چکیده

Heat shock transcription factor (HSF) 1 levels increase in brain regions and decline in kidney during postnatal rat development. In both neonatal and adult rats, levels of HSF1 protein in brain and kidney are proportional to the levels of HSF DNA-binding activity and the magnitude of heat shock protein hsp70 induction after thermal stress. There appears to be more HSF1 protein in adult brain than is needed for induction of hsp70 after thermal stress, suggesting that HSF1 may have other functions in addition to its role as a stress-inducible activator of heat shock genes. HSF2 protein levels decline during postnatal rat development in brain regions and kidney. Gel mobility shift analysis shows that HSF2 is not in a DNA-binding form in the neonatal brain and kidney, suggesting that HSF2 may not be involved in the constitutive expression of hsps in early postnatal development. There is no apparent relationship between levels of HSF2 protein and basal levels of hsp90, hsp70, heat shock cognate protein hsc70, and hsp60.

Induction of heat shock proteins (hsps) is considered as an important protective, ecophysiologically adaptive, and genetically conserved response to environmental stress in all organisms. The effects of exposure to sublethal doses of CdCl2 (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 LC50) during 14 days on mRNA-hsp70 expression in liver and gillwere investigated in juveniles of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus).

Effect of hyperthermia on the transcription rate of heat-shock genes in the rabbit cerebellum and retina assayed by nuclear run-ons.

The induction of heat-shock protein 70 (hsp70) mRNA in the hyperthermic rabbit brain has been examined previously by using Northern blotting and in situ hybridization procedures that measure steady-state levels of mRNA, which may be influenced by transcript stability and transcription rate. In the present investigation, the in vivo transcription rate of hsp70 has been examined by using run-on t...

Effect of enviromental temperature on heat shock proteins (HSP30, HSP70, HSP90) and IGF-I mRNA expression in Sparus aurata

Ambient temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting physiological mechanisms and biochemical reactions of living organisms. Thus the effect of ambient temperature on HSPs and IGF-I gene expression levels in the liver and muscle tissues of Sparus aurata were investigated in this research. The levels of HSPs, and IGF-I gene expression of the liver and muscle of Sparus...

Potentiation of baroreceptor reflex response by heat shock protein 70 in nucleus tractus solitarii confers cardiovascular protection during heatstroke.

BACKGROUND Whereas hypotension and bradycardia seen during the onset of heatstroke may be protected by prior induction of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the brain, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. We evaluated the hypothesis that HSP70 may confer cardiovascular protection during heatstroke by potentiating the baroreceptor reflex (BRR) control of peripheral hemodynamic perform...
