| Popis: | Prostaglandins of the A type (PGA) induce the synthesis of 70 kDa heat shock proteins (hsp70) in a large variety of mammalian cells. Induction of hsp70 has been associated with a cytoprotective effect of PGA1 after virus infection or thermal injury. In the present report we provide evidence that, in murine myoblasts, PGA1 is not able to induce hsp70 expression, whereas it increases the synthesis of the constitutive protein, hsc70, and dramatically induces the synthesis of a 32 kDa protein (p32). The p32 protein has been identified as haem oxygenase. PGA1 acts at the transcriptional level by inducing haem oxygenase mRNA synthesis, and the signal for induction appears to be associated with decreased intracellular GSH levels. Haem oxygenase, a low-molecular-mass stress protein induced in mammalian cells by oxidant stress, is known to be part of a general inducible antioxidant defence pathway. The fact that prostaglandin synthesis is stimulated in muscle during contraction and in the heart in response to ischaemia raises the possibility that induction of haem oxygenase by PGA in myoblasts could be part of a protective mechanisms in operation during stress and hypoxia. |
