Introduction Heat shock proteins (HSPs) that first described in Drosophila melanogaster [1], are evolutionarily conserved protein fami- lies which are ubiquitous in all eukaryotic organisms. HSPs are essential for cells under both normal and stressed con- ditions as they participate in diverse processes ranging from cellular homeostasis and signal transduction to development [2]. In addition, HSPs also play key roles in defense responses against various environmental stresses that could potentially damage the cellular and molecular structures in the cells [3]. erefore, HSPs are highly expressed in all organisms and are one of the most abundant proteins, contributing to 1- 2% of total cellular proteins under normal conditions [4]. According to molecular weight, HSPs are mainly classified into six families including HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, HSP90, HSP100, and the small HSPs [5]. Among HSP families, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is highly conserved member. It is confirmed to locate in different cellular compartments including the chloroplasts, mitochondria, cytosol, nucleoplasm, and endoplasmic retic- ulum [6]. Under normal conditions, HSP90’s diverse roles in biological processes include regulating cellular physiology, signal transduction, and protein folding, degradation, and transportation [2, 79]. And it also can be regulated by vari- ous environmental stresses such as heat, salinity, desiccation, light, heavy metal, and arsenite stresses [1013]. Influenced by cyclic tide, algae mainly living in intertidal zone are periodically exposed to a variety of potentially stressful factors including heat or cold shock, high light, and desiccation [14]. To understand the resistant mechanism, the expression of HSPs genes have been investigated in some macroalgae such as Chondrus, Porphyra, Undaria, Laminaria, Saccharina, Fucus, and Ulva [1522] and a few microalgae Hindawi Publishing Corporation BioMed Research International Volume 2014, Article ID 487050, 11 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/487050

1 Introduction

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) that first described inDrosophilamelanogaster [1] are evolutionarily conserved protein fami-lies which are ubiquitous in all eukaryotic organisms HSPsare essential for cells under both normal and stressed con-ditions as they participate in diverse processes ranging fromcellular homeostasis and signal transduction to development[2] In addition HSPs also play key roles in defense responsesagainst various environmental stresses that could potentiallydamage the cellular and molecular structures in the cells [3]Therefore HSPs are highly expressed in all organisms andare one of the most abundant proteins contributing to 1-2 of total cellular proteins under normal conditions [4]According to molecular weight HSPs are mainly classifiedinto six families including HSP40 HSP60 HSP70 HSP90HSP100 and the small HSPs [5]

Among HSP families heat shock protein 90 (HSP90)is highly conserved member It is confirmed to locate indifferent cellular compartments including the chloroplastsmitochondria cytosol nucleoplasm and endoplasmic retic-ulum [6] Under normal conditions HSP90rsquos diverse rolesin biological processes include regulating cellular physiologysignal transduction and protein folding degradation andtransportation [2 7ndash9] And it also can be regulated by vari-ous environmental stresses such as heat salinity desiccationlight heavy metal and arsenite stresses [10ndash13]

Influenced by cyclic tide algae mainly living in intertidalzone are periodically exposed to a variety of potentiallystressful factors including heat or cold shock high light anddesiccation [14] To understand the resistant mechanism theexpression of HSPs genes have been investigated in somemacroalgae such asChondrusPorphyraUndaria LaminariaSaccharina Fucus and Ulva [15ndash22] and a few microalgae

such as Chlamydomonas and Haematococcus [23ndash27] Thesestudies indicate that the algal HSPs centrally function inresisting a wide variety of environmental stressors

Chlorella vulgaris is a unicellular green alga growing infresh water [28] It can be used as live feed in fish aquaculturefor its high content of proteins and fatty acids In additionbecause of its fast growth and low cost C vulgaris becomes apromising candidate bioreactor for large-scale production ofvalue-added proteins [29]C vulgarishas important econom-ical and ecological values but often confronts environmentaladversities including high temperature and high salinityTherefore it is often used as a eukaryotic model in studieson stress responses [30] However the role of HSPs inadverse stress resistance mechanism of C vulgaris is yet tobe performed

To better understand the mechanism of response byC vulgaris to different types of environmental stimulationwe obtained a HSP90 complementary DNA (cDNA) of Cvulgaris by combining homology cloning with rapid amplifi-cation of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches analyzed in bioin-formatics the structural features homologous relationshipand phylogenetic position of CvHSP90 and investigatedthe messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of CvHSP90under different stress conditions using real-time quantitativeRT-PCR (qRT-PCR)

31 cDNA Cloning and Sequencing of CvHSP90 Gene ACvHSP90 fragment (745 bp) was amplified by homologouscloning primers P1 and P2 and confirmed highly similarto other known HSP90s Two pairs of CvHSP90-specificprimers (P3-P4 and P5-P6) that designed in the abovesequencewere used to clone the full-length cDNA RACE andnested PCR were performed to amplify the two fragmentscorresponding to the 31015840 and 51015840 end of the CvHSP90 cDNAThe full-length cDNA sequence of CvHSP90 was determined3678 bp by cluster analysis of the above fragments

