The effects of nitrite, at varying concentrations (0, 25 and 50mg/l), on silver sea bream (Sparus sarba), was assessed after 7 days exposure. Nitrite exposure resulted in an elevated renosomatic index in parallel with increased kidney water content. Measurements of serum thyroid hormones demonstrated that levels of thyroxine (T(4)) were decreased upon nitrite exposure whereas triiodothyronine (T(3)) concentrations remained unchanged. Nitrite did not affect serum K and Na levels but did cause an increase in gill sodium pump (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) activity. Using immunoassays, it was found that the abundance of the water channel protein, aquaporin 3 (AQP3) was unchanged in gills but decreased in kidneys of sea bream upon nitrite exposure. Immunoassay analysis also demonstrated that the amount of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family were increased in gills, kidney and liver during nitrite exposure whereas amounts of the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) family increased in kidneys and liver. Taken together, the findings from this study provide new insights into how nitrite affects osmoregulatory, endocrine processes and heat shock protein expression in a marine fish.

Apoptosis contributes to cell death after cerebral ischaemia. A quantitative proteomics approach has been employed to define alterations in protein levels in apoptosis induced with staurosporine (STS). Human neuroblastoma derived SH-SY5Y cells were treated with STS (500 nM for 6 h) to induce apoptosis. Quantitative 2-DE was used to determine the changing protein levels with MALDI-TOF MS identification of proteins. Of the 154 proteins analysed, 13 proteins were significantly altered as a result of the apoptotic stimulus; ten of the proteins showed an increase in level with STS and were identified as heat shock cognate 71 (Hsc71), two isoforms of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), F-actin capping protein, stress-induced phosphoprotein 1, chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1), protein disulphide isomerase A3 (PDI A3) precursor, transitional ER ATPase and actin interacting protein 1 (AIP 1). Three proteins which displayed significant decrease in levels with STS were identified as tubulin, vimentin and glucose regulated protein 94 (GRP94). The functional roles and subcellular locations of these proteins collectively indicate that STS-induced apoptosis provokes induces an unfolded protein response involving molecular chaperones, cochaperones and structural proteins indicative of ER stress.

Addition of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to culture medium increases the proportion of bovine embryos that develop to the blastocyst stage and increases embryo survival following transfer to heat-stressed, lactating dairy cows. The objective of the present study was to determine molecular and cellular correlates of these actions of IGF-1. Embryos were produced in vitro and cultured for 7 days with or without 100 ng/ml IGF-1. On d 7 after insemination, grade 1 expanded blastocysts were harvested and used to determine total cell number, percent apoptosis, cell allocation to the inner cell mass and trophectoderm, and the relative abundance of several developmentally important gene transcripts. There was no significant effect of IGF-1 treatment on blastocyst cell number, the proportion of blastomeres that were apoptotic, or the number of cells in the inner cell mass and trophectoderm. However, differences in the relative abundance of several mRNA transcripts were observed between control and IGF-1 treated embryos. Addition of IGF-1 increased (P < 0.02) amounts of mRNA for IGF binding protein-3 and desmocollin II and tended (P < 0.08) to increase amounts of mRNA for Na/K ATPase and Bax. Moreover, IGF-1 treatment decreased (P < 0.05) steady-state amounts of transcripts for heat shock protein 70 and tended (P < 0.08) to reduce amounts of IGF-1 receptor mRNA. In conclusion, increased survival of embryos treated with IGF-1 does not appear due to effects on cell number, percent apoptosis, or cell allocation. Addition of IGF-1 to culture can, however, alter expression of several transcripts which may be important for embryo development and survival following transfer.

