix purpurea) classified MeHsp70 proteins into eight groups (Ia, Ib, Ic, Id, Ie, If, IIa and IIb). Promoter analysis of MeHsp70 genes revealed the presence of tissue-specific, light, biotic and abiotic stress-responsive cis-regulatory elements showing their functional importance in cassava. Meta-analysis of publically available RNA-seq transcriptome datasets showed constitutive, tissue-specific, biotic and abiotic stress-specific expression patterns among MeHsp70s in cassava. Among 22 Hsp70, six MeHsp70s viz., MecHsp70-3, MecHsp70-6, MeBiP-1, MeBiP-2, MeBiP-3 and MecpHsp70-2 displayed constitutive expression, while three MecHsp70s were induced under both drought and cold stress conditions. Five MeHsp70s, MecHsp70-7, MecHsp70-11, MecHsp70-12, MecHsp70-13, and MecHsp70-14 were induced under drought stress conditions. We predicted that 19 MeHsp70 genes are under the regulation of 24 miRNAs. This comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the Hsp70 gene family in cassava provided valuable insights into their functional roles and identified various potential Hsp70 genes associated with stress tolerance and adaptation to environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Objective: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play key roles in the malignant transformation and progression of many tumors. However, the effectiveness of using HSP-related genes to predict the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer (CC) remains elusive. We aimed to delineate the prognosis and biological significance of HSP-related genes in CC. Methods: We collected the transcriptional and clinical data of CC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and searched for HSP-related genes in the literature. LASSO and univariate/multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to screen genes; 12 genes were found to be related to CC survival, and a prediction model was built. The effectiveness of the model was confirmed using TCGA and GEO, and it was found to be an independent predictor of CC. The nomogram is plotted. The prognostic model was further visualized using calibration curves, which showed good agreement with the predicted outcomes at 1-, 3, and 5 years. Results: We found that low-risk patients had higher immune cell infiltration and stronger immune function, and according to the immunophenoscore and TIDE scores, the low-risk group tended to respond more to immunotherapy. Additionally, we used the GDSC database to predict drug sensitivity in patients with different prognostic risks. Conclusion: In summary, we built a good model to help predict the prognosis of CC patients and provide a reference for personalized treatment and medication for different patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleurotus giganteus is a commonly cultivated mushroom with notable high temperature resistance, making it significant for the growth of the edible fungi industry in the tropics. Despite its practical importance,, the genetic mechanisms underlying its ability to withstand high temperature tolerance remain elusive. RESULTS In this study, we performed high-quality genome sequencing of a monokaryon isolated from a thermotolerant strain of P. giganteus. The genome size was found to be 40.11 Mb, comprising 17 contigs and 13,054 protein-coding genes. Notably, some genes related to abiotic stress were identified in genome, such as genes regulating heat shock protein, protein kinase activity and signal transduction. These findings provide valuable insights into the genetic basis of P. giganteus' high temperature resistance. Furthermore, the phylogenetic tree showed that P. giganteus was more closely related to P. citrinopileatus than other Pleurotus species. The divergence time between Pleurotus and Lentinus was estimated as 153.9 Mya, and they have a divergence time with Panus at 168.3 Mya, which proved the taxonomic status of P. giganteus at the genome level. Additionally, a comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted between mycelia treated with 40 °C heat shock for 18 h (HS) and an untreated control group (CK). Among the 2,614 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 1,303 genes were up-regulated and 1,311 were down-regulated in the HS group. The enrichment analysis showed that several genes related to abiotic stress, including heat shock protein, DnaJ protein homologue, ubiquitin protease, transcription factors, DNA mismatch repair proteins, and zinc finger proteins, were significantly up-regulated in the HS group. These genes may play important roles in the high temperature adaptation of P. giganteus. Six DEGs were selected according to fourfold expression changes and were validated by qRT-PCR, laying a good foundation for further gene function analysis. CONCLUSION Our study successfully reported a high-quality genome of P. giganteus and identified genes associated with high-temperature tolerance through an integrative analysis of the genome and transcriptome. This study lays a crucial foundation for understanding the high-temperature tolerance mechanism of P. giganteus, providing valuable insights for genetic modification of P. giganteus strains and the development of high-temperature strains for the edible fungus industry, particularly in tropical regions.

