The influence of HSP inducers on salinity stress in sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus): In vitro study on HSP expression, immune responses, and antioxidant capacity.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a crucial role in antioxidant systems, immune responses, and enzyme activation during stress conditions. Salinity changes can cause stress and energy expenditure in fish, resulting in mortality, especially in fingerlings. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between salinity and HSPs in stressed fish by assessing the effects of various HSP inducers (HSPis), including Pro-Tex® (800 mM), amygdalin (80 mM), and a novel synthetic compound derived from pirano piranazole (80 µM), on isolated cells from Sterlet Sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus) exposed to 13 ‰ salinity (S13). After liver, kidney, and gill cells were cultured, the HSPi compounds were treated in vitro in the presence and absence of salinity. The expression patterns of HSP27, HSP70, a
