title: Metabolic oxidative stress-induced HSP70 gene expression is mediated through SAPK pathway. Role of Bcl-2 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase.
abstract: In previous reports we demonstrated that glucose deprivation induces metabolic oxidative stress in drug-resistant human breast carcinoma MCF-7/ADR cells (Lee, Y. J., Galoforo, S. S., Berns, c. M., Chen, J. C., Davis, B. H., Swim, J. E., Corry, P. M., and Spitz, D. R. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 5294-5299). In the study described here, we investigated intracellular responses to metabolic oxidative stress. Northern blots show an increase in the level of HSP70 and HSP28 mRNA in cells exposed to glucose-free medium for 1 h. One- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel analyses confirmed that glucose deprivation induced a family of HSPs, particularly an inducible HSP70. Overexpression of bcl-2 suppressed glucose deprivation-induced HSP70 gene expression, heat shock transcription factor-heat shock element binding activity, as well as c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK1) activation. Expression of a dominant-negative mutant of JNK1 also suppressed glucose deprivation-induced JNK1 activation as well as HSP70 gene expression. Taken together, the stress-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway is involved in glucose deprivation-induced heat shock gene expression.
