The heat-shock response is a crucial system for survival of organisms under heat stress. During heat-shock stress, gene expression is globally suppressed, but expression of some genes, such as chaperone genes, is selectively promoted. These selectively activated genes have critical roles in the heat-shock response, so it is necessary to discover heat-inducible genes to reveal the overall heat-shock response picture. The expression profiling of heat-inducible protein-coding genes has been well-studied, but that of non-coding genes remains unclear in mammalian systems. Here, we used RNA-seq analysis of heat shock-treated A549 cells to identify seven novel long non-coding RNAs that responded to heat shock. We focussed on CTD-2377D24.6 RNA, which is most significantly induced by heat shock, and found that the promoter region of CTD-2377D24.6 contains the binding site for transcription factor HSF1 (heat shock factor 1), which plays a central role in the heat-shock response. We confirmed that HSF1 knockdown cancelled the induction of CTD-2377D24.6 RNA upon heat shock. These results suggest that CTD-2377D24.6 RNA is a novel heat shock-inducible transcript that is transcribed by HSF1.
