    Notes: Abstract We have previously reported the lack of HSP28 gene expression during acute and chronic thermotolerance development in L929 cells (J Cell Physiol 152: 118–125, 1992; Cancer Res 52: 5787, 1992). In contrast to HSP28, an extremely high level of inducible HSP70 synthesis was observed. These results led us to investigate the possibility of compensatory interactions between HSP70 and HSP28. To test the hypothesis, L929 cells were transfected with the human HSP28 gene contained in plasmid pCMV27. Data from Western blot and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of [3H] leucine and [32P] orthophosphate-labeled proteins showed the synthesis and phosphorylation of HSP28 in transfected cells after heating at 45°C for 10 min. However, the expression of constitutive and inducible HSP70 genes, along with the synthesis of their proteins, was not decreased after heat shock. These results suggest an independent regulation of HSP28 and HSP70 gene expression.

    Notes: Abstract Previous studies have shown that a combination of low pH and quercetin (QCT) treatment following heat shock markedly suppresses and delays the expression of heat shock protein genes, particularly the HSP70 gene (Lee et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 186:1121–1128, 1992). The possible mechanism for alteration of gene expression by treatment with QCT at low pH was investigated in human colon carcinoma cells. Cells were heated at 45°C for 15 min and then incubated at 37°C for various times (0–12 h) with QCT (0.05–0.2 mM) at pH 7.4 or 6.5. Gel mobility-shift analysis of whole cell extracts from heated cells showed the formation of the heat shock transcription factor (HSF)-heat shock element (HSE) complex. Dissociation of HSF from the HSE of the human HSP70 promotor occurred within 4 h under both pH conditions. The kinetics of recovery were not affected by treatment with 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). However, the dissociation of HSF-HSE complex was markedly delayed during treatment with a combination of low pH and QCT. In addition,in vitro transcription assays showed a suppression of initiation and elongation of HSP70 mRNA. These results may explain why the combination of low pH and QCT treatment suppresses and delays the HSP70 gene expression as well as thermotolerance development.

    Notes: The mechanism of histidinol (HST) -induced heat protection was investigated to test the hypothesis that the cessation of protein synthesis itself is one of the events involved in heat protection. For this study, we isolated three HST-resistant mutant strains. HST (5 mM), which inhibited protein synthesis by 88% in the wild type, caused only 0, 9, and 25% inhibition in three mutants, respectively. The drug, which afforded heat protection, (i.e., a 125-fold increase in survival from 4 x 10-3 to5 x 10-1 after 2 hr at 43°C in wild type), did not protect mutant cells from heat killing. In contrast, cycloheximide (10 μg/ml) which inhibited protein synthesis by 95% in both wild type and mutant cell types, protected both cell types from heat killing. Therefore, these results suggest that the cessation of protein synthesis, per se, preventing synthesis of nascent polypeptides, is a major event leading to heat protection.

    Notes: We investigated whether or not a 50 kDa glycoprotein might play an important role in protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance development in CHO cells. When cells were heated for 10 min at 45.5°C, they became thermotolerant to a heat treatment at 45.5°C administered 12 hr later. The thermotolerance ratio at 10-3 isosurvival was 4.4. The cellular heat shock response leads to enhanced glycosylation of a 50 kDa protein. The glycosylation of proteins including a 50 kDa glycoprotein was inhibited by treatment with various concentrations of tunicamycin (0.2-2 μg/ml). The development of thermotolerance was not affected by treatment with tunicamycin after the initial heat treatment, although 2 μg/ml tunicamycin inhibited glycosylation by 95%. However, inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide (10 μg/ml) after the initial heat treatment partially inhibited the development of thermotolerance. Nevertheless, there was no further reduction of thermotolerance. development by treatment with a combination of 2 μg/ml tunicamycin and 10 μg/ml cycloheximide. These data suggest that development of thermotolerance, especially protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance, is not correlated with increased glycosylation of the 50 kDa protein.

