Retinal preconditioning and the induction of heat-shock protein 27.
PURPOSE Brief periods of ischemia have been shown to protect the retina from potentially damaging periods of ischemia. This phenomenon has been termed ischemic preconditioning or ischemic tolerance. In the present study the cellular changes in levels of heat shock protein (Hsp)27, -70, and -90 mRNA and expression of Hsp in the rat retina associated with ischemic preconditioning were evaluated. ...
متن کاملExpression of heat shock protein 27 in human atherosclerotic plaques and increased plasma level of heat shock protein 27 in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
BACKGROUND We intended to identify proteins that are differentially expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS AND RESULTS Comparative 2-dimensional electrophoretic analysis on carotid atherosclerotic endarterectomy specimens (n = 10) revealed that heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) expression was significantly increased in the nearby normal-appearing area compared with the plaque core ar...
متن کاملHeat shock protein 27 controls apoptosis by regulating Akt activation.
Activation of the serine-threonine kinase Akt by cytokines, chemokines, and bacterial products delays constitutive neutrophil apoptosis, resulting in a prolonged inflammatory response. We showed previously that Akt exists in a signaling complex with p38 MAPK, MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK-2), and heat shock protein-27 (Hsp27); and Hsp27 dissociates from the complex upon neutrophil ac...
متن کاملReductive stress: linking heat shock protein 27, glutathione, and cardiomyopathy?
Normal cellular functions essentially depend on a balanced redox environment. Free radicals and nonradical oxidants can shift the redox balance toward a more “oxidized” state, which is counteracted by the intracellular antioxidant defense systems. These include the enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase, as well as the thiol-reducing systems (glutathione, glutaredoxin, and thioredoxin). Glut...
متن کاملPlasma paraoxonase, sphingosine-1-phosphate, total sialic acid, and heat shock protein-27 in the liver of the sheep naturally infected with Cysticercus tenuicollis: Evidence on pathological changes
The present study aimed to investigate whether sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), paraoxonase (PON), total sialic acid (TSA), and heat shock protein-27 (HSP27) are altered in the sheep during infection of the liver with Cysticercus tenuicollis. This study was conducted on40 healthy sheep and40 sheep with Cysticercus tenuicollis infection. The infected and non-infected animals were selected based on...
