We propose that type 2 diabetes results from a vicious cycle of metabolically induced inflammation, impaired insulin responsiveness,
and subsequent loss of homeostatic signaling. A crucial and previously under-recognized event contributing to this loss of
homeostasis is a reduction in heat shock proteins (HSPs, or stress proteins). The central causal pathways of this cycle are
the following: (a) obesity-driven inflammation promotes insulin resistance; (b) impaired insulin signaling in turn reduces
the expression of HSPs, leaving tissues vulnerable to damage and allowing the accumulation of harmful proteins aggregates;
and (c) resulting damage to the pancreatic beta-cell leads to further losses in insulin signaling, while a decline in anti-inflammatory
HSPs allows inflammation to expand unhindered. Obesity and sedentary lifestyle perpetuate this cycle, while dieting and exercise
forestall it by raising HSPs, reducing inflammation, and improving insulin signaling. Because HSP expression carries substantial
metabolic costs, it is likely that an evolutionary history of high activity levels and resource scarcity selected for more
conservative HSP expression than is appropriate for our current environment of caloric abundance. 相似文献

Transgenic mice broadly expressing JunD (Ubi-junD(m)) appear phenotypically normal, but have strongly reduced numbers of peripheral lymphocytes. JunD overexpression in lymphocytes does not protect from numerous apoptotic insults; however, transgenic T cells proliferate poorly and exhibit impaired activation due to reduced levels of IL-4, CD25 and CD69. Consistently, in the absence of JunD (junD(-/-)) T cells hyperproliferate following mitogen induction. Moreover, transgenic T helper (Th) 2 cells have decreased IL-4 and IL-10 expression, whereas junD(-/-) Th2 cells secrete higher amounts of both Th2 cytokines. Th1-polarized junD(-/-) CD4(+) T cells display enhanced IFN-gamma cytokine production associated with upregulated T-bet expression and downregulated expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1. These novel findings demonstrate a regulatory role of JunD in T lymphocyte proliferation and Th cell differentiation. 相似文献

We report the thermotolerance of new bivoltine silkworm, Bombyx mori strains NB4D2, KSO1, NP2, CSR2 and CSR4and differential expression of heat shock proteins at different instars. Different instars of silkworm larva were subjected to heat shock at 35°C, 40°C and 45°C for 2 hours followed by 2 hours recovery. Heat shock proteins were analyzed by SDS‐PAGE. The impact of heat shock on commercial traits of cocoons was analyzed by following different strategies in terms of acquired thermotolerance over control. Comparatively NP2 exhibited better survivability than other strains. Resistance to heat shock was increased as larval development proceeds in the order of first instar > second instar > third instar > fourth instar > fifth instar in all silkworm strains. Expression of heat shock proteins varies in different instars. 90 kDa in the first, second and third instars, 84 kDa in the fourth instar and 84, 62, 60, 47 and 33 kDa heat shock proteins in fifth instar was observed in response to heat shock. Relative influence of heat shock on commercial traits that correspond to different stages was significant in all strains. In NB4D2, cocoon and shell weight significantly increased to 17.52% and 19.44% over control respectively. Heat shock proteins as molecular markers for evaluation and evolution of thermotolerant silkworm strains for tropics was discussed. 相似文献

Currently, no reports exist concerning the expression patterns and developmental changes of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in
the reproductive system of the male rabbit. In the present study, the testes of rabbits were collected at post-natal months
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 40. HSP60, HSC70, HSP90, and HSPA2 were detected by both Western blot and immunohistochemical methods.
The expression levels of HSP60 and HSC70 showed no apparent change during the developmental progress. HSP90 increased at the
second month; prior to the third month, HSPA2 was expressed at a low level. Immunohistochemistry localized HSP60 in the cytoplasm
of all of the cell types in the testis and in the apical pole of the spermatids. The distribution pattern of HSC70 and HSP90
was similar, both being mainly located in the spermatids of stage VII-VIII and in the cytoplasm of the spermatogonium. HSPA2
staining was mainly observed in the cytoplasm of pachytene spermatocytes and spermatids in testes of 3-, 4-, 5-, and 40-month-old
rabbits. These results provide a basic reference point for studying the functions of HSPs in the male rabbit reproductive
system and should be beneficial for the future determination of the mechanisms of heat shock on male rabbit fertility. 相似文献

