When cells are exposed to proteotoxic stresses such as heat shock, amino acid analogs, and heavy metals, they increase the synthesis of the heat shock proteins (HSPs) by activating the heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1), whose activity is controlled via multiple steps including homotrimerization, nuclear translocation, DNA binding, and hyperphosphorylation. Under unstressed conditions, the HSF1 activity is repressed through its constitutive phosphorylation by glycogen synthase kinase 3$\beta$ (GSK3$\beta$), extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK). However, the protein kinase (s) responsible for HSF1 hyperphosphorylation and activation is not yet identified. In the present study, we observed that profile of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) activation in response to heat shock was very similar to those of HSF1 hyperphosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Therefore, we investigated whether p38MAPK is involved in the heat shock-induced HSF1 activation and HSP expression. Here we show that the p38MAPK inhibitors, SB202190 and SB203580, but not other inhibitors including the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 and the PI3-K inhibitor LY294002 and wortmannin, suppress HSF1 hyperphosphorylation in response to heat shock and L-azetidine 2-carboxylic acid (Azc), but not to heavy metals. Furthermore, heat shock-induced HSF1-DNA binding and HSP72 expression was specifically prevented by the p38MAPK inhibitors, but not by the MEK1/2 inhibitor and the PI3-K inhibitors. These results suggest that SB202190- and SB203580-sensitive p38MAPK may positively regulate HSP gene regulation in response to heat shock and amino acid analogs.

The causal relationship between heat shock protein (HSP) and second window of cardioprotective effect is still undetermined. In the present study, we assessed whether HSP-producing substances, amphetamine and ketamine, afforded protection against reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and these protective effect remained after the inhibition of HSP72 production by quercetin, a mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor. Adult mongreal male cats $(n=60,\;2.5{\sim}4\;kg)$ were used in this study. Experimental animals were divided into five groups; control group (n=15), amphetamine ('A', n=11) group, ketamine ('K', n=9) group, amphetamine-ketamine ('AK', n=16) group and amphetamine-ketamine-quercetin ('AKQ', n=9) group. Twenty-four hours after the drug treatment, an episode of 20-min coronary artery occlusion was followed by 10-min reperfusion. The incidence of reperfusion-induced VF in the AK and AKQ groups was significantly lower than that in control group (p＜0.01). After the ischemia/reperfusion procedure, western blot analysis of HSP72 expression in the myocardial tissues resected from each group was performed. HSP72 production in the AK group was marked, whereas HSP72 was not detected in the AKQ and control groups. These results suggest that the suppressive effect against reperfusion-induced VF induced by amphetamine and ketamine is not mediated by myocardial HSP72 production but by other mechanisms.

Stress-inducible proteins may function in part as molecular chaperones, protecting cells from damage due to various stresses and helping to maintain homeostasis. We examined the mRNA expression patterns of a 68-kDa heat shock protein (HSP68) and 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) in relation to physiological changes in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas under osmotic stress. Expression of HSP68 and GRP78 mRNA in the gill significantly increased until 48 h in a hypersaline environment (HRE) and 72 h in a hyposaline environment (HOE), and then decreased. Osmolality and the concentrations of $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Ca^{2+}$ in the hemolymph of HRE oysters significantly increased until 72 h (the highest value) and then gradually decreased; in HOE oysters, these values significantly decreased until 72 h (the lowest value), and then increased. These results suggest that osmolality and $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations were stabilized by HSP68 and GRP78, and indicate that these two stress-induced proteins play an important role in regulating the metabolism and protecting the cells of the Pacific oysters exposed to salinity changes.

We aimed to investigate candidate proteins related to long-term caloric restriction and feed efficiency in bovine longissimus dorsi muscle (LM). A total of 31 Korean native steers were randomly distributed to ad libitum (n = 16) or caloric restriction group (n = 15) to conduct two feeding trials for 13 mon. In the first trial (10-18 mon of age), steers were fed with 100% ad libitum (NE_g = 0.63 Mcal/kg) or caloric restriction (80% of the previous day's feed intake of ad libitum group). In the second trial (18-23 mon of age), the energy value of 100% ad libitum diet was 1.13 Mcal/kg NE_g and those in caloric restriction group diet was 0.72 Mcal/kg NE_g. At the endpoint of this experiment, in each group, 6 animals were selected with high (n = 3) or low feed efficiency (n = 3) to collect muscle tissue samples (6 animals/group). From muscle tissues of 23 mo of age, we excavated 9 and 12 differentially expressed (two-fold or more) proteins in a nutritional group and feed efficiency group using two-dimensional electrophoresis, respectively. Of these proteins, heat shock protein beta-6 was up-regulated in both the caloric restriction and the low feed efficiency group. In bovine embryonic fibroblasts, the mRNA expression of heat shock protein beta-6 increased after adipogenic differentiation, however, decreased after myogenic differentiation. Our data provide that heat shock protein beta-6 may be an adipogenic protein involved in the mechanism of caloric restriction and feed efficiency in the LM of the steer.

