Endogenous Heat Shock Protein Research Articles

Endogenous fluorescent reporters for heat shock proteins are not detectable after stress induction.

Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) utilise unique unfolded protein response (UPR) mechanisms to maintain cellular proteostasis. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are UPR chaperones induced by specific stressors to promote protein folding. Previous research has successfully employed transgenic reporters in Caenorhabditis elegans to report HSP induction. However, transgenic reporters are overexpressed and only show promoter regulation and not post-transcriptional regulation. To examine endogenous HSP regulation, we attempted to generate and validate endogenous reporters for mitochondrial ( HSP-60 ) and ER ( HSP-4 ) chaperones. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, F2A-GFP-H2B coding DNA was inserted downstream of each HSP gene and stress induction assays conducted to validate these tools. Endogenous reporters were successfully generated for hsp-4 and hsp-60 . However, GFP induction could not be detected with these endogenous reporters upon stress induction, likely due to low level expression.

Quantitative Comparison of HSF1 Activators

The heat shock response (HSR) pathway is a highly conserved rescue mechanism, which protects the cells from harmful insults disturbing the cellular protein homeostasis via expression of chaperones. Furthermore, it was demonstrated to play crucial roles in various diseases like neurodegeneration and cancer. For neurodegenerative diseases, an overexpression of chaperones is a potential therapeutic approach to clear the cells from non-functional protein aggregates. Therefore, activators of the HSR pathway and its master regulator HSF1 are under close observation. There are numerous HSR activators published in the literature using different model systems, experimental designs, and readout assays. The aim of this work was to provide a quantitative comparison of a broad range of published activators using a newly developed HSF responsive dual-luciferase cell line. Contrary to natural target genes, which are regulated by multiple input pathways, the artificial reporter exclusively reacts to HSF activity. In addition, the results were compared to endogenous heat shock protein expression. As a result, great differences in the intensity of pathway activation were observed. In addition, a parallel viability assessment revealed high variability in the specificity of the drugs. Furthermore, the differences seen compared to published data indicate that some activators exhibit tissue-specific differences leading to interesting assumptions about the regulation of HSF1.

Establishing an effective gene knockdown system using cultured cells of the model fish medaka (Oryzias latipes).

In spite of the growing attention given to medaka (Oryzias latipes) as an excellent vertebrate model, an effective gene knockdown system has not yet been established using cultured cells of this fish species. In this study, a gene knockdown system using short interfering RNA (siRNA) in medaka cell lines was established through the optimization of transfection conditions. By extensive screening of several medaka cell lines and transfection reagents, OLHNI-2 cells and X-tremeGENE siRNA Transfection Reagent were selected as the best combination to achieve high transfection efficiency of siRNA without cytotoxic effect. Knockdown conditions were then refined using the endogenous heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) genes as the siRNA targets. Among the parameters tested, cell density, serum concentration in the culture medium, and duration of transfection improved knockdown efficiency, where the target mRNA in cells transfected with each of the siRNAs was reduced from 12.0% to 26.7% of the control level. Our results indicate that the established knockdown system using siRNA is a promising tool for functional analysis of medaka genes in vitro.

H90-10 single-chain antibody recognizes Hsp90beta by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting

The recombinant antibody H90-10 detects the endogenous human heat-shock protein 90 beta (Hsp90β) by immunoprecipitation (IP) and Western blotting.

Regulation of Antimicrobial Pathways by Endogenous Heat Shock Proteins in Gastrointestinal Disorders

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are essential mediators of cellular homeostasis by maintaining protein functionality and stability, and activating appropriate immune cells. HSP activity is influenced by a variety of factors including diet, microbial stimuli, environment and host immunity. The overexpression and down-regulation of HSPs is associated with various disease phenotypes, including the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease (CD). While the precise etiology of CD remains unclear, many of the putative triggers also influence HSP activity. The development of different CD phenotypes therefore may be a result of the disease-modifying behavior of the environmentally-regulated HSPs. Understanding the role of bacterial and endogenous HSPs in host homeostasis and disease will help elucidate the complex interplay of factors. Furthermore, discerning the function of HSPs in CD may lead to therapeutic developments that better reflect and respond to the gut environment.

