The cells death and genes expression in neonatal cardiomyocytes culture at two anoxia-reoxygenation modeling were investigated. The primary culture of neonatal cardiomyocytes was under­gone 30 min of anoxia followed by 24 h (A-R1) and the second anoxia-reoxygenation – 30 min and 60 min respectively (A-R2). The percentages of living, necrotic, apoptotic and autophagic cells were determined by staining with bis-benzimide, propidium iodide and monodansylcadaverine. Anoxia-reoxygenation sig­nificantly influenced the ratio of living, necrotic, apoptotic and autophagic cells both at its first A-R1 and second A-R2 epi­sodes. It was shown that the main mechanism of cell death after the both periods of anoxia-reoxygenation is necrosis. The changes of mRNA levels of genes of heat shock proteins HSP70 and HSP90, antiapoptotic protein Bcl2 and key regulator of au-tophagy FRAP in cardiomyocytes culture were established. The data obtained allow to make suggestion that in 24 h after the first episode of anoxia-reoxygenation A-R1 the overexpression of heat shock proteins starts the cascade of reactions that causes the necrotic cell death prevalent and the blocking of apoptotic program at second anoxia-reoxygenation A-R2.

AbstractPharmacological up-regulation of heat shock proteins (hsps) rescues motoneurons from cell death in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the relationship between increased hsp expression and neuronal survival is not straightforward. Here we examined the effects of two pharmacological agents that induce the heat shock response via activation of HSF-1, on stressed primary motoneurons in culture. Although both arimoclomol and celastrol induced the expression of Hsp70, their effects on primary motoneurons in culture were significantly different. Whereas arimoclomol had survival-promoting effects, rescuing motoneurons from staurosporin and H2O2 induced apoptosis, celastrol not only failed to protect stressed motoneurons from apoptosis under same experimental conditions, but was neurotoxic and induced neuronal death. Immunostaining of celastrol-treated cultures for hsp70 and activated caspase-3 revealed that celastrol treatment activates both the heat shock response and the apoptotic cell death cascade. These results indicate that not all agents that activate the heat shock response will necessarily be neuroprotective.

AbstractChanges in the viability, infectivity and heat shock protein (Hsp) levels are reported in Trichinella spiralis first stage larvae (L1) stored in 199 medium for up to seven days at 37°C. These conditions induce stress that the larvae, eventually, cannot overcome. After three days of storage, the infectivity and viability were unchanged, although higher Hsp70 levels were observed. After this time, larvae gradually lost viability and infectivity, coinciding with a decrease in Hsp70 and Hsp90 and an increase in actin (a housekeeping protein). In addition, a possibly inducible heat shock protein, Hsp90i, appeared as constitutive Hsp90 disappeared. No significant changes in Hsp60 levels were detected at any time. These results suggest that heat shock proteins initially try to maintain homeostasis, but on failing, may be involved in cell death.
