Theresults showed that transfection of pre-implantation embryos at 4-cell stage with 5 Mantisense oligo had no effect on in vitro blastocyst development. However, transfection with10 to 40 M antisense oligo had reduced in vitro blastocyst development to 15, 10% and 0; Forthe embryos which exposed to 40 M As arrested at the 16-cell stage, there was no blastocystformation within the heat shock groups. In contrast, transfection had no effect on embryonicsensitivity to heat shock, above 25% of embryos developed to blastocyst stage in controlgroups.展开更多

To explore the molecular mechanism of thermotolerance of Frankliniella occidentalis adults, the difference in the expression of HSP70s in F. occidentalis male or female adults under the thermal stress was studied under the laboratory conditions. Two full length c DNAs of HSP70s gene（Fohsc704 and Fohsc705） were cloned from F. occidentalis by using RT-PCR and RACE. The genomic sequence was demonstrated by genomic validation, and the position and size of the intron were analyzed by sequence analysis of c DNA. Real-time PCR was used to analyze the HSP70 expression patterns. The c DNA of Fohsc704 and Fohsc705 possessed 2 073 and 1 476 bp which encoded 690 and 491 amino acids（aa） with a calculated molecular weight of 75 and 54 k Da, respectively. Four introns in Fohsc704 and six introns in Fohsc705 protein were found. However, the HSP70 protein sequences in our study were ended with EKKN and GIFL, which were different from the reported Fo HSP70s. Various expression patterns of Fohsc704 and Fohsc705 were found in both genders of F. occidentalis under thermal stress. The expression of Fohsc704 and Fohsc705 reached to the highest level at –12 and –8°C in male adults, respectively, and Fohsc705 expressed the highest level at 33°C in female adults. In conclusion, HSP70s of F. occidentalis in our study are novel heat shock proteins. There were difference in expression patterns of the two hsc70s in genders of F. occidentalis, and the two HSP70s play important roles in the thermotolerance of F. occidentalis.展开更多

The 5’ flanking region of the gene contained a putative TATA box and a typical heat shock element sequence 5’-CTcgGAAccTTCgAG-3’. The amino acid sequence of the rice HSP70 deduced from the coding region shared 84%-92% homologies with those of HSP70s from other plant species. An intron 1939bp long was identified in the coding region at the codon specifying amino acid 72 (Asp), the similar position introns occurring in other intron-containing hsp70 genes. In addition, another intron of 57 bp was found in the 3’-untranslated region in the rice hsp70 gene. Southern blot hybridization showed that rice hsp70 gene family contained at least three members. Analysis of the RNA leveis with the gene-specific and non-specific probes revealed that the rice hsp70 gene expressed at normal temperature and the expression was enhanced by heat shock treatment.展开更多

But the protective effects may be contaminated by other factors in the same stress. This study was conducted to explore the protective role of HSP70 expression in acute myocardial anoxia/reoxygeneration （A/R） injury with a liposome-mediated gene transfer technique for the introduction of pCDNA HSP70 into the neonatal rat myocardial cells. In addition, heat shock stress cytoprotection was also investigated for comparison. Methods The cultured primary neonatal rat myocardiocytes with an acute myocardial A/R injury model and the HS-treated rat myocardiocyte model were used. Three-day cultured myocardiocytes were randomly divided into four groups （n=8）： control group, A/R group, HS＋A/R group and pCDNA HSP70 ＋A/R group. A liposome-coated HSP70 pCDNA plasmid was transfected into the primary neonatal rat myocardiocytes; HSP70 mRNA and its protein were confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and Western blotting. The cell viability was assayed by monotetrazolium （MTT） and the lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） and creatine phosphokinase （CPK） activity of cells during incubation and the changes in cells ultrastructure were examined. NF-κB activity in the primary neonatal rat myocardiocytes was measured with flow cytometry. Results Compared with viability in the A/R group （（35.4±6.9）%） the cell viability in the HS＋A/R group （（72.8±11.6）%） and the pCDNA HSP70 ＋ A/R group （（76.3±12.2）%） was improved significantly （P〈0.05）. The activity of LDH and CPK was significantly elevated in the A/R group. However, in the HS＋A/R group and pCDNA HSP70 ＋A/R group, significant decreases in activity were observed. The cell ultrastructure of the A/R group cells was abnormal, whereas nearly normal ultrastructure was observed in HS＋A/R group and pCDNA HSP70＋A/R group. HSP70 mRNA and protein were slightly expressed in the myocardiocytes of the A/R group. However, obvious overexpression was observed in the HS＋A/R group and in the pCDNA HSP70＋A/R group （P〈0.01）. And there was a significant difference between the HS＋A/R group and the pCDNA HSP70＋A/R group in the expression of HSP70 mRNA and protein （P〈0.01）. A high activity of NF-κB （5.76±0.64） was detected in the A/R group. But in the HS＋A/R group there was a statistically significant decrease in the activity of N F-KB compared with the A/R group （3.11±0.52 vs 5.76±0.64, P〈0.01 ）. The same statistically significant difference was also observed in the pCDNA HSP70 ＋ A/R group and A/R group （2.83±0.49 vs 5.76±0.64, P〈0.01 ）. Conclusions Overexpression of HSP70 alone by gene transfection leads to protection for cardiac myocyte against anoxia-reoxygeneration. These cardioprotective effects were related to the reduction in activation of NF-κB.展开更多

Interactions between parts of the genome located at large distances from each other have been detected within the chromosomes of different organisms, which led to the discovery of topologically associated domains (TADs). Methods that reveal such interactions between chromosomal loci imply detection of both protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. We investigated the possibility of involvement of the direct DNA-DNA interactions in the structural and functional organization of Drosophila melanogaster chromosomal 87A7 locus, containing genes hsp70Aa and hsp70Ab, with the sequence analysis method. Our results indicate that the functional organization of 87A7 locus may involve different elements: chromosomal DNA fragments that attach chromosomes to the nuclear envelope, short polypurine/polypyrimidine tracts, insulators and their proteins. The combination of interactions of these elements may cause different functional states of 87A7 locus.展开更多
