title: Effects of low culture temperature on the induction of hsp70 mRNA and the accumulation of hsp70 and hsp105 in mouse FM3A cells.
abstract: We have shown that heat shock does not induce the synthesis of hsp70 in FM3A cells maintained at a low culture temperature of 33 degrees C although it does so in cells maintained at 37 degrees C [T. Hatayama et al. (1991) Biochem. Int. 24, 467-474]. In this paper, we show that FM3A cells maintained at 37 degrees C produced hsp70 mRNA during continuous heating at 42 degrees C or during postincubation at either 37 or 33 degrees C after being heated at 45 degrees C for 15 min, whereas cells maintained at 33 degrees C did not produce hsp70 mRNA during continuous heating at 37, 39, 42, or 45 degrees C, or during postincubation after being heated at any temperature. Thus the lack of hsp70 synthesis in cells maintained at 33 degrees C seemed to be due to the absence of hsp70 mRNA induction. Also, hsp70 was accumulated in cells maintained at 37 degrees C during continuous heating at 42 degrees C and during postincubation at 37 degrees C after heat shock at 45 degrees C, but not during postincubation at 33 degrees C. The cellular level of the constitutive hsp73 as well as the mRNA level were both similar in cells maintained at 33 and 37 degrees C. On the other hand, the cellular level of the constitutive hsp105 in cells maintained at 33 degrees C was only half of that in cells maintained at 37 degrees C. These hsp105 levels increased significantly in both types of cells after continuous heating at 39 degrees C. These findings indicate that the culture temperature affects not only the induction of hsp70 mRNA but also the accumulation of hsp70 and hsp105 in the cells.
