Abstract:
:Stress-induced regulation of the 72 kD heat shock protein (HSP 72), the major stress inducible protein in mammalian cells, is mediated by the activation and binding of a heat shock transcription factor (HSF) to a specific sequence in the 5' region of the promoter termed the heat shock element (HSE). In agreement with this regulation, HSP 72 is absent in most cells under unstressed conditions but is rapidly synthesized following exposure to protein damaging stressors. An exception is the skeletal muscle, where HSP 72 is constitutively expressed in muscles that express the beta myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) protein. Since beta-MHC is also expressed in the ventricles of large mammals, we have examined if HSP 72 was also constitutively expressed in beta-MHC positive hearts. Chambers of the heart muscle from Yorkshire swine were examined for alpha-MHC, beta-MHC and HSP 72 content. HSF:HSE activation was also assessed by gel shift analyses. In the swine heart, atria and ventricles differed in their alpha-MHC and beta-MHC protein content but all expressed a high HSP 72 content. Gel shift analyses demonstrated no HSF:HSE binding in extracts from unstressed swine hearts. These results indicate that HSP 72 is constitutively expressed in all portions of the swine heart and this expression may not be dependent on an HSF:HSE interaction.
