Circulating level of heat shock protein 27 is elevated in dogs with mammary tumors.

ABSTRACT: In the current study, we have synthesized canine recombinant Hsp27 in E. coli and raised hyperimmune serum against the protein in mice. Using the hyperimmune serum, an indirect ELISA was developed to estimate circulating levels of Hsp27 in dogs with various types of mammary neoplasia and to compare their levels with those of tumor-free apparently healthy dogs. The developed assay had a high specificity (83.3%) and sensitivity (96.6%) for a cut-off value of 0.45 with respect to histopathological examination in discriminating healthy dogs from those bearing mammary tumors. Serum Hsp27 levels were found to be significantly elevated in tumor subjects (20.33?±?1.23 ng/ml) as compared to healthy controls (6.56?±?0.51 ng/ml) and the increase in the Hsp27 levels was irrespective of mammary tumor histotypes. However, dogs with grade-II tumors had higher Hsp27 levels as compared to grade-I types. Therefore, Hsp27 can be exploited as one of the 'neoplastic signatures' of canine mammary tumors.

Inhibition of heat shock induction of heat shock protein 70 and enhancement of heat shock protein 27 phosphorylation by quercetin derivatives.

Project description:Inhibitors of heat-induced heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression have the potential to enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of heat-induced radiosensitization of tumors. Among known small molecule inhibitors, quercetin has the advantage of being easily modified for structure-activity studies. Herein, we report the ability of five monomethyl and five carbomethoxymethyl derivatives of quercetin to inhibit heat-induced HSP70 expression and enhance HSP27 phosphorylation in human cells. While quercetin and several derivatives inhibit HSP70 induction and enhance HSP27 phosphorylation at Ser78, other analogues selectively inhibit HSP70 induction without enhancing HSP27 phosphorylation that would otherwise aid in cell survival. We also show that good inhibitors of HSP70 induction are also good inhibitors of both CK2 and CamKII, kinases that are known to activate HSP70 expression by phosphorylation of heat shock transcription factor 1. Derivatives that show poor inhibition of either or both kinases are not good inhibitors of HSP70 induction, suggesting that quercetin's effectiveness is due to its ability to inhibit both kinases.

Heat shock protein 27 mediated signaling in viral infection.

Project description:Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a critical role in many intracellular processes, including apoptosis and delivery of other proteins to intracellular compartments. Small HSPs have been shown previously to participate in many cellular functions, including IL-8 induction. Human adenovirus infection activates intracellular signaling, involving particularly the c-Src and mitogen-activated protein kinases [Natarajan, K., et al. (2003) J. Immunol. 170, 6234-6243]. HSP27 and MK2 are also phosphorylated, and c-Src, and its downstream targets, p38, ERK1/2, and c-Jun-terminal kinase (JNK), differentially mediate IL-8 and MCP-1 expression. Specifically, activation and translocation of transcription factor NFκB-p65 occurs in a p38-dependent fashion [Rajaiya, J., et al. (2009) Mol. Vision 15, 2879-2889]. Herein, we report a novel role for HSP27 in an association of p38 with NFκB-p65. Immunoprecipitation assays of virus-infected but not mock-infected cells revealed a signaling complex including p38 and NFκB-p65. Transfection with HSP27 short interfering RNA (siRNA) but not scrambled RNA disrupted this association and reduced the level of IL-8 expression. Transfection with HSP27 siRNA also reduced the level of nuclear localization of NFκB-p65 and p38. By use of tagged p38 mutants, we found that amino acids 279-347 of p38 are necessary for the association of p38 with NFκB-p65. These studies strongly suggest that HSP27, p38, and NFκB-p65 form a signalosome in virus-infected cells and influence downstream expression of pro-inflammatory mediators.

Heat shock protein 72 supports extracellular matrix production in metastatic mammary tumors

