    Notes: It has been shown that no relation exists between [Ca2+]i and hyperthermic cell killing, although heat-induced increase of [Ca2+]i can be observed in some cell lines. When ionophores are used, dose-dependent rises in [Ca2+]i may be found. Beyond a certain threshold of ionophore-induced increases in [Ca2+]i, cells may be killed. Different threshold levels of [Ca2+]i exist in different cell lines. Hyperthermia can act synergistically with calcium ionophores to potentiate cell killing. Since there is no causal relation between [Ca2+]i and heat toxicity, this synergism can be explained as heat enhanced Ca2+ toxicity. In the current report, it is shown that both ionophore-induced Ca2+ toxicity (37°C) and its potentiation by heat are dependent on extracellular calcium and related to sustained increases in [Ca2+]i. With ionomycin concentrations up to 15 μM, no increase in [Ca2+]i was seen in cells maintained in medium without Ca2+. Ionomycin effects on intracellular compartments were absent, and the drug seemed to act solely on the level of the plasmamembrane. Also, the synergism of heat and ionomycin appeared to act at the plasmamembrane, because depletion of extracellular calcium completely abolished this synergistic effect. The data presented are also discussed in the light of controversies existing in the literature for the role of calcium in hyperthermic cell killing. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Heat-induced nuclear protein aggregation and subsequent disaggregation were measured in nonpreheated and preheated (thermotolerant) HeLa S3 cells. The effect of thermotolerance on the formation of and recovery from heat-induced nuclear protein aggregates was related to the cellular levels of hsp27, hsp60, hsp70, hsc70, and hsp90. Cells heated at different time points after the thermotolerance trigger showed various levels of protection against heat-induced nuclear protein aggregation. This protection, however, did not parallel the development and decay of thermotolerance on cell survival. The protection was maximal when the thermotolerance level already had started to decay. The level of protection against nuclear protein aggregation did however parallel the cellular level of hsp70 indicating that hsp70 may be involved in this process. At all stages during the development and decay, thermotolerant cells showed a more rapid recovery (disaggregation) from the heat-induced nuclear protein aggregates than non-thermotolerant cells. The rates of disaggregation during development and decay of thermotolerance paralleled the cellular levels of hsp27 suggesting that hsp27 is somehow involved in this recovery process from heat-induced nuclear protein aggregates. The total cellular levels of none of the individual hsp's completely correlate with development and decay of thermotolerance, indicating that overexpression of any of these hsp's alone does not determine the level of thermotolerance. Clonogenic cell survival paralleled the rates of disaggregation, leading to the notion that recovery processes are the most important determinant for the thermotolerant state of HeLa S3 cells. The best corelation with clonogenic survival was found when both initial aggregation and subsequent disaggregation were taken into account, suggesting that the combined action of various hsp's in these two processes have to be included in thermotolerance development and decay. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Recent data indicate that cells may acquire thermotolerance via more than one route. In this study, we observed differences in thermotolerance development in HeLa S3 cells induced by prior heating (15 minutes at 44°C) or pretreatment with sodium-arsenite (1 hour at 37°C, 100 μM). Inhibition of overall protein and heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis (〉95%) by cycloheximide (25 μg/ml) during tolerance development nearly completely abolished thermotolerance induced by arsenite, while significant levels of heat-induced thermotolerance were still apparent. The same dependence of protein synthesis was found for resistance against sodium-arsenite toxicity. Toxic heat, but not toxic arsenite treatments caused heat damage in the cell nucleus, measured as an increase in the protein mass of nuclei isolated from treated cells (intranuclear protein aggregation). Recovery from this intranuclear protein aggregation was observed during post-heat incubations of the cells at 37°C. The rate of recovery was faster in heat-induced tolerant cells than in nontolerant cells. Arsenite-induced tolerant cells did not show an enhanced rate of recovery from the heat-induced intranuclear protein aggregation. In parallel, hyperthermic inhibition of RNA synthesis was the same in tolerant and nontolerant cells, whereas post-heat recovery was enhanced in heat-induced, but not arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells. The more rapid recovery from heat damage in the nucleus (protein aggregation and RNA synthesis) in cells made tolerant by a prior heat treatment seemed related to the ability of heat (but not arsenite) to induce HSP translocations to the nucleus.
