Human peripheral blood monocytes became apoptotic following phagocytosis ofStaphylococcus aureus . The consequences of heat stress for monocytes were studied with regard to the effect onS. aureus -induced apoptosis. Exposure of monocytes to 41.5°C for 1 h resulted in HSP72 expression and had no influence on phagocytosis of bacteria; moreover, phagocytosis ofS. aureus immediately or shortly after heat shock had no effect on theS. aureus -induced monocyte apoptosis, as evidenced by DNA fragmentation assay. In contrast, cells which recovered from heat shock for 18 to 24 h, although active as phagocytes, were resistant to theS. aureus -induced apoptosis. The observed protective effect was related to the induction of HSP72, since blocking of HSP72 synthesis by an antisense oligomer abolished the protective effect of heat shock on bacterium-induced monocyte apoptosis.