Abstract
During the dam discharging period, the strong aeration of high-speed water leads to the supersaturation of total dissolved gas (TDG) in the downstream water, which causes gas bubble disease (GBD) in fish and threatens their survival. TDG supersaturation has now become an ecological and environmental issue of global concern; however, the molecular mechanism underlying the physiological effect of TDG supersaturation on fish is poorly known. Here, we comprehensively investigated the effect of TDG supersaturation on Pelteobagrus fulvidraco at the histopathological, biochemical, transcriptomic, and metabolomic levels. After exposure to 116% TDG, P. fulvidraco exhibited classic GBD symptoms and pathological changes in gills. The level of superoxide dismutase was highly significantly decreased. Transcriptomic results revealed that heat shock proteins (HSPs) and a large number of genes involved in immunity were increased by TDG stress. A key environmental sensor PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway was significantly stimulated for defence against stress. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that key metabolites and genes were upregulated in the triacylglycerol synthesis pathway and that amino acid levels decreased, which might be associated with TDG supersaturation stress. The present study demonstrated that TDG supersaturation could cause severe physiological damage in fish. HSP genes, immune functions, and energy metabolic pathways were enhanced to counteract the adverse effects.

Abstract
Arabidopsis sepals coordinate flower opening in the morning as ambient temperature rises; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Mutation of one heat shock protein encoding gene, HSP70-16, impaired sepal heat stress responses (HSR), disrupting lipid metabolism, especially sepal cuticular lipids, leading to abnormal flower opening. To further explore, to what extent, lipids play roles in this process, in this study, we compared lipidomic changes in sepals of hsp70-16 and vdac3 (mutant of a voltage-dependent anion channel, VDAC3, an HSP70-16 interactor) grown under both normal (22 °C) and mild heat stress (27 °C, mild HS) temperatures. Under normal temperature, neither hsp70-16 nor vdac3 sepals showed significant changes in total lipids; however, vdac3 but not hsp70-16 sepals exhibited significant reductions in the ratios of all detected 11 lipid classes, except the monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDGs). Under mild HS temperature, hsp70-16 but not vdac3 sepals showed dramatic reduction in total lipids. In addition, vdac3 sepals exhibited a significant accumulation of plastidic lipids, especially sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerols (SQDGs) and phosphatidylglycerols (PGs), whereas hsp70-16 sepals had a significant accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) and simultaneous dramatic reductions in SQDGs and phospholipids (PLs), such as phosphatidylcholines (PCs), phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), and phosphatidylserines (PSs). These findings revealed that the impact of mild HS on sepal lipidome is influenced by genetic factors, and further, that HSP70-16 and VDAC3 differently affect sepal lipidomic responses to mild HS. Our studies provide a lipidomic insight into functions of HSP and VDAC proteins in the plant's HSR, in the context of floral development.

