Figure 1. <t>HSP27</t> proteolysis by plasmin in vitro and ex vivo. A, Recombinant HSP27 was incubated with 125 <t>nmol</t> plasmin for increas- ing periods of time (15 to 60 minutes) with or without inhibitors (VFK and aprotinin). B, Incubation of mammary endartery-released HSP27 with plasmin (125 mmol/L) for 18 hours led to its degradation and aggregation in the conditioned medium, and this effect is pre- vented in the presence of the plasmin inhibitor, aprotinin. C, Incubation of recombinant HSP27 with atherosclerotic plaques, led to HSP27 proteolysis in the conditioned medium. This effect is partially prevented by aprotinin, a serine-protease inhibitor. D, Coincuba- tion of mammary endarteries (M), known to release HSP27, with atherosclerotic plaque samples (P), as a source of proteases, led to HSP27 proteolysis in the conditioned medium. The empty dashed arrow indicates the band corresponding to HSP27 degradation prod- uct and the plain arrow shows the aggregated forms of HSP27.

FIGURE 1. Transthyretin (TTR) deposition induces heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF 1) activation and increases heat shock proteins (Hsp) expression in situ. (A) Human salivary glands from normal control individuals (n = 3) and from human familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) patients (n = 5) were immunostained for HSF 1. Greater expression and translocation to the nucleus (arrow) were observed in FAP patient samples. Scale bar = 50 Km (upper panels). Salivary glands from 6-month-old transgenic mice without TTR deposition (TTRj; n = 4) and with TTR deposition (TTR+; n = 5) were analyzed for HSF 1 expression. Only mice with TTR deposits had HSF 1 upregulation and translocation to the nucleus (arrow). Scale bar = 100 Km (bottom panels). (B) Greater expression of Hsp70 in skin from FAP patients (n = 7) compared with controls (n = 3; upper panels). Greater Hsp70 expression in SG samples from TTR positive transgenic (TTR+; n = 7) compared with TTR negative transgenic (TTRj; n = 7) mice. Scale bar = 50 Km (bottom panels). Graphs demonstrate semiquantitative analysis of Hsp70 expression shown as the average of percentage of occupied area with substrate color T standard deviation. *, p G 0.001. (C) Heat shock protein 27 expression in the peripheral nerve is upregulated in advanced stages of FAP. Normal control (n = 5) and FAP 0 (n = 5) have similarly low <t>Hsp27</t> expression, whereas FAP 1 (n = 6), FAP 2 (n = 4), and FAP 3 (n = 2) have significantly greater expression. Scale bar = 30 Km. The graph demonstrates semiquantitative analysis of Hsp27 expression shown as the percentage of occupied area with substrate color T standard deviation. *, p G 0.02, †, p G 0.01. (D) Increased Hsp in FAP tissues is associated with extracellular TTR deposition. Human FAP skin samples show extracellular TTR deposition, whereas Hsp70 is detected inside gland epithelial cells. Normal human skin does not show TTR, and Hsp70 is undetectable. Arrows with small closed arrowheads point to TTR, and arrows with larger open arrowheads indicate Hsp70 (upper panels). Human FAP peripheral nerve has extracellular TTR deposits (smaller, closed arrowheads; green); Hsp27 expression is in the axons (larger, open arrowheads; red; bottom panels). Scale bar = 20 Km.

B, Incubation of mammary endartery-released HSP27 with plasmin (125 mmol/L) for 18 hours led to its degradation and aggregation in the conditioned medium, and this effect is pre- vented in the presence of the plasmin inhibitor, aprotinin. C, Incubation of recombinant HSP27 with atherosclerotic plaques, led to HSP27 proteolysis in the conditioned medium. This effect is partially prevented by aprotinin, a serine-protease inhibitor. D, Coincuba- tion of mammary endarteries (M), known to release HSP27, with atherosclerotic plaque samples (P), as a source of proteases, led to HSP27 proteolysis in the conditioned medium.

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1. Transthyretin (TTR) deposition induces heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF 1) activation and increases heat shock proteins (Hsp) expression in situ. (A) Human salivary glands from normal control individuals (n = 3) and from human familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) patients (n = 5) were immunostained for HSF 1. Greater expression and translocation to the nucleus (arrow) were observed in FAP patient samples. Scale bar = 50 Km (upper panels). Salivary glands from 6-month-old transgenic mice without TTR deposition (TTRj; n = 4) and with TTR deposition (TTR+; n = 5) were analyzed for HSF 1 expression. Only mice with TTR deposits had HSF 1 upregulation and translocation to the nucleus (arrow). Scale bar = 100 Km (bottom panels). (B) Greater expression of Hsp70 in skin from FAP patients (n = 7) compared with controls (n = 3; upper panels).

Schematic model representing the regulation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions by ER. The model shows activation of a signaling cascade that involves ER interaction with α2β1, activation of cAMP, PKA, and FAK, followed by the transient activation of p38 MAPK and Hsp27, and ultimately disassembly of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions. The various blocking agents are also illustrated. For additional details see the text.
