Abstract

Heat-shock protein concentrations in the blood increase after exposure to a variety of stressors, including trauma and psychological stress. Although the physiological function of extracellular heat shock protein remains controversial, there is evidence that extracellular heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) can facilitate immunologic responses. The signal(s) that mediate(s) the in vivo elevation of extracellular Hsp72 in the blood after stressor exposure remain(s) unknown. Here we report that Hsp72 increases in the circulation via an α 1-adrenergic receptor-mediated signaling pathway. Activation of α 1-adrenoceptors results in a rapid increase in circulating Hsp72, and blockade of α 1-adrenoceptors prevents the stress-induced rise in circulating Hsp72. Furthermore, our studies exclude a role for β-adrenoceptors, glucocorticoids, and ACTH in mediating stress-induced elevations in circulating extracellular Hsp72. Understanding the signals involved in elevating extracellular Hsp72 could facilitate the use of extracellular Hsp72 to bolster immunity and perhaps prevent exacerbation of inflammatory diseases during stress.

  • The release of Hsp72 after tailshock is dependent on α-adrenergic, but not β- or glucocorticoid, receptor signaling.

    “the release of Hsp72 (a possible DAMP) after tailshock is dependent on α-adrenergic, but not βor glucocorticoid, receptor signaling (Johnson et al, 2005;Johnson and Fleshner, 2006).”
  • Activation of the classical HPA and ANS stress axes can support or suppress inflammatory and adaptive immune responses in human and animal models, depending on whether it occurs before or after the immunological challenge.

    “For example, activation of the classical HPA and ANS stress axes can support or suppress inflammatory and adaptive immune responses in human and animal models, depending, among other factors, on whether it occurs before or after the immunological challenge (274, 371, 474).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