Drosocin, pyrrhocoricin, and apidaecin, representing the short (18-20 amino acid residues) proline-rich antibacterial peptide family, originally isolated from insects, were shown to act on a target bacterial protein in a stereospecific manner. Native pyrrhocoricin and one of its analogues designed for this purpose protect mice from bacterial challenge and, therefore, may represent alternatives to existing antimicrobial drugs. Furthermore, this mode of action can be a basis for the design of a completely novel set of antibacterial compounds, peptidic or peptidomimetic, if the interacting bacterial biopolymers are known. Recently, apidaecin was shown to enter Escherichia coli and subsequently kill bacteria through sequential interactions with diverse target macromolecules. In this paper report, we used biotin- and fluorescein-labeled pyrrhocoricin, drosocin, and apidaecin analogues to identify biopolymers that bind to these peptides and are potentially involved in the above-mentioned multistep killing process. Through use of a biotin-labeled pyrrhocoricin analogue, we isolated two interacting proteins from E. coli. According to mass spectrometry, Western blot, and fluorescence polarization, the short, proline-rich peptides bound to DnaK, the 70-kDa bacterial heat shock protein, both in solution and on the solid-phase. GroEL, the 60-kDa chaperonin, also bound in solution. Control experiments with an unrelated labeled peptide showed that while binding to DnaK was specific for the antibacterial peptides, binding to GroEL was not specific for these insect sequences. The killing of bacteria and DnaK binding are related events, as an inactive pyrrhocoricin analogue made of all-D-amino acids failed to bind. The pharmaceutical potential of the insect antibacterial peptides is underscored by the fact that pyrrhocoricin did not bind to Hsp70, the human equivalent of DnaK. Competition assay with unlabeled pyrrhocoricin indicated differences in GroEL and DnaK binding and a probable two-site interaction with DnaK. In addition, all three antibacterial peptides strongly interacted with two bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparations in solution, indicating that the initial step of the bacterial killing cascade proceeds through LPS-mediated cell entry. 相似文献

Cells exposed to several forms of stress, such as heat shock, transiently synthesize a group of proteins called heat shock proteins (hsps). Although many stressors other than heat shock are known to induce hsps, inhibitors of hsp expression have never been reported. Here we show that quercetin and several other flavonoids inhibit the synthesis of hsps induced by heat shock in two human cell lines, Hela cells and COLO320 DM cells. Quercetin inhibited the induction of hsp70 at the level of mRNA accumulation. This is the first report to describe the inhibition of hsp expression by reagents. 相似文献

Relationship between T lymphocyte responsiveness and T-helper1/T-helper2 type cytokine release in chronic hepatitis C: a critical reappraisal 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Recruitment of virus-specific T lymphocyte subpopulations to liver sites in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection implies a key role for the immune response in host-virus interaction. In spite of a multispecific and polyclonal cytotoxic function exerted by CD8+ lymphocytes, CD4-mediated activity is weak. This allows the infection to persist which in turn is responsible for the development of chronic hepatitis C (CH-C). Such a finding outlines the occurrence of a possible relationship between cytokine (CK) production by CD4 subsets, i.e. T helper (Th)1 or Th2 cells, and the clinical outcome. A prevalence of Th1-derived CK occurs in infected liver, while increased amounts of Th2-related CK are usually found in peripheral blood. Moreover, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures from CH-C subjects exhibit an impaired interferon (IFN)-gamma production and an increase of interleukin (IL)-12 p70 release after stimulation. The latter pattern seems to be due to the enhanced release of IL-12 p40 homodimers, which antagonize IL-12 p70 bioactivity and favour IL-10-induced effects. These results suggest that further extensive studies on the imbalance of the CK network at a molecular level are required to improve the therapeutical approach in CH-C subjects. 相似文献

