Heat shock protein (HSP)은 외부적인 자극에 반응하여 세포를 보호하는 역할을 한다. 또한 HSP90은 혈관질환에서 처럼 세포가 사멸되거나 손상을 입는 경우 세포 밖으로 유리된다. 그러나 지금까지 세포 밖 HSP90이 혈관평활근세포에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 대한 연구는 미약하다. 따라서 본 연구는 혈관평활근세포에서 HSP90이 CXCL10 발현에 대한 영향과 그 기전을 규명하였다. HSP90에 노출된 혈관평활근세포에서 CXCL10 transcript가 증가하고, CXCL10 단백질의 분비가 증가되었다. HSP90에 의한 CXCL10 분비는 Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2/-4 억제제인 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonosyl-sn-phosphatidylcholine (OxPAPC)과 NADPH oxidase 억제제인 diphenyleneiodium 그리고 Akt 경로를 억제하는 LY294002와 Akti IV에 의하여 크게 감소되었다. 또한 TLR-4의 dimerization을 저해하는 curcumin 역시 HSP90에 의한 CXCL10의 분비를 억제하였다. 전사인자인 nuclear factor kappa B(NF-${\kappa}$B)의 생물학적 억제제인 inhibitory kappa B (I${\kappa}$B)와 NF-${\kappa}$B 억제작용이 있는 rasveratrol은 HSP90에 의한 CXCL10 분비를 억제하였다. 이러한 결과는 혈관평활근세포에서 HSP90에 의한 CXCL10의 발현에 TLR-4와 Akt 및 NF-${\kappa}$B가 관여함을 의미한다.

본 연구는 17-DMAG이 골격근에서 autophagy에 관여하는 가를 조사하기 위해, C2C12세포와 마우스 골격근에서 17-DMAG (Hsp90 억제제/Hsp72 활성제)을 처치하는 그룹과 autophagy 억제제(Bafilomycin 또는 colchicine)를 처치하는 그룹과 처치하지 않는 그룹을 동시에 두고 autophagy flux를 측정하였다. C2C12 배양세포에서 17-DMAG이 Hsp90 억제/hsp72 활성화시켰으며 Akt-mTOR 신호체계를 유의하게 감소시켰지만(p<0.05) autophagy marker 단백질인 LC3 II와 p62를 증가시키지 않았다. in vivo 모델의 경우 17-DMAG 처치가 배양세포에서 발견된 것처럼 Hsp90억제/hsp72를 활성화시켰고 Akt-mTOR 신호체계를 유의하게 감소시켰다(p<0.05). 반면 LC3 II와 p62 단백질 수준은 autophagy 억제제(colchicine) 처치 수준보다 더 높게 증가되었다. 이는 17-DMAG이 골격근에서 autophagy를 증가시키지만 C2C12 배양세포에서는 autophagy의 활성화가 제한적임을 암시한다. 현재 이러한 in vitro와 in vivo 모델에서의 차이는 불분명하다.

A FRET-based high-throughput screening system was developed for the discovery of competitive smallmolecule Hsp90 inhibitors. The biarsenical fluorescein derivative FlAsH and dabcyl-conjugated Hsp90 inhibitor GM were employed as the FRET donor and quencher, respectively. The spatial proximity perturbation between FlAsH-labeled Hsp90N and GM-dabcyl upon treatment of a small molecule led to changes in the FRET-induced fluorescence, monitored in a high-throughput fashion.

Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are one of the major causes of common cold in humans and are also associated with acute asthma and bronchial illness. Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a molecular chaperone, is an important host factor for the replication of single-strand RNA viruses. In the current study, we examined the effect of the Hsp90 inhibitor pochonin D, in vitro and in vivo, using a murine model of human rhinovirus type 1B (HRV1B) infection. Our data suggested that Hsp90 inhibition significantly reduced the inflammatory cytokine production and lung damage caused by HRV1B infection. The viral titer was significantly lowered in HRV1B-infected lungs and in Hela cells upon treatment with pochonin D. Infiltration of innate immune cells including granulocytes and monocytes was also reduced in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) by pochonin D treatment after HRV1B infection. Histological analysis of the lung and respiratory tract showed that pochonin D protected the mice from HRV1B infection. Collectively, our results suggest that the Hsp90 inhibitor, pochonin D, could be an attractive antiviral therapeutic for treating HRV infection.

Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) apoptosis induced by hypoxia compromise intestinal epithelium barrier function. Both Akt and Hsp90 have cytoprotective function. However, the specific role of Akt and $Hsp90{\beta}$ in IEC apoptosis induced by hypoxia has not been explored. We confirmed that hypoxia-induced apoptosis was reduced by $Hsp90{\beta}$ overexpression but enhanced by decreasing $Hsp90{\beta}$ expression. $Hsp90{\beta}$ overexpression enhanced BAD phosphorylation and thus reduced mitochondrial release of cytochrome C. Reducing $Hsp90{\beta}$ expression had opposite effects. The protective effect of $Hsp90{\beta}$ against apoptosis was negated by LY294002, an Akt inhibitor. Further study showed that Akt phosphorylation was enhanced by $Hsp90{\beta}$, which was not due to the activation of upstream PI3K and PDK1 but because of stabilization of pAkt via direct interaction between $Hsp90{\beta}$ and pAkt. These results demonstrate that $Hsp90{\beta}$ may play a significant role in protecting IECs from hypoxia-induced apoptosis via stabilizing pAkt to phosphorylate BAD and reduce cytochrome C release.