Abstract
Objective Previous laboratory reports implicate heat shock protein (HSP)-specific T-cell responses in glaucoma pathogenesis; here, we aimed to provide direct clinical evidence by correlating systemic HSP-specific T-cell levels with glaucoma severity in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Design Cross-sectional case-control study. Subjects Thirty-two adult patients with POAG and 38 controls underwent blood draw and optic nerve imaging. Methods Peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) were stimulated in culture with HSP27, α-crystallin, a member of the small HSP family, or HSP60. Both interferon-γ (IFN-γ)+ CD4+ T helper type 1 cells (Th1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)+ CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg) were quantified by flow cytometry and presented as a percentage of total PBMC counts. Relevant cytokines were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured with OCT. Pearson's correlation (r) was used to assess correlations. Main Outcome Measures Correlations of HSP-specific T-cell counts, and serum levels of corresponding cytokine levels with RNFLT. Results Patients with POAG (visual field mean deviation, -4.7 ± 4.0 dB) and controls were similar in age, gender, and body mass index. Moreover, 46.9% of POAG and 60.0% of control subjects had prior cataract surgery (P = 0.48). Although no significant difference in total nonstimulated CD4+ Th1 or Treg cells was detected, patients with POAG exhibited significantly higher frequencies of Th1 cells specific for HSP27, α-crystallin, or HSP60 than controls (7.3 ± 7.9% vs. 2.6 ± 2.0%, P = 0.004; 5.8 ± 2.7% vs. 1.8 ± 1.3%, P < 0.001; 13.2 ± 13.3 vs. 4.3 ± 5.2, P = 0.01; respectively), but similar Treg specific for the same HSPs compared with controls (P ≥ 0.10 for all). Concordantly, the serum levels of IFN-γ were higher in POAG than in controls (36.2 ± 12.1 pg/ml vs. 10.0 ± 4.3 pg/ml; P < 0.001), but TGF-β1 levels did not differ. Average RNFLT of both eyes negatively correlated with HSP27- and α-crystallin-specific Th1 cell counts, and IFN-γ levels in all subjects after adjusting for age (partial correlation coefficient r = -0.31, P = 0.03; r = -0.52, p = 0.002; r = -0.72, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions Higher levels of HSP-specific Th1 cells are associated with thinner RNFLT in patients with POAG and control subjects. The significant inverse relationship between systemic HSP-specific Th1 cell count and RNFLT supports the role of these T cells in glaucomatous neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Diuron is one of the most frequently applied herbicides in sugarcane farming in southern Japan, and Australia. In addition, it is used as a booster substance in copper-based antifouling paints. Due to these various uses, Diuron is released into the marine environment; however, little information is available on gene expression in corals and their symbiotic algae exposed to Diuron. We investigated the effects of Diuron on stress-responsive gene expression in the hermatypic coral Acropora tenuis and its symbiotic dinoflagellates. After seven days of exposure to 1 µg/L and 10 µg/L Diuron, no significant changes in the body colour of corals were observed. However, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed that the expression levels of stress-responsive genes, such as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), HSP70, and calreticulin (CALR), were significantly downregulated in corals exposed to 10 µg/L of Diuron for seven days. Moreover, aquaglyceroporin was significantly downregulated in corals exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of 1 µg/L Diuron. In contrast, no such effects were observed on the expression levels of other stress-responsive genes, such as oxidative stress-responsive proteins, methionine adenosyltransferase, and green/red fluorescent proteins. Diuron exposure had no significant effect on the expression levels of HSP90, HSP70, or HSP40 in the symbiotic dinoflagellates. These results suggest that stress-responsive genes, such as HSPs, respond differently to Diuron in corals and their symbiotic dinoflagellates and that A. tenuis HSPs and CALRs may be useful molecular biomarkers for predicting stress responses induced by the herbicide Diuron.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases, which seriously threaten human health. Thus, finding a safe, effective and economical strategy to treat insulin resistance is urgently needed. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise combined with heat treatment on the insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle of diet-induced obese (DIO) rats. Obese rats were induced by a 10-week high-fat diet and were randomly divided into normal temperature + control (NC), normal temperature + exercise (NE), heat treatment + control (HC) and heat treatment + exercise (HE) groups for 7 weeks of incremental load endurance exercise and heat treatment (exposure to a high-temperature environment room). At the end of the 7-week intervention, we measured fasting blood glucose, serum fasting insulin, serum leptin, serum adiponectin, protein expression of HSF1/HSP27 and JAK2/STAT3 pathway in soleus (primarily composed of slow-twitch fibres) and extensor digitorum longus (primarily composed of fast-twitch fibres) muscles. The results showed that exercise combined with heat treatment can effectively improve insulin resistance by regulating HSF1/HSP27 and JAK2/STAT3 pathways in the slow-twitch muscle of DIO rats. Importantly, exercise combined with heat treatment is more effective in improving insulin resistance in DIO rats than exercise or heat treatment alone. Low-moderate intensity exercise that stimulates slow-twitch muscle, combined with heat treatment is an effective strategy to treat insulin resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a protein involved in many different biological processes and especially in cell survival. Some of these functions require the participation of other biological molecules, so Hsp90 is a chaperone that takes part in many protein-protein interactions working as a critical signaling hub protein. As a member of the heat shock protein family, Hsp90 expression is regulated under certain environmental and/or stressful situations, therefore Hsp90 concentration can be monitored and linked to these effects. AREAS COVERED This review discusses the Hsp90 expression in samples from individuals affected by different diseases (from infectious to cancer origin), and the biological consequences of these disorders, including the potential use of Hsp90 as a biomarker for the diagnosis of human diseases. EXPERT OPINION The potential of Hsp90 as a biomarker disease has been demonstrated in several studies in relation to infectious diseases and especially cancer. However, further research in this field is still needed, mainly to validate in statistically significant clinical studies that the detection of Hsp90 protein allows the diagnosis of some cancers at an early stage and also that it can act as a biomarker for monitoring the efficacy of their therapies.

