Abstract: This experiment was to study the effect of puerarin on the thermal stress induced HSP70 expression in pig renal tubular epithelial cell (LLC-PK1), and to selected the optimal concentration of puerarin for inducing HSP70 expression.The LLC-PK1 in its logarithmic growth period was selected and divided into 37 ℃ control group and 42 ℃ heat stress group.The heat stress group of cell was incubated with various concentrations (from 0.01-100 μmol/L) of puerarin before the heat stress treatment, and then the total RNA and protein of the cells were extracted and were detected by RT-PCR and Western Blot, respectively.The results showed that both thermal stress at 42 ℃ and puerarin with various concentrations significantly induced the HSP70 expression of LLC-PK1 (P<0.01), and HSP70 expression increased as the puerarin concentration increased in the culture medium.The relative expression of HSP70 in the heat stress group was the highest in the 10 μmol/L of puerarin group.The above results indicate that puerarin can induce HSP70 expression of LLC-PK1 under heat stress and this expressions increased as the puerarin concentration increased in the culture medium.

Key words: LLC-PK1, Puerarin, Heat stress, HSP70
