The regeneration of injured muscles is facilitated by intermittent heat stress. The 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72), the level of which is increased by heat stress, is likely involved in this effect, but the precise mechanism remains unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the localization and role(s) of HSP72 in the regenerating muscles in heat-stressed rats using immunohistochemistry. Heat stress was applied by immersion of the rat lower body into hot water (42C, 30 min, every other day) following injection of bupivacaine into the soleus muscles. After 1 week, we found that HSP72 was expressed at high levels not only in the surviving myofibers but also in the blood vessels of the regenerating muscles in heated rats. In addition, leukocytes, possibly granulocytes, expressing cluster of differentiation 43 within the blood capillaries surrounding the regenerating myofibers also highly expressed HSP72. In contrast, marked expression of HSP72 was not observed in the intact or regenerating muscles without heat stress. These results suggest that heat-stress-induced HSP72 within the myofibers, blood vessels, and circulating leukocytes may play important roles in enhancing regeneration of injured muscles by heat stress. Our findings would be useful to investigate cell-specific role(s) of HSP72 during skeletal muscle regeneration.
