title: Cyclic AMP and the heat shock response in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
abstract: Heat shock leads to transient increases in cAMP levels in HA-1-CHO cells. Such pulses are correlated temporally with the induction of heat resistance (thermotolerance) and with heat shock protein synthesis. Although the kinetics of cAMP increase after heating suggest a role in thermotolerance induction, raising cAMP levels directly using dBcAMP did not produce full thermotolerance. The resistance induced by dBcAMP may thus be either a component of or different to heat-shock triggered resistance. Cells which had been made thermotolerant by heat shock did not produce a pulse in cAMP level on heating. The cAMP producing system thus seemed desensitized to heat in thermotolerant cells.