32 Characterization of CvHSP90 The cDNA sequenceof CvHSP90 was submitted in GenBank under accessionnumber JQ655149 The full-length cDNA of CvHSP90 was3678 bp with a 107 bp 51015840 untranslated region (51015840UTR) a1459-bp 31015840 untranslated region (31015840UTR) with a poly (A)tail and a 2112 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding apolypeptide that contained 703 amino acids with estimatedmolecular mass of 8071 kDa and an estimated isoelectricpoint of 448 The five typical amino acid blocks of HSP90protein family (NKEIFLRE[LI]ISN[AS]SDALDKIRLGTIARSGT IGQFGVGFYSAYLVA[ED] IKLYVRRVFIG[VI]VDSEDLPLNISRE) and the consensus MEEVD atthe C-terminus were highly conserved as indicated in theCvHSP90 sequence (Figure 1) [34] Meanwhile SMARTprogram revealed a typical histidine kinase-like ATPasesdomain in the position 27-182 which is ubiquitous in allHSP90 family members

33 Homology Analysis of CvHSP90 Shown by Clustal Wprogram the deduced amino acid sequence of CvHSP90shared high homology with those of other known HSP90s(Figure 2) For example CvHSP90 shared 85 similar-ity to Micromonas sp RCC299 HSP90 (XP 002499727)and Micromonas sp RCC299 HSP90 (XP 002499727) 79similarity to Haematococcus pluvialis HSP90 (JN627245)Chlamydomonas reinhardtii HSP90 (XP 001695264) andVolvox carteri f nagariensis HSP90 (XP 002947115) and78 similarity to Pennisetum glaucum HSP90 (ADP89125)Hordeum vulgare HSP90 (BAJ86355) Triticum aestivumHSP90 (ADF31758) Triticum urartu HSP90 (ADF31773)Vitis viniferaHSP90 (CAN62488) andThellungiella halophilaHSP90 (BAJ33984) and so forth (Table 2) Multiple sequencealignment exhibited high conservation between CvHSP90and other known HSP90 proteins especially in the regionsof HSP90 family signatures (Figure 2)

To evaluate the molecular evolutionary relationshipsof CvHSP90 against other HSP90s a phylogenetic treebased on the protein sequences (Figure 3) was constructedby neighbor-joining method In the phylogenetic tree theHSP90s are clustered into two major groups in the Strep-tophyta and Chlorophyta origin CvHSP90 is clusteredfirst with HSP90 from Mamiellophyceae (Micromonas spRCC299 and Micromonas pusilla CCMP1545) and thenformed a sister group with those of Chlorophyta and furtherwith those of Streptophyta Relationships displayed in thephylogenic tree agree in overall with traditional taxonomy

34 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different HeatShock Temperatures The expression level of CvHSP90 wasinvestigated by real-time quantitative PCR under differentstressful conditions As the optimal growth temperature forC vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C different heat shock temperatures (5ndash45∘C) was scheduled to study the mRNA expression levelsof CvHSP90 (Figure 4) In 20∘C and 25∘C treatment groupsthe expression levels of CvHSP90 were relatively low while in5∘C and 35∘C treatment groups were almost 25-fold of that in20∘C group (119875 lt 005)The highest expression level (3-fold ofthat in 20∘Cgroup)was determined at 40∘C for 1 h (119875 lt 001)

35 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 at Different Heat ShockTimes In this study we found that a long time (over 8 h)exposure at over 40∘Cwould be fatal toC vulgarisTherefore

the organism was kept at 35∘C for different hours to findthe impact of different heat shock times on the expressionlevel of CvHSP90 As shown in Figure 5 in 35∘C CvHSP90mRNA expression level increased gradually and reached themaximum (42-fold of that of blank group) at 7 h (119875 lt 001)and then declined progressively to the original level at 12 hUnder a heat shock the expression level of CvHSP90 wasobserved significantly different at 1 2 3 4 5 8 and 9 h fromthat of the blank group (119875 lt 005)

36 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different Salt Con-centrations The expression levels of CvHSP90 at differentsalt concentrations for 2 h were detected (Figure 6) Theexpression level of CvHSP90 at 10 15 20 and 30 in salinity

proteins and signal transduction [2 9 35] In macroalgae theexpression of the HSP genes has been investigated in severalgenus as they usually live in intertidal zone which character-ized by regular and extreme changes in abiotic conditionsbased on tidal influence [14] However the studies of HSP90in algae are relatively limited [21 27] Chlorella vulgarisas an important economical species is also an importantmodel species in studies on stress responses [30] Therefore

the role of Chlorella vulgaris HSP90 (designated CvHSP90)in response to adverse environment was investigated in thiswork

In photosynthetic eukaryotes Hsp90 family proteinsare divided into five types with localization in differentcellular compartments including nucleoplasm chloroplastsmitochondria ER and cytoplasm [6] Sequence analysis ofthe deduced AA sequence showed that CvHSP90 contains

