OBJECTIVE Since insulin stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production and an increase in NO following heat shock is required for myocardial heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) synthesis, we hypothesized that insulin would enhance myocardial Hsp70 synthesis by augmenting NO signaling. We examined whether a physiologic dose of insulin increased myocardial Hsp70 in unstressed and heat shock treated rats. ME...

Transient incubation of chicken lymphoblastoid (MSB) cells at elevated temperatures induces the synthesis of three heat shock proteins of 89,000 Da (HSP89), 70,000 Da (HSP70), and 23,000 Da (HSP23). We have examined the effects of heat shock on the transcription and post-transcriptional regulation of the chicken HSP70 and beta-actin genes. The rate of HSP70 transcription is rapidly induced by h...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) overexpression and intestinal structure and digestive function in heat-stressed broilers. In total, 240 male broilers were injected intraperitoneally with l-(1)-glutamine (0.75 mg/kg of BW) or quercetin (5 mg/kg of BW). Twenty-four hours later, they were heat-stressed for 0, 2, 3, 5, and 10 h, ...

To investigate the mechanism of sudden death as a result of stress-induced damage to heart tissue and myocardial cells and to investigate the cardioprotective role of Hsp70 during heat stress, the distribution and expression of Hsp70 was evaluated in the heart cells of heat-stressed rats in vivo and heat-stressed H9c2 cells in vitro. After exposure to heat stress at 42°C for different durations...

Causes of lower induction of Hsp70 in neurons during heat shock are still a matter of debate. To further inquire into the mechanisms regulating Hsp70 expression in neurons, we studied the activity of Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) and histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) at the hsp70 promoter in rat cortical neurons. Heat shock induced a transient and efficient translocation of HSF1 to ne...

We have examined the posttranscriptional regulation of hsp70 gene expression in two human cell lines, HeLa and 293 cells, which constitutively express high levels of HSP70. HSP70 mRNA translates with high efficiency in both control and heat-shocked cells. Therefore, heat shock is not required for the efficient translation of HSP70 mRNA. Rather, the main effect of heat shock on translation is to...

Heat shock or transfection with heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) genes has been shown to protect tumor cell lines against immune mechanisms of cytotoxicity. We have reported previously that heat shock confers resistance to CTL in the rat myeloma cell line Y3 that is Hsp70 defective. Evidence is now presented that Hsp70 is able to prevent the induction of the resistant phenotype. In Con A-stimulate...

Title Heat phock protein hsp70 overexpression protects cells from heat shock stress in mouse neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells To elucidate cellular concepts for protection against heat shock, we investigated the effect of heat shock protein (hsp70) overexpression on the receptor-mediated intracellular Ca 2 + mobilization in mouse neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid (NG108-15) cells. In sham transf...

background: wet cupping therapy is a complementary therapy in pain management. the mechanism of this therapy, however, needs further elucidation. cells injured by wet cupping therapy seem to stimulate the expression of heat shock protein 70 (hsp70). its benefit in pain reduction could be mediated by the expression of ß-endorphin. this study aimed at determining the correlation between hsp70 and...

Oxidative stress injury is one important factor in intestinal mucosal barrier damage. Expression of heat shock protein (HSP)70 is an endogenous mechanism by which living cells adapt to stress. This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effects of HSP70 on intestinal oxidative stress. Two hundred and forty broilers were injected intraperitoneally with HSP70 inducer l-(1)-glutamine o...
