Four complete hsp 30 genes have been isolated from Xenopus laevis: hsp 30A, hsp 30B (a pseudogene), hsp 30C, and hsp 30D. The hsp 30A and hsp 30C genes are first heat inducible at the early tailbud stage, as determined by RNase protection and RT-PCR assays. In this study, we determined by RT-PCR that the hsp 30D gene was first heat inducible (33oC for 1 h) at the mid-tailbud stage, approximately 1 day later in development than hsp 30A and hsp 30C. Furthermore, using Northern blot analysis, we detected the presence of very low levels of hsp 30 mRNA at the heat-shocked late blastula stage. The relative levels of these pre-tailbud (PTB) hsp 30 mRNAs increased at the gastrula and neurula stage followed by a dramatic enhancement in heat shocked tail-bud and tadpole stage embryos (50- to 100- fold relative to late blastula). Interestingly, treatment of blastula or gastrula embryos at high temperatures (37oC for 1 h) or with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, followed by heat shock, led to enhanced accumulation of the pre-tailbud (PTB) hsp 30 mRNAs. hsp 70, hsp 87, and actin messages were not stabilized at high temperatures or by cycloheximide treatment. Finally, hsp 30D mRNA was not detected by RT-PCR analysis of cycloheximidetreated, heat-shocked blastula stage embryos, confirming that it is not a member of the PTB hsp 30 mRNAs. This study indicates that differential gene expression and mRNA stability are involved in the regulation of hsp 30 gene expression during early Xenopus laevis development. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Putrescine is reported to be necessary for cold acclimation under low-temperature stress. In this study, the effect of low-temperature on some physiological and biochemical parameters has been investigated using the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The lipid peroxidation rate, amount of Rubisco protein, activities of antioxidant enzymes and gene expression of polyamine biosynthesis (odc2, and spd1), heat shock proteins (hsp70c, hsp90a, and hsp90c), and PSII repair mechanisms (psba, rep27, and tba1) were determined to understand the low-temperature response. Exogenous putrescine application significantly increased Rubisco protein concentration and catalase enzyme activities under low-temperature stress. Moreover, real-time RT-PCR results and gene expression analysis showed that polyamine metabolism induced gene expression at low-temperatures in the first 24 h. In the same way, the gene expression of heat shock proteins (hsp70c, hsp90a, and hsp90c) decreased under low-temperature treatment for 72 h; however, application of putrescine enhanced the gene expression in the first 24 h. The results obtained indicated that molecular response in the first 24 h could be important for cold acclimation. The psba and tba1 expressions were reduced under low-temperatures depending on the exposure time. In contrast, the exogenous putrescine enhanced the expression level of the psba response to low-temperature at 24 and 72 h. The results obtained in this study indicate that putrescine could play a role in the PS II repair mechanisms under low-temperature stress.  相似文献

Studies in cultured cells have demonstrated that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents can potentiate heat-induced hsp70 expression through activation of HSF1 to a DNA binding state. We investigated the influence of aspirin on hsp70 expression in intact rats subjected to heat stress. Rats were injected intraperitoneally either with aspirin (100 mg/kg) or vehicle alone, 60 min prior to their placement at 37°C or room temperature for 30 min. hsp70 mRNA expression was analyzed in lung, liver and kidney isolated from animals assigned to one of four different treatment paradigms; untreated controls, heat aspirin, and aspirin-plus-heat. Comparison of hsp70 expression in the treatment groups revealed that in all tissues examined, aspirin-plus-heat treatment resulted in 3–4 fold higher levels of hsp70 mRNA relative to those seen with heat treatment alone. Little or no hsp70 mRNA expression was detected in the unheated groups, regardless of aspirin treatment. In keeping with the mRNA expression, Hsp70 protein levels were also elevated in aspirin-plus-heat treated animals. Aspirin treatment did not alter hsp70 protein expression in the absence of heat. In contrast to in vitro observations, aspirin treatment in vivo did not alter HSF1 DNA binding properties. Core body temperature measurements revealed that aspirin pretreatment enhanced the rise in body temperature seen in response to heat treatment. This increased hyperthermic response to heat stress probably accounts for the potentiation of hsp70 expression observed in aspirin-plus-heat treated rats. Given the widespread use of aspirin in humans within a dose range comparable to that used here, our findings are likely to have important physiological consequences.  相似文献

We demonstrate that natural heat stress on wild larval Drosophila melanogaster results in severe developmental defects in >10% of eclosing adults, and that increased copy number of the gene encoding the major inducible heat shock protein of D. melanogaster, Hsp70, is sufficient to reduce the incidence of such abnormalities. Specifically, non-adult D. melanogaster inhabiting necrotic fruit experienced severe, often lethal heat stress in natural settings. Adult flies eclosing from wild larvae that had survived natural heat stress exhibited severe developmental anomalies of wing and abdominal morphology, which should dramatically affect fitness. The frequency of developmental abnormalities varied along two independent natural thermal gradients, exceeding 10% in adults eclosing from larvae developing in warm, sunlit fruit. When exposed to natural heat stress, D. melanogaster larvae with the wild-type number of hsp70 genes (n=10) developed abnormal wings significantly more frequently than a transgenic sister strain with 22 copies of the hsp70 gene.