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

such as Chlamydomonas and Haematococcus [23ndash27] Thesestudies indicate that the algal HSPs centrally function inresisting a wide variety of environmental stressors

Chlorella vulgaris is a unicellular green alga growing infresh water [28] It can be used as live feed in fish aquaculturefor its high content of proteins and fatty acids In additionbecause of its fast growth and low cost C vulgaris becomes apromising candidate bioreactor for large-scale production ofvalue-added proteins [29]C vulgarishas important econom-ical and ecological values but often confronts environmentaladversities including high temperature and high salinityTherefore it is often used as a eukaryotic model in studieson stress responses [30] However the role of HSPs inadverse stress resistance mechanism of C vulgaris is yet tobe performed

To better understand the mechanism of response byC vulgaris to different types of environmental stimulationwe obtained a HSP90 complementary DNA (cDNA) of Cvulgaris by combining homology cloning with rapid amplifi-cation of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches analyzed in bioin-formatics the structural features homologous relationshipand phylogenetic position of CvHSP90 and investigatedthe messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of CvHSP90under different stress conditions using real-time quantitativeRT-PCR (qRT-PCR)

2 Materials and Methods

21 Sample Collection and Treatment Chlorella vulgaris waspresented from Institute of Oceanology Chinese Academyof Sciences and then the Chlorella was grown in Erlen-meyer flasks in F2 medium that was filter-sterilized through022120583m filters (Millipore USA) Cultures in liquid mediumor on plate were grown at 20∘C in an artificial climateincubator Cool-white fluorescent tubes were used to provideirradiance at 200120583mol photons mminus2 sminus1 in a long-daylightscheme (12 12 h light dark)

In additionC vulgariswas kept in 40∘C for 1 h for extract-ing total RNA and cloning full-length cDNA of CvHSP90gene In our heat shock temperature treatment C vulgariswas kept in different temperatures (5 10 15 20 25 30 3540 and 45∘C) for 1 h to investigate the thermal effect onthe expression level of CvHSP90 mRNA In heat shock timetreatment C vulgaris was kept at 35∘C for different times(0 h 1 h 2 h 3 h 4 h 5 h 6 h 7 h 8 h 9 h 10 h 11 h and12 h resp) to investigate the effects of heat shock times onexpression level of CvHSP90 mRNA In salt concentrationchallenge treatments C vulgariswas kept at 20∘C in differentsalt concentrations (0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 and 45in permil) for 2 h to investigate the effects of salt challenges onexpression level of CvHSP90

22 RNA Extraction Total RNA extraction from C vulgariswas performed using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) ThecDNA first-strand was synthesized based on M-MLV RTusage information (Promega) using RQI DNase (Promega)-treated total RNA as template cDNA mix was diluted to1 50 and stored atminus80∘C for subsequent fluorescent real-timePCR

23 CvHSP90 cDNACloning To amplify the partial fragmentof CvHSP90 gene from Chlorella vulgaris two homologouscloning primers P1 and P2 were designed based on theconserved sequence of known HSP90s (Table 1) PCR wasperformed in a 25120583L reaction volume containing 25120583L 10XPCR buffer 2120583L dNTP (25mmol Lminus1) 1 120583L of each primer(10 120583mol Lminus1) 02 120583L (1U) of Taq polymerase (Promega) 1120583Lof cDNA template and 173 120583L of PCR-grade water The PCRtemperature profile was 94∘C for 5min followed by 33 cyclesof 94∘C for 1min 56∘C for 1min 72∘C for 1min and a finalextension step at 72∘C for 10min The interesting fragment(745 bp) was excised and purified as per agarose gel DNAfragment recovery kit (TaKaRa) cloned into pMD-18T vector(TaKaRa) and sequenced (Sangon Shanghai China)

To clone the full-length cDNA of CvHSP90 four specificprimers sense primers P3 and P4 and reverse primers P5and P6 (Table 1) were designed based on the partial sequenceamplified Nested PCR strategy was applied to clone the 31015840end of CvHSP90 using sense primer P3 P4 and reverseprimer adapter while sense primer oligo(dG)-adaptor andreverse primer P5 P6 were used to obtain the 51015840 end ofCvHSP90 PCR amplification was performed using the samereaction system as described before The PCR productswere cloned into the pMD18-T simple vector (TaKaRa) andsequenced bidirectionally with primers M13-47 and RV-M(Table 1) The sequencing results were verified for clusteranalysis

24 Sequence Analysis of CvHSP90 CvHSP90 cDNAsequence was analyzed in the BLAST algorithm at NationalCentre for Biotechnology Information (httpwwwncbinlmnihgovblast) and the deduced amino acid sequence wasanalyzed with the Expert Protein Analysis System (httpwwwexpasyorg) Characteristic domains or motifs wereidentified using the PROSITE profile database Identitysimilarity and gap percentages were calculated usingFASTA program The Clustal W program (httpwwwebiacukclustalw) was used for multiple alignment of CvHSP90An unrooted phylogenetic tree was constructed accordingto amino acid sequences of the selected HSP90 by usingthe neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm embedded in MEGA31 program (httpwwwmegasoftwarenet) [31] and theprograms of Clustal X 183 [32] The bootstrap trials werereplicated 1000 times to derive the confidence value for thephylogeny analysis