T-shape radial spokes regulate flagellar beating. However, the precise function and molecular mechanism of these spokes remain unclear. Interestingly, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii flagella lacking a dimeric heat shock protein (HSP) 40 at the spokehead-spokestalk juncture appear normal in length and composition but twitch actively while cells jiggle without procession, resembling a central pair (CP) mutant. HSP40(-) cells begin swimming upon electroporation with recombinant HSP40. Surprisingly, the rescue doesn't require the signature DnaJ domain. Furthermore, the His-Pro-Asp tripeptide that is essential for stimulating HSP70 adenosine triphosphatase diverges in candidate orthologues, including human DnaJB13. Video microscopy reveals hesitance in bend initiation and propagation as well as irregular stalling and stroke switching despite fairly normal waveform. The in vivo evidence suggests that the evolutionarily conserved HSP40 specifically transforms multiple spoke proteins into stable conformation capable of mechanically coupling the CP with dynein motors. This enables 9 + 2 cilia and flagella to bend and switch to generate alternate power strokes and recovery strokes.

Physcomitrella patens is well known because of its importance in the study of plant systematics and evolution. The tolerance of P. patens for high-salinity environments also makes it an ideal candidate for studying the molecular mechanisms by which plants respond to salinity stresses. We measured changes in the proteome of P. patens gametophores that were exposed to high-salinity (250, 300, and 350 mM NaCl) using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Sixty-five protein spots were significantly altered by exposure to the high-salinity environment. Among them, 16 protein spots were down-regulated and 49 protein spots were up-regulated. These proteins were associated with a variety of functions, including energy and material metabolism, protein synthesis and degradation, cell defense, cell growth/division, transport, signal transduction, and transposons. Specifically, the up-regulated proteins were primarily involved in defense, protein folding, and ionic homeostasis. In summary, we outline several novel insights into the response of P. patens to high-salinity; (1) HSP70 is likely to play a significant role in protecting proteins from denaturation and degradation during salinity stress, (2) signaling proteins, such as 14-3-3 and phototropin, may work cooperatively to regulate plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase and maintain ion homeostasis, (3) an increase in photosynthetic activity may contribute to salinity tolerance, and (4) ROS scavengers were up-regulated suggesting that the antioxidative system may play a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage following exposure to salinity stress in P. patens.

Mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is an ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase, and its activation results in cell apoptosis. Recent studies suggest that Mst1 may function as a tumor suppressor. Here, we reported that heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), which is thought to protect cells against cellular stress, has been identified as an Mst1-interacting protein, in a yeast two-hybrid screen of human adult prostate cDNA library with a dominant-negative Mst1 (K59R) as bait. The interaction of Mst1 with Hsp70 was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation in both cotransfected HEK293 cells and prostate cancer cells. Hsp70 colocalized with Mst1 in the cytoplasm of LNCaP cells. The interaction sites with Mst1 consisted of NH(2)-terminal ATPase domain in Hsp70, whereas the inhibitory domain of Mst1 mediates the binding of Hsp70 in Mst1. Overexpression of Hsp70 mediates proteasomal degradation of Mst1 in a Hsp70 interacting protein (CHIP)-dependent manner. Furthermore, the proapoptotic effect of Mst1 was markedly inhibited by overexpression of Hsp70 or CHIP. Most strikingly, in response to the treatment of anticancer drug cisplatin, the induction of Hsp70 expression is higher in the androgen-independent DU145 cells compared with the androgen-dependent LNCaP cells. The higher levels of Hsp70 induction and subsequent Mst1 degradation mediate cisplatin resistance in prostate cancer DU145 cells. Moreover, overexpression of Mst1 sensitizes prostate cancer cells to cisplatin treatment. These findings implicate that Mst1, a downstream target of Hsp70, may be developed as a target for sensitizing hormone-refractory prostate cancers to chemotherapy.

