Development of acute thermotolerance in L929 cells: lack of HSP28 synthesis and phosphorylation.
We investigated the correlation between the development of acute thermotolerance and the phosphorylation, synthesis, and expression of the HSP28 family in murine L929 cells. Following heating at 43 degrees C for 30 min, thermotolerance developed rapidly in exponential-phase cells and reached its maximum 4-9 h after heat shock. Maximal thermal resistance was maintained for 24 h and then gradually decayed. However, heat-induced phosphorylation of HSP28 was not detected. Furthermore, HSP28 synthesis during incubation at 37 degrees C for 12 h following heat shock was not detected by [3H]-leucine labeling followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, Northern blots failed to demonstrate expression of the HSP28 gene. Unlike HSP28, the expression of constitutive and inducible HSP70 genes, along with the synthesis of their proteins, was observed during incubation at 37 degrees C after heat shock. These results demonstrate that HSP28 synthesis and its phosphorylation are not required to develop acute thermotolerance in L929 cells.
