During 4 hr after puromycin (PUR: 20 micrograms/ml) treatment, the synthesis of three major heat shock protein families (HSPs: Mr = 110,000, 87,000, and 70,000) was enhanced 1.5-fold relative to that of untreated cells, as studied by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The increase of unique HSPs, if studied with two-dimensional gels, would probably be much greater. In parallel, thermotolerance was observed at 10(-3) isosurvival as a thermotolerance ratio (TTR) of either 2 or greater than 5 after heating at either 45.5 degrees C or 43 degrees C, respectively. However, thermotolerance was induced by only intermediate concentrations (3-30 micrograms/ml) of puromycin that inhibited protein synthesis by 15-80%; a high concentration of PUR (100 micrograms/ml) that inhibited protein synthesis by 95% did not induce either HSPs or thermotolerance. Also, thermotolerance was never induced by any concentration (0.01-10 micrograms/ml) of cycloheximide that inhibited protein synthesis by 5-94%. Furthermore, after PUR (20 micrograms/ml) treatment, the addition of cycloheximide (CHM: 10 micrograms/ml), at a concentration that reduces protein synthesis by 94%, inhibited both thermotolerance and synthesis of HSP families. Thus, thermotolerance induced by intermediate concentrations of PUR correlated with an increase in newly synthesized HSP families. This thermotolerance phenomenon was compared with another phenomenon termed heat resistance and observed when cells were heated at 43 degrees C in the presence of CHM or PUR immediately after a 2-hr pretreatment with CHM or PUR. Heat protection increased with inhibition of synthesis of both total protein and HSP families. Moreover, this heat protection decayed rapidly as the interval between pretreatment and heating increased to 1-2 hr, and did not have any obvious relationship to the synthesis of HSP families. Therefore, there are two distinctly different pathways for developing thermal resistance. The first is thermotolerance after intermediate concentrations of PUR treatment, and it requires incubation after treatment and apparently the synthesis of HSP families. The second is resistance to heat after CHM or PUR treatment immediately before and during heating at 43 degrees C, and it apparently does not require synthesis of HSP families. This second pathway not requiring the synthesis of HSP families also was observed by the increase in thermotolerance at 45.5 degrees C caused by heating at 43 degrees C after cells were incubated for 2-4 hr following pretreatment with an intermediate concentration of PUR.  相似文献

After sodium arsenite (100 microM) treatment, the synthesis of three major heat shock protein families (HSPs; Mr = 110,000, 87,000, and 70,000), as studied with one-dimensional gels, was enhanced twofold relative to that of unheated cells. The increase of unique HSPs, if studied with two-dimensional gels, would probably be much greater. In parallel, thermotolerance was observed as a 100,000-fold increase in survival from 10(-6) to 10(-1) after 4 hr at 43 degrees C, and as a thermotolerance ratio (TTR) of 2-3 at 10(-3) isosurvival for heating at 45.5 degrees C. Cycloheximide (CHM: 10 micrograms/ml) or puromycin (PUR: 100 micrograms/ml), which inhibited total protein synthesis and HSP synthesis by 95%, completely suppressed the development of thermotolerance when either drug was added after sodium arsenite treatment and removed prior to the subsequent heat treatment. Therefore, thermotolerance induced by arsenite treatment correlated with an increase in newly synthesized HSPs. However, with or without arsenite treatment, CHM or PUR added 2-6 hr before heating and left on during heating caused a 10,000-100,000-fold enhancement of survival when cells were heated at 43 degrees C for 4 hr, even though very little synthesis of heat shock proteins occurred. Moreover, these cells manifesting resistance to heating at 43 degrees C after CHM treatment were much different than those manifesting resistance to 43 degrees C after arsenite treatment. Arsenite-treated cells showed a great deal of thermotolerance (TTR of about 10) when they were heated at 45 degrees C after 5 hr of heating at 43 degrees C, compared with less thermotolerance (TTR of about 2) for the CHM-treated cells heated at 45 degrees C after 5 hr of heating at 43 degrees C. Therefore, there are two different phenomena. The first is thermotolerance after arsenite treatment (observed at 43 degrees C or 45.5 degrees C) that apparently requires synthesis of HSPs. The second is resistance to heat after CHM or PUR treatment before and during heating (observed at 43 degrees C with little resistance at 45.5 degrees C) that apparently does not require synthesis of HSPs. This phenomenon not requiring the synthesis of HSPs also was observed by the large increase in thermotolerance to 45 degrees C caused by heating at 43 degrees C, with or without CHM, after cells were incubated for 6 hr following arsenite pretreatment. For both phenomena, a model based on synthesis and redistribution of HSPs is presented.  相似文献

