The differentiation of Leishmania parasites from the insect stage, the promastigote, toward the pathogenic mammalian stage, the amastigote, is triggered primarily by the rise in ambient temperature encountered during the insect-to-mammal transmission. We show here that inactivation of heat shock protein (Hsp) 90, with the use of the drugs geldanamycin or radicicol, mimics transmission and induces the differentiation from the promastigote to the amastigote stage. Geldanamycin also induces a growth arrest of cultured promastigotes that can be forestalled by overexpression of the cytoplasmic Hsp90. Moreover, we demonstrate that Hsp90 serves as a feedback inhibitor of the cellular heat shock response inLeishmania. Our results are consistent with Hsp90 homeostasis serving as cellular thermometer for these primitive eukaryotes, controlling both the heat shock response and morphological differentiation.

The cellular protection mechanism, the heat shock response, is only activated by classical heat shock 90 inhibitors (Hsp90) that “target” the N-terminus of the protein, but not by those that modulate the C-terminus.

The heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor, geldanamycin, is a chemical inducer of the heat shock response (HSR) in Arabidopsis. Geldanamycin is thought to activate the heat shock signal by dissociating the HSP90-heat shock factor (HSF) complex. Recent studies have indicated that plant HSP70 is also associated with HSF, suggesting that inhibition of HSP70 may induce the HSR. However, no studies have been conducted to test this hypothesis. Here, we found that a specific HSP70 inhibitor VER-155008 activated the promoter of a small HSP gene (At1 g53540, HSP17.6C-CI) of Arabidopsis, which was shown to be activated by geldanamycin and other HSP90 inhibitors. The production of HSP17.6C-CI, HSP70 and HSP90.1 proteins in Arabidopsis was enhanced by the addition of VER-155008. The reduction of chlorophyll contents by heat shock was ameliorated by VER-155008. Chaperone analyses indicated that VER-155008 inhibited the chaperone activities of wheat germ extract and human HSP70/HSP40, respectively. These results suggest that the inhibition of HSP70 by VER-155008 enhanced the heat tolerance of Arabidopsis by inducing the HSR in the plant.

Целью работы стало исследование содержания белка теплового шока 90 ( HSP 90) в фибробластах дермы человека от эмбрионального развития и до глубокой старости (от 20 нед беременности до 85 лет), а также определение значения HSP 90 для возрастных изменений численности фибробластов в дерме человека. HSP 90, ядерный антиген пролиферирующих клеток ( PCNA ) выявляли в срезах кожи непрямым иммуногистохимическим методом. Результаты показали, что в коже человека от 20 нед беременности до 20 лет доля фибробластов дермы с положительной окраской на HSP 90 остается постоянной. С 21 года до 60 лет наблюдают планомерное уменьшение доли фибробластов дермы, имеющих положительную окраску на HSP 90. У людей 61-85 лет происходит резкое увеличение доли фибробластов дермы с положительной окраской на HSP 90. Возрастные изменения содержания HSP 90 положительных фибробластов в дерме статистически не связаны с возрастным уменьшением общего количества и доли PCNA -положительных фибробластов в дерме. The aim of this work was to examine the content of heat shock protein 90 ( HSP 90) in fibroblasts of human dermis from the development until deep aging (from 20 weeks of pregnancy until 85 years old), and defining of a role of HSP 90 in age-dependent changes in the number of fibroblasts in the dermis. HSP 90, proliferating cells nuclear antigen ( PCNA ) were detected with indirect immunohistochemical technique. Results showed that a portion of fibroblasts with positive staining for HSP 90 in the dermis is not changed from 20 weeks of development to 20 years old. Percent of HSP 90 positive fibroblasts in dermis is decreased from 21 to 60 years old. From 61 year, the number of HSP 90 positive fibroblasts in dermis is increased. Age-related changes in the number of HSP 90 positive fibroblasts is not statistically associated with an age-related decrease in a total number and percent of PCNA positive fibroblasts the dermis.
