Disease relevance of HSPB8

 

High impact information on HSPB8

  • Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed greater binding of both HSPB8 mutants to the interacting partner HSPB1 [7].
  • Expression of mutant HSPB8 in cultured cells promoted formation of intracellular aggregates [7].
  • In two pedigrees with distal hereditary motor neuropathy type II linked to chromosome 12q24.3, we identified the same mutation (K141N) in small heat-shock 22-kDa protein 8 (encoded by HSPB8; also called HSP22) [7].
  • In addition, one clone (37-11) expresses a human muscle-specific surface antigen (5.1 H11) and, under appropriate conditions, can be induced to form myotubes [8].
  • In the present study, we investigated the capacity of the sHsp, HspB8/Hsp22, to prevent protein aggregation in the cells using the polyglutamine protein Htt43Q as a model [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of HSPB8

 

Biological context of HSPB8

  • Using yeast two-hybrid assays and Förster resonance energy transfer microscopy, we now show that HSP22 also can interact with two additional members of the sHSP family, alphaB-crystallin and HSP20 [11].
  • In contrast, however, with Abeta(1-42), HspB8 neither affected beta-sheet formation nor Abeta-mediated cell death [2].
  • Here, we report a novel c.423G-->T (Lys141Asn) missense mutation of small heat-shock protein 22-kDa protein 8 (encoded by HSPB8), which is also responsible for distal hereditary motor neuropathy type (dHMN) II [12].
  • It was abrogated by co-treatment with both inhibitors, suggesting that H11-triggered apoptosis is both caspase- and p38MAPK-dependent [5].
  • Forced expression of the H11 heat shock protein can be regulated by DNA methylation and trigger apoptosis in human cells [5].
 

Anatomical context of HSPB8

 

Associations of HSPB8 with chemical compounds

  • Forced H11 expression by Aza-C treatment, transient transfection with H11 expression vectors, or retrovirus-mediated delivery of H11 under the control of a tetracycline-sensitive promoter triggered apoptosis [5].
  • One such mutation at a highly conserved arginine residue was shown to cause major conformational defects and intracellular aggregation of alphaA- and alphaB-crystallins and HspB8 [17].
  • Size exclusion chromatography and chemical crosslinking with dimethylsuberimidate indicate that Hsp22 forms stable dimers [18].
  • Mass spectrometric analyses were performed on detergent extracts of homogenized adult H. contortus and on purified H11, a glycoprotein isolated from intestinal brush borders which has been previously shown to be an effective vaccine antigen [19].
  • In the light of a hMR-LBD model based on the structure of the progesterone-associated receptor-LBD, we propose that the integrity of the H11-H12 loop is crucial for folding the receptor into a ligand-binding competent state and for establishing the network of contacts that stabilize the active receptor conformation [20].
 

Physical interactions of HSPB8

  • This interaction results in disruption of the ER/Sp1 complex and inhibition of E2-induced gene expression [21].
 

Enzymatic interactions of HSPB8

  • Hsp22 possesses a negligibly low autophosphorylation activity and under the conditions used is unable to phosphorylate casein or histone [18].
 

Regulatory relationships of HSPB8

  • Using flow cytometry and multiplex cytokine assays, we showed that both alphaA crystallin and HSPB8 were able to activate DCs and that this activation was TLR4 dependent [1].
  • Furthermore, Western blot and immunohistochemistry showed that HSPB8 was abundantly expressed in synovial tissue from patients with RA [1].
  • We conclude that HspB8 might play an important role in regulating Abeta aggregation and, therefore, the development of classic SPs in AD and CAA in HCHWA-D [2].
 

Other interactions of HSPB8

  • In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge of small HSPs, in particular HSPB1 and HSPB8, and discuss their role in health and disease [22].
  • Interactions of HSP22 (HSPB8) with HSP20, alphaB-crystallin, and HSPB3 [11].
  • HSP22 homo-dimers are formed through N-N and N-C interactions, and HSP22-cvHSP hetero-dimers through C-C interaction [23].
  • Furthermore, HspB8 affects protein aggregation, which has been shown by its ability to prevent formation of mutant huntingtin aggregates [2].
  • A single site mutant (H11-W51C) had cytoprotective activity related to MEK/ERK activation, and it blocked H11-induced apoptosis in co-transfected and Aza-C-treated cells, indicating that it is a dominant negative mutant [5].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HSPB8

  • Direct interaction of HspB8 with Abeta(1-42), Abeta(1-40) and Abeta(1-40) with the Dutch mutation was demonstrated by surface plasmon resonance [2].
  • This is evidenced by a significant (p < 0.001) increase in the percentage of cells positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and for activation of caspase-3 and p38MAPK and by the co-localization of TUNEL+ nuclei with increased H11 levels [5].
  • By subtractive hybridization, we found a significant increase in H11 kinase transcript in large mammalian models of both ischemia/reperfusion (stunning) and chronic pressure overload with hypertrophy [16].
  • Here we have purified native HSP22 and resolved the protein into three peaks using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography [24].
  • We demonstrate here that Merkel cells can be identified by immunohistochemistry, using a monoclonal antibody (LK2H11, Lloyd and Wilson, 1983) to neuroendocrine granules, and a monoclonal antibody (35 beta H11, Gown and Vogel, 1982) to a 54-kD keratin generally located in simple epithelia but not in stratified epithelia [25].
