ABSTRACT. Exposure of renal medullary cells to elevated extracellular NaCl concentrations is associated with increased heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) expression and improved resistance to subsequent exposure to a high urea concentration (600 mM). To establish a causal relationship between HSP72 expression and protection against high urea concentrations, HSP72 was inducibly overexpressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, in the absence of hypertonic stress before urea exposure. For this purpose, the human stress-inducible HSP72 gene was cloned downstream from a dexamethasone (DEX)-inducible promoter in the eukaryotic expression vector pLKneo. This construct allowed robust induction of HSP72 by exposure of stably transfected MDCK cells (MDCK-LK72) to 0.1 μM DEX. Increased HSP72 abundance significantly improved survival rates after 24-h exposure of the cells to medium containing 600 mM urea (14 versus 43%). In mock-transfected or wild-type cells, DEX had no significant effect on HSP72 abundance or urea resistance. In accordance with those findings, lactate dehydrogenase activity in the supernatant was significantly reduced, compared with appropriate control samples, only in MDCK-LK72 cells overexpressing HSP72. Labeling with annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide, followed by flow cytometry, revealed that overexpression of HSP72 was associated with a reduction in the number of apoptotic-lysed cells, a concomitant retardation of apoptosis, and an increase in the number of viable cells. These data support the view that HSP72, which is very abundant in the renal inner medulla, is an important component of the defense mechanism of medullary cells against extreme concentrations of urea.

AbstractInduction of heat shock protein expression and the heat shock (stress) response are seen in exercise. This exercise-induced response is thought protective against cellular stress through the expression of heat shock proteins. The highly inducible heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) has been shown to be expressed in a number of stress-related conditions, but not investigated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Twenty-one women (10 controls, 11 with PCOS) concluded an 8-week supervised, moderate-intensity exercise programme. Monocytes and lymphocytes were analysed by flow cytometry for HSP72 expression from blood samples prior to, mid-way and at the completion of the programme. The monocyte HSP72 expression showed an increase from baseline values through mid-way (p = 0.025), and at the completion of the programme (p = 0.011) only in the control group, the PCOS group showed no significant change. This pattern was similar for lymphocyte HSP72 expression where a significant increase was found at the completion of the programme (p = 0.01) only in the control group. The magnitude of increased HSP72 expression following completion of the programme was linked to baseline values only in the control group. In conclusion, increased HSP72 expression to exercise over an 8-week period was seen in control but not in PCOS women, suggesting that there is an impairment of HSP72 expression in response to exercise in these women.

Heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) is highly expressed in cancer tissues. Recent studies indicate the possible roles of HSP72 in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinomas but detailed information is still ambiguous. The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between clinicopathology and immunolocalization of HSP72 in human hepatocellular carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that HSP72 expression in hepatocellular carcinomas with metastasis was significantly higher than those with non-metastasis. HSP72 expression was significantly associated with the presence of tumor infiltration, lymph node and remote metastasis.

The impact of testosterone on cardiac expression of heat-shock protein 72 (HSP72) remains to be elucidated. Male Sprague Dawley rats 10 wk of age (adult) were castrated. Four weeks later, testosterone (10 mg/kg, ip) was administered as a single dose, followed by the application of hyperthermia (HT) (43 C) at 6 h after testosterone administration. Twenty-four hours later, each heart was isolated. Cardiomyocytes were prepared from 3- to 5-d-old Wistar rats and male Sprague Dawley rats 10 wk of age. Testosterone (0.1–10 μm) was added to the medium, followed by the application of HT (42 C). Twenty-four hours later, cells were collected. We observed the following: 1) Exogenous testosterone suppressed HT-induced HSP72 expression, but castration alone had no influence. 2) HT resulted in better reperfusion-induced cardiac performance in castrated rats comparable with sham-operated rats, which was inhibited by testosterone. The number of apoptotic cells after ischemia/reperfusion was also increased by testosterone. 3) HT-induced HSP72 expression in cultured cardiomyocytes was suppressed by testosterone. 4) HT resulted in less damage to cells, including apoptosis, in response to hypoxia/reoxygenation, which was inhibited by testosterone. 5) Flutamide, a testosterone receptor blocker, cancelled the suppressive effects of testosterone on HSP72 expression. 6) The HT-induced increase in heat-shock factor 1 activity to bind to heat-shock element DNA was suppressed by testosterone, and this was reversed by flutamide. Our results indicate that testosterone potentially has inhibitory effects on cardiac HSP72 expression by modulating transcription, through testosterone receptor-mediated genomic mechanisms.