Dynamic intracellular ATP and Pi levels were measured non-invasively for Chinese hamster V79 cells by 31P-NMR under conditions of thermotolerance and heat-shock protein induction. High densities of cells were embedded in agarose strands, placed within a standard NMR sample tube, and perfused with medium maintained either at 37 or 43 degrees C at pH 7.35. Cell survival and heat-shock protein synthesis were assessed either from parallel monolayer cultures or cells dislodged from the agarose strands post-treatment. Thermotolerance (heat resistance) and heat-shock protein synthesis was induced by a 1 h exposure to 43 degrees C followed by incubation for 5 h at 37 degrees C. After the 5 h incubation at 37 degrees C, marked thermal resistance was observed in regard to survival with concomitant synthesis of two major heat-shock proteins at 70 and 103 kDa. Studies were also conducted where tolerance and heat-shock protein synthesis were partially inhibited by depletion of cellular glutathione (GSH) prior to and during heat treatment. Dynamic measurement of intracellular ATP of cells heated with or without GSH depletion revealed no change in steady-state levels immediately after heating or during the 5 h post-heating incubation at 37 degrees C where thermotolerance and heat-shock proteins develop. These data are consistent with other reported data for mammalian cells and indicate that the steady-state ATP levels in mammalian cells remain unchanged during and after the acquisition of the thermotolerant state.  相似文献

The effect of prior heat shock on the thermal resistance of Listeria monocytogenes in meat was investigated. A sausage mix inoculated with approximately 10(7) L. monocytogenes per g was initially subjected to a heat shock temperature of 48 degrees C before being heated at a final test temperature of 62 or 64 degrees C. Although cells heat shocked at 48 degrees C for 30 or 60 min did not show a significant increase in thermotolerance as compared with control cells (non-heat shocked), bacteria heat shocked for 120 min did, showing an average 2.4-fold increase in the D64 degrees C value. Heat-shocked cells shifted to 4 degrees C appeared to maintain their thermotolerance for at least 24 h after heat shock.  相似文献

We investigated whether or not a 50 kDa glycoprotein might play an important role in protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance development in CHO cells. When cells were heated for 10 min at 45.5 degrees C, they became thermotolerant to a heat treatment at 45.5 degrees C administered 12 hr later. The thermotolerance ratio at 10(-3) isosurvival was 4.4. The cellular heat shock response leads to enhanced glycosylation of a 50 kDa protein. The glycosylation of proteins including a 50 kDa glycoprotein was inhibited by treatment with various concentrations of tunicamycin (0.2-2 micrograms/ml). The development of thermotolerance was not affected by treatment with tunicamycin after the initial heat treatment, although 2 micrograms/ml tunicamycin inhibited glycosylation by 95%. However, inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide (10 micrograms/ml) after the initial heat treatment partially inhibited the development of thermotolerance. Nevertheless, there was no further reduction of thermotolerance development by treatment with a combination of 2 micrograms/ml tunicamycin and 10 micrograms/ml cycloheximide. These data suggest that development of thermotolerance, especially protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance, is not correlated with increased glycosylation of the 50 kDa protein.  相似文献

The temperature-sensitive (ts) Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutant tsH1 contains a thermolabile leucyl-tRNA synthetase. Upon incubation at the nonpermissive temperature of 39.5 degrees C, the enzyme became reversibly inhibited over a period of minutes, and the cells lost viability over a period of many hours. However, killing of tsH1 by acute heating at 45 degrees C was identical to that of wild-type (SC) cells. In addition, the heat-induced inhibition of protein synthesis was similar for both cell types, as measured after acute heating at 45 degrees C. Furthermore, both killing and inhibition of protein synthesis showed thermotolerance in both cell types. In contrast to the effects at 45 degrees C, at 39.5 degrees C, neither the inhibition of leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity nor the killing of tsH1 expressed thermotolerance. Also, treatment of tsH1 at 39.5 degrees C did not induce thermotolerance to killing at 45 degrees C. The inhibition of leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity in tsH1 at 39.5 degrees C was further distinguished from the 45 degrees C-induced inhibition of protein synthesis in SC cells by a much more rapid reversal of the inhibition of leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity. Also, the rate of reversal of the inhibition of protein synthesis by 45 degrees C in SC cells was decreased by increased heat dose. Such was not true for the 39.5 degrees C inhibition of leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity in tsH1. The data indicate that there exist two distinct types of thermal inhibition--one slowly reversible type which was observed during and after heating at 45 degrees C and both induced and expressed thermotolerance, and a second, rapidly reversible type, which was evident only during heating of tsH1 at 39.5 degrees C and neither induced nor expressed thermotolerance.  相似文献

