“…Herein, we also suggest that the downregulation of hsp22 found in all the investigated strains may also underlie the maintenance of some degree of genomic tolerance for surviving, as previously suggested by Gong and Golic (2006). This could mean that hsp22 may play an important role in the plasticity of genome adaptation.…”

ABSTRACT.A common physiological response of organisms to environmental conditions is variation in gene expression, especially true for genes encoding for heat shock proteins. In insects, this process has been examined for induced heat or cold stress. The putative longterm imprinted/acquired heat shock protein response due to unfriendly environmental conditions has been far less studied. The Drosophila melanogaster hsp22 gene, which has been extensively reviewed as being sensitive to different changing life conditions, was examined by qRT-PCR, using carboxy-X-rhodamine. In the present study, we focused on the detection of hsp22 level of transcription in three D. melanogaster isolates, collected from sites located near different chemical plants in Romania and subjected to one-year adaptation to laboratory conditions. In all isolates, the hsp22 gene expression was determined using the housekeeping genes Gapdh1 and UbcD10 as internal controls. According to our experimental results, the D. melanogaster hsp22 gene was significantly downregulated compared to the same gene in w 1118 iso, used as a calibrator. We showed that hsp22 could play an important role in relation to stress resistance and adaptation. This study highlights the importance of in vivo studies to demonstrate genome plasticity to overcome different damages induced by any presumed source of stress.

“…Common elements may underlie general mechanisms of stress tolerance (Kültz, 2005). For example, Hsp proteins are key players in conferring tolerance to nearly all kinds of stresses Whitman, 2009), including heat (Welte et al, 1993;Feder, 1999;Gong and Golic, 2006) and cold stress (Colinet et al, 2010b;Kostál and Tollarova-Borovanska, 2009;Rinehart et al, 2007). Thus, hsp genes represent prime candidates for investigating molecular correlates at young age.…”

SUMMARYMany endogenous factors influence thermal tolerance of insects. Among these, age contributes an important source of variation. Heat tolerance is typically high in newly eclosed insects, before declining dramatically. It is not known whether this phenomenon relates to cold tolerance also. In addition, the underlying mechanisms of this variation are unresolved. In this study, we tested whether cold tolerance declines in Drosophila melanogaster females aged from 0 to 5days. We also assessed whether expression (basal and induced) of eight stress genes (hsp22, hsp23, hsp40, hsp68, hsp70Aa, hsp83, Starvin and Frost) varied post-eclosion in correspondence with changes found in cold tolerance. We report that cold tolerance was very high at eclosion and then it rapidly declined in young flies. hsp23 and hsp68 showed a dramatic age-related variation of basal expression that was associated with cold tolerance proxies. Significant age-related plasticity of cold-induced expression was also found for hsp22, hsp23, hsp68, hsp70Aa, Frost and Starvin. Induced expression of hsp22 and hsp70Aa was high in newly enclosed phenotypes before declining dramatically, whilst opposite age-related patterns were found for hsp23, hsp68, Starvin and Frost. This study shows a marked within-stage variation in cold tolerance. The involvement of the stress genes in setting basal thermal tolerance is discussed.Supplementary material available online at http://jeb.biologists.org/lookup/suppl

“…The HSP70 family is one of the most thoroughly studied groups. The lack of HSP70 expression in Drosophila results in reduced heat resistance and developmental delays, indicating that the HSP70 gene plays an important role in heat shock (Gong and Golic, 2006). Shabtay and Arad (2006) observed that differential combinations of HSFs and DNA have varying effects on HSP transcription and translation.…”

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to estimate changes in HSF3 and HSP70 mRNA expression in stress-sensitive tissues of 2 chicken breeds during acute heat stress. Lingshan chickens (LSC) and White Recessive Rock (WRR) (24 chickens of each breed) were randomly divided into 4 groups (0, 2, 3, and 6 h of heat treatment). With increasing heat treatment time, both HSF3 and HSP70 expression first declined and then showed a significant increase in both breeds. However, HSP70 expression decreased in the heart following 6 h of heat treatment, whereas HSF3 expression continued to increase. After 2 h of heat treatment, HSF3 expression was significantly higher in the brain and leg muscle of LSC compared to WRR (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In comparison, HSP70 expression was significantly higher in the liver and leg muscle of WRR compared to LSC (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). After 3 h of heat treatment, HSF3 expression was significantly higher in the brain and leg muscle of LSC compared to WRR (P < 0.01). In comparison, HSP70 expression was significantly higher in the liver and heart of LSC compared to WRR (P < 0.01). These results indicate that the expression of HSF3 and HSP70 mRNA in LSC and WRR exhibit species-specific and tissue-specific differences during heat treatment.