Abstract
BiP (immunoglobulin heavy-chain Binding Protein) is a Hsp70 monomeric ATPase motor that plays broad and crucial roles maintaining proteostasis inside the cell. Structurally, BiP is formed by two domains, a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) with ATPase activity connected by a flexible hydrophobic linker to the substrate-binding domain (SBD). While the ATPase and substrate binding activities of BiP are allosterically coupled, the latter is also dependent on nucleotide binding. Recent structural studies have provided new insights into BiP's allostery; however, the influence of temperature on the coupling between substrate and nucleotide binding to BiP remains unexplored. Here we study BiP's binding to its substrate at the single molecule level using thermo-regulated optical tweezers which allows us to mechanically unfold the client protein and explore the effect of temperature and different nucleotides on BiP binding. Our results confirm that the affinity of BiP for its protein substrate relies on nucleotide binding, by mainly regulating the binding kinetics between BiP and its substrate. Interestingly, our findings also showed that the apparent affinity of BiP for its protein substrate in the presence of nucleotides remains invariable over a wide range of temperatures, suggesting that BiP may interact with its client proteins with similar affinities even when the temperature is not optimal. Thus, BiP could play a role as a "thermal buffer" in proteostasis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Intraoperatively acquired pressure injuries (IAPIs) occur frequently among patients who undergo surgical procedures that last longer than 3 h. Several studies indicated that heat shock proteins (HSPs) play an important role in the protection of stress-induced damages in skin tissues. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential preventive effect of thermal preconditioning (TPC) on IAPIs in surgical patients and rats and to identify the differentially expressed HSP genes in response to the above treatment. TPC was performed on one group of hairless rats before the model of pressure injuries was established. Subsequently, the size of skin lesions was measured and the expression levels of mRNA and protein of HSPs of the pressured skin were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot, and immunohistochemical staining. For human studies, 118 surgical patients were randomly divided into the TPC group (n = 59) and the control group (n = 59), respectively. The temperature and pressure of sacral skin, as well as the incidence of pressure injury (PI) were detected and compared. In animal studies, TPC significantly reduced both the size and incidence of PI in rats on the second, third and fourth days post treatment. In addition, the expression levels of both mRNA and protein of HSP27 were increased in the TPC group, compared with the control group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that HSP27 was distributed in various types of dermal cells and increased in basal cells. In human studies, a significant reduction (75%) of IAPIs was observed among the patients in the TPC group. TPC can reduce the incidence of PI in rats and humans, and the upregulation of HSP27 may play an important role in this biological progress. Further studies are warranted to explore the molecular mechanism of the preventive effect in PI mediated by HSP27.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated temperature can directly affect the insect pest population dynamics. Many experimental studies have indicated that high temperatures affect the biological and ecological characteristics of the widely distributed crop pest Aphis gossypii, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its response to heat stress remain unstudied. Here, we used transcriptomic analysis to explore the key genes and metabolic pathways involved in the regulation of thermotolerance in A. gossypii at 29 °C, 32 °C, and 35 °C. RESULTS The results of bioinformatics analysis show that few genes were consistently