Small heat shock proteins and protection against ischemic injury in cardiac myocytes

Abstract

Overexpression of the inducible hsp70 protects against ischemic cardiac damage. However, it is unclear whether the small heat shock proteins hsp27 and alphaB-crystallin protect against ischemic injury. Our aim was to examine whether the overexpression of hsp27 and alphaB-crystallin in neonatal and adult rat cardiomyocytes would protect against ischemic injury. Recombinant adenovirus expressing hsp27 or alphaB-crystallin under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter was used to infect cardiac myocytes at high efficiency as assessed by immunostaining. Overexpression was confirmed by Western blot analysis. Cardiomyocytes were subjected to simulated ischemic stress, and survival was estimated through assessment of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase release. The hsp27 overexpression decreased lactate dehydrogenase release by 45+/-7.5% in adult cardiomyocytes but had no effect in the neonatal cells. In contrast, alphaB-crystallin overexpression was associated with a decrease in cytosolic enzyme release in both adult (29+/-6.6%) and neonatal (32+/-5.4%) cardiomyocytes. Decreased endogenous hsp25 with an antisense adenovirus produced a 29+/-9.9% increase in damage with simulated ischemia. Overexpression of the inducib...Continue Reading
