Abstract 190: HSP27 is Sufficient and Required for Prevention of Tachycardia Induced Remodeling in a Cell Model for Tachypacing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We previously found evidence that heat shock protein (HSP) induction protects against the promotion of atrial fibrillation (AF) by atrial tachypacing-remodeling in dogs. In this study, we evaluated the effect of HSP induction in a tachypaced atrial cell-line (HL-1) model of tachycardia-remodeling. Methods: The effects of tachypacing HL-1 myocytes (3 Hz, 0 – 4 hrs) on Ca 2+ transients (CaT) and cell shortening (CS), were studied with and without HSP-inducing pre-treatments like mild heat shock (HS), or the non-toxic inducer geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), transient transfection of human HSP70, HSP27, a phosphorylation deficient mutant HSP27-AAA or the phospho-mimicking mutant HSP27-DDD. Knockdown of HSP27 was performed with short-hairpin forming siRNA. Results: In HL-1 myocytes, tachypacing significantly and progressively reduced CaT and CS after 4 hours (Fig A ). HSP induction by HS or GGA protected HL-1 myocytes against suppression of CaT and CS by 4 hours of tachypacing. Protective effects were also seen upon transfection with HSP27 and a phosphorylation-mimicking HSP27 mutant, but not by HSP70 or a non-phosphorylatable HSP27-mutant construct (Fig B ). Knockdown of HSP27 with shRNA prevented GGA-mediated protection (Fig C ). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that HSP27 induction protects against AF-promoting remodeling, that the protective effect requires HSP27 phosphorylation, and HSP27 is sufficient for protection. These findings advance our understanding of the biochemical determinants of the protective effects of HSP induction against atrial tachycardia remodeling.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