Hyperthermia increases levels of nuclear-associated proteins in a manner that correlates with cell killing. If the increase in nuclear-associated proteins represents a lethal lesion then treatments that protect against killing by heat should reduce and/or facilitate the recovery of levels of the proteins in heated cells. This hypothesis was tested using three heat protection treatments: cycloheximide, D2O, and thermotolerance. All three treatments reduced levels of the proteins measured immediately following hyperthermia at 43.0 or 45.5 degrees C, with the greatest reduction occurring at 43.0 degrees C. In addition to reducing the proteins, thermotolerance facilitated the recovery of the proteins to control levels following hyperthermia. Thus thermotolerance may protect cells by both reducing the initial heat damage and facilitating recovery from that damage. Cycloheximide and D2O did not facilitate recovery of nuclear-associated proteins, suggesting that their protection against cytotoxicity related to the proteins resulted solely from their reduction of increases in levels of the proteins. All three treatments have been shown to stabilize cellular proteins against thermal denaturation. The results of this study suggest that the increase in nuclear-associated proteins may result from thermally denatured proteins adhering to the nucleus and that it is the ability of cycloheximide, D2O, and thermotolerance to thermostabilize proteins that reduces the increase in levels of the proteins within heated cells.  相似文献

When CHO cells were treated either for 10 min at 45-45.5 degrees C or for 1 hr with 100 microM sodium arsenite (ARS) or for 2 hr with 20 micrograms/ml puromycin (PUR-20), they became thermotolerant to a heat treatment at 45-45.5 degrees C administered 4-14 hr later, with thermotolerance ratios at 10(-3) isosurvival of 4-6, 2-3.2, and 1.7, respectively. These treatments caused an increase in synthesis of HSP families (70, 87, and 110 kDa) relative to total protein synthesis. However, for a given amount of thermotolerance, the ARS and PUR-20 treatments induced 4 times more synthesis than the heat treatment. This decreased effectiveness of the ARS treatment may occur because ARS has been reported to stimulate minimal redistribution of HSP-70 to the nucleus and nucleolus. Inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide (CHM, 10 micrograms/ml) or PUR (100 micrograms/ml) after the initial treatments greatly inhibited thermotolerance to 45-45.5 degrees C in all cases. However, for a challenge at 43 degrees C, thermotolerance was inhibited only for the ARS and PUR-20 treatments. CHM did not suppress heat-induced thermotolerance to 43 degrees C, which was the same as heat protection observed when CHM was added before and during heating at 43 degrees C without the initial heat treatment. These differences between the initial treatments and between 43 and 45 degrees C may possibly be explained by reports that show that heat causes more redistribution of HSP-70 to the nucleus and nucleolus than ARS and that redistribution of HSP-70 can occur during heating at 42 degrees C with or without the presence of CHM. Heating cells at 43 degrees C for 5 hr after thermotolerance had developed induced additional thermotolerance, as measured with a challenge at 45 degrees C immediately after heating at 43 degrees C. Compared to the nonthermotolerant cells, thermotolerance ratios were 10 for the ARS treatment and 8.5 for the initial heat treatment. Adding CHM (10 micrograms/ml) or PUR (100 micrograms/ml) to inhibit protein synthesis during heating at 43 degrees C did not greatly reduce this additional thermotolerance. If, however, protein synthesis was inhibited between the initial heat treatment and heating at 43 degrees C, protein synthesis was required during 43 degrees C for the development of additional thermotolerance to 45 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Aeromonas microorganisms normally grow at temperatures between 5 degrees C and 45 degrees C and therefore should have high thermotolerance. Thus it was of interest to find out whether A. hydrophila, A. caviae and A. veronii biovar sobria serovars respond to abrupt temperature changes with a heat shock-like response. To this end the present study was undertaken to determine whether Aeromonas species exhibits a heat shock response to different temperatures and time factors. The response of Aeromonas serovars to 24 h and 48 h of thermal stress at 25 degrees C, 42 degrees C and 50 degrees C involved the synthesis of 12-18 heat shock proteins (HSPs) bands with molecular weights ranging between 83.5-103.9 kDa in the high HSP molecular mass and 14.5-12.0 as low molecular mass HSP. Electrophoretic analysis of the HSPs showed that the serovars do not cluster very tightly and also that they are distinct from each other.  相似文献