25 Quantitative Analysis of CvHSP90 mRNA ExpressionmRNA expression level of CvHSP90 was investigated byreal-time PCR amplification on a fast real-time PCR system(Applied Biosystem 7500) A product of 150 bp from cDNAwas amplified by two CvHSP90 gene-specific primers P7 andP8 (Table 1) and the PCRproduct was sequenced to verify thespecificity of RT-PCR An internal control a 109 bp fragmentwas amplified by two 120573-actin primers The real-time PCRamplifications were carried out in a total volume of 20 120583Lmixture containing 10 120583L SYBR Premix Ex Taq (TaKaRaTokyo Japan) 2 120583L cDNA 04 120583L each forward and reverseprimer (10 120583molL) 04120583L ROX Reference Dye (50X) and68 120583L PCR-grade water The reactions conditions were 94∘Cfor 5min followed by 40 cycles of 5 s at 94∘C and 30 s at 60∘CFive independent biological replicateswere carried out At theend of each PCR reaction dissociation curve of ampliconwasanalyzed to confirm if only one PCR product was amplifiedand detected After the PCR program SDS software V201(Applied Biosystems) was used to analyze the data duringwhich a baseline was set automatically for consistency Theexpression level of CvHSP90 was analyzed by the 2minusΔΔCtmethod [33] All data were expressed as mean plusmn SE (119899 =5) in terms of relative mRNA Furthermore the data wereanalyzed by ANOVA (one-way analysis of variance) followedby an unpaired two-tailed t-test Difference was consideredsignificant at 119875 lt 005

3 Results

31 cDNA Cloning and Sequencing of CvHSP90 Gene ACvHSP90 fragment (745 bp) was amplified by homologouscloning primers P1 and P2 and confirmed highly similarto other known HSP90s Two pairs of CvHSP90-specificprimers (P3-P4 and P5-P6) that designed in the abovesequencewere used to clone the full-length cDNA RACE andnested PCR were performed to amplify the two fragmentscorresponding to the 31015840 and 51015840 end of the CvHSP90 cDNAThe full-length cDNA sequence of CvHSP90 was determined3678 bp by cluster analysis of the above fragments

32 Characterization of CvHSP90 The cDNA sequenceof CvHSP90 was submitted in GenBank under accessionnumber JQ655149 The full-length cDNA of CvHSP90 was3678 bp with a 107 bp 51015840 untranslated region (51015840UTR) a1459-bp 31015840 untranslated region (31015840UTR) with a poly (A)tail and a 2112 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding apolypeptide that contained 703 amino acids with estimatedmolecular mass of 8071 kDa and an estimated isoelectricpoint of 448 The five typical amino acid blocks of HSP90protein family (NKEIFLRE[LI]ISN[AS]SDALDKIRLGTIARSGT IGQFGVGFYSAYLVA[ED] IKLYVRRVFIG[VI]VDSEDLPLNISRE) and the consensus MEEVD atthe C-terminus were highly conserved as indicated in theCvHSP90 sequence (Figure 1) [34] Meanwhile SMARTprogram revealed a typical histidine kinase-like ATPasesdomain in the position 27-182 which is ubiquitous in allHSP90 family members

33 Homology Analysis of CvHSP90 Shown by Clustal Wprogram the deduced amino acid sequence of CvHSP90shared high homology with those of other known HSP90s(Figure 2) For example CvHSP90 shared 85 similar-ity to Micromonas sp RCC299 HSP90 (XP 002499727)and Micromonas sp RCC299 HSP90 (XP 002499727) 79similarity to Haematococcus pluvialis HSP90 (JN627245)Chlamydomonas reinhardtii HSP90 (XP 001695264) andVolvox carteri f nagariensis HSP90 (XP 002947115) and78 similarity to Pennisetum glaucum HSP90 (ADP89125)Hordeum vulgare HSP90 (BAJ86355) Triticum aestivumHSP90 (ADF31758) Triticum urartu HSP90 (ADF31773)Vitis viniferaHSP90 (CAN62488) andThellungiella halophilaHSP90 (BAJ33984) and so forth (Table 2) Multiple sequencealignment exhibited high conservation between CvHSP90and other known HSP90 proteins especially in the regionsof HSP90 family signatures (Figure 2)

