Previously, we have found that changes in the location of intracellular HSP60 are associated with apoptosis. HSP60 has been reported to be a ligand of Toll-like receptor (TLR)4. We hypothesized that extracellular HSP60 (exHSP60) would mediate apoptosis via TLR-4. Adult rat cardiac myocytes were treated with HSP60, either recombinant human or with HSP60 purified from the media of injured rat cardiac myocytes. ExHSP60 induced apoptosis in cardiac myocytes, as detected by increased caspase 3 activity and increased DNA fragmentation. Apoptosis could be reduced by blocking antibodies to TLR-4 and by NFκB binding decoys, but not completely inhibited, even though similar treatment blocked LPS-induced apoptosis. Three distinct controls showed no evidence for involvement of a ligand other than exHSP60 in the mediation of apoptosis. This is the first report of HSP60-induced apoptosis via the toll-like receptors. HSP60 mediated activation of TLR-4 may be a mechanism of myocyte loss in heart failure, where HSP60 has been detected in the plasma.