Project description:This study identified tumorigenic processes most dependent on murine HSP72 in the MMTV-PyMT mammary tumor model, which give rise to spontaneous mammary tumors that exhibit HSP72-dependent metastasis to the lung. RNA-seq expression profiling of Hspa1a/Hspa1b (Hsp72) WT and Hsp72 -/- primary mammary tumors discovered significantly lower expression of genes encoding components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in Hsp72 knockout mammary tumors compared to WT controls. In vitro studies found that genetic or chemical inhibition of HSP72 activity in cultured collagen-expressing human or murine cells also reduces mRNA and protein levels of COL1A1 and several other ECM-encoding genes. In search of a possible mechanistic basis for this relationship, we found HSP72 to support the activation of the TGF-β – SMAD3 signaling pathway and evidence of SMAD3 and HSP72 co-precipitation, suggesting potential complex formation. Human COL1A1 mRNA expression was found to have prognostic value for HER2+ breast tumors over other breast cancer subtypes, suggesting a possible human disease context where targeting HSP72 may have a therapeutic rationale. Analysis of human HER2+ breast tumor gene expression data using a gene set comprising ECM and protein folding-related genes as an input to the statistical learning algorithm, Galgo, found a subset of these genes that can collectively stratify patients by relapse-free survival, further suggesting a potential interplay between ECM and protein-folding genes may contribute to tumor progression.

Circulating heat shock protein 60 levels are elevated in HIV patients and are reduced by anti-retroviral therapy.

Project description:Circulating heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) and heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) have been associated with pro- and anti-inflammatory activity, respectively. To determine whether these heat shock proteins might be associated with the immune activation seen in HIV-infected patients, the plasma levels of Hsp60 and Hsp10 were determined in a cohort of 20 HIV-infected patients before and after effective combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART). We show for the first time that circulating Hsp60 levels are elevated in HIV-infected patients, with levels significantly reduced after cART, but still higher than those in HIV-negative individuals. Hsp60 levels correlated significantly with viral load, CD4 counts, and circulating soluble CD14 and lipopolysaccharide levels. No differences or correlations were seen for Hsp10 levels. Elevated circulating Hsp60 may contribute to the immune dysfunction and non-AIDS clinical events seen in HIV-infected patients.

Overexpression of heat shock protein 27 reduces cortical damage after cerebral ischemia.

Project description:Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) has a major role in mediating survival responses to a range of central nervous system insults, functioning as a protein chaperone, an antioxidant, and through inhibition of cell death pathways. We have used transgenic mice overexpressing HSP27 (HSP27tg) to examine the role of HSP27 in cerebral ischemia, using model of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Infarct size was evaluated using multislice T(2)-weighted anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after 24 h. A significant reduction of 30% in infarct size was detected in HSP27tg animals compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. To gain some insight into the mechanisms contributing to cell death and its attenuation by HSP27, we monitored the effect of induction of c-jun and ATF3 on tissue survival in MCAO and their effects on the expression of endogenous mouse HSP25 and HSP70. It is important that, the c-jun induction seen at 4 h tended to be localized to regions that were salvageable in HSP27tg mice but became infarcted in WT animals. Our results provide support for the powerful neuroprotective effects of HSP27 in cerebral ischemia.

Heat Shock Protein 27 Phosphorylation Regulates Tumor Cell Migration under Shear Stress.

Project description:Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is a multifunctional protein that undergoes significant changes in its expression and phosphorylation in response to shear stress stimuli, suggesting that it may be involved in mechanotransduction. However, the mechanism of HSP27 affecting tumor cell migration under shear stress is still not clear. In this study, HSP27-enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP) and HSP27-Ypet plasmids are constructed to visualize the self-polymerization of HSP27 in living cells based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer technology. The results show that shear stress induces polar distribution of HSP27 to regulate the dynamic structure at the cell leading edge. Shear stress also promotes HSP27 depolymerization to small molecules and then regulates polar actin accumulation and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) polar activation, which further promotes tumor cell migration. This study suggests that HSP27 plays an important role in the regulation of shear stress-induced HeLa cell migration, and it also provides a theoretical basis for HSP27 as a potential drug target for metastasis.

Systemic release of heat-shock protein 27 and 70 following severe trauma.

Project description:Trauma represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The endogenous inflammatory response to trauma remains not fully elucidated. Pro-inflammation in the early phase is followed by immunosuppression leading to infections, multi-organ failure and mortality. Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) act as intracellular chaperons but exert also extracellular functions. However, their role in acute trauma remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum concentrations of HSP 27 and HSP 70 in severely injured patients. We included severely injured patients with an injury severity score of at least 16 and measured serum concentration of both markers at admission and on day two. We found significantly increased serum concentrations of both HSP 27 and HSP 70 in severely injured patients. Concomitant thoracic trauma lead to a further increase of both HSPs. Also, elevated concentrations of HSP 27 and HSP 70 were associated with poor outcome in these patients. Standard laboratory parameters did not correlate with neither HSP 27, nor with HSP 70. Our findings demonstrate involvement of systemic release of HSP 27 and HSP 70 after severe trauma and their potential as biomarker in polytraumatized patients.