The main aim of the current in vitro experiment was to search for makers for PFOS exposure in isolated hepatocytes from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, based on genes responding to PFOS exposure in other animals. Primary cell cultures of hepatocytes were exposed to four concentrations of PFOS (2.1-6.2-15.1-25.0 mg/L) for 24 and 48 h and the transcriptional levels of 12 genes encoding proteins known to respond to PFOS were quantified with real-time RT-PCR. The 12 examined genes were caspase 3B (apoptosis), GSH-Px and HSP70 (cellular stress), CYP1A, CYP3A, GST and UGT (P450 and phase II enzymes), acyl-CoA oxidase, PPARalpha, PPARbeta and PPARgamma (lipid metabolism) and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (ion regulation). Most of the studied genes responded in a dose-dependent manner to PFOS exposure, although the transcriptional differences in general where small with regard to fold change. Our results clearly suggest that PFOS exposure enhanced cellular stress in the examined cells, even though the exact mechanisms behind this stress remain unknown. The results from this in vitro experiment showed that genes known to be affected by PFOS exposure in other species also were induced in hepatocytes of Atlantic salmon, giving us the rationale to expand to testing the actual in vivo magnitude of effect in Atlantic salmon exposed to PFOS at doses usually seen in nature/diets.

Repeated mild heat shock treatment has been shown to have anti-aging effects on cellular mechanisms in vitro. Among these, the age-associated accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), such as N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), has been demonstrated to be effectively prevented in glyoxal-exposed human skin fibroblasts following mild heat shock treatment. The biochemical mechanism responsible for this inhibition is not yet known. However, the involvement of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and the misfolded proteins degrading the ubiquitin-proteasome system have been hypothesized. As AGE-modified proteins are likely to be conformationally modified, we investigated whether treatment of human intestinal cells with casein-linked CML or nonprotein-linked CML affects the expression of HSPs and the ubiquitin-proteasome system by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight tandem mass spectroscopy (after protein separation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis) and by Western blotting. Compared to nontreated control cells, expression of HSP90, HSP60, HSP70 chaperones, and the proteasome S26 ATPase subunit 2 were significantly upregulated in casein-CML and in CML-treated cells. Exposure of Caco-2 cells to beta-amyloid, a nonglycation product, revealed similar results. In conclusion, the results indicate that CML and casein-linked CML activate the expression of HSPs as well as the proteasome system, which are involved in the degradation of misfolded and possibly glycated proteins. Whether this mechanism is based on binding to cell surface receptors, such as the receptor for AGE, has to be clarified in future studies.

To know the root adjustment in response to iron deficiency, differentially displayed proteins in tomato roots of wild type and its iron uptake inefficient mutant T3238fer were analyzed by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF MS-based proteomic method under iron sufficiency and deficiency. Ninety-seven proteins were identified, 63 of them were classified in various metabolic pathways. About 40 proteins involved in starch degradation, TCA and ascorbate cycles were upregulated under iron deficiency and grouped in a network together with glycolysis, whereas proteins for fructose metabolism were decreased. Proteins involved in methionine synthesis, cell wall synthesis, mitochondria ATP synthesis, vacuole ATPase, HSP70/90, etc. also revealed enhanced expression under iron deficiency, while proteins about redox homeostasis, transcription factors, kinases, etc. showed diversified changes. The responses are closely associated with energy metabolism, organic acid formation, root morphological change, redox and sulfur homeostasis, and signal transduction, which enhance iron uptake, reutilization and other adaptive changes. Most of the proteins affected by iron deficiency and fer mutation showed similar effect on individual proteins or pathways, but the independent function of FER to iron deficiency were statistically indicated.

The stress 70 protein chaperone (STCH), a member of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) superfamily, is a microsomal protein that contains a N-terminal ATPase domain but lacks a C-terminal protein binding domain. Although cell-protective functions of HSP70 members are well characterized, the biological relevance of STCH remains unclear. We previously identified STCH as a candidate gene for susceptibility to stomach cancer by genetic analyses. In this study, we searched somatic mutations of STCH in human stomach cancer and identified the 668del12bp mutation in exon 4, resulting in a four amino acid deletion (del223V-226L) in the conserved ATP-binding domain. In vitro binding assays revealed that this mutant lacks ATP-binding activity. Overexpression of wild-type STCH sensitized cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced cell death, whereas del223V-226L mutant did not show any effect. These results suggest that STCH has a role in cell survival via modulation of the TRAIL-mediated cell death pathway.