Chemical stresses fail to mimic the unfolded protein response resulting from luminal load with unfolded polypeptides

The stress sensors ATF6, IRE1, and PERK monitor deviations from homeostatic conditions in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a protein biogenesis compartment of eukaryotic cells. Their activation elicits unfolded protein responses (UPR) to re-establish proteostasis. UPR have been extensively investigated in cells exposed to chemicals that activate ER stress sensors by perturbing calcium, N-glycans, or redox homeostasis. Cell responses to variations in luminal load with unfolded proteins are, in contrast, poorly characterized. Here, we compared gene and protein expression profiles in HEK293 cells challenged with ER stress-inducing drugs or expressing model polypeptides. Drug titration to limit up-regulation of the endogenous ER stress reporters heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5 (BiP/HSPA5) and homocysteine-inducible ER protein with ubiquitin-like domain 1 (HERP/HERPUD1) to levels comparable with luminal accumulation of unfolded proteins substantially reduced the amplitude of both transcriptional and translational responses. However, these drug-induced changes remained pleiotropic and failed to recapitulate responses to ER load with unfolded proteins. These required unfolded protein association with BiP and induced a much smaller subset of genes participating in a chaperone complex that binds unfolded peptide chains. In conclusion, UPR resulting from ER load with unfolded proteins proceed via a well-defined and fine-tuned pathway, whereas even mild chemical stresses caused by compounds often used to stimulate UPR induce cellular responses largely unrelated to the UPR or ER-mediated protein secretion.

Suppressed heat shock protein response in the kidney of exercise-trained diabetic rats.

Impaired expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and increased oxidative stress may contribute to the pathophysiology of diabetes by disrupted tissue protection. Acute exercise induces oxidative stress, whereas exercise training up-regulates endogenous antioxidant defenses and HSP expression. Although diabetic nephropathy is a major contributor to diabetic morbidity, information regarding the effect of HSPs on kidney protection is limited. This study evaluated the effects of eight-week exercise training on kidney HSP expression and markers of oxidative stress at rest and after acute exercise in rats with or without streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Induction of diabetes increased DNA-binding activity of heat shock factor-1, but decreased the expression of HSP72, HSP60, and HSP90. The inflammatory markers IL-6 and TNF-alpha were increased in the kidney tissue of diabetic animals. Both exercise training and acute exercise increased HSP72 and HSP90 protein levels only in non-diabetic rats. On the other hand, exercise training appeared to reverse the diabetes-induced histological changes together with decreased expression of TGF-beta as a key inducer of glomerulosclerosis, and decreased levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Notably, HSP72 and TGF-beta were negatively correlated. In conclusion, impaired HSP defense seems to contribute to kidney injury vulnerability in diabetes and exercise training does not up-regulate kidney HSP expression despite the improvements in histopathological and inflammatory markers.

Vitamin C and sodium bicarbonate enhance the antioxidant ability of H9C2 cells and induce HSPs to relieve heat stress.

Heat stress is exacerbated by global warming and affects human and animal health, leading to heart damage caused by imbalances in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant system, acid-base chemistry, electrolytes and respiratory alkalosis. Vitamin C scavenges excess ROS, and sodium bicarbonate maintains acid-base and electrolyte balance, and alleviates respiratory alkalosis. Herein, we explored the ability of vitamin C alone and in combination with equimolar sodium bicarbonate (Vitamin C-Na) to stimulate endogenous antioxidants and heat shock proteins (HSPs) to relieve heat stress in H9C2 cells. Control, vitamin C (20μg/ml vitamin C for 16h) and vitamin C-Na (20μg/ml vitamin C-Na for 16h) groups were heat-stressed for 1, 3 or 5h. Granular and vacuolar degeneration, karyopyknosis and damage to nuclei and mitochondria were clearly reduced in treatment groups, as were apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase activity and ROS and malondialdehyde levels, while superoxide dismutase activity was increased. Additionally, CRYAB, Hsp27, Hsp60 and Hsp70 mRNA levels were upregulated at 3h (p < 0.01), and protein levels were increased for CRYAB at 0h (p < 0.05) and 1h (p < 0.01), and for Hsp70 at 3 and 5h (p < 0.01). Thus, pre-treatment with vitamin C or vitamin C-Na might protect H9C2 cells against heat damage by enhancing the antioxidant ability and upregulating CRYAB and Hsp70.