To evaluate the molecular evolutionary relationshipsof CvHSP90 against other HSP90s a phylogenetic treebased on the protein sequences (Figure 3) was constructedby neighbor-joining method In the phylogenetic tree theHSP90s are clustered into two major groups in the Strep-tophyta and Chlorophyta origin CvHSP90 is clusteredfirst with HSP90 from Mamiellophyceae (Micromonas spRCC299 and Micromonas pusilla CCMP1545) and thenformed a sister group with those of Chlorophyta and furtherwith those of Streptophyta Relationships displayed in thephylogenic tree agree in overall with traditional taxonomy

34 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different HeatShock Temperatures The expression level of CvHSP90 wasinvestigated by real-time quantitative PCR under differentstressful conditions As the optimal growth temperature forC vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C different heat shock temperatures (5ndash45∘C) was scheduled to study the mRNA expression levelsof CvHSP90 (Figure 4) In 20∘C and 25∘C treatment groupsthe expression levels of CvHSP90 were relatively low while in5∘C and 35∘C treatment groups were almost 25-fold of that in20∘C group (119875 lt 005)The highest expression level (3-fold ofthat in 20∘Cgroup)was determined at 40∘C for 1 h (119875 lt 001)

35 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 at Different Heat ShockTimes In this study we found that a long time (over 8 h)exposure at over 40∘Cwould be fatal toC vulgarisTherefore

the organism was kept at 35∘C for different hours to findthe impact of different heat shock times on the expressionlevel of CvHSP90 As shown in Figure 5 in 35∘C CvHSP90mRNA expression level increased gradually and reached themaximum (42-fold of that of blank group) at 7 h (119875 lt 001)and then declined progressively to the original level at 12 hUnder a heat shock the expression level of CvHSP90 wasobserved significantly different at 1 2 3 4 5 8 and 9 h fromthat of the blank group (119875 lt 005)

36 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different Salt Con-centrations The expression levels of CvHSP90 at differentsalt concentrations for 2 h were detected (Figure 6) Theexpression level of CvHSP90 at 10 15 20 and 30 in salinity

proteins and signal transduction [2 9 35] In macroalgae theexpression of the HSP genes has been investigated in severalgenus as they usually live in intertidal zone which character-ized by regular and extreme changes in abiotic conditionsbased on tidal influence [14] However the studies of HSP90in algae are relatively limited [21 27] Chlorella vulgarisas an important economical species is also an importantmodel species in studies on stress responses [30] Therefore

the role of Chlorella vulgaris HSP90 (designated CvHSP90)in response to adverse environment was investigated in thiswork

In photosynthetic eukaryotes Hsp90 family proteinsare divided into five types with localization in differentcellular compartments including nucleoplasm chloroplastsmitochondria ER and cytoplasm [6] Sequence analysis ofthe deduced AA sequence showed that CvHSP90 contains

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

To clone the full-length cDNA of CvHSP90 four specificprimers sense primers P3 and P4 and reverse primers P5and P6 (Table 1) were designed based on the partial sequenceamplified Nested PCR strategy was applied to clone the 31015840end of CvHSP90 using sense primer P3 P4 and reverseprimer adapter while sense primer oligo(dG)-adaptor andreverse primer P5 P6 were used to obtain the 51015840 end ofCvHSP90 PCR amplification was performed using the samereaction system as described before The PCR productswere cloned into the pMD18-T simple vector (TaKaRa) andsequenced bidirectionally with primers M13-47 and RV-M(Table 1) The sequencing results were verified for clusteranalysis

24 Sequence Analysis of CvHSP90 CvHSP90 cDNAsequence was analyzed in the BLAST algorithm at NationalCentre for Biotechnology Information (httpwwwncbinlmnihgovblast) and the deduced amino acid sequence wasanalyzed with the Expert Protein Analysis System (httpwwwexpasyorg) Characteristic domains or motifs wereidentified using the PROSITE profile database Identitysimilarity and gap percentages were calculated usingFASTA program The Clustal W program (httpwwwebiacukclustalw) was used for multiple alignment of CvHSP90An unrooted phylogenetic tree was constructed accordingto amino acid sequences of the selected HSP90 by usingthe neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm embedded in MEGA31 program (httpwwwmegasoftwarenet) [31] and theprograms of Clustal X 183 [32] The bootstrap trials werereplicated 1000 times to derive the confidence value for thephylogeny analysis

25 Quantitative Analysis of CvHSP90 mRNA ExpressionmRNA expression level of CvHSP90 was investigated byreal-time PCR amplification on a fast real-time PCR system(Applied Biosystem 7500) A product of 150 bp from cDNAwas amplified by two CvHSP90 gene-specific primers P7 andP8 (Table 1) and the PCRproduct was sequenced to verify thespecificity of RT-PCR An internal control a 109 bp fragmentwas amplified by two 120573-actin primers The real-time PCRamplifications were carried out in a total volume of 20 120583Lmixture containing 10 120583L SYBR Premix Ex Taq (TaKaRaTokyo Japan) 2 120583L cDNA 04 120583L each forward and reverseprimer (10 120583molL) 04120583L ROX Reference Dye (50X) and68 120583L PCR-grade water The reactions conditions were 94∘Cfor 5min followed by 40 cycles of 5 s at 94∘C and 30 s at 60∘CFive independent biological replicateswere carried out At theend of each PCR reaction dissociation curve of ampliconwasanalyzed to confirm if only one PCR product was amplifiedand detected After the PCR program SDS software V201(Applied Biosystems) was used to analyze the data duringwhich a baseline was set automatically for consistency Theexpression level of CvHSP90 was analyzed by the 2minusΔΔCtmethod [33] All data were expressed as mean plusmn SE (119899 =5) in terms of relative mRNA Furthermore the data wereanalyzed by ANOVA (one-way analysis of variance) followedby an unpaired two-tailed t-test Difference was consideredsignificant at 119875 lt 005