We have found that chicken reticulocytes respond to elevated temperatures by the induction of only one heat shock protein, HSP70, whereas lymphocytes induce the synthesis of all four heat shock proteins (89,000 mol wt, HSP89; 70,000 mol wt, HSP70; 23,000 mol wt, HSP23; and 22,000 mol wt, HSP22). The synthesis of HSP70 in lymphocytes was rapidly induced by small increases in temperature (2 degrees-3 degrees C) and blocked by preincubation with actinomycin D. Proteins normally translated at control temperatures in reticulocytes or lymphocytes were not efficiently translated after incubation at elevated temperatures. The preferential translation of mRNAs that encode the heat shock proteins paralleled a block in the translation of other cellular proteins. This effect was most prominently observed in reticulocytes where heat shock almost completely repressed alpha- and beta-globin synthesis. HSP70 is one of the major nonglobin proteins in chicken reticulocytes, present in the non-heat-shocked cell at approximately 3 X 10(6) molecules per cell. We compared HSP70 from normal and heat-shocked reticulocytes by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and by digestion with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease and found no detectable differences to suggest that the P70 in the normal cell is different from the heat shock-induced protein, HSP70. P70 separated by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis into two major protein spots, an acidic P70A (apparent pl = 5.95) and a basic P70B (apparent pl = 6.2). We observed a tissue-specific expression of P70A and P70B in lymphocytes and reticulocytes. In lymphocytes, P70A is the major 70,000-mol-wt protein synthesized at normal temperatures whereas only P70B is synthesized at normal temperatures in reticulocytes. Following incubation at elevated temperatures, the synthesis of both HSP70A and HSP70B was rapidly induced in lymphocytes, but synthesis of only HSP70B was induced in reticulocytes. 相似文献

High-affinity interactions between peptides and heat shock protein 70 augment CD8+ T lymphocyte immune responses 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Exogenously delivered antigenic peptides complexed to heat shock proteins (HSPs) are able to enter the endogenous Ag-processing pathway and prime CD8+ CTL. It was determined previously that a hybrid peptide containing a MHC class I-binding epitope and HSP70-binding sequence Javelin (J0) in complex with HSP70 could induce cytotoxic T cell responses in vivo that were more robust than those induced by the minimal epitope complexed with HSP70. The present study introduces a novel, higher-affinity HSP70-binding sequence (J1) that significantly enhances binding of various antigenic peptides to HSP70. A competition binding assay revealed a dissociation constant that was 15-fold lower for the H2-K(b) OVA epitope SIINFEKL-J1 compared with SIINFEKL-J0, indicating a substantially higher affinity for HSP70. Further, modifying the orientation of the hybrid epitope and introducing a cleavable linker sequence between the Javelin and the epitope results in even greater immunogenicity, presumably by greater efficiency of epitope processing. The enhanced immunogenicity associated with Javelin J1 and the cleavable linker is consistently observed with multiple mouse and human epitopes. Thus, by creating a series of epitopes with uniform, high-affinity binding to HSP70, successful multiple epitope immunizations are possible, with equal delivery of each antigenic epitope to the immune system via HSP70. These modified epitopes have the potential for creating successful multivalent vaccines for immunotherapy of both infectious disease and cancer. 相似文献

