Abstract

In order to observe the effects of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) on the apoptosis of K562 cell caused by hyperthermia, HSP70 was induced by pre-heating K562 cells at 40 degrees C and the levels of HSP70 were detected by RT-PCR. Cell apoptosis caused by hyperthermia at 43 degrees C was observed by Fluid cytometry (FCM) DNA content analyses. The results showed that HSP70 increased with the prolong of pre-heating time and reached the top level on pre-heating for 120 min and lasted for several hours. A lower apoptosis rate and less DNA ladder forming in the pre-heated cells than those not pre-heated. It is concluded that the higher expression of HSP70 induced by pre-heating treatment could inhibited the apoptosis caused by hyperthermia.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
