AbstractChanges in the viability, infectivity and heat shock protein (Hsp) levels are reported in Trichinella spiralis first stage larvae (L1) stored in 199 medium for up to seven days at 37°C. These conditions induce stress that the larvae, eventually, cannot overcome. After three days of storage, the infectivity and viability were unchanged, although higher Hsp70 levels were observed. After this time, larvae gradually lost viability and infectivity, coinciding with a decrease in Hsp70 and Hsp90 and an increase in actin (a housekeeping protein). In addition, a possibly inducible heat shock protein, Hsp90i, appeared as constitutive Hsp90 disappeared. No significant changes in Hsp60 levels were detected at any time. These results suggest that heat shock proteins initially try to maintain homeostasis, but on failing, may be involved in cell death.

For Tetrahymena thermophila cells to survive at 43 degrees C, a normally lethal temperature, they require a pretreatment which either elicits the synthesis of heat shock proteins or one which brings about a change in the translational machinery of the cell such that is is not inactivated when transferred to 43 degrees C. In this report I present evidence showing that the latter modification can occur in the complete absence of protein synthesis, indicating that heat shock protein production is not required for the induced thermostabilization of the translational machinery.

The patterns of proteins synthesized by the arctic psychrophilic bacterium Res-10 and the psychrotroph Bacillus psychrophilus during various heat shocks up to 32 °C were examined. Both microorganisms were found to display temperature-dependent patterns of heat shock protein synthesis. Elevation of the incubation temperature of the arctic psychrophile from 0 to 15, 20, 25, or 32 °C induced the synthesis of at least 19 heat shock proteins. Imposing similar heat shock upon cells of the psychrotroph resulted in the induction of at least 25 heat shock proteins. Examination of the effect of the transcriptional inhibitor rifampicin on the synthesis of heat shock proteins revealed that the primary control of heat shock protein synthesis lies at the transcriptional level in both microorganisms.

Shock Proteins

Vaccination of mice with heat shock proteins isolated from tumor cells induces immunity to subsequent challenge with those tumor cells the heat shock protein was isolated from but not with other tumor cells (Udono, H., and P.K. Srivastava. 1994. J. Immunol. 152:5398-5403). The specificity of this immune response is caused by tumor-derived peptides bound to the heat shock proteins (Udono., H., and P.K. Srivastava. 1993. J. Exp. Med. 178:1391-1396). Our experiments show that a single immunization with the heat shock protein gp96 isolated from beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) expressing P815 cells (of DBA/2 origin) induces cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for beta-gal, in addition to minor H antigens expressed by these cells. CTLs can be induced in mice that are major histocompatibility complex (MHC) identical to the gp96 donor cells (H-2d) as well as in mice with a different MHC (H-2b). Thus gp96 is able to induce "cross priming" (Matzinger, P., and M.J. Bevan. 1977. Cell. Immunol. 33:92-100), indicating that gp96-associated peptides are not limited to the MHC class I ligands of the gp96 donor cell. Our data confirm the notion that samples of all cellular antigens presentable by MHC class I molecules are represented by peptides associated with gp96 molecules of that cell, even if the fitting MHC molecule is not expressed. In addition, we extend previous reports on the in vivo immunogenicity of peptides associated gp96 molecules to two new groups of antigens, minor H antigens, and proteins expressed in the cytosol.

Progesterone enhances target gene transcription by receptor free of heat shock proteins hsp90, hsp56, and hsp70

Shock Proteins

Steroid receptors regulate transcription of target genes in vivo and in vitro in a steroid hormone-dependent manner. Unoccupied progesterone receptor exists in the low-salt homogenates of target cells as a functionally inactive 8 to 10S complex with several nonreceptor components such as two molecules of 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp90), a 70-kDa heat shock protein (hsp70), and a 56-kDa heat shock protein (hsp56). Ligand-induced dissociation of receptor-associated proteins such as hsp90 has been proposed as the mechanism of receptor activation. Nevertheless, it has not been established whether, beyond release of heat shock proteins, the steroidal ligand plays a role in modulating receptor activity. To examine whether the release of these nonreceptor proteins from receptor complex results in a constitutively active receptor, we isolated an unliganded receptor form essentially free of hsp90, hsp70, and hsp56. Using a recently developed steroid hormone-responsive cell-free transcription system, we demonstrate for the first time that the dissociation of heat shock proteins is not sufficient to generate a functionally active receptor. This purified receptor still requires hormone for high-affinity binding to a progesterone response element and for efficient transcriptional activation of a target gene. When an antiprogestin, Ru486, is bound to the receptor, it fails to promote efficient transcription. We propose that in the cell, in addition to the release of receptor-associated inhibitory proteins, a distinct hormone-mediated activation event must precede efficient gene activation.

Over Time

We examined the effects of 3 days of exercise in a cold environment on the expression of left ventricular (LV) heat shock proteins (HSPs) and contractile performance during in vivo ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following three groups ( n = 12/group): 1) control, 2) exercise (60 min/day) at 4°C (E-Cold), and 3) exercise (60 min/day) at 25°C (E-Warm). Left anterior descending coronary occlusion was maintained for 20 min, followed by 30 min of reperfusion. Compared with the control group, both the E-Cold and E-Warm groups maintained higher ( P < 0.05) LV developed pressure, first derivative of pressure development over time (+dP/d t), and pressure relaxation over time (−dP/d t) throughout I/R. Relative levels of HSP90, HSP72, and HSP40 were higher ( P < 0.05) in E-Warm animals compared with both control and E-Cold. HSP10, HSP60, and HSP73 did not differ between groups. Exercise increased manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity in both E-Warm and E-Cold hearts ( P < 0.05). Protection against I/R-induced lipid peroxidation in the LV paralleled the increase in MnSOD activity whereas lower levels of lipid peroxidation were observed in both E-Warm and E-Cold groups compared with control. We conclude that exercise-induced myocardial protection against a moderate duration I/R insult is not dependent on increases in myocardial HSPs. We postulate that exercise-associated cardioprotection may depend, in part, on increases in myocardial antioxidant defenses.
