Recent studies have implicated heat shock proteins (HSP) and heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) in tumor progression. We have examined the role of HSF1 in the malignant phenotype of PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells. We have developed a dominant negative construct of HSF1 that antagonizes transcription from HSP promoters and results in the depletion of intracellular HSP 70. Our studies indicate that expression of DN-HSF1 dramatically alters the DNA content of PC-3 cells (derived from p53 null prostatic carcinoma) and inhibits aneuploidy in these cells. This effect is due to prolonged expression of DN-HSF1, and transient expression of the dominant negative factor from an inducible promoter failed to cause the effect. Inhibition of aneuploidy in p53 null PC-3 cells by DN-HSF1 expression was recapitulated by expression within the cells of wild type p53. Furthermore, cells expressing DN-HSF1 showed a profound inhibition in the development of aneuploidy when exposed to chemical agents that disrupt the mitotic spindle and prevent progression through metaphase. Inhibition of aneuploidy in PC-3 cells expressing DN-HSF1 was associated with delayed breakdown of cyclin B1 compared with controls, consistent with a role for wild type HSF1 in the regulation of cyclin B1 degradation, a key step in the control of mitosis. Our experiments therefore demonstrate that HSF1 plays a functional role in cancer cells under nonstress conditions and influences cell cycle behavior and progression through mitosis and promotes the development of the aneuploid state.
