The metabolic potential of cells with elevated heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) content was examined by measuring unstimulated and glucocorticoid-stimulated glucose release in trout hepatocytes maintained in primary culture. Exposure of hepatocytes to either heat shock (HS;+15 degrees C) or sodium arsenite (50 microM) did not affect cell viability, but resulted in significantly higher hsp70 levels over a 24 h recovery period. Hsp70 accumulation had no significant impact on unstimulated glucose release, but completely abolished cortisol-induced glucose release in trout hepatocytes. This lack of glucocorticoid responsiveness corresponded with lower glucocorticoid receptor protein levels. Together, our results suggest that stressor-induced hsp70 accumulation, while important for maintaining cellular homeostasis, may impair metabolic adjustments to subsequent stressors in animals, especially those that are glucocorticoid-dependent.
