RESUMO
When submitted to a heat-shock, mouse embryonal carcinoma (EC) and fibroblast cells show very different behavior. All the EC cells so far analyzed express very high levels of several heat-shock proteins (HSP) in the absence of stress and independent of their origin and culture conditions. In such cells, the 89-kd, 70-kd and 59-kd HSP are the most prominent proteins after actin. In addition, the 89-kd and 59-kd HSP are not stimulated by an arsenite shock in contrast to what is observed with fibroblasts or cells of the parietal yolk sac type. Arsenite induces the synthesis of a 105-kd polypeptide in fibroblasts but not in EC cells. In vitro differentiation of F9 cells induced by retinoic acid and dibutyryl cAMP is accompanied by a decrease in the spontaneous relative abundance of HSP and restores the arsenite-induced synthesis of the 105-kd polypeptide. EC cells are usually believed to be similar to inner cell mass cells of mouse blastocyst. Furthermore, data in the literature together with our own results suggest that the same three HSP are also spontaneously expressed in high amounts in the early mouse embryo.