differentially expressed among the higher temperature treatments compared to 29 °C, and a moderate temperature increase of 3 °C can elicit gene expression changes that help A. gossypii adapt to warmer temperatures. Based on KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, we found that genes encoding four heat shock protein 70 s (Hsp70s) and nine cathepsin B (CathB) proteins were significantly upregulated at 35 °C compared with 32 °C. Genes related to glutathione production were also highly enriched between 32 °C and 29 °C. Silencing of two Hsp70s (ApHsp70A1-1 and ApHsp68) and two CathBs (ApCathB01 and ApCathB02) with RNA interference using a nanocarrier-based transdermal dsRNA delivery system significantly increased sensitivity of A. gossypii to high temperatures. CONCLUSION A. gossypii is able to fine-tune its response across a range of temperatures, and Hsp70 and CathB genes are essential for adaption of A. gossypii to warmer temperatures. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), which is caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), show poor prognosis because of drug resistance. Heat shock protein (HSP) 90 is reportedly essential for ATL cell survival as it regulates important signaling pathways, thereby making HSP90 inhibitors new therapeutic candidates for ATL. However, HSP90 inhibition increases the expression of other HSPs, suggesting that HSPs may contribute to drug resistance. The heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) transcription factor is the primary regulator of the expression of HSPs. Furthermore, targeting HSF1 disrupts the HSP90 chaperone function. Herein, we demonstrated that HSF1 is overexpressed in HTLV-1-infected T cells. HSF1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation of HTLV-1-infected T cells. HSF1 inhibitor KRIBB11 reduced the expression and phosphorylation of HSF1, downregulated HSP70 and HSP27 expression, and suppressed Akt, nuclear factor-κB, and AP-1 signals. KRIBB11 treatment induced DNA damage, upregulated p53 and p21, and reduced the expression of cyclin D2/E, CDK2/4, c-Myc, MDM2, and β-catenin, thereby preventing retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation and inhibiting G1-S cell cycle progression. KRIBB11 also induced caspase-mediated apoptosis concomitant with the suppression of Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, XIAP, c-IAP1/2, and survivin expression. KRIBB11 inhibited HSP70 and HSP90 upregulation through treatment with AUY922, an HSP90 inhibitor, and enhanced the cytotoxic effect of AUY922, suggesting a salvage role of HSF1-dependent HSP induction in response to drug treatment. Finally, treatment of mice with KRIBB11 reduced ATL tumor growth. Therefore, this study provides a strong rationale to target HSF1 and validates the anti-ATL activity of KRIBB11.

Abstract
Repeated mild traumatic brain injury (rTBI), one of the most common forms of traumatic brain injury, is a worldwide severe public health concern. rTBI induces cumulative neuronal injury, neurological dysfunction, and cognitive deficits. Although there are clinical treatment methods, there is still an urgent need to develop preventive approaches for susceptible populations. Using a repeated closed head injury (rCHI) rat model, we interrogate the effect of sub-lethal hyperthermia preconditioning (SHP) on rCHI-induced neuronal injury and behavioral changes. Our study applied the repeated weight-drop model to induce the rCHI. According to the changes of heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) in the cortex and hippocampus following a single SHP treatment in normal rats, the SHP was delivered to the rats 18 hours before rCHI. We found that HSP significantly alleviated rCHI-induced anxiety-like behaviors and impairments in motor abilities and spatial memory. SHP exerts significant neuroprotection against rCHI-induced neuronal damage, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation. Our findings support the potential use of SHP as a preventative approach for alleviating rCHI-induced brain damage.