3 Results

31 cDNA Cloning and Sequencing of CvHSP90 Gene ACvHSP90 fragment (745 bp) was amplified by homologouscloning primers P1 and P2 and confirmed highly similarto other known HSP90s Two pairs of CvHSP90-specificprimers (P3-P4 and P5-P6) that designed in the abovesequencewere used to clone the full-length cDNA RACE andnested PCR were performed to amplify the two fragmentscorresponding to the 31015840 and 51015840 end of the CvHSP90 cDNAThe full-length cDNA sequence of CvHSP90 was determined3678 bp by cluster analysis of the above fragments

32 Characterization of CvHSP90 The cDNA sequenceof CvHSP90 was submitted in GenBank under accessionnumber JQ655149 The full-length cDNA of CvHSP90 was3678 bp with a 107 bp 51015840 untranslated region (51015840UTR) a1459-bp 31015840 untranslated region (31015840UTR) with a poly (A)tail and a 2112 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding apolypeptide that contained 703 amino acids with estimatedmolecular mass of 8071 kDa and an estimated isoelectricpoint of 448 The five typical amino acid blocks of HSP90protein family (NKEIFLRE[LI]ISN[AS]SDALDKIRLGTIARSGT IGQFGVGFYSAYLVA[ED] IKLYVRRVFIG[VI]VDSEDLPLNISRE) and the consensus MEEVD atthe C-terminus were highly conserved as indicated in theCvHSP90 sequence (Figure 1) [34] Meanwhile SMARTprogram revealed a typical histidine kinase-like ATPasesdomain in the position 27-182 which is ubiquitous in allHSP90 family members

33 Homology Analysis of CvHSP90 Shown by Clustal Wprogram the deduced amino acid sequence of CvHSP90shared high homology with those of other known HSP90s(Figure 2) For example CvHSP90 shared 85 similar-ity to Micromonas sp RCC299 HSP90 (XP 002499727)and Micromonas sp RCC299 HSP90 (XP 002499727) 79similarity to Haematococcus pluvialis HSP90 (JN627245)Chlamydomonas reinhardtii HSP90 (XP 001695264) andVolvox carteri f nagariensis HSP90 (XP 002947115) and78 similarity to Pennisetum glaucum HSP90 (ADP89125)Hordeum vulgare HSP90 (BAJ86355) Triticum aestivumHSP90 (ADF31758) Triticum urartu HSP90 (ADF31773)Vitis viniferaHSP90 (CAN62488) andThellungiella halophilaHSP90 (BAJ33984) and so forth (Table 2) Multiple sequencealignment exhibited high conservation between CvHSP90and other known HSP90 proteins especially in the regionsof HSP90 family signatures (Figure 2)

To evaluate the molecular evolutionary relationshipsof CvHSP90 against other HSP90s a phylogenetic treebased on the protein sequences (Figure 3) was constructedby neighbor-joining method In the phylogenetic tree theHSP90s are clustered into two major groups in the Strep-tophyta and Chlorophyta origin CvHSP90 is clusteredfirst with HSP90 from Mamiellophyceae (Micromonas spRCC299 and Micromonas pusilla CCMP1545) and thenformed a sister group with those of Chlorophyta and furtherwith those of Streptophyta Relationships displayed in thephylogenic tree agree in overall with traditional taxonomy

Figure 1The full length cDNA sequence of CvHSP90 and its deduced amino acid sequenceThenucleotide and deduced amino acid sequenceof the open reading frame and flanking region were numbered on the left The start and stop codons were bold HSP90 signature motifs andcytosolic HSP90-specific motif were underlined

34 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different HeatShock Temperatures The expression level of CvHSP90 wasinvestigated by real-time quantitative PCR under differentstressful conditions As the optimal growth temperature forC vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C different heat shock temperatures (5ndash45∘C) was scheduled to study the mRNA expression levelsof CvHSP90 (Figure 4) In 20∘C and 25∘C treatment groupsthe expression levels of CvHSP90 were relatively low while in5∘C and 35∘C treatment groups were almost 25-fold of that in20∘C group (119875 lt 005)The highest expression level (3-fold ofthat in 20∘Cgroup)was determined at 40∘C for 1 h (119875 lt 001)

