Here, we show that bats have elevated expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in various tissue and cell lines from two species, comparative sequence analysis of HSPs from ten bat species and that increased HSP expression in vitro confers survival of cells during prolonged heat stress. For kidney, we found that PaKiT03 (bat) cells expressed significantly higher amounts of HSP70 and HSP90A/B both at the mRNA (Fig. 2b-d) and protein levels (Fig. 2e) at 37°C compared to the MDCK (dog) and BHK (hamster) cells under normal conditions. The basal expression level of several HSP genes is genetically imprinted in vivo in live animal-derived tissues from two species of bat, with cultured cell lines displaying the same high expression. ./cache/cord-003757-uwbpbai7.txt ./txt/cord-003757-uwbpbai7.txt
