The patterns of heat-induced synthesis (37 degrees C to 45 degrees C) of heat shock proteins (Hsps) in different tissues of grasshoppers and cockroaches from natural populations and in laboratory-reared gram-pest (Heliothis armigera) were examined by 35S-methionine labeling and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis fluorography. Whereas 45 degrees C was lethal in most cases, optimal induction of Hsp synthesis was seen between 37 degrees C and 42 degrees C. The ongoing protein synthesis was not much affected at these temperatures, except in the tissues of adult H. armigera exposed to 42 degrees C. The profiles of the Hsps induced in the tissues of the insects, however, were different. From the relative abundance of the synthesis of 70-kDa (Hsp70) and 64-kDa (Hsp64) polypeptides, three categories of heat shock response were identified: (1) induction of abundant Hsp70 but little Hsp64 (malpighian tubules, male accessory glands, and ovaries of adult grasshoppers), (2) abundant Hsp64 but little Hsp70 (testes of adult grasshoppers, testes and malpighian tubules of adult cockroaches, and testes, malpighian tubules, and fat bodies of H. armigera larvae), and (3) induction of both Hsp70 and Hsp64 in more or less equal abundance (ovaries of adult cockroaches, salivary glands of H. armigera larvae, and malpighian tubules, male accessory glands, testes, and ovaries of adult H. armigera). Cockroaches collected from storerooms showed detectable synthesis of Hsp64 and/or Hsp70 only after heat shock, but those collected from drains showed detectable synthesis of both Hsp70 and Hsp64 in different tissues without heat stress. Western blotting showed that the 64-kDa polypeptide in these insects is a member of the Hsp60 family. Grasshopper testes, which synthesized negligible Hsp70 but abundant Hsp64 after heat shock, developed thermotolerance. Thus, heat shock response is modulated by developmental and environmental factors in different tissues of insects. 相似文献

Changes in the viability, infectivity and heat shock protein (Hsp) levels are reported in Trichinella spiralis first stage larvae (L1) stored in 199 medium for up to seven days at 37 degrees C. These conditions induce stress that the larvae, eventually, cannot overcome. After three days of storage, the infectivity and viability were unchanged, although higher Hsp70 levels were observed. After this time, larvae gradually lost viability and infectivity, coinciding with a decrease in Hsp70 and Hsp90 and an increase in actin (a housekeeping protein). In addition, a possibly inducible heat shock protein, Hsp90i, appeared as constitutive Hsp90 disappeared. No significant changes in Hsp60 levels were detected at any time. These results suggest that heat shock proteins initially try to maintain homeostasis, but on failing, may be involved in cell death. 相似文献

Heat shock protein induction is often associated with a cellular response to a harmful environment or to adverse life conditions. The main aims of our study were (1) to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of cypermethrin; and (2) to investigate the suitability of stress-induced heat shock protein Hsp70 as a biomarker for environmental pollutants in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (Hsp70-lacZ)Bg9. Different concentrations of cypermethrin (0.002, 0.2, 0.5 and 50.0 p.p.m.) were mixed with food. Third instar larvae of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster were allowed to feed on these mixtures for different time intervals (2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48h). Following feeding, hsp70 induction and tissue damage were evaluated. In the highest concentration treatment group (50 p.p.m.), 100% larval mortality was recorded after 12 h exposure. Hsp70 was found to be induced even at the lowest concentration (0.002 p.p.m.) of the insecticide, while tissue damage was observed in the larvae exposed for 48 h. While an insignificant decline in hsp70 expression was observed in the larvae exposed to cypermethrin at a dietary concentration of 0.002 p.p.m. after 48 h compared with those exposed for 24 h, in the next two higher concentrations of the toxicant, a similar but significant decline in hsp70 expression was evident in the exposed larvae after 48 h. The present study reveals the cytotoxic potential of cypermethrin and further proposes that hsp70 induction in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster could be used as a sensitive biomarker in risk assessment. 相似文献