35 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 at Different Heat ShockTimes In this study we found that a long time (over 8 h)exposure at over 40∘Cwould be fatal toC vulgarisTherefore

the organism was kept at 35∘C for different hours to findthe impact of different heat shock times on the expressionlevel of CvHSP90 As shown in Figure 5 in 35∘C CvHSP90mRNA expression level increased gradually and reached themaximum (42-fold of that of blank group) at 7 h (119875 lt 001)and then declined progressively to the original level at 12 hUnder a heat shock the expression level of CvHSP90 wasobserved significantly different at 1 2 3 4 5 8 and 9 h fromthat of the blank group (119875 lt 005)

proteins and signal transduction [2 9 35] In macroalgae theexpression of the HSP genes has been investigated in severalgenus as they usually live in intertidal zone which character-ized by regular and extreme changes in abiotic conditionsbased on tidal influence [14] However the studies of HSP90in algae are relatively limited [21 27] Chlorella vulgarisas an important economical species is also an importantmodel species in studies on stress responses [30] Therefore

the role of Chlorella vulgaris HSP90 (designated CvHSP90)in response to adverse environment was investigated in thiswork

In photosynthetic eukaryotes Hsp90 family proteinsare divided into five types with localization in differentcellular compartments including nucleoplasm chloroplastsmitochondria ER and cytoplasm [6] Sequence analysis ofthe deduced AA sequence showed that CvHSP90 contains

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

Figure 1The full length cDNA sequence of CvHSP90 and its deduced amino acid sequenceThenucleotide and deduced amino acid sequenceof the open reading frame and flanking region were numbered on the left The start and stop codons were bold HSP90 signature motifs andcytosolic HSP90-specific motif were underlined

34 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different HeatShock Temperatures The expression level of CvHSP90 wasinvestigated by real-time quantitative PCR under differentstressful conditions As the optimal growth temperature forC vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C different heat shock temperatures (5ndash45∘C) was scheduled to study the mRNA expression levelsof CvHSP90 (Figure 4) In 20∘C and 25∘C treatment groupsthe expression levels of CvHSP90 were relatively low while in5∘C and 35∘C treatment groups were almost 25-fold of that in20∘C group (119875 lt 005)The highest expression level (3-fold ofthat in 20∘Cgroup)was determined at 40∘C for 1 h (119875 lt 001)

35 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 at Different Heat ShockTimes In this study we found that a long time (over 8 h)exposure at over 40∘Cwould be fatal toC vulgarisTherefore

the organism was kept at 35∘C for different hours to findthe impact of different heat shock times on the expressionlevel of CvHSP90 As shown in Figure 5 in 35∘C CvHSP90mRNA expression level increased gradually and reached themaximum (42-fold of that of blank group) at 7 h (119875 lt 001)and then declined progressively to the original level at 12 hUnder a heat shock the expression level of CvHSP90 wasobserved significantly different at 1 2 3 4 5 8 and 9 h fromthat of the blank group (119875 lt 005)

36 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different Salt Con-centrations The expression levels of CvHSP90 at differentsalt concentrations for 2 h were detected (Figure 6) Theexpression level of CvHSP90 at 10 15 20 and 30 in salinity

proteins and signal transduction [2 9 35] In macroalgae theexpression of the HSP genes has been investigated in severalgenus as they usually live in intertidal zone which character-ized by regular and extreme changes in abiotic conditionsbased on tidal influence [14] However the studies of HSP90in algae are relatively limited [21 27] Chlorella vulgarisas an important economical species is also an importantmodel species in studies on stress responses [30] Therefore

the role of Chlorella vulgaris HSP90 (designated CvHSP90)in response to adverse environment was investigated in thiswork

In photosynthetic eukaryotes Hsp90 family proteinsare divided into five types with localization in differentcellular compartments including nucleoplasm chloroplastsmitochondria ER and cytoplasm [6] Sequence analysis ofthe deduced AA sequence showed that CvHSP90 contains

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

Figure 1The full length cDNA sequence of CvHSP90 and its deduced amino acid sequenceThenucleotide and deduced amino acid sequenceof the open reading frame and flanking region were numbered on the left The start and stop codons were bold HSP90 signature motifs andcytosolic HSP90-specific motif were underlined

34 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different HeatShock Temperatures The expression level of CvHSP90 wasinvestigated by real-time quantitative PCR under differentstressful conditions As the optimal growth temperature forC vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C different heat shock temperatures (5ndash45∘C) was scheduled to study the mRNA expression levelsof CvHSP90 (Figure 4) In 20∘C and 25∘C treatment groupsthe expression levels of CvHSP90 were relatively low while in5∘C and 35∘C treatment groups were almost 25-fold of that in20∘C group (119875 lt 005)The highest expression level (3-fold ofthat in 20∘Cgroup)was determined at 40∘C for 1 h (119875 lt 001)

