Expressional pattern of chaperones in neuronal, glial, amnion, mesothelial, and bronchial epithelial cell lines.
Although literature is abundant on expression of individual heat shock proteins (HSPs) and molecular chaperones, no comprehensive information is given on their expressional pattern. The aim of our study was therefore to study expressional differences between several cell types that may provide evidence for the types of HSPs and chaperones that may be operating in the corresponding lineages. For this purpose neuronal (HCN-2), glial (SVG-p12), amnion, mesothelial (Met-5A), and bronchial epithelial (16HBE14o(-)) cell lines were grown, harvested, and protein was separated on two-dimensional electrophoresis with subsequent in-gel digestion and identification of protein spots by MALDI-MS and specific software. A series of 29 high abundance HSPs and chaperones were unambiguously identified altogether. We observed distinct expressional patterns and although overlapping, there was an apparent paucity of HSPs and chaperones in bronchial epithelial and mesothelial cells. We learn from this study that individual cell lines express and may use different HSP and chaperones systems and strategies. Specific functions of cells may be responsible as well as the presence of protein specific chaperones, although we cannot rule out that cell culture conditions were at least in part responsible for the different expressional patterns.