High temperatures cause a variety of physiological stress responses in insects, including increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause oxidative damage. This study investigated the effects of thermal stress on ROS generation, the expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) at the mRNA and protein levels, the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT), and apoptosis in hemocytes of Chilo suppressalis larvae. Results indicated that thermal stress significantly elevated the level of ROS and antioxidant enzyme activity in C. suppressalis larvae. Real-time quantitative PCR showed that hsp70 gene expression was induced by heat stress. Flow cytometric results revealed that the expression profile of Hsp70 at the protein level was in agreement with that at the mRNA level. The expression of Hsp70 at both the mRNA and protein levels reached a maximum at 36 °C in larval hemocytes. Exposure to tested temperatures did not cause any significant change in the rate of apoptosis in larval hemocytes. These results suggest that thermal stress leads to oxidative stress and that antioxidant enzymes and the Hsp70 play an important role in reducing oxidative damage in C. suppressalis larvae. 相似文献

This study investigates the responses of white sturgeon larvae (Acipenser transmontanus) to starvation and thermal stress, through the measurement of nutritional status (i.e. growth performances) and cellular
biomarkers: heat shock proteins (Hsp) 70 and 90. White sturgeon larvae (25 day post hatch; initial weight 179.0 ± 5.1 mg)
were fed (20% body weight per day) or starved for 24, 48 or 72 hrs. Every 24 hrs, five larvae from each of the starved or
fed treatment replicates were exposed to heat shock resulting from an increase in water temperature from 19°C to 26°C, at
a rate of 1°C per 15 min, and maintained at 26°C for 4 hrs. No mortality was observed in this study. Starvation significantly
(p < 0.05) decreased the body weight and body contents of energy, protein, and lipid of the experimental larvae, compared to
the fed larvae. Heat shock induced the expressions of Hsp70 and Hsp90 in both the fed and starved group; however, starvation
reduced the induction at all sampling points. The current study demonstrates that poor larval nutritional status, assessed
by the aforementioned parameters, reduced heat shock responses to thermal stress, as measured by heat shock protein levels.
Furthermore, Hsp70 and 90 are more sensitive to heat shock and starvation, respectively. This may be, in part, a result of
the different functioning of the heat shock proteins in cellular stress response and warrants further study. 相似文献

Environmental stressors can induce changes in gene expression that can be useful as biomarkers. To identify potential biomarkers of water quality, we characterized full-length cDNA sequences of the serine-type endopeptidase (SP) gene from Chironomus riparius. Their expression was analyzed during different life-history stages and in response to treatment with various concentrations of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) for short and long periods of time. A comparative molecular and phylogenetic investigation was then conducted among different orders of insects using sequence database analysis. The sequence of the C. riparius SP gene was found to be most closely related to the sequence of SPs isolated from Aedes aegypti. In addition, the basal level of C. riparius SP mRNA was more highly expressed in larvae than in other life-history stages. However, the expression of C. riparius SP was primarily limited to the gut in larvae. When the effects of short-term exposure to DEHP were evaluated, C. riparius SP gene expression decreased within 1 h of treatment, regardless of dose. We also investigated expression of the C. riparius SP gene following long-term DEHP exposure (10 days) and found that it decreased significantly across all DEHP dosages. Finally, the response of the SP gene was more sensitive in C. riparius that were exposed to low concentrations of DEHP than in those that were exposed to high concentrations. These results show that suppression of the C. riparius SP gene by DEHP is as a potential biomarker that could be useful for monitoring aquatic quality. 相似文献

The composition and the level of heat shock proteins in the gill epithelium cells of mussels Mytilus edulis L. from the White Sea under different levels of environmental salinity were studied by the method of immunoblotting. In mussels maintained under normal salinity (26%), constitutive Hsp70 and protein of about 40 kDa were revealed. After long-term (11?C14 days) acclimation to 14 and 35?? of the level Hsp70 in gill epithelium cells increased. Hsp70 induction was also observed in cells of isolated gills after salinity shock at 14% for 3 and 24 h. 相似文献

