Modification by natural flavonoids quercetin and dihydroquercetin of the in vitro cell response to hyperthermal and chemical stress was studied. Quercetin completely inhibited the synthesis and intracellular accumulation of 70-kD heat shock protein (HSP70) in response to hyperthermia or to treatment with sodium arsenite, whereas dihydroquercetin in the same or higher doses had no such effect. Stress exposures under conditions of the quercetin-inhibited HSP70 expression significantly increased the percentage of dead and damaged cells compared to the same exposures in the absence of quercetin. On the contrary, dihydroquercetin virtually failed to increase the damage and death of the stress-exposed cells which displayed typical induction of HSP70. The findings suggest a new strategy for pharmacological use of these flavonoids with similar structure.