In Korea, China, and Japan, Paeonia lactiflora Pall (PL) has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, and fever for more than 1200 years. It has been reported that PL has protective effects against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress and LPS-induced liver inflammation. However cellular and molecular mechanism of PL protection against oxidative stress has not fully been elucidated. Here, we describe that the water-soluble extract of PL decreased $H_2O_2$-induced hepatotoxicity. This hepatoprotective effect of PL is reason to decrease the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increase expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) which proteins are involved in protecting the cells from stress like as oxidative stress. We also elucidated that hepatoprotective effect of PL was abolished by knock down of HO-1 and HSP72 by siRNA. These results suggest that the increasing of HO-1 and HSP72 protein by PL treatment might be participated in hepatoprotective effect against oxidative stress such as $H_2O_2$.

This study investigated the effect of Yanggyuksanhwa-tang on cerebral ischemia of the rats. Considering age-related impact on cerebral ischemia, aged rats (18 months old) were used for this study. Ischemic damage was induced by the transient occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries (BCAO) under the hypotension. Yanggyuksanhwa-tang was administered twice orally. Then changes of pyramidal neurons and heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) expressions in ischemic damaged hippocampus were of observed. The BCAO in aged rats led significant decrease of pyramidal neurons in CA1 hippocampus. While the treatment of Yanggyuksanhwa-tang significantly attenuated the reduction of pyramidal neurons in CA1 hippocampus following BCAO ischemia. The BCAO in aged rats led significant increase of HSP72 expression in CA1 and mild in CA3 hippocampus. While the treatment of Yanggyuksanhwa-tang significantly attenuated the increase of HSP72 expression in CA1 hippocampus following BCAO ischemia. The extent of HSP72 expression in CA2 and DG of hippocampus was not different between the sham operated group, the BCAO ischemia control group, and the group of Yanggyuksanhwa-tang administration after BCAO ischemia. The treatment of Yanggyuksanhwa-tang significantly attenuated the increase of normalized optical density depending on HSP72 expression in CA1 hippocampus following BCAO ischemia.

본 연구는 17-DMAG이 골격근에서 autophagy에 관여하는 가를 조사하기 위해, C2C12세포와 마우스 골격근에서 17-DMAG (Hsp90 억제제/Hsp72 활성제)을 처치하는 그룹과 autophagy 억제제(Bafilomycin 또는 colchicine)를 처치하는 그룹과 처치하지 않는 그룹을 동시에 두고 autophagy flux를 측정하였다. C2C12 배양세포에서 17-DMAG이 Hsp90 억제/hsp72 활성화시켰으며 Akt-mTOR 신호체계를 유의하게 감소시켰지만(p<0.05) autophagy marker 단백질인 LC3 II와 p62를 증가시키지 않았다. in vivo 모델의 경우 17-DMAG 처치가 배양세포에서 발견된 것처럼 Hsp90억제/hsp72를 활성화시켰고 Akt-mTOR 신호체계를 유의하게 감소시켰다(p<0.05). 반면 LC3 II와 p62 단백질 수준은 autophagy 억제제(colchicine) 처치 수준보다 더 높게 증가되었다. 이는 17-DMAG이 골격근에서 autophagy를 증가시키지만 C2C12 배양세포에서는 autophagy의 활성화가 제한적임을 암시한다. 현재 이러한 in vitro와 in vivo 모델에서의 차이는 불분명하다.

기후변화로 잦아진 강우에 의해 염분 환경에 유입되는 담수생물의 영향을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 담수의 오염지표생물인 깔따구과의 실내 실험종인 C. riparius를 대상으로 염분 노출에 따른 스트레스 반응으로 생존율과 탈피율, 성장기간, 하순기절 기형을 분석하였고, 분자생물학적으로 스트레스 분자마커로 연구가 이루어진 HSP70 유전자 발현을 측정하였다. C. riparius의 생존율은 노출시간에 따라 감소하였으며 15 psu에서 4일이 경과하면 생존개체가 관찰되지 않았다. C. riparius의 pupation과 emergence는 15 psu 이상에서는 보이지 않았고 탈피의 성공은 10 psu에서 20% 이하였다. 또한 C. riparius의 성장지연은 pupation과 emergence 기간에서 잘 반영되어, 대조군과 5 psu에 비해 10 psu에서 4일이 늦어졌다. 염분 노출 96시간 후 관찰한 C. riparius 하순기절 형태 이상은 10 psu와 15 psu에서 소수 관찰되었다. C. riparius HSP70 유전자 발현은 대조군에 비해 5, 10 psu에서 약 2.5~4배 이상 발현량이 크게 증가하였다. 따라서 염분은 담수생물에게 매우 큰 스트레스를 제공하는 원인물질로 유해물질과 유사한 생태독성학적인 반응과 분자지표 반응을 보여주었다.