Loss of Hsp70 in Drosophila is pleiotropic, with effects on thermotolerance, recovery from heat shock and neurodegeneration 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The heat-shock response is a programmed change in gene expression carried out by cells in response to environmental stress, such as heat. This response is universal and is characterized by the synthesis of a small group of conserved protein chaperones. In Drosophila melanogaster the Hsp70 chaperone dominates the profile of protein synthesis during the heat-shock response. We recently generated precise deletion alleles of the Hsp70 genes of D. melanogaster and have used those alleles to characterize the phenotypes of Hsp70-deficient flies. Flies with Hsp70 deletions have reduced thermotolerance. We find that Hsp70 is essential to survive a severe heat shock, but is not required to survive a milder heat shock, indicating that a significant degree of thermotolerance remains in the absence of Hsp70. However, flies without Hsp70 have a lengthened heat-shock response and an extended developmental delay after a non-lethal heat shock, indicating Hsp70 has an important role in recovery from stress, even at lower temperatures. Lack of Hsp70 also confers enhanced sensitivity to a temperature-sensitive lethal mutation and to the neurodegenerative effects produced by expression of a human polyglutamine disease protein. 相似文献

Acclimation to environmental change can impose costs to organisms. One potential cost is the change in cell metabolism that follows a physiological response, e.g., high expression of heat shock proteins may alter specific activity of important enzymes. We examined the significance of this cost in a pair of Drosophila melanogaster lines transformed with additional copies of a gene that encodes the heat shock protein, Hsp70. Heat shock induces Hsp70 expression in all lines, but lines with extra copies produce much more Hsp70 than do excision control strains. The consequence of this supranormal Hsp70 expression is to reduce specific activity of both enzymes analyzed, adult alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which is heat sensitive, and lactate dehydrogenase, which is not. Strain differences were most pronounced under those conditions where Hsp70 expression was maximized, and not where the heat stress denatured proteins. That result supported the idea that Hsp70 expression is constrained evolutionarily by its tendency to bind nascent peptides when overabundant within the cell. 相似文献

Certain kinetoplastid (Leishmania spp. and Tryapnosoma cruzi) and apicomplexan parasites (Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii) are capable of invading human cells as part of their pathology. These parasites appear to have evolved a relatively expanded or diverse complement of genes encoding molecular chaperones. The gene families encoding heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) chaperones show significant expansion and diversity (especially for Leishmania spp. and T. cruzi), and in particular the Hsp40 family appears to be an extreme example of phylogenetic radiation. In general, Hsp40 proteins act as co-chaperones of Hsp70 chaperones, forming protein folding pathways that integrate with Hsp90 to ensure proteostasis in the cell. It is tempting to speculate that the diverse environmental insults that these parasites endure have resulted in the evolutionary selection of a diverse and expanded chaperone network. Hsp90 is involved in development and growth of all of these intracellular parasites, and so far represents the strongest candidate as a target for chemotherapeutic interventions. While there have been some excellent studies on the molecular and cell biology of Hsp70 proteins, relatively little is known about the biological function of Hsp70-Hsp40 interactions in these intracellular parasites. This review focuses on intracellular protozoan parasites of humans, and provides a critique of the role of heat shock proteins in development and pathogenesis, especially the molecular chaperones Hsp90, Hsp70 and Hsp40. 相似文献

We compared transgenic Drosophila larvae varying in hsp70 copy number the consequences of Hsp70 overexpression for growth and development after heat shock. Exposure to a mildy elevated temperature (36°C) induced expression of Hsp70 (and presumably other heat shock proteins) and improved tolerance of more severe heat stress, 38.5–39.5°C. We examined this pattern in two independently derived pairs of extra-copy and excision strains that different primarily in hsp70 copy number (with 22 and 10 copies, respectively). Extra-copy larvae produced more Hsp70 in response to high temperature than did excision larvae, but surpassed the excision strain in survival only immediately after thermal stress. Excision larvae survived to adulthood at higher proportions than did extra-copy larvae and grew more rapidly after thermal stress. Furthermore, multiple pretreatment reduced survival of 1st-instar extra-copy larvae, but did not affect the corresponding excision strain. While extra Hsp70 provides additional protection against the immediate damage from heat stress, abnormally high concentrations can decrease growth, development and survival to adulthood. 相似文献
