    Abstract:
    Since both heat and sodium arsenite induce thermotolerance, we investigated the differences in synthesis and redistribution of stress proteins induced by these agents in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Five major heat shock proteins (HSPs; Mr 110, 87, 70, 28, and 8.5 kDa) were preferentially synthesized after heat for 10 min at 45.5 degrees C, whereas four major HSPs (Mr 110, 87, 70, and 28 kDa) and one stress protein (33.3 kDa) were preferentially synthesized after treatment with 100 microM sodium arsenite (ARS) for 1 hr. Two HSP families (HSP70a,b,c, and HSP28a,b,c) preferentially relocalized in the nucleus after heat shock. In contrast, only HSP70b redistributed into the nucleus after ARS treatment. Furthermore, the kinetics of synthesis of each member of HSP70 and HSP28 families and their redistribution were different after these treatments. The maximum rates of synthesis of HSP70 and HSP28 families, except HSP28c, were 6-9 hr after heat shock, whereas those of HSP70b and HSP28b,c were 0-2 hr after ARS treatment. In addition, the maximum rates of redistribution of HSP70 and HSP28 families occurred 3-6 hr after heat shock, whereas that of HSP70b occurred immediately after ARS treatment. The degree of redistribution of HSP70b after ARS treatment was significantly less than that after heat treatment. These results suggest that heat treatment but not sodium arsenite treatment stimulates the entry of HSP70 and HSP28 families into the nucleus.