Abstract
Heat stress (HS) affects cell culture as well as animal production. Although there have been many reports on the disparate effects of heat stress, its effects on mammalian muscle stem cells are still unclear. In this study, we isolated porcine muscle satellite cells (PMSCs) from the femurs of 1-day-old piglets, and cultured them under three temperature conditions: 37 °C, 39 °C, and 41 °C. Exposure to HS not only decreased the viability and proliferation rates of PMSCs, but also regulated the cell cycle and induced apoptosis. High-temperature culture conditions decreased both protein and gene expression of Pax7, a proliferation and maintenance marker of muscle satellite cells, whereas it increased both protein and gene expression of MyoG, a differentiation marker, and promoted myotube formation in the early stage of differentiation induction. In addition, the protein and gene expression of several heat shock proteins (HSPs) in PMSCs increased due to heat treatment. In conclusion, HS induced the cell cycle arrest of PMSCs, thereby reducing the proliferation rate. In addition, high-temperature culture conditions promoted the formation of myotubes at the early stage of differentiation of PMSCs without additives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In synthetic biology, the strength of promoter elements is the basis for precise regulation of target gene transcription levels, which in turn increases the yield of the target product. However, the results of many researches proved that excessive transcription levels of target genes actually reduced the yield of the target product. This phenomenon has been found in studies using different microorganisms as chassis cells, thus, it becomes a bottleneck problem to improve the yield of the target product. RESULTS In this study, promoters PGK1p and TDH3p with different strengths were used to regulate the transcription level of alcohol acetyl transferase encoding gene ATF1. The results demonstrated that the strong promoter TDH3p decreased the production of ethyl acetate. The results of Real-time PCR proved that the transcription level of ATF1 decreased rapidly under the control of TDH3p, and the unfolded protein reaction was activated, which may be the reason for the abnormal production caused by the strong promoter. RNA-sequencing analysis showed that the overexpression of differential gene HSP30 increased the transcriptional abundance of ATF1 gene and production of ethyl acetate. Interestingly, deletion of the heat shock protein family (e.g., Hsp26, Hsp78, Hsp82) decreased the production of ethyl acetate, suggesting that the Hsp family was also involved in the regulation of ATF1 gene transcription. Furthermore, the results proved that the Hsf1, an upstream transcription factor of Hsps, had a positive effect on alleviating the unfolded protein response and that overexpression of Hsf1 reprogramed the pattern of ATF1 gene transcript levels. The combined overexpression of Hsf1 and Hsps further increased the production of ethyl acetate. In addition, kinase Rim15 may be involved in this regulatory pathway. Finally, the regulation effect of Hsf1 on recombinant strains constructed by other promoters was verified, which confirmed the universality of the strategy. CONCLUSIONS Our results elucidated the mechanism by which Rim15-Hsf1-Hsps pathway reconstructed the repression of high transcription level stress and increased the production of target products, thereby providing new insights and application strategies for the construction of recombinant strains in synthetic biology.

Abstract
Proteostasis is maintained by a network of molecular chaperones, a prominent member of which is the 90-kilodalton heat shock protein Hsp90. The chaperone function of Hsp90 has been extensively reviewed previously, emphasizing its ATPase activity and remodeling of folded client proteins. Experimental evidence implicating Hsp90 in neurodegenerative diseases has bolstered interest in the noncanonical chaperoning of intrinsically disordered protein (IDPs), however the interplay between Hsp90 and its disordered clients remains poorly understood. In this review we describe recent advances that have contributed to our understanding of the intricate mechanisms characterizing Hsp90-mediated chaperoning of the IDPs tau and α-synuclein and survey emerging insights into the modulation of the chaperone-client interplay in the context of neurodegeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) is a critical pathological feature of kidney disease leading to renal fibrosis, and its treatment remains a major clinical challenge. We sought to explore the role of quercetin, a potential exosomes inhibitor, in exosomes release and TII. METHODS The effects of quercetin on exosomes release and TII were examined by two TII mouse models: the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) models and the LPS-induced mouse models. In vitro, exosomes-mediated crosstalk between tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and macrophages was performed to investigate the mechanisms by which quercetin inhibited exosomes and TII. RESULTS In this study, we found that exosomes-mediated crosstalk between TECs and macrophages contributed to the development of TII. In vitro, exosomes released from LPS-stimulated TECs induced increased expression of inflammatory cytokines and fibrotic markers in Raw264·7 cells and vice versa. Interestingly, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) or Hsp90 proteins could control exosomes release from TECs and macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, quercetin, a previously recognized heat shock protein inhibitor, could significantly reduce exosomes release in TII models by down-regulating Hsp70 or Hsp90. Quercetin abrogated exosomes-mediated intercellular communication, which attenuated TII and renal fibrosis accordingly. CONCLUSION Quercetin could serve as a novel strategy for treatment of tubulointerstitial inflammation by inhibiting the exosomes-mediated crosstalk between tubules and macrophages.

