Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are induced by stressful stimuli and have been shown to protect cells and organs from such stresses both in vitro and in vivo, and play a positive role in lifespan determination. An attenuated response to stress is characteristic of senescence and no Hsp induction is observed upon exposure to stress and no protective effect of a mild stress is observed in cells from aged individuals. The artificial over-expression of Hsps, can produce a protective effect against a variety of damaging stimuli in cells from aged rats or aged humans, in whom cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity in older age. Here, we show that aging significantly decreases the levels of Hsp27, Hsp60, Hsp72 and Hsc70 in right atrium and left ventricle of the rat heart, both at level of protein and of mRNA. Two different caloric restriction regimens have been found to counteract in part the decrease in the levels of Hsp expression in the aged heart tissue as well as the tendency to an increase of the levels of carbonyl in cardiac proteins. Our data suggest that cardiac Hsp levels may be a determinant of longevity in rodents, and that generation of new regimens of caloric restriction may eventually show how to improve modulation of cardiac aging.