Personalized vaccine for advanced HCC.

TPS527 Background: The chronic inflammation and viral infection associated with HCC combined with liver tolerogenic mechanisms creates a profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment. Modulating the microenvironment with checkpoint blockade benefits ~20% of patients. The non-responders and those with poor liver function are an unmet need. Checkpoint blockade requires effector cells to be resident within tumors. However, the majority of HCC lesions lack effector cells. Therefore, a strategy for amplifying the tumor-specific immune response, while counteracting the immunosuppressive mechanisms may provide an improved immunotherapy. Endogenous heat shock proteins (HSP) chaperone tumor neoantigens. A concentrated composition of calreticulin, hsp70, hsp90 and gr94/gp96 (CRCL) is purified from biopsy samples. In addition, a bioengineered allograft (BAG) derived from healthy blood donors with a Th1 memory phenotype, CD3/CD28-coated microbeads and high expression of CD40L has potent immunomodulatory and counter-regulatory properties. The combination of CRCL with BAG is being evaluated as a strategy to amplify tumor-specific immunity and counter-regulate the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Methods: An open-label Phase II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of CRCL+BAG vaccine in Child-Pugh A/B advanced/metastatic HCC w/o Sorafenib. Approximately 6-10 cores of tumor are collected at baseline. The tumor is lysed and CRCL purified using an isoelectric focusing technique. Subjects are primed with multiple intradermal injections of BAG cells alone to increase the titer of allo-specific Th1/Tc1 cells. Next, multiple intradermal injections of BAG+CRCL are administered to elicit increased titers of tumor-specific Th1/Tc1 cells. Subsequent intravenous infusions of BAG cells activate allo- and tumor-specific memory cells, enabling their infiltration into tumor lesions. The BAG allo-rejection response creates a type I cytokine storm which serves to down-regulate suppressor circuits. Response is evaluated by mRECIST and experimental biomarkers. Longitudinal CT scans with concurrent biopsies as well as multiple collections of PBMC and plasma permits immunomonitoring of these immune mechanisms. Clinical trial information: NCT02409524.

Immune tolerance therapies for autoimmune diseases based on heat shock protein T-cell epitopes.

Experimental models of autoimmune diseases have revealed the disease protective role of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Both the administration of exogenous extracellular, mostly recombinant, HSP and the experimental co-induction of endogenous intracellular HSP in models have been shown to lead to production of disease protective regulatory T cells (Tregs). Similar to HSP taken up from extracellular bodily fluids, due to stress-related autophagy upregulated HSP also from intracellular sources is a major provider for the major histocompatibility class II (MHCII) ligandome; therefore, both extracellular and intracellular HSP can be prominent targets of Treg. The development of therapeutic peptide vaccines for the restoration of immune tolerance in inflammatory diseases is an area of intensive research. In this area, HSPs are a target for tolerance-inducing T-cell therapy, because of their wide expression in inflamed tissues. In humans, in whom the actual disease trigger is frequently unknown, HSP peptides offer chances for tolerance-promoting interventions through induction of HSP-specific Treg. Recently, we have shown the ability of a bacterial HSP70-derived peptide, HSP70-B29, to induce HSP-specific Tregs that suppressed arthritis by cross-recognition of their mammalian HSP70 homologues, abundantly present in the MHCII ligandome of stressed mouse and human antigen-presenting cells in inflamed tissues.This article is part of the theme issue 'Heat shock proteins as modulators and therapeutic targets of chronic disease: an integrated perspective'.

