Abstract

Background

Previous study indicated that PS-341 induces cell death via JNK pathway in vitro in glioma. However, suppressing proteasome complex by PS-341 may induce expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), which confer potential protection against cellular stress. In this study, we explored whether induction of HSPs could impair PS-341-induced cell death and whether inhibition of HSPs could enhance cell damage induced by PS-341 in glioma cells.

Methods

HSP expression in glioma cells was modulated by HSP inhibitor, sublethal heat, or knockdown of heat shock factor1 (HSF1), then PS-341-induced cell damage was examined by different methods. Similar experiments were also performed in HSF1+/+ and HSF1–/– cells. HSP70 expression and HSF1 nuclear localization were compared between glioma and normal brain tissues.

Results

HSP level was upregulated mediated by HSF1 when glioma cells were treated with PS-341. PS-341-mediated cell damage could be significantly augmented by HSP inhibition. Furthermore, HSP70 expression and HSF1 nuclear localization were much more abundant in gliomas than in normal brain tissues.

Conclusions

Our results demonstrated that HSP70 impaired cell death induced by PS-341 in glioma cells. Administration of PS-341 in combination with either HSP70 inhibitor or HSF1 knockdown may act as a new approach to treatment of glioma.