35 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 at Different Heat ShockTimes In this study we found that a long time (over 8 h)exposure at over 40∘Cwould be fatal toC vulgarisTherefore

the organism was kept at 35∘C for different hours to findthe impact of different heat shock times on the expressionlevel of CvHSP90 As shown in Figure 5 in 35∘C CvHSP90mRNA expression level increased gradually and reached themaximum (42-fold of that of blank group) at 7 h (119875 lt 001)and then declined progressively to the original level at 12 hUnder a heat shock the expression level of CvHSP90 wasobserved significantly different at 1 2 3 4 5 8 and 9 h fromthat of the blank group (119875 lt 005)

36 Expression Levels of CvHSP90 under Different Salt Con-centrations The expression levels of CvHSP90 at differentsalt concentrations for 2 h were detected (Figure 6) Theexpression level of CvHSP90 at 10 15 20 and 30 in salinity

proteins and signal transduction [2 9 35] In macroalgae theexpression of the HSP genes has been investigated in severalgenus as they usually live in intertidal zone which character-ized by regular and extreme changes in abiotic conditionsbased on tidal influence [14] However the studies of HSP90in algae are relatively limited [21 27] Chlorella vulgarisas an important economical species is also an importantmodel species in studies on stress responses [30] Therefore

the role of Chlorella vulgaris HSP90 (designated CvHSP90)in response to adverse environment was investigated in thiswork

In photosynthetic eukaryotes Hsp90 family proteinsare divided into five types with localization in differentcellular compartments including nucleoplasm chloroplastsmitochondria ER and cytoplasm [6] Sequence analysis ofthe deduced AA sequence showed that CvHSP90 contains

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

proteins and signal transduction [2 9 35] In macroalgae theexpression of the HSP genes has been investigated in severalgenus as they usually live in intertidal zone which character-ized by regular and extreme changes in abiotic conditionsbased on tidal influence [14] However the studies of HSP90in algae are relatively limited [21 27] Chlorella vulgarisas an important economical species is also an importantmodel species in studies on stress responses [30] Therefore

the role of Chlorella vulgaris HSP90 (designated CvHSP90)in response to adverse environment was investigated in thiswork

In photosynthetic eukaryotes Hsp90 family proteinsare divided into five types with localization in differentcellular compartments including nucleoplasm chloroplastsmitochondria ER and cytoplasm [6] Sequence analysis ofthe deduced AA sequence showed that CvHSP90 contains

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied

5 Conclusions

TheCvHSP90 gene can be expressed in response to challengesin thermal stress heat shock time and salinity In a stressfulenvironment changes in HSP90s expression level are moresensitive than those of growth rate death rate and reproduc-tive rate for monitoring environmental stresses ThereforeCvHSP90 can be used as a potential biomarker in practice tomonitor environment changes

Figure 6 CvHSP90 mRNA expression levels relative to 120573-actinmRNA levels under stress of different salt concentrations analyzedby real-time quantitative RT-PCR The 120573-actin gene was used as aninternal control to calibrate the cDNA template for all the samplesVertical bars represented the mean plusmn SE (119873 = 5) Significantdifferences across control were indicated with an asterisk at119875 lt 005and two asterisks at 119875 lt 001

It is a main character for almost all organisms studiedthat the maximum expression of HSPs is 10ndash15∘C aboveoptimum growth temperature [18] Moreover it has beenproved that the temperature treatment in the range 10ndash15∘Cbelow optimum growth temperature may also lead to themaximum expression of HSP90 [27] Given that the normalgrowing temperature range of C vulgaris is 20ndash25∘C inwhich the expression level of HSP90s is always low it can beexpected that the maximum CvHSP90 expression would bein the ranges of 35ndash40∘C and 5ndash10∘C which was consistentwith our results In macroalgae short time treatment intemperature higher than normal growth temperature caninduce the expression of HSPs which is upregulated byincreased thermal stresses and then decreased progressivelyafter the expression profile reached themaximum [37] In thiswork we observed that 45∘C treatment which is 15∘C overthe optimum temperature led to the decrease of CvHSP90expression which may be caused by immediate deactivationor strong inhibition of enzyme-related mRNA synthesisand expression in C vulgaris [19] Furthermore the time-dependent pattern of CvHSP90 expression in a heat shockwas observed In heat shock at 35∘C the expression increasedprogressively in 1 h and reached the maximum in 7 h andthen declined gradually Variance analysis indicated that theCvHSP90 gene expression in 6 or 7 hours after challengewas significantly higher (119875 lt 001) than those in other timepoints These results suggested that the CvHSP90 expressionis related to the response to thermal stress andheat shock timeand may play an important role in the mechanism againstthe adverse environmental stresses In natural environmentC vulgaris usually grows in salinity 20ndash30permil Its utilizationin wastewater treatment suggests that it is highly resistantto a range of salinity In this work the result showed thatthe mRNA expression levels of CvHSP90 varied with salinityand suggested its function in resistance to salinity stress Inaddition the CvHSP90 expression at different times under afixed level of salinity stress needs to be further studied
