DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Preservation of homeostasis is a fundamental condition for any organism. The most conservative mechanism for cellular protection is the expression of heat shock proteins (hsp), which are involved in the repair and stabilization of key cellular processes after stress. Although the primary function of hsp is circumscribed to intracellular events, they have been found outside cells, released by an active process. We hypothesize that extracellular hsp are exported to "alert" the immune system that a localized stress or injury has occurred. Therefore, the immune system is primed to mount a timely response in case the localized insult should propagate. We have coined this systemic mechanism to sense stress the stress observation system (SOS). An important feature of the SOS is that hsp are released associated with extracellular vesicles (ECV) derived from the plasma membrane. These vesicles contain information for targeting specific cell types for the delivery of the stress information. Prior investigations have shown that Hsp70 (Hsp72), the major inducible form of the hsp family, was found embedded in the plasma membrane of cells recovering from a stress. In addition, Hsp70 can be inserted into artificial lipid bilayers, openin ion conductance pathways. Moreover, Hsp70 was released from cells associated with ECV. Hsp70-positive ECV is able to interact with macrophages (M s), inducing a response that primes cells to ameliorate, prevent, or defend the organism from subsequent insults, which is consistent with the role of hsp in stress tolerance. The objective of this application is to elucidate the mechanisms of Hsp70 insertion into the plasma membrane and ECV release and interaction with M s. These investigations will provide novel cellular mechanisms for protein export and activation of immune cells, which are likely to constitute new pillars of knowledge for cellular biology as well as biomedical research. Moreover, our studies may define a new regulatory system that senses the occurrence of stress in the form of vesicles that permit the communication between distant cells. An understanding of this novel communication system may be of help in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients.

描述(申请人提供)：保持体内平衡是任何生物体的基本条件。最保守的细胞保护机制是热休克蛋白(HSP)的表达，热休克蛋白参与应激后关键细胞过程的修复和稳定。虽然热休克蛋白的主要功能局限于细胞内事件，但它们已被发现在细胞外，由一个活跃的过程释放。我们假设细胞外的热休克蛋白被输出，以“警告”免疫系统局部应激或损伤已经发生。因此，免疫系统做好了准备，以便在局部侮辱传播的情况下做出及时反应。我们创造了这种系统性的机制来感知压力，即压力观测系统(SOS)。SOS的一个重要特征是HSP的释放与来自质膜的细胞外小泡(ECV)相关。这些小泡包含针对特定细胞类型的信息，以传递应激信息。先前的研究表明，HSP70(HSP72)是HSP家族的主要诱导形式，被发现嵌入在从应激中恢复的细胞质膜中。此外，HSP70还可以插入到人工脂双层中，开启离子传导通路。此外，与ECV相关的细胞释放Hsp70。热休克蛋白70阳性的ECV能够与巨噬细胞相互作用(M S)，诱导一种反应，启动细胞改善、防止或防御随后的伤害，这与热休克蛋白在应激耐受中的作用是一致的。本研究旨在阐明热休克蛋白70插入细胞膜和血管内皮细胞释放以及与S的相互作用机制，为蛋白质输出和免疫细胞激活提供新的细胞机制，有望成为细胞生物学和生物医学研究的新知识支柱。此外，我们的研究可能会定义一种新的调控系统，以小泡的形式感知压力的发生，从而允许远程细胞之间的交流。了解这一新的通讯系统可能有助于危重病人的诊断和治疗。