HSPs drive dichotomous T-cell immune responses via DNA methylome remodelling in antigen presenting cells

Immune responses primed by endogenous heat shock proteins, specifically gp96, can be varied, and mechanisms controlling these responses have not been defined. Immunization with low doses of gp96 primes T helper type 1 (Th1) immune responses, whereas high-dose immunization primes responses characterized by regulatory T (Treg) cells and immunosuppression. Here we show gp96 preferentially engages conventional and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) under low and high doses, respectively, through CD91. Global DNMT-dependent epigenetic modifications lead to changes in protein expression within these antigen-presenting cells. Specifically, pDCs upregulate neuropilin-1 to enable the long term interactions of pDCs with Treg cells, thereby enhancing suppression of Th1 anti-tumour immunity. Our study defines a CD91-dependent mechanism through which gp96 controls dichotomous immune responses relevant to the therapy of cancer and autoimmunity.

Folliculocentric Herpes: A Clinicopathological Study of 28 Patients.

The cutaneous manifestations of herpes infection are primarily in the context of active infection and of the post-herpetic zosteriform eruption. The former manifests cytopathic alterations diagnostic of herpes. The latter includes lichen planus-like and granuloma annulare-like eruptions and lymphocytoma cutis. We encountered skin biopsies from 28 patients whose acute or chronic herpetic or post-herpetic zosteriform lesions manifested folliculocentricity. The clinical appearance of the lesions was correlated with the histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of paraffin-embedded skin biopsies to determine the specific viral etiology. A history of underlying medical disease was noted if present. There were 16 men and 12 women with a folliculocentric eruption occurring after a known herpetic eruption or manifesting cytopathic changes and/or immunohistochemical findings compatible with herpes virus in lesional skin biopsies. Underlying immune dysregulatory states were present in most cases, namely, malignancy, anticonvulsant or antidepressant therapy, diabetes mellitus, psoriasis, Crohn disease, and other conditions. All biopsies demonstrated dense lymphohistiocytic infiltrates in or around hair follicles with variable necrosis, while active infections also showed cytopathic and/or immunohistochemical evidence of herpetic alterations, most commonly varicella zoster. Other features included interfollicular interface dermatitis, lymphocytic eccrine hidradenitis, neuritis, and folliculocentric vasculitis. Cutaneous herpetic eruptions can evoke a predominantly folliculocentric mononuclear cell reaction and vasculitis; there is an association with underlying endogenous and/or iatrogenic immune dysregulation. Most cases are secondary to reactivation of varicella zoster. The histomorphology suggests a role for cell-mediated immunity. Antigenic homology of an endogenous 72-kd heat shock protein in follicles with that of a herpetic heat shock protein, in concert with an intrafollicular proliferative response of γ-δ T lymphocytes, may explain the follicular localization and composition of the infiltrate.

Adenofection: A Method for Studying the Role of Molecular Chaperones in Cellular Morphodynamics by Depletion-Rescue Experiments.

Cellular processes such as mitosis and cell differentiation are governed by changes in cell shape that largely rely on proper remodeling of the cell cytoskeletal structures. This involves the assembly-disassembly of higher-order macromolecular structures at a given time and location, a process that is particularly sensitive to perturbations caused by overexpression of proteins. Methods that can preserve protein homeostasis and maintain near-to-normal cellular morphology are highly desirable to determine the functional contribution of a protein of interest in a wide range of cellular processes. Transient depletion-rescue experiments based on RNA interference are powerful approaches to analyze protein functions and structural requirements. However, reintroduction of the target protein with minimum deviation from its physiological level is a real challenge. Here we describe a method termed adenofection that was developed to study the role of molecular chaperones and partners in the normal operation of dividing cells and the relationship with actin remodeling. HeLa cells were depleted of BAG3 with siRNA duplexes targeting the 3'UTR region. GFP-tagged BAG3 proteins were reintroduced simultaneously into >75% of the cells using recombinant adenoviruses coupled to transfection reagents. Adenofection enabled to express BAG3-GFP proteins at near physiological levels in HeLa cells depleted of BAG3, in the absence of a stress response. No effect was observed on the levels of endogenous Heat Shock Protein chaperones, the main stress-inducible regulators of protein homeostasis. Furthermore, by adding baculoviruses driving the expression of fluorescent markers at the time of cell transduction-transfection, we could dissect mitotic cell dynamics by time-lapse microscopic analyses with minimum perturbation of normal mitotic progression. Adenofection is applicable also to hard-to-infect mouse cells, and suitable for functional analyses of myoblast differentiation into myotubes. Thus adenofection provides a versatile method to perform structure-function analyses of proteins involved in sensitive biological processes that rely on higher-order cytoskeletal dynamics.