Heat shock protein synthesis and thermotolerance in Salmonella typhimurium   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The resistance of stationary phase Salmonella typhimurium to heating at 55 degrees C was greater in cells grown in nutritionally rich than in minimal media, but in all media tested resistance was enhanced by exposing cells to a primary heat shock at 48 degrees C. Chloramphenicol reduced the acquisition of thermotolerance in all media but did not completely prevent it in any. The onset of thermotolerance was accompanied by increased synthesis of major heat shock proteins of molecular weight about 83, 72, 64 and 25 kDa. When cells were shifted from 48 degrees C to 37 degrees C, however, thermotolerance was rapidly lost with no corresponding decrease in the levels of these proteins. There is thus no direct relationship between thermotolerance and the cellular content of the major heat shock proteins. One minor protein of molecular weight about 34 kDa disappeared rapidly following a temperature down-shift. Its presence in the cell was thus correlated with the thermotolerant state.  相似文献

We investigated the correlation between the development of acute thermotolerance and the phosphorylation, synthesis, and expression of the HSP28 family in murine L929 cells. Following heating at 43 degrees C for 30 min, thermotolerance developed rapidly in exponential-phase cells and reached its maximum 4-9 h after heat shock. Maximal thermal resistance was maintained for 24 h and then gradually decayed. However, heat-induced phosphorylation of HSP28 was not detected. Furthermore, HSP28 synthesis during incubation at 37 degrees C for 12 h following heat shock was not detected by [3H]-leucine labeling followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, Northern blots failed to demonstrate expression of the HSP28 gene. Unlike HSP28, the expression of constitutive and inducible HSP70 genes, along with the synthesis of their proteins, was observed during incubation at 37 degrees C after heat shock. These results demonstrate that HSP28 synthesis and its phosphorylation are not required to develop acute thermotolerance in L929 cells.  相似文献

A slow temperature transient from 37 to 42 degrees C over 3 hr instead of the usual rapid 4- to 7-min transient increases thermal resistance twofold in MTC tumor cells and yet reduces the rates of synthesis of the 70- and 22-kDa heat-stress proteins (hsp) immediately prior to and during expression of thermal resistance--2 to 8 hr after reaching 42 degrees C [S. P. Tomasovic, P. A. Steck, and D. Heitzman, Radiat. Res. 95, 399-413 (1983)]. However, examination of hsp synthesis at earlier times reaching 42 degrees C (0.5 to 2 hr) has revealed differential expression of the individual hsp that is dependent on the rate of heating. Within 30 min of reaching 42 degrees C, cells exposed to slow transients had higher rates of synthesis of the 112- and 90- but not the 70-kDa hsp. However, cells exposed to rapid transients had a higher rate of synthesis of the 70-kDa hsp by 1 hr after reaching 42 degrees C. The rate of synthesis of the 22-kDa hsp was similar in cells heated by either method. Rates of synthesis of the 112-, 90-, and 22-kDa hsp in cells exposed to rapid transients did not equal or surpass the rates for cells exposed to slow transients until between 2 and 3 hr of heating, just before expression of thermal resistance. Rate of heating also had differential effects on total protein synthesized and transport. The total protein synthesized was observed to be 40% higher in slow-transient-treated cells over the first 2 hr. Transport of an amino acid analog, aminoisobutyric acid, was significantly inhibited in rapid-transient cells immediately after reaching 42 degrees C and had not recovered 1 or 5 hr later. Similar to total protein synthesis transport in slow-transient-treated cells was unaffected. There was no significant difference between slow- and rapid-transient-treated cells in hsp degradation, cell-cycle distribution, or amino acid pool sizes in the first 4 to 6 hr after reaching 42 degrees C. These results suggest that although the ultimate thermal dose was about 10-fold higher under slow-transient conditions, the cells receiving this treatment made regulatory or metabolic adjustments, including altered hsp synthesis patterns, that reduced initial heat damage. Either the protection of total protein synthesis or that combined with higher initial rates of synthesis of some hsp could explain the previously reported increased initial D0, increased thermotolerance, and reductions in latter hsp synthesis rates seen following slow temperature transients.  相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells became thermotolerant after treatment with either heat for 10 min at 45.5 degrees C or incubation in 100 microM sodium arsenite for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Thermotolerance was tested using heat treatment at 45 degrees C or 43 degrees C administered 6-12 h after the inducing agent. At 45 degrees C thermotolerance ratios at 10(-2) isosurvival levels were 4.2 and 3.8 for heat and sodium arsenite, respectively. Recovery from heat damage as measured by resumption of protein synthesis was more rapid in heat-induced thermotolerant cells than in either sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells or nonthermotolerant cells. Differences in inhibition of protein synthesis between heat-induced thermotolerant cells and sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells were also evident after test heating at 43 degrees C for 5 h. At this temperature heat-induced thermotolerant cells were protected immediately from inhibition of protein synthesis, whereas sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells, while initially suppressed, gradually recovered within 24 h. Furthermore, adding cycloheximide during the thermotolerance development period greatly inhibited sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerance (SF less than 10(-6] but not heat-induced thermotolerance (SF = 1.7 X 10(-1] when tested with 43 degrees C for 5 h. Our results suggest that both the development of thermotolerance and the thermotolerant state for the two agents, while similar in terms of survival, differed significantly for several parameters associated with protein synthesis.  相似文献