Abstract
Temperature is one of the most important factors in all living organisms for survival. Being a unicellular organism, bacterium requires sensitive sensing and defense mechanisms to tolerate changes in temperature. During a temperature shift, the structure and composition of various cellular molecules including nucleic acids, proteins, and membranes are affected. In addition, numerous genes are induced during heat or cold shocks to overcome the cellular stresses, which are known as heat- and cold-shock proteins. In this review, we describe the cellular phenomena that occur with temperature change and bacterial responses from a molecular perspective, mainly in Escherichia coli.

Abstract
During fertilization, sperm hyaluronidase activity is essential for spermatozoa to successfully penetrate the hyaluronic acid-enriched extracellular matrix of the cumulus cells. Since molecular chaperones, as the heat shock protein A2, are typically involved in bringing hyaluronic acid receptors to the cell surface, here we evaluated the presence and spatial location of HSPA2 on human spermatozoa based on its hyaluronic acid binding capacity. This study included 16 normozoospermic sperm samples from volunteering donors. The location of HSPA2 was studied in cells before and after 1-h incubation under capacitating conditions, as well as in spermatozoa selected according to their ability of binding to hyaluronic acid. Our results showed no significant differences in HSPA2 immunofluorescent cells before and after 1 h of incubation in capacitating conditions. Nevertheless, after hyaluronic acid selection, the percentage of HSPA2-labelled cells increased significantly, indicating that the interaction with hyaluronic acid may induce the unmasking of HSPA2 epitopes. Furthermore, after swim-up and hyaluronic acid selection, spermatozoa presented a highly immunostained equatorial band with a homogeneous fluorescence throughout the acrosomal region. This distribution has been previously suggested to have important implications in male fertility. Noteworthy, a homogeneous fluorescence among the acrosomal region with a more intense labelling at the apical region was observed only in hyaluronic acid bound sperm cells, which may be associated with primary gamete recognition. Our findings suggest that the hyaluronic acid selection technique and HSPA2 biomarker should be considered candidates to complement the classic seminal analysis before recommending an appropriate assisted reproduction technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a useful technique for evaluating and repairing donor lungs for transplantation, EVLP itself can lead to inflammation in the lung. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce ischemic reperfusion injury in the donor's lungs after transplantation. In this study, the effects of transient hyperthermia during EVLP on the expression of HSPs and inflammatory pathways were examined. METHODS Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham (n = 5), normothermic EVLP (37 °C, n = 5), and transient hyperthermia during EVLP (42 °C, n = 5). Lung function analyses regarding PaO2/FiO2 ratio, compliance, and pulmonary vascular resistance were conducted. The expression levels of HSPs and inflammatory cytokines were also evaluated. The degree of lung injury was histopathologically evaluated. Transcriptome analysis was performed on lung tissues from the sham (n = 2), normothermic EVLP (n = 2), and heat stress-EVLP (n = 2) groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in functional or histological parameters between the three groups. The expression of HSPs had significantly increased, especially that of HSPs 40 and 60 in the heat stress EVLP group; this was consistent with the inflammatory response. Inflammatory cytokine levels were significantly higher during EVLP and intensified with transient hyperthermia. CONCLUSION Transient hyperthermia during EVLP has no protective effect on the donor lung graft or activation of the inflammatory pathway at the gene level.
