Abstract

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is activated under stress response. Its involvement in cell protection, including energy metabolism and quality control makes it a promising pharmacological target. A strategy to increase HSP70 levels inside the cells is the application of recombinant HSP70. However, cell permeability and functionality of these exogenously applied proteins inside the cells is still disputable. Here, using fluorescence- labeled HSP70, we have studied permeability and distribution of HSP70 inside primary neurons and astrocytes, and how exogenous HSP70 changes mitochondrial metabolism and mitophagy. We have found that exogenous recombinant HSP70 can penetrate the neurons and astrocytes and distributes in mitochondria, lysosomes and in lesser degree in the endoplasmic reticulum. HSP70 increases mitochondrial membrane potential in control neurons and astrocytes, and in fibroblasts of patients with familial Parkinson´s disease (PD) with PINK1 and LRRK2 mutations. Increased mitochondrial membrane potential was associated with higher mitochondrial ROS production and activation of mitophagy. Importantly, preincubation of the cells with HSP70 protected neurons and astrocytes against cell death in a toxic model of PD induced by rotenone, and in the PINK1 and LRRK2 PD human fibroblasts. Thus, exogenous recombinant HSP70 is cell permeable, and acts as endogenous HSP70 protecting cells in the case of toxic model and familial forms of Parkinson’s Disease.
