The influence of heat shock protein 70 induction on hemodynamic variables in a porcine model of recurrent endotoxemia

Abstract

The manipulation of stress gene expression by heavy metals provides protection against the lethal effects of endotoxemia in murine models of septic shock. These findings suggest that the increased resistance to endotoxin in vivo after stress protein induction could be explained by an attenuation of hemodynamic alterations and an altered pattern of inflammatory mediator release. Therefore, we measured main hemodynamic variables such as systemic and pulmonary artery pressure, cardiac output, heart rate, central venous pressure, and pulmonary artery wedge pressure, as well as the time-course of thromboxane-B2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and interleukin 6 formation with and without induction of the stress response in an established porcine model of recurrent endotoxemia (Circ Shock 35:237-244, 1991). Induction of the stress response was carried out by a pretreatment with Zn2+ (25 mg/kg zinc-bis-(DL-hydrogenaspartate) = 5 mg/kg Zn2+). Pretreatment with Zn2+ prior to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infusion induced an increased heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression in the lungs, liver, and kidneys and significantly increased plasma levels of interleukin 6, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and thromboxane-B2, compared with untreated controls. After LPS infusio...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
