Abstract excerpt
We investigated the effect of heat shock on the expression of the collagenase gene in normal human synovial and dermal fibroblasts. Heat shock (42-44 degrees C for 1 h) caused a marked increase in heat-shock protein 70 (HSP-70) mRNA levels, followed by a delayed increase in collagenase mRNA levels, in both cell types. Pretreatment with cycloheximide had no effect on the heat-shock-induced increase in HSP-70 mRNA...
