Cadmium stress proteins, effect

Data generated from a study of lead-induced synthesis of stress proteins illustrated that different metals have both common and individual effects on expression of stress proteins. Lead-induced stress protein synthesis was unusual in that it did not share the properties of metals, such as cadmium and arsenite, to mimic the effects of heat (Shelton et al. 1986). Rather, lead induced two minor classes of proteins. In this study, exposure of primary rat kidney epithelial cells and rat fibroblasts to lead glutamate induced synthesis of two grps and a protein of 32 kDa, which was shown to... 

A considerable number of stress protein inducers, such as cadmium, ethanol, and sodium arsenite, are as effective as heat in conditioning the cell to become thermotolerant. This type of tolerance, where the inducing and stress stimulus are different, is termed cross-tolerance. Induction of cross-...
