Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a large class of highly conserved chaperons, which play important roles in response to elevated temperature and other environmental stressors. In the present study, 5 genes and 17 genes were systematically characterized in spotted seabass (). The evolutionary footprint of genes was revealed via the analysis of phylogeny, chromosome location, and gene copy numbers. In addition, the gene structure features and the putative distribution of heat shock elements (HSEs) and hypoxia response elements (HREs) in the promoter regions were analyzed. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses results indicated the potential transcriptional regulation between the heat shock factor 1 () and and a wide range of interactions among . Furthermore, quantitative (q)PCR was performed to detect the expression profiles of and genes in gill, liver, and muscle tissues after heat stress, meanwhile, the expression patterns in gills under alkalinity and hypoxia stresses were determined by analyzing RNA-Seq datasets. Results showed that after heat stress, most of the examined genes were significantly upregulated in a tissue-specific and time-dependent manners, and , , and were the most intense responsive genes in all three tissues. In response to alkalinity stress, 11 out of 13 significantly regulated genes exhibited suppressed expression patterns. Alternatively, among the 12 hypoxia-responsive-expressed genes, 7 genes showed induced expressions, while , , and had more significant upregulated changes after hypoxic challenge. Our findings provide the essential basis for further functional studies of genes in response to abiotic stresses in spotted seabass.

HSF1 at the crossroads of chemoresistance: from current insights to future horizons in cell death mechanisms.

Front Cell Dev Biol

January 2025

Department of Cell and Cancer Biology, College of Medicine and Life Sciences, The University of Toledo, Toledo, OH, United States.

Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is a major transcriptional factor regulating the heat shock response and has become a potential target for overcoming cancer chemoresistance. This review comprehensively examines HSF1's role in chemoresistance and its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer. We explore the complex, intricate mechanism that regulates the activation of HSF1, HSF1's function in promoting resistance to chemotherapy, and the strategies used to manipulate HSF1 for therapeutic benefit.

The prognostic value of negative regulators of ferroptosis in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) has not yet been fully elucidated. The present study performed a systematic identification and selection of candidate negative regulators of ferroptosis using The Cancer Genome Atlas data cohort (n=367), followed by clinical validation through immunohistochemistry of samples from patients with CRC (n=166) and further evaluation. analysis identified specific light-chain subunit of the cystine/glutamate antiporter, AIFM2, NFE2L2, FTH1, GLS2, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and heat shock protein β-1 (HSPB1) genes as possible candidates.

Objective: The Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) family is a highly conserved group of molecular chaperones essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. These proteins are necessary for protein folding, assembly, and degradation and involve cell recovery from stress conditions. HSP70 proteins are upregulated in response to heat shock, oxidative stress, and pathogenic infections.

Objectives: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to disrupt testicular anti-oxidant capacity, leading to oxidative stress (OS) that can negatively affect male fertility by damaging sperm DNA. Heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90), in association with transitional proteins (TP1 and TP2), play crucial roles in protecting sperm DNA integrity in oxidative conditions. Whiteleg shrimp protein hydrolysates (HPs) exhibit anti-oxidant properties, prompting this study to explore the potential of HPs in ameliorating NAFLD-induced testicular damage.
