We investigated the protective effect of heat stress and metabolic preconditioning in cultured adult rat cardiac myocytes and correlated this effect with induction of heat shock proteins (HSP). Myocytes were preconditioned with sublethal heat shock or metabolic preconditioning for 30 min. Twenty hours later, preconditioned myocytes were subjected to lethal heat shock (46 degrees C for 2 h) or ischemia by incubation in ischemic buffer for 2 h. Cellular injury index was reduced from 69 +/- 4.0% in lethally heat-shocked cells to 27.0 +/- 1.6% with heat shock preconditioning (mean +/- SE; P < 0.01) and 19.0 +/- 3.0% with metabolic preconditioning (P < 0.01). Cellular injury index was 81.0 +/- 1.0% in ischemic myocytes and was reduced to 25.9 +/- 2.7 and 21.4 +/- 2.6% in heat shock- and metabolic-preconditioned myocytes, respectively (P < 0.01). A significant cross-tolerance of myocytes against lethal injury was observed with the two preconditioning methods. Western blot analysis revealed 3.3- and 2.5-fold increases in HSP 90 and 500- and 15-fold increases in HSP 70 with heat shock and metabolic preconditioning, respectively. HSP 27 expression remained unaltered relative to control cells. We conclude that heat shock and metabolic preconditioning induce delayed tolerance against lethal injuries in adult cardiac myocytes with elevated levels of HSP 70 and HSP 90.
