As our group has shown, the NO-synthase inhibitor L-NNA decreased 2-3 times heat shock-induced synthesis of the heat shock protein HSP70 (FEBS Lett. 370 (1995) 159-162). It was suggested that NO is involved in such induction. In the present study, it was found that (1) injection of the NO donor dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) into rats results in accumulation of HSP70 in the heart; (2) heat shock is accompanied by increased generation of NO (EPR assay) and HSP70 accumulation in cultured cells; (3) DNIC induces HSP70 accumulation in cultured cells not exposed to heat shock.

Improving the understanding of how chemicals affect on organisms and assessing the associated environmental risks is of major interest in environmental studies. This can be achieved by using complementary approaches based on the study of the molecular responses of organisms. Because of the known chemical pressures on the environment, regulations on the content of some chemicals, such as cadmium, have been mostly completed.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic disease initiated by vascular endothelial dysfunction, with low shear stress (SS) being a critical inducing factor in this dysfunction. Apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is closely associated with AS progression. However, the impact of low SS on endothelial apoptosis and its specific molecular mechanisms remains unclear.

Background: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are adaptive mechanisms for conditions of high protein demand, marked by an accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Rheumatic autoimmune diseases (RAD) are known to be associated with chronic inflammation and an ERS state. However, the activation of UPR signaling pathways is not completely understood in Sjögren's disease (SD).

Stress protein HSP70 administered exogenously has demonstrated high potential as an efficient adjuvant in antitumor immune response. To enhance the antigen-presenting activity, bioavailability, and stability of exogenous recombinant human HSP70, we propose incorporating it into plant extracellular vesicles. Earlier, we found that grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles (GEV) were able to store the protein with no loss of its major function, chaperone activity.

Hotspots for Disease-Causing Mutations in the Mitochondrial TIM23 Import Complex.

The human mitochondrial proteome comprises approximately 1500 proteins, with only 13 being encoded by mitochondrial DNA. The remainder are encoded by the nuclear genome, translated by cytosolic ribosomes, and subsequently imported into and sorted within mitochondria. The process of mitochondria-destined protein import is mediated by several intricate protein complexes distributed among the four mitochondrial compartments.