Background
The secreted liver protein fetuin-A (AHSG) is up-regulated in hepatic steatosis and the metabolic syndrome. These states are strongly associated with low-grade inflammation and hypoadiponectinemia. We, therefore, hypothesized that fetuin-A may play a role in the regulation of cytokine expression, the modulation of adipose tissue expression and plasma concentration of the insulin-sensitizing and atheroprotective adipokine adiponectin.Methodology and Principal Findings
Human monocytic THP1 cells and human in vitro differenttiated adipocytes as well as C57BL/6 mice were treated with fetuin-A. mRNA expression of the genes encoding inflammatory cytokines and the adipokine adiponectin (ADIPOQ) was assessed by real-time RT-PCR. In 122 subjects, plasma levels of fetuin-A, adiponectin and, in a subgroup, the multimeric forms of adiponectin were determined. Fetuin-A treatment induced TNF and IL1B mRNA expression in THP1 cells (p<0.05). Treatment of mice with fetuin-A, analogously, resulted in a marked increase in adipose tissue Tnf mRNA as well as Il6 expression (27- and 174-fold, respectively). These effects were accompanied by a decrease in adipose tissue Adipoq mRNA expression and lower circulating adiponectin levels (p<0.05, both). Furthermore, fetuin-A repressed ADIPOQ mRNA expression of human in vitro differentiated adipocytes (p<0.02) and induced inflammatory cytokine expression. In humans in plasma, fetuin-A correlated positively with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a marker of subclinical inflammation (r = 0.26, p = 0.01), and negatively with total- (r = −0.28, p = 0.02) and, particularly, high molecular weight adiponectin (r = −0.36, p = 0.01).Conclusions and Significance
We provide novel evidence that the secreted liver protein fetuin-A induces low-grade inflammation and represses adiponectin production in animals and in humans. These data suggest an important role of fatty liver in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. 相似文献17.
Mobile phones, heat shock proteins and cancer 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

There are several reports which indicate that electromagnetic radiation (such as from mobile phones) at non-thermal levels may elicit a biological effect in target cells or tissues. Whether or not these biological effects lead to adverse health effects, including cancer, is unclear. To date there is limited scientific evidence of health issues, and no mechanism by which mobile phone radiation could influence cancer development. In this paper, we develop a theoretical mechanism by which radiofrequency radiation from mobile phones could induce cancer, via the chronic activation of the heat shock response. Upregulation of heat shock proteins (Hsps) is a normal defence response to a cellular stress. However, chronic expression of Hsps is known to induce or promote oncogenesis, metastasis and/or resistance to anticancer drugs. We propose that repeated exposure to mobile phone radiation acts as a repetitive stress leading to continuous expression of Hsps in exposed cells and tissues, which in turn affects their normal regulation, and cancer results. This hypothesis provides the possibility of a direct association between mobile phone use and cancer, and thus provides an important focus for future experimentation. 相似文献

The abundance of the adiponectin receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, and the effects of the antidiabetic adipokine adiponectin in monocytes of normal-weight and overweight controls and type 2 diabetic patients (T2D) were analyzed. AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNAs were increased in monocytes of obese controls and T2D patients when compared to normal-weight controls, and AdipoR1 mRNA positively correlated to AdipoR2 mRNA, the waist to hip ratio and systemic adiponectin. However, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 proteins were lower in monocytes of T2D compared to normal-weight donors. Induction of IL-6 and IL-8 by adiponectin, an effect involving p38 MAPK, was also reduced in T2D monocytes. 相似文献

We examined the effect of cellular aging on adult mortality and hsp70 gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster under thermal stress. The results showed that flies exposed to 37 degrees C for various time intervals had reduced survival rate with age. The level of hsp70 mRNA increases in flies up to 23-28 days of age, but then declines as they get older. When flies are shifted to 25 degrees C after 30 min of heat stress, the time-dependent decrease in hsp70 mRNA levels occurs more rapidly in young flies than in old ones. The hsp70 mRNA present during this recovery period is translated into protein, and senescent flies continue to synthesize this protein for up to 5 h after heat shock. The prolonged expression of hsp70 RNA during recovery from heat shock was also observed in young flies fed canavanine, an arginine analogue. These data suggest that in old insects, the accumulation of conformationally altered proteins plays a role in the regulation of hsp70 RNA expression. These results are discussed in relation to the finding that old flies are more sensitive to thermal stress than young ones. 相似文献
