- Abstract
The stress-inducible 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) can exert a protective effect on endotoxemia and sepsis due to its ability to interact with immune cells and modulate the immune response. However, it remains unknown whether Hsp70 is able to relieve endotoxemia-induced fever. We carried out a comparative study of the effects of preventive administration of the human recombinant Hsp70 (HSPA1A) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia in pigeons and rats with preimplanted electrodes and thermistors for recording the thermoregulation parameters (brain temperature, peripheral vasomotor reaction, muscular contractile activity). Additionally, we analyzed the dynamics of the white blood cell (WBC) count in rats under the same conditions. It was found that preventive administration of Hsp70 relieves the LPS-induced febrile reaction in pigeons and rats and accelerates the restoration of the WBC count in rats. The data obtained suggest that these warm-blooded animals share a common physiological mechanism that underlies the protective effect of Hsp70.