Thermophilic organisms from each of the three phylogenetic domains (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya) acquired thermotolerance after heat shock. Bacillus caldolyticus grown at 60 degrees C and heat shocked at 69 degrees C for 10 min showed thermotolerance at 74 degrees C, Sulfolobus shibatae grown at 70 degrees C and heat shocked at 88 degrees C for 60 min showed thermotolerance at 95 degrees C, and Thermomyces lanuginosus grown at 50 degrees C and heat shocked at 55 degrees C for 60 min showed thermotolerance at 58 degrees C. Determinations of protein synthesis during heat shock revealed differences in the dominant heat shock proteins for each species. For B. caldolyticus, a 70-kDa protein dominated while for S. shibatae, a 55-kDa protein dominated and for T. lanuginosus, 31- to 33-kDa proteins dominated. Reagents that disrupted normal protein synthesis during heat shock prevented the enhanced thermotolerance.  相似文献

Recent data indicate that cells may acquire thermotolerance via more than one route. In this study, we observed differences in thermotolerance development in HeLa S3 cells induced by prior heating (15 minutes at 44 degrees C) or pretreatment with sodium-arsenite (1 hour at 37 degrees C, 100 microM). Inhibition of overall protein and heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis (greater than 95%) by cycloheximide (25 micrograms/ml) during tolerance development nearly completely abolished thermotolerance induced by arsenite, while significant levels of heat-induced thermotolerance were still apparent. The same dependence of protein synthesis was found for resistance against sodium-arsenite toxicity. Toxic heat, but not toxic arsenite treatments caused heat damage in the cell nucleus, measured as an increase in the protein mass of nuclei isolated from treated cells (intranuclear protein aggregation). Recovery from this intranuclear protein aggregation was observed during post-heat incubations of the cells at 37 degrees C. The rate of recovery was faster in heat-induced tolerant cells than in nontolerant cells. Arsenite-induced tolerant cells did not show an enhanced rate of recovery from the heat-induced intranuclear protein aggregation. In parallel, hyperthermic inhibition of RNA synthesis was the same in tolerant and nontolerant cells, whereas post-heat recovery was enhanced in heat-induced, but not arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells. The more rapid recovery from heat damage in the nucleus (protein aggregation and RNA synthesis) in cells made tolerant by a prior heat treatment seemed related to the ability of heat (but not arsenite) to induce HSP translocations to the nucleus.  相似文献

