Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in bladder cancer cell lines 253JB-V and UM-UC13 exposed to bortezomib

ABSTRACT: We previously showed that the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade) induces cell death in a subset of human bladder cancer cell lines. Heat shock protein 72 kDa (Hsp72) is the major cytosolic stress-inducible molecular chaperone, and is thought to protect cells from proteasome inhibition. Here, using whole genome mRNA expression profiling, we identify isoform-specific expression of Hsp72 within a heterogeneous panel of bladder cancer cell lines. Bortezomib induced strong upregulation of both the HSPA1A and HSPA1B isoforms of Hsp72 in 253J B-V and SW780 (HSPA1A-high) cells, whereas only HSPA1B isoform expression was induced in UM-UC10 and UM-UC13 (HSPA1A-low) cells. Bortezomib stimulated the binding of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) to the HSPA1A promoter much more efficiently in 253JB-V
