Interleukin 6 activates heat-shock protein 90β gene expression
The levels of the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the heat-shock protein hsp90 have both been reported to be elevated in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We show that hsp90 protein accumulates to increased levels in both HuH7 hepatoma cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with IL-6. In PBMCs this effect occurs without induction of the other hsps,...
متن کاملHeat-Shock Protein Gene Expression during Spermatogenesis'
We have examined the expression and function of heat shock transcription factor 2 (HSF2) in spermatogenic cells of mouse testis. The results of in situ RNA hybridization analysis, RNA filter hybridization, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis indicate that HSF2 mRNA expression in testis is subject to developmental and cell type-dependent, as well as stage-depend...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Heat Shock Protein 60kDa Gene from Brucella melitensis as Subunit Vaccine
Brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella and affects various domestic and wild species. GroEL (Heat Shock Protein 60kDa) as one of the major antigens that stimulate the immune system, increases Brucella survival. The aim of the current study was to clone and express GroEL in Escherichia coli in order to design subunit vaccine. Amplifying was performed using specific primers. The full-len...
متن کاملEffect of Trehalose on the Expression of Heat Shock Protein 70 Gene in PC12 Cells Treated with Hydrogen Peroxide
Background and purpose: Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including neurological disorders. In such stressful conditions, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) protects cells, thus its pharmacological induction can be protective. The disaccharide trehalose exhibits various beneficial effects, including antioxidative effect. However, its impact on HSP70 is not obvio...
متن کاملTranscriptional Modulation of Heat-Shock Protein Gene Expression
Heat-shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that are ubiquitously expressed but are also induced in cells exposed to stressful stimuli. Hsps have been implicated in the induction and propagation of several diseases. This paper focuses on regulatory factors that control the transcription of the genes encoding Hsps. We also highlight how distinct transcription factors are able to interact...
