We have taken advantage of the unique properties of nucleated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) red blood cells (rbcs) to demonstrate that beta-adrenergic stimulation with the agonist, isoproterenol, significantly enhanced the heat-induced induction of heat-shock proteins (Hsps) in trout rbcs without affecting hsp expression on its own. Furthermore, this beta-adrenergic potentiation of hsp expression occurred only at physiologically relevant concentrations of adrenergic stimulation. In further experiments, we found that adrenaline increased 100-fold and noradrenaline increased 50-fold in trout after a 1-h heat shock at 25 degrees C, approximately 12 degrees C above acclimation temperature. This is the first time the adrenergic heat-shock response has been described for a temperate fish species. We conclude that beta-adrenergic stimulation enhances hsp expression in trout rbcs following heat stress, indicating physiological regulation of the cellular stress response in fish.

D008297 Male Males
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

D004900 Erythroblasts Immature, nucleated ERYTHROCYTES occupying the stage of ERYTHROPOIESIS that follows formation of ERYTHROID PRECURSOR CELLS and precedes formation of RETICULOCYTES. The normal series is called normoblasts. Cells called MEGALOBLASTS are a pathologic series of erythroblasts.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
