Effect of a 100mT Static Magnetic Field on Hsp70 mRNA in HL-60 Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellular stress response proteins like Hsp70 may be affected by exposure to static magnetic fields (SMF). We examined whether exposure to a 100 mT SMF and GSH-depleting diethymaleate (DEM) would affect the levels of Hsp70 mRNA in HL-60 cells. Cells were exposed to SMF, DEM, a combination of DEM and SMF as well as 42oC. We found that only exposure to 42oC significantly affected the levels of Hsp70 mRNA. Exposure to a 100 mT SMF, DEM, or a combination of SMF and DEM must not affect protein stability thereby altering levels of Hsp70 mRNA.

متن کاملAbrogation of heat shock protein 70 induction as a strategy to increase antileukemia activity of heat shock protein 90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-demethoxy geldanamycin.
17-Allylamino-demethoxy geldanamycin (17-AAG) inhibits the chaperone association of heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) with the heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1), which induces the mRNA and protein levels of hsp70. Increased hsp70 levels inhibit death receptor and mitochondria-initiated signaling for apoptosis. Here, we show that ectopic overexpression of hsp70 in human acute myelogenous leukemia HL-60 ce...
