Caloric Restriction Increases the Expression of Heat Shock Protein in the Gut

Abstract: ObjectiveThe authors determined whether caloric restriction (CR), either acutely or chronically, alters heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) gene expression in the gut. Summary Background DataCaloric restriction prolongs the life span and delays age-related disease (e.g., cancer) in mammals; the mechanisms responsible for these effects are not known. Heat shock proteins are a group of stress-responsive genes of which the most prominent member is hsp7O. MethodsIn the first experiment, adult (4-month-old) rats (n = 3/g… Show more

“…Reporter-CR has previously been reported to induce hsp70 expression (33,34). To verify that our CR conditions induce a HSR in C. elegans, we visualized GFP expression, which is under the regulatory control of the hsp70 promoter (C12C8.1::GFP) by microscopy (26).…”

“…HSPs were named for the observation that heat exposure induces their synthesis (Schlesinger 1990). However, their abundance at mRNA and protein levels, particularly the highly inducible HSP70, is upregulated by many stressors, including those that cause oxidative stress (Wheeler et al 1995;Ehrenfried et al 1996;Gasbarrini et al 1998).…”

“…Several endogenous physiological or environmental stressors, such as heat, ethanol, heavy metals, caloric restriction, and bacterial infection can trigger gut epithelial cells to increase synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) (7,27,31,40,54,58). However, certain HSPs are expressed under nonstress conditions and play an important role in maintaining cell integrity (20,21,30,43).…”