    Notes: Previous studies suggested that a 26 kDa protein might play an important role in protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance development in CHO cells. To determine if this phenomenon was universal, four mammalian cell lines, viz., CHO, HA-1, murine Swiss 3T3, and human HeLa, were studied. Cells were heated at 42°C, and the level of 26 kDa protein in the nucleus was measured, together with clonogenic survival and protein synthesis. The results demonstrated that (1) the 26 kDa protein was present in the four different cell lines, and (2) the level of the 26 kDa protein in their nuclei was decreased by 30-70% after heating at 42°C for 1 hr. However, restoration of this protein occurred along with development of chronic thermotolerance. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (10 μg/ml) neither inhibited the development of chronic thermotolerance nor affected the restoration of the 26 kDa protein in the nucleus. In fact, this drug protected cells from hyperthermic killing and heat-induced reduction of 26 kDa protein in the nucleus. Heat sensitizers, quercetin (0.1 mM), 3,3′-dipentyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC5[3]: 5 μg/ml), and stepdown heating (45°C-10 min→42°C), potentiated hyperthermic killing and inhibited or delayed the restoration of the 26 kDa protein to the nucleus. These results support a correlated, perhaps causal relationship between the restoration of the 26 kDa protein and chronic thermotolerance development in four different mammalian cell lines.

    Notes: We investigated a correlation between development of thermotolerance and expression, synthesis, or phosphorylation of HSP28 family in CHO plateau phase cells. After heating at 45.5°C for 10 min, thermotolerance developed rapidly and reached its maximum 12-18 hr after heat shock. This acquired thermal resistance was maintained for 72 hr and then gradually decayed. In parallel, the levels of three 28 kDa heat shock proteins, HSP28a along with its two phosphorylated isoforms (HSP28b, c), increased and reached their maximum 24-48 hr after heat shock. The levels of these polypeptides, except HSP28c, remained elevated for 72 hr and then decreased. The level of HSP28 mRNA increased rapidly and reached its maximum 12 hr after heat shock. However, unlike thermotolerance and the levels of HSP28 family proteins, the level of HSP28 mRNA decreased rapidly within 72 hr. These results demonstrate a correlation between the amount of intracellular HSP28 family proteins and development and decay of thermotolerance.

    Notes: We investigated the correlation between the development of acute thermotolerance and the phosphorylation, synthesis, and expression of the HSP28 family in murine L929 cells. Following heating at 43° for 30 min, thermotolerance developed rapidly in exponential-phase cells and reached its maximum 4-9 h after heat shock. Maximal thermal resistance was maintained for 24 h and then gradually decayed. However, heat-induced phosphorylation of HSP28 was not detected. Furthermore, HSP28 synthesis during incubation at 37°C for 12 h following heat shock was not detected by [3H]-leucine labeling followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, Northern blots failed to demonstrate expression of the HSP28 gene. Unlike HSP28, the expression of constitutive and inducible HSP70 genes, along with the synthesis of their proteins, was observed during incubation at 37° after heat shock. These results demonstrate that HSP28 synthesis and its phosphorylation are not required to develop acute thermotolerance in L929 cells. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Three heat-resistant mutant cell lines (78-1, 78-2, 78-3) were previously selected from Chinese hamster ovary cells. In this study, we investigated whether the differences in intrinsic thermal sensitivity result from alteration of stress protein levels or cellular structural changes. Although there was no significant difference in the levels of stress proteins, i.e., constitutive HSP70 in wild type and three heat-resistant mutant strains, there were marked differences in the amounts of vimentin among the cell lines. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and Western blot showed a 2.3-2.9-fold increase in the level of vimentin in the mutant cells under normal growth conditions. Northern blot also revealed higher amounts of vimentin mRNA in the mutant cells. Electron microscopy and immunofluorescence suggest that increased amounts of the vimentin-containing intermediate filaments are correlated with the heat-resistant phenotypes. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