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is ATPase-directed molecular chaperon and affects survival of cancer cell. Inhibitory effect of Hsp90 by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in the cancer cell was reported. However, its role during oocyte maturation and early embryo development is very insufficient. In this study, we traced the effects of Hsp90 inhibitor, 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), on meiotic maturation and early embryonic development in pigs. We also investigated several indicators of developmental potential, including structural integrity, gene expression (Hsp90-, cell cycle-, and apoptosis-related genes), and apoptosis, which are affected by 17-AAG. Then, we examined the roles of Hsp90 inhibitor on viability of primary cells in pigs. Porcine oocytes were cultured in the NCSU-23 medium with or without 17-AAG for 44 h. The proportion of GV arrested oocytes was significantly different between the 17-AAG treated and untreated group (78.2 vs 34.8%, p<0.05). After completion of meiotic maturation, the proportion of MII oocytes was lower in the 17-AAG treated group than in the control group (27.9 vs 71.0%, p<0.05). After IVF, the percentage of penetrated oocytes was significantly lower in the 17-AAG treated group (25.2%), resulting in lower normal pronucleus formation (2PN of 14.6%). Therefore, the inhibition of meiotic progression by Hsp90 inhibitor played a critical role in fertilization status. Porcine embryo were cultured in the PZM-3 medium with or without 17-AAG for 6 days. In result, significant differences in developmental potential were detected between the embryos that were cultured with or without 17-AAG. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) showed that the number of containing fragmented DNA at the blastocyst stage increased in the 17-AAG treated group compared with control (7.5 vs 4.4, respectively). Blastocysts that developed in the 17-AAG treated group had low structural integrity and high apoptotic nuclei than those of the untreated control, resulting in decrease the embryonic qualities of preimplantation porcine blastocysts. The mRNA expressions of cell cycle-related genes were down-regulated in the 17-AAG treated group compared with control. Also, the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bax increased in 17-AAG treated group, whereas expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bel-XL decreased. However, the expression of ER stress-related genes did not changed by 17-AAG. Cultured pESF cells were treated with or without 17-AAG and used for MIT assay. The results showed that viability of pESF cells were decreased by treatment of 17-AAG ($2{\mu}M$) for 24 hr. These results indicated that 17-AAG decreased cell proliferation and increased cell death. Expression patterns Hsp90 complex genes (Hsp70 and p23), cell cycle-related genes (cdc2 and cdc25c) and apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl-XL) were significantly changed by using RT-PCR analysis. The spliced form of pXbp-1 product (pXbp-1s) was detected in the tunicamycin (TM) treated cells, but it is not detected in 17-AAG treated cells. In conclusion, Hsp90 appears to play a direct role in porcine early embryo developmental competence including structural integrity of blastocysts. Also, these results indicate that Hsp90 is closely associated with cell cycle- and apoptosis-related genes expression in developing porcine embryos.

오토파지(Autophagy, 자가포식)는 복합적인 신호과정으로, 암세포의 증식 억제 및 항암제에 대한 내성 획득의 상반적인 조절에도 관여한다. 오토파지의 암 억제 효과는 아팝토시스(apoptosis)와 상호협력으로 오토파지성세포 사멸의 유도에 기인된다. 본 연구에서는 NSAID 계열의 다기능 약물인 celecoxib (CCB)이 아팝토시스 및 오토파지의 복합적인 유도로, 항암제 다제내성(multidrug resistant, MDR) 암세포의 Hsp90 molecular chaperone inhibitor인 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG)에 대한 감수성을 증가시키는 활성이 있음을 밝혔다. 17-AAG 처리에 의한 항암제 다제내성 암세포의 변이형p53 분해 및 caspase-3 활성은 CCB 처리로 촉진되었다. MCF7-MDR세포에서 Z-DEVD-FMK 처리에 의한 caspase-3-매개의 아팝토시스 경로 차단은 CCB 유도의 세포 사멸을 완전히 차단시키지 못함을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 17-AAG과 CCB 병합 처리에 의한 오토파지 활성화는 Z-DEVD-FMK에 의해 방해되지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로, CCB의 오토파지 유도 활성은 항암제 다제내성 암의 Hsp90 inhibitor에 대한 감수성 증가를 위한 약물 개발에, CCB가 효과적인 병용 약물로서 제안 될 수 있다.

We examined the expression patterns of heat shock proteins in primary cultured hepatocytes from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) exposed to heat shock. The expression of hsp90, hsp70, hsp40, hsp30, and hsp27 was induced and major polypeptides were hsp70, hsp30 and hsp27. Northern blot analysis showed that expression of hsp70 was inhibited by transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D, suggesting that expression of hsp70 gene is regulated at the transcriptional level. Prolonged exposure of cells to an elevated incubation temperature $(30^{\circ}C)$ induced the transient synthesis of hsp90, hsp70, hsp40, and hsp30 whereas maintenance of cells at a slightly higher incubation temperature $(32^{\circ}C)$ induced the continuous syntheses of these hsps. When cells were incubated at a higher temperatures $(35^{\circ}C\;or\;37^{\circ}C)$, the synthesis of hsps was almost similar to that of hsps in cells exposed to 32't except for the induction of hsp27 synthesis. These results that temperature and incubation time for optimum expression of each hsp during prolonged heat shock are different.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) possesses a higher rate of distant recurrence and a poorer prognosis than other breast cancer subtypes. Interestingly, most of the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) client proteins are oncoproteins, and some are closely related to unfavorable factors of TNBC patients. 17-Demethoxy-reblastatin (17-DR), a novel non-benzoquinone-type geldanamycin analog, exhibited potent Hsp90 ATPase inhibition activity. In this study, the anticancer effects of 17-DR on TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells were investigated. These results showed that 17-DR inhibited cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and suppressed cell invasion and migration in the MDA-MB-231 cells. Down-regulation of the key Hsp90-dependent tumor-driving molecules, such as RIP1 and MMP-9, by 17-DR may be related to these effects. Taken together, our results suggest that 17-DR has potential as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of TNBC.