Induced thermotolerance to apoptosis in a human T lymphocyte cell line.   总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15  
A brief exposure to elevated temperatures elicits, in all organisms, a transient state of increased heat resistance known as thermotolerance. The mechanism for this thermotolerant state is unknown primarily because it is not clear how mild hyperthermia leads to cell death. The realization that cell death can occur through an active process of self destruction, known as apoptosis, led us to consider whether thermotolerance provides protection against this mode of cell death. Apoptosis is a common and essential form of cell death that occurs under both physiological and pathological conditions. This mode of cell death requires the active participation of the dying cell and in this way differs mechanistically from the alternative mode of cell death, necrosis. Here we show that mild hyperthermia induces apoptosis in a human leukemic T cell line. This is evidenced by chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation and the cleavage of DNA into oligonucleosome size units. DNA fragmentation is a biochemical hallmark of apoptosis and requires the activation of an endogenous endonuclease. The extent of DNA fragmentation was proportional to the severity of heat stress for cells heated at 43 degrees C from 30 to 90 minutes. A brief conditioning heat treatment induced a resistance to apoptosis. This was evident as a resistance to DNA fragmentation and a reduction in the number of apoptotic cells after a heat challenge. Resistance to DNA fragmentation developed during a recovery period at 37 degrees C and was correlated with enhanced heat shock protein (hsp) synthesis. This heat-induced resistance to apoptosis suggests that thermotolerant cells have gained the capacity to prevent the onset of this pathway of self-destruction. An examination of this process in heated cells should provide new insights into the molecular basis of cellular thermotolerance.  相似文献

The time course and magnitude of the heat-shock response in relation to severity of thermal stress are important, yet poorly understood, aspects of thermotolerance. We examined patterns of protein synthesis in congeneric marine snails (genus Tegula) that occur at different heights along the subtidal to intertidal gradient after a thermal exposure (30 degrees C for 2.5 h, followed by 50 h recovery at 13 degrees C) that induced the heat-shock response. We monitored the kinetics and magnitudes of protein synthesis by quantifying incorporation of 35S-labeled methionine and cysteine into newly synthesized proteins and observed synthesis of putative heat-shock proteins (hsp's) of size classes 90, 77, 70, and 38 kDa. In the low- to mid-intertidal species, Tegula funebralis, whose body temperature frequently exceeds 30 degrees C during emersion, synthesis of hsp's commenced immediately after heat stress, reached maximal levels 1-3 h into recovery, and returned to prestress levels by 6 h, except for hsp90 (14 h). In contrast, in the low-intertidal to subtidal species, Tegula brunnea, for which 2.5 h at 30 degrees C represents a near lethal heat stress, synthesis of hsp's commenced 2-14 h after heat stress; reached maximal levels after 15-30 h, which exceeded magnitudes of synthesis in T. funebralis; and returned to prestress levels in the case of hsp90 (50 h) and hsp77 (30 h) but not in the case of hsp70 and hsp38. Exposures to 30 degrees C under aerial (emersion) and aquatic (immersion) conditions resulted in differences in hsp synthesis in T. brunnea but not in T. funebralis. The different time courses and magnitudes of hsp synthesis in these congeners suggest that the vertical limits of their distributions may be set in part by thermal stress.  相似文献

Synchronous Chinese hamster ovary cells in early S phase were obtained by selecting mitotic cells, accumulating them at the G1/S border by incubating them in aphidicolin for 12 h, and then incubating them for 2 h after releasing them from the aphidicolin block. To determine if thermotolerance could be induced, the cells were heated at 43 degrees C for 20 min in early S phase, incubated for 160 min, and then heated a second time at 43 degrees C for different durations (30-100 min). For the control, nontolerant population, the cells in early S phase were incubated for 50 min and then heated once at 43 degrees C for different durations (20-60 min). Flow cytometric analysis indicated that the population receiving the second heat dose was in the same part of S phase as the population receiving the single heat dose. A comparison of the heat response for the two populations indicated that heating during early S phase induced thermotolerance for both cell killing and chromosomal aberrations; i.e., for 10% survival, which corresponded to 10% of the cells being cytologically normal, the thermal dose was twofold greater in the thermotolerant cells than in the control, nontolerant cells. Furthermore, this thermotolerance developed during S phase. These observations support the hypothesis that heating during S phase kills cells primarily by inducing chromosomal aberrations.  相似文献

Hyperthermia at either 41.5 or 45 degrees C with variable heating times to reduce cell survival up to three orders of magnitude did not decrease significantly cellular ATP content when measured either immediately or up to 7 hr after a heat treatment. Similarly, cellular ATP content was not significantly reduced with step-down heating, precooling prior to hyperthermia, or thermotolerance induction. The data suggest that heat-induced depletion of intracellular ATP content is not a critical factor in the thermal death of cells heated under normal culture conditions.  相似文献
