چکیده

Hemin-induced differentiation of the human erythroleukemia cell line K562 results in the expression and accumulation of erythroid-specific gene products such as embryonic and fetal hemoglobins and the elevated synthesis of the major heat shock protein HSP70. This activity was suggested to represent activation of a heat shock gene during erythroid maturation independent of stress induction. In this study, we demonstrate that hemin induces the transcription of two members of the human HSP70 gene family, HSP70 and GRP78 (BiP). However, the induction of HSP70 by hemin showed characteristics consistent with the molecular events associated with a heat shock or stress response. The increase in HSP70 gene transcription was accompanied by induction of the stress-induced form of the heat shock transcription factor. Moreover, a heat shock element was required for the hemin responsiveness of chimeric heat shock promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase genes transiently expressed in transfected K562 cells.

Activation of heat shock factor 2 during hemin-induced differentiation of human erythroleukemia cells.

Hemin induces nonterminal differentiation of human K562 erythroleukemia cells, which is accompanied by the expression of certain erythroid cell-specific genes, such as the embryonic and fetal globins, and elevated expression of the stress genes hsp70, hsp90, and grp78/BiP. Previous studies revealed that, as during heat shock, transcriptional induction of hsp70 in hemin-treated cells is mediated...

Human heat shock factors 1 and 2 are differentially activated and can synergistically induce hsp70 gene transcription.

Two members of the heat shock transcription factor (HSF) family, HSF1 and HSF2, both function as transcriptional activators of heat shock gene expression. However, the inducible DNA-binding activities of these two factors are regulated by distinct pathways. HSF1 is activated by heat shock and other forms of stress, whereas HSF2 is activated during hemin-induced differentiation of human K562 ery...

Differentiation lineage-specific expression of human heat shock transcription factor 2.

Differentiation of multipotential hematopoietic cells into lineage-committed precursors involves the selection and maintenance of appropriate programs of gene expression, regulated by specific transcription factors. Using human K562 erythroleukemia cells capable of differentiating along erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages, we explore the differentiation-related role of heat shock transcriptio...

Regulation of human heme oxygenase-1 gene expression under thermal stress.

Heme oxygenase-1 is an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, and its human gene promoter contains a putative heat shock element (HHO-HSE). This study was designed to analyze the regulation of human heme oxygenase-1 gene expression under thermal stress. The amounts of heme oxygenase-1 protein were not increased by heat shock (incubation at 42 degrees C) in human alveolar macrophages and in a huma...

CoREST represses the heat shock response mediated by HSF1.

The stress response in cells involves a rapid and transient transcriptional activation of stress genes. It has been shown that Hsp70 limits its own transcriptional activation functioning as a corepressor of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) during the attenuation of the stress response. Here we show that the transcriptional corepressor CoREST interacts with Hsp70. Through this interaction, CoREST repr...