Heat Shock Proteins as Target for the Induction of Antigen-Specific Tolerance in Rheumatoid Arthritis and other Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

The critical causative factor of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the faulty regulation of self-tolerance. Despite good results in patients that do respond to potent immunosuppressive therapies, in most of the cases only partial responses are achieved leaving them unduly susceptible to risks, such as infections. More importantly, immunosuppressive measures do not alter the basic condition, so that disease returns when therapy is halted. Antigen-specific therapies may represent a better and more physiological approach for manipulating the immune response avoiding the generalized immune suppression in patients and possibly leading to a state of permanent disease remission. The selection of auto-antigens without necessarily being the initiator of disease and with the ability to induce regulatory T cells is crucial for the development of antigen-specific therapies. Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are up-regulated during inflammation and HSP-responses are immuno-dominant. HSP-derived peptides have proved to be able to produce a shift from a pro-inflammatory to a tolerogenic phenotype in pathogenic T cells and endogenous HSP have been shown to act as targets for anti-inflammatory Tregs that control disease without general immune suppression.

Conditional Gene Expression/Deletion Systems for Marchantia polymorpha Using its Own Heat-Shock Promoter and Cre/loxP-Mediated Site-Specific Recombination.

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is an emerging model plant suitable for addressing, using genetic approaches, various evolutionary questions in the land plant lineage. Haploid dominancy in its life cycle facilitates genetic analyses, but conversely limits the ability to isolate mutants of essential genes. To overcome this issue and to be employed in cell lineage, mosaic and cell autonomy analyses, we developed a system that allows conditional gene expression and deletion using a promoter of a heat-shock protein (HSP) gene and the Cre/loxP site-specific recombination system. Because the widely used promoter of the Arabidopsis HSP18.2 gene did not operate in M. polymorpha, we identified a promoter of an endogenous HSP gene, MpHSP17.8A1, which exhibited a highly inducible transient expression level upon heat shock with a low basal activity level. Reporter genes fused to this promoter were induced globally in thalli under whole-plant heat treatment and also locally using a laser-assisted targeted heating technique. By expressing Cre fused to the glucocorticoid receptor under the control of the MpHSP17.8A1 promoter, a low background, sufficiently inducible control for loxP-mediated recombination could be achieved in M. polymorpha. Based on these findings, we developed a Gateway technology-based binary vector for the conditional induction of gene deletions.

Release of endogenous heat shock protein 72 on the survival of sepsis in rats

BackgroundThis study was undertaken to clarify the role of extracellular heat shock protein 72 on the survival of sepsis and to determine possible factor(s) that may be responsible for it. Materials and methodsSepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture. Changes in serum levels of heat shock protein (Hsp72) and cytokines were determined during sepsis, and the results were correlated with the survival. Effects of heat pretreatment on Hsp72 expression in septic rat leukocytes and those of septic rat serum, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and certain cytokines on the release of Hsp72 in macrophage NR8383 cells were determined. ResultsCirculating Hsp72 levels were increased during the progress of sepsis (0, 5.5, 6.5, 10, and 6.5 ng/mL at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 18 h after cecal ligation and puncture, respectively) and the increases were correlated positively with survival rates. LPS triggered the release of Hsp72 in heat pretreated animals. Heat pretreatment increased Hsp72 expression in nonsepsis (+535%, P < 0.01) and sepsis (+116%, P<0.01%) rat leukocytes. Incubation of sepsis rat serum with NR8383 cells increased levels of extracellular heat shock protein 72 in cultured medium. Cytokine profiling revealed that among the 19 cytokines screened, four of them were increased as follows: cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 3 (+211.3%, P < 0.05), interleukin 10 (+147%, P < 0.05), MCP-1 (+49.6%, P < 0.05), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (+51.8%, P < 0.05). MCP-1 and LPS were capable of releasing Hsp72 from NR8383 cells. ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that the increases in the levels of circulating Hsp72 had a beneficial effect in improving animal survival during the progress of sepsis. The increases in circulating Hsp72 may be mediated via MCP-1 and/or LPS.

