Fine-tuned control of stress priming and thermotolerance
2021
A common signature of cell adaptation to stress is the improved resistance upon priming by prior stress exposure. In the context of hyperthermia, priming or preconditioning with sublethal heat shock can be a useful tool to confer thermotolerance and competitive advantage to cells. In the present study, we develop a data-driven modeling framework that is simple and generic enough to capture a broad set of adaptation behaviors to heat stress at both molecular and cellular levels. The model recovers the main features of thermotolerance and clarifies the tradeoff principles which maximize the thermotolerance effect. It therefore provides an effective predictive tool to design preconditioning and fractionation hyperthermia protocols for therapeutic purpose.
