The heat shock protein (HSP) 27 is constitutively expressed at low
levels in medium-sized lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells in adult
rats. Transection of the sciatic nerve results in a ninefold
upregulation of HSP27 mRNA and protein in axotomized neurons in the
ipsilateral DRG at 48 hr, without equivalent changes in the mRNAs
encoding HSP56, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90. Dorsal rhizotomy, injuring the
central axon of the DRG neuron, does not upregulate HSP27 mRNA levels.
After peripheral axotomy, HSP27 mRNA and protein are present in small,
medium, and large DRG neurons, and HSP27 protein is transported
anterogradely, accumulating in the dorsal horn and dorsal columns of
the spinal cord, where it persists for several months. Axotomized motor
neurons also upregulate HSP27. Only a minority of cultured adult DRG
neurons are HSP27-immunoreactive soon after dissociation, but all
express HSP27 after 24 hr in culture with prominent label
throughout the neuron, including the growth cone. HSP27 differs from
most axonal injury-regulated and growth-associated genes, which are
typically present at high levels in early development and downregulated
on innervation of their targets, in that its mRNA is first detectable
in the DRG late in development and only approaches adult levels by
postnatal day 21. In non-neuronal cells, HSP27 has been shown to be
involved both in actin filament dynamics and in protection against
necrotic and apoptotic cell death. Therefore, its upregulation after
adult peripheral nerve injury may both promote survival of the injured neurons and contribute to alterations in the cytoskeleton associated with axonal growth.
