title: Induction of baroresistance by hydrogen peroxide, ethanol and cold-shock in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: The acquisition of tolerance to high hydrostatic pressure of 220 MPa (HHP) in response to a 0.4 mM hydrogen peroxide, 6% ethanol and cold-shock (10 degrees C) pretreatment for different lengths of times was studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protection conferred by these different treatments was similar ( approximately 3 log cycles) and time-dependent. Analysis of the induction of the most pressure up-regulated genes under these conditions was investigated by RT-PCR. Our results revealed that the cell stress response to HHP shares common features with hydrogen peroxide and ethanol stresses, but differs in some way to cold-shock.
