BACKGROUND & AIMS: Mesalamine has many effects and is commonly used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. Because sodium salicylate, a related compound, modulates the heat shock protein (hsp72) response in nonepithelial cells, the possibility that mesalamine confers cell protection by increasing intestinal epithelial hsp72 expression was examined. METHODS: Rat intestinal IEC-18 cells were treated with 0.3-3 mmol/L mesalamine and thermally stressed (39 degrees C-42 degrees C) for 23 minutes. The effects of mesalamine on basal expression and the threshold and time course of hsp72 thermal induction were determined. RESULTS: Although mesalamine had no effects on the basal hsp72 expression or its thermal activation threshold in IEC-18 cells, it accelerated and augmented thermal induction of hsp72 within the first 2 hours of exposure. This was associated with a transient increase in heat shock factor-heat shock element binding and enhanced cellular protection against oxidant-induced injury. In contrast, both mesalamine and sodium salicylate have been shown to lower the thermal induction threshold but not to enhance the hsp72 response in HeLa cells. CONCLUSIONS: Mesalamine augments thermal induction of the intestinal epithelial hsp72 expression in a manner that differs from that in nonintestinal epithelial cells. This effect is accompanied by increased cellular protection against oxidant injury.