We have examined differences in the spatial and temporal regulation of stress-induced hsp47 and hsp70 gene expression following exposure of zebrafish embryos to heat shock or ethanol. Using Northern blot analysis, we found that levels of hsp47 and hsp70 mRNA were dramatically elevated during heat shock in 2-day-old embryos. In contrast, ethanol exposure resulted in strong upregulation of the hsp47 gene whereas hsp70 mRNA levels increased only slightly following the same treatment. Whole-mount in situ hybridization analysis revealed that hsp47 mRNA was expressed predominantly in precartilagenous cells, as well as several other connective tissue cell populations within the embryo following exposure to either stress. hsp70 mRNA displayed a very different cell-specific distribution. For example, neither stress induced hsp70 mRNA accumulation in precartilagenous cells. However, high levels of hsp70 mRNA were detectable in epithelial cells of the developing epidermis following exposure to heat shock, but not to ethanol. These cells did not express the hsp47 gene following exposure to either of these stresses. The results suggest the presence of different inducible regulatory mechanisms for these genes which operate in a cell- and stress-specific manner in zebrafish embryos. Dev.

A 71 kiloDalton antigen from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is recognized by antibodies and by T lymphocytes during infection (Britton et al., 1986a). Partial sequence analysis indicates a relationship between this antigen and the highly conserved family of 70-kiloDalton heat shock proteins (hsp70) (Young et al., 1988). Biochemical and serological characterization of the protein confirms its membership of the hsp70 gene family, and metabolic labelling demonstrates that it is a major component of the mycobacterial response to heat stress. The role of stress proteins as antigens during infection is discussed.  相似文献

Aging affects expression of 70-kDa heat shock proteins in Drosophila   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
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

Stress response genes including heat shock proteins are induced under a variety of conditions to confer cellular protection. This study investigated the role of calcium signaling in the induction of two stress response genes, heme oxygenase-1/hsp32 and hsp70, in isolated rat hepatocytes. Both genes were induced by cellular glutathione depletion. This induction could be inhibited by BAPTA-AM. Culturing in a calcium-free medium prevented the induction of hsp70 gene expression after glutathione depletion without affecting heme oxygenase-1 gene expression. Thapsigargin increased the gene expression of heme oxygenase-1 but not that of hsp70. Thapsigargin-induced heme oxygenase-1 induction was completely inhibited by BAPTA-AM. Incubation with the Ca2+-ionophore A23187 augmented heme oxygenase-1 (two-fold) and hsp70 (5.2-fold) mRNA levels. Our data suggests a significant role of Ca2+-dependent pathways in the induction of the two stress genes. An increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ activity seems to play a key role in the cascade of signaling leading to the induction of the two genes. However, the source of Ca2+ that fluxes into the cytoplasm seems to be different. Our data provides evidence for a compartmentalization of calcium fluxes, i.e. the Ca2+ flux from intracellular stores (e.g. the endoplasmic reticulum) plays a major role in the induction of heme oxygenase-1. By contrast, Ca2+ flux from the extracellular medium seems to be a mechanism initiating the cellular signaling cascade leading to hsp70 gene induction.  相似文献

【目的】昆虫在高温或农药的胁迫下,通过高效表达热休克蛋白(HSP)等建立应激自我保护机制。本研究为从转录组水平上认识大豆蚜Aphis glycines在热应激和吡虫啉胁迫下hsp70和hsc70 mRNA表达分子机制,进而寻找自我保护应激反应中的薄弱环节,为大豆蚜的生物防治提供理论基础。【方法】采用同源克隆、RACE技术和实时荧光定量PCR等方法研究不同热激时间和热激后不同恢复时间及不同吡虫啉浓度对大豆蚜4龄若虫hsp70和hsc70的表达影响。【结果】37℃热激后,大豆蚜4龄若虫中hsp70表达量先上调,1 h时升至对照组的10.36倍(P<0.05),然后逐渐下降。同样热激后恢复时间的长短对大豆蚜若蚜中hsp70的表达具有显著影响。热激处理后,大豆蚜若蚜中hsp70立即大量表达,表达量为对照组的8.78倍(P<0.05),随后表达量下降至对照组水平,而hsc70的表达量并没有显著变化(P>0.05)。大豆蚜若蚜受吡虫啉的胁迫时,其hsp70和hsc70的表达量受吡虫啉的浓度及胁迫的时间的影响,呈现先升高后下降的趋势,具有明显的短期效应。【结论】吡虫啉诱导大豆蚜hsp70和hsc70表达量的上调;而热胁迫对hsp70和hsc70 mRNA具有不同的表达模式,高温可以诱导hsp70的表达,但对hsc70没有明显的诱导作用。  相似文献
