Zebrafish Hsp40 and Hsc70 genes are both induced during caudal fin regeneration

Abstract: We report the characterization of a zebrafish DnaJ-like protein, homologue to the human Hsp40 protein hdj1, that we named zf-Hsp40. We have studied its expression during fin regeneration and we show that zf-Hsp40 mRNA level is drastically increased in all ray segments beneath the regenerated part, or blastema, in response to caudal fin amputation. In order to investigate whether zf-Hsp40 is part of a stress response system after injury, we studied the expression of the zebrafish Hsc70 transcript. Our results s… Show more

“…While HSC70 acts as an important chaperone in non-stressed cells, its role upon exposure to stress is unknown. Our results are in line with previous studies in which HSC70 induction was observed upon exposure of Zebrafish embryos to heat shock [16] and during caudal fin regeneration [17]. Together with the HSP70 family of proteins, HSP90 regulates steroid–hormone response, protein translocation and degradation [18], all crucial systems in chronic stress.…”

“…In agreement with this, recent studies on limb regeneration in vertebrates (axolotl) demonstrated an upregulation of the RNA transcript for Hsp70 as early as 24 hours following amputation (Levesque et al 2005), confirming earlier reports describing an increased synthesis and accumulation of a 73-kDa protein (Carlone et al 1993). Other studies showed a coordinated expression of Hsp40 and Hsp70 as part of a stress response system operating after injury in zebrafish (Tawk et al 2000). A recent accumulation of literature suggests the use of sea stars as sentinel organisms for the assessment of environmental pollution.…”

“…These might be related to nerves, as innervation has been proven to be necessary for teleost fin regeneration (Goss and Stagg, 1957; Géraudie and Singer, 1979). They may also be factors related to injury and wounding, because the heat shock protein genes Hsp40 and Hsc70 have recently been reported to be transcribed in a large intra‐ray portion underlying the amputation plane (Tawk et al, 2000). The participation of other, as yet unknown signals cannot be ruled out.…”