Heat shock protein 27 regulates human prostate cancer cell motility and metastatic progression.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common form of cancer in American men. Mortality from PCa is caused by the movement of cancer cells from the primary organ to form metastatic tumors at distant sites. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is known to increase human PCa cell invasion and its overexpression is associated with metastatic disease. The role of HSP27 in driving PCa cell movement from the prostate to distant metastatic sites is unknown. Increased HSP27 expression increased metastasis as well as primary tumor mass. In vitro studies further examined the mechanism of HSP27-induced metastatic behavior. HSP27 did not affect cell detachment, adhesion, or migration, but did increase cell invasion. Cell invasion was dependent upon matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), whose expression was increased by HSP27. In vivo, HSP27 induced commensurate changes in MMP-2 expression in tumors. These findings demonstrate that HSP27 drives metastatic spread of cancer cells from the prostate to distant sites, does so across a continuum of expression levels, and identifies HSP27-driven increases in MMP-2 expression as functionally relevant. These findings add to prior studies demonstrating that HSP27 increases PCa cell motility, growth and survival. Together, they demonstrate that HSP27 plays an important role in PCa progression.

Clinical, prognostic, and therapeutic significance of heat shock protein 27 in bladder cancer.

Project description:Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is highly expressed in many cancers, and its prognostic and predictive value has been reported. HSP27 knockdown using siRNA or OGX-427 (an anti-sense oligonucleotide sequence targeting HSP27) is reported to have anti-cancer effects and to enhance chemosensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. However, conflicting results have been reported regarding the clinical significance of HSP27 in bladder cancer (BC). Furthermore, long-term suppression of HSP27 has not been investigated in BC. In this study, we investigated the association between HSP27 expression and BC characteristics in 132 BC patient samples, as well as its prognostic value to determine the potential of HSP27 as a clinical biomarker. Additionally, we applied five different shRNAs targeting HSP27 in three invasive BC cell lines to analyze the long-term knockdown effects of HSP27. Our study revealed a significant association between HSP27 expression and adverse pathological characteristics such as high-stage and -grade BC. However, HSP27 expression was not associated with clinical outcomes such as tumor recurrence, progression, and patient survival. Interestingly, although our shRNAs had obvious knockdown effects on HSP27 in BC cells, we did not find consistent effects on apoptosis of BC cells or chemotherapeutic sensitivity of BC cells to cisplatin. Therefore, although HSP27 may be a predictor of adverse pathological characteristics in BC, its role as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target seems to be limited.

Heat shock protein-27 delays acute rejection after cardiac transplantation: an experimental model.

Project description:BackgroundRejection is the major obstacle to survival after cardiac transplantation. We investigated whether overexpression of heat shock protein (Hsp)-27 in mouse hearts protects against acute rejection and the mechanisms of such protection.MethodsHearts from B10.A mice overexpressing human Hsp-27 (Hsp-27tg), or Hsp-27-negative hearts from littermate controls (LCs) were transplanted into allogeneic C57BL/6 mice. The immune response to B10.A hearts was investigated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction for CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and CD14+ monocytes and cytokines (interferon-?, interleukin [IL]-2, tumor necrosis factor-?, IL-1?, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, transforming growth factor-?) in allografts at days 2, 5, and 12 after transplantation. The effect of Hsp-27 on ischemia-induced caspase activation and immune activation was investigated.ResultsSurvival of Hsp-27tg hearts (35±10.37 days, n=10) was significantly prolonged compared with LCs (13.6±3.06 days, n=10, P=0.0004). Hsp-27tg hearts expressed significantly more messenger RNA (mRNA) markers of CD14+ monocytes at day 2 and less mRNA markers of CD3+ and CD8+T cells at day 5 compared with LCs. There was more IL-4 mRNA in Hsp-27tg hearts at day 2 and less interferon-? mRNA at day 5 compared with LCs. Heat shock protein-27tg hearts subjected to ischemia or to 24 hr ischemia-reperfusion injury demonstrated significantly less apoptosis and activation of caspases 3, 9, and 1 than LCs. T cells removed from C57BL/6 recipients of Hsp-27tg hearts produced a vigorous memory response to B10.A antigens, suggesting immune activation was not inhibited by Hsp-27.ConclusionHeat shock protein-27 delays allograft rejection, by inhibiting tissue damage, through probably an antiapoptotic pathway. It may also promote an anti-inflammatory subset of monocytes.
