To gain an insight into the function of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in insects during thermal stress, three HSP cDNAs were identified in the transcriptome of adult Heortia vitessoides, one of the most destructive defoliating pests in Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprenger forests. The open reading frames of HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 were 1,719, 2,070, and 2,151 bp in length, respectively, and encoded proteins with molecular weights of 61.05, 75.02, and 82.23 kDa, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed that all three HSPs were highly conserved in structure. Regarding the stage-specific expression profiles, HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 mRNAs were detected in all developmental stages. Regarding the tissue-specific expression profiles, the expression levels of the three HSP genes were different in various larval and adult tissues. Moreover, the expression patterns of heat-stressed larvae, pupae, and adults indicated that HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 were heat-inducible. In particular, HvHsp60 transcripts increased dramatically in larvae and pupae that were heat-stressed at $40^{\circ}C$ and were upregulated in adults that were heat-stressed at $35^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The expression of HvHsp70 significantly increased in all of the three different developmental stages at $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$. The expression of HvHsp90 obviously increased at $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, and $40^{\circ}C$ in larvae and could be induced at $35^{\circ}C$ in pupae and adults. The results suggest that HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 play a major role in protecting H. vitessoides against high-temperature stress.

성장하는 증거는 소포체 (ER) 스트레스의 매개 세포 사멸이 알츠하이머병을 포함한 신경 퇴행성 질환의 병리학적 발달에 중요한 역할을 한다. 로디올라 사크라(ERS)의 에탄올 추출물은 ER 스트레스 유도제인 호모시스테인(Hcy)세포 사멸과 ER 스트레스의 신경 neuro -2A 세포를 보호할 수 있는지를 조사한다. 뉴런 세포에서 Hcy는 MTT 분석에 의해 확인된 바와 같이 세포 생존 가능성은 현저히 감소시켰고, Annexin V 양성 세포의 사멸을 유도했다. ERS로 전처리한 Hcy세포 생존력 및 세포 사멸 손실은 약화되었으며, Hcy는 C/EBP 상 동성 단백질과 78-kDa 포도당 조절 단백질의 발현 및 X-box 결합 단백질 -1 (xbp1) mRNA의 접합에 스트레스를 유도했다. ESR은 Hcy에 의해 유도된 xbp-1 mRNA 접합, GRP78 및 CHOP 세포를 감소시켜 Hcy-induced ER 스트레스 및 세포 사멸에 대한 보호를 나타내며, Western blotting 분석에 heme oxygenase-1의 발현 및 HO-1 효소 활성 억제는 hemin에 의한 세포 사멸을 감소시키는 등 신경 퇴행성 질환에 치료적 가치를 보여준다.