Diet and the Anti-inflammatory Effect of Heat Shock Proteins

Stress proteins or heat shock proteins (HSPs) have a critical role in gut health and immune regulation. They have a functional significance as molecular chaperones for cell skeleton proteins and intercellular tight junction proteins. Herewith HSPs ensure gut epithelium integrity and effective intestinal barrier function. In addition, stress protein molecules such as HSP70 are a target for anti-inflammatory regulatory T cells (Tregs). Inflamed sites in the body feature inflammatory-stress induced enhanced levels of HSPs, which enable the immune system to target Tregs selectively to sites of inflammation. We have shown in experimental models of inflammatory diseases that both microbial HSP and endogenous (self) HSP molecules are capable of inducing the expansion of disease suppressive Tregs. Since the gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is well poised towards the induction of regulation and tolerance, we set out to promote HSP expression and induction of Tregs in the gut lymphoid tissues by the oral administration of HSP co-inducing compounds. For the identification, selection and characterization of such compounds we have developed assay systems, such as reporter cell-lines, HSP specific T cell hybridomas and a transgenic mouse model (expression a HSP specific T cell receptor). The introduction of HSP coinducers into the diet constitutes a novel food based preventive or possibly even therapeutic approach in inflammatory diseases.

Inhibition of endogenous heat shock protein 70 attenuates inducible nitric oxide synthase induction via disruption of heat shock protein 70/Na(+) /H(+) exchanger 1-Ca(2+) -calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II/transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1-nuclear factor-κB signals in BV-2 microglia.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) critically contributes to inflammation and host defense. The inhibition of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) prevents iNOS induction in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. However, the role and mechanism of endogenous Hsp70 in iNOS induction in microglia remains unclear. This study addresses this issue in BV-2 microglia, showing that Hsp70 inhibition or knockdown prevents LPS-induced iNOS protein expression and nitric oxide production. Real-time PCR experiments showed that LPS-induced iNOS mRNA transcription was blocked by Hsp70 inhibition. Further studies revealed that the inhibition of Hsp70 attenuated LPS-stimulated nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB as well as the degradation of inhibitor of κB (IκB)-α and phosphorylation of IκB kinase β (IKKβ). This prevention effect of Hsp70 inhibition on IKKβ-NF-κB activation was found to be dependent on the Ca(2+) /calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)/transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) signals based on the following observations: 1) chelation of intracellular Ca(2+) or inhibition of CaMKII reduced LPS-induced increases in TAK1 phosphorylation and 2) Hsp70 inhibition reduced LPS-induced increases in CaMKII/TAK1 phosphorylation, intracellular pH value, [Ca(2+) ]i , and CaMKII/TAK1 association. Mechanistic studies showed that Hsp70 inhibition disrupted the association between Hsp70 and Na(+) /H(+) exchanger 1 (NHE1), which is an important exchanger responsible for Ca(2+) influx in LPS-stimulated cells. These studies demonstrate that the inhibition of endogenous Hsp70 attenuates the induction of iNOS, which likely occurs through the disruption of NHE1/Hsp70-Ca(2+) -CaMKII/TAK1-NF-κB signals in BV-2 microglia, providing further insight into the functions of Hsp70 in the CNS.
