Stress resistance mechanisms include upregulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and formation of granules. Stress-induced granules are classified into stress granules and nuclear stress bodies (nSBs). The present study examined the involvement of nSB formation in thermal resistance. We used chemical compounds that inhibit heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) and scaffold attachment factor B (SAFB) granule formation and determined their effect on granule formation and HSP expression in HeLa cells. We found that formation of HSF1 and SAFB granules was inhibited by 2,5-hexanediol. We also found that suppression of HSF1 and SAFB granule formation enhanced heat stress-induced apoptosis. In addition, the upregulation of HSP27 and HSP70 during heat stress recovery was suppressed by 2,5-hexanediol. Our results suggested that the formation of HSF1 and SAFB granules was likely to be involved in the upregulation of HSP27 and HSP70 during heat stress recovery. Thus, the formation of HSF1 and SAFB granules was involved in thermal resistance.

Abstract Background Maize is one of the important cereal food crops in the world. High temperature stress causes adverse influence on plant growth. When plants are exposed to high temperatures, they produce heat shock proteins (HSPs), which may impart a generalized role in tolerance to heat stress. Proteome analysis was performed in plant to assess the changes in protein types and their expression levels under abiotic stress. The purpose of the study is to explore which proteins are involved in the response of the maize plant to heat shock treatment. Results We investigated the responses of abundant proteins of maize leaves, in an Egyptian inbred line of maize “K1”, upon heat stress through two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) on samples of maize leaf proteome. 2-DE technique was used to recognize heat-responsive protein spots using Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and silver staining. In 2-D analysis of proteins from plants treated at 45 °C for 2 h, the results manifested 59 protein spots (4.3%) which were reproducibly detected as new spots where did not present in the control. In 2D for treated plants for 4 h, 104 protein spots (7.7%) were expressed only under heat stress. Quantification of spot intensities derived from heat treatment showed that twenty protein spots revealed clear differences between the control and the two heat treatments. Nine spots appeared with more intensity after heat treatments than the control, while four spots appeared only after heat treatments. Five spots were clearly induced after heat treatment either at 2 h or 4 h and were chosen for more analysis by LC-MSMS. They were identified as ATPase beta subunit, HSP26, HSP16.9, and unknown HSP/Chaperonin. Conclusion The results revealed that the expressive level of the four heat shock proteins that were detected in this study plays important roles to avoid heat stress in maize plants.

Urea, with NaCl, constitutes the osmotic gradient that allows water reabsorption in mammalian kidneys. Because NaCl induces heat shock proteins, we tested the responses to heat shock of mIMCD3 cells adapted to permissive urea and/or NaCl concentrations. We found that heat-induced cell death was stronger after adaptation to 250 mM urea. This effect was reversible, dose dependent, and, interestingly, blunted by 125 mM NaCl. Moreover, we have shown that urea-adapted cells engaged in an apoptotic pathway upon heat shock, as shown by DNA laddering. This sensitization is not linked to a defect in the heat shock response, because the induction of HSP70 was similar in isotonic and urea-adapted cells. Moreover, it is not linked to the presence of urea inside cells, because washing urea away did not restore heat resistance and because applying urea and heat shock at the same time did not lead to heat sensitivity. Together, these results suggest that urea modifies the heat shock response, leading to facilitated apoptosis.

Immunohistochemical methods were applied in the present study to investigate the expression of stress proteins such as metallothioneins (MT), which are metal-binding proteins, and heat shock proteins (Hsp70), as well as an antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase, SOD), in the freshwater crustacean copepod Hemidiaptomus roubaui (Richard, 1888) exposed to cadmium or heat stress. The results show a tissue-specific distribution of MT-like protein after cadmium exposure in the brain and in the nerve cord. Cadmium stress did not provoke inducible Hsp70 or SOD expression. Unlike cadmium, heat stress induced the expression of Hsp70 and SOD in the shell glands, a structure involved in the reproductive function, and more particularly in the formation of the diapause egg envelope. MT expression is not induced in animals exposed to heat stress.

Background/Aims: Heat stress could cause huge losses for Lentinula edodes in China and other Asian cultivation areas. Yet our understanding of mechanism how to defend to heat stress is incomplete. Methods: Using heat-tolerant and heat-sensitive strains of L. edodes, we reported a combined proteome and transcriptome analysis of L. edodes response to 40 °C heat stress for 24 h. Meanwhile, the effect of LeDnaJ on the thermotolerance and IAA (indoleacetic acid) biosynthesis in L. edodes was analyzed via the over-expression method. Results: The proteome results revealed that HSPs (heat shock proteins) such as Hsp40 (DnaJ), Hsp70, Hsp90 and key enzymes involved in tryptophan and IAA metabolism process LeTrpE, LeTrpD, LeTam-1, LeYUCCA were more highly expressed in S606 than in YS3357, demonstrating that HSPs and tryptophan as well as IAA metabolism pathway should play an important role in thermotolerance. Over-expression of LeDnaJ gene in S606 strains showed better tolerance to heat stress. It was also documented that intracellular IAA accumulation of S606 (8-fold up) was more than YS3357 (2-fold up), and exogenous IAA enhanced L. edodes tolerance to heat stress. Conclusion: Our data support the interest of LeTrpE, LeDnaJ, tryptophan and IAA could play a pivotal role in enhancing organism thermotolerance.
