Rat C6 glioma cells were stably transfected with a human cDNA encoding heat shock protein (HSP) 70. Immunostaining revealed the presence of largely cytosolic HSP70 in C6-hsp70 cells, but not in control (vector transfected) C6-pTK cells. Induction of nitric oxide synthase (NOS-2) expression in C6-hsp70 cells, assessed by nitrite accumulation, was significantly reduced compared to control C6-pTK cells (25 +/- 8% of control cell induction, P < 0.005), when induced with a maximally stimulatory combination of bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus a mixture of three cytokines ("CM:" TNF-alpha, IL1-beta, and IFN-gamma). Immunostaining for the transcription factor NF kappa B p65 subunit revealed decreased cytokine-dependent nuclear uptake in HSP70 expressing cells compared to control cells. Activation of C6 cell NF kappa B by LPS plus CM required I kappa B degradation by the 205 proteasome, since NOS-2 expression was blocked by a selective proteasome inhibitor. In parental C6 cells, the presence of LPS plus CM caused a rapid (within 30 min) decrease in inhibitory I kappa B-alpha protein levels, and this loss was abolished by prior heat shock of the cells. In contrast, I kappa B-alpha levels in transfected cells were not modified by the expression of HSP70. These results demonstrate that constitutive HSP70 expression in glial cells can reduce NOS-2 induction, presumably due to inhibition of NF kappa B nuclear uptake. Furthermore, whereas prevention of decreases in I kappa B-alpha can account for the suppressive effects of heat shock, the results suggest that HSP70 blocks NOS-2 induction by interfering at a later step in the NF kappa B activation pathway.
