HDAC Inhibitors and Heat Shock Proteins (Hsps)
Epigenetic alterations, including DNA acetylation, hypermethylation and hypomethylation, and the associated transcriptional changes of the affected genes are central to the evolution and progression of various human cancers, including pancreatic cancer. Cancer-associated epigenetic alterations are attractive therapeutic targets because such epigenetic alterations, unlike genetic changes, are po...
متن کاملHeat Shock Proteins and their clinical Implications
Knowledge of the physiological role of heat shock proteins is currently limited; however better understanding of their function and thereby the acquisition of the capacity to harness their power might lead to their use as therapeutic agents and revolutionize clinical practice in a number of areas. Future work is needed to translate the experimental data on the capacity of heat shock proteins to...
متن کاملHeat shock and the heat shock proteins.
As all biologists appreciate, there is constant interaction between life and the environment, and temperature plays a critical role. It establishes distribution limits, it affects rates of function as well as the survival of organisms. Notoriously sensitive to temperature is plant growth. Critical steps in plant life such as germination, flowering and breaking of dormancy can be manipulated by ...
متن کاملHeat Shock Proteins and Physiological Stress in Fish
SYNOPSIS. This paper reviews the generalized stress response in fish at the cellular and neuroendocrine levels. The focus of this review is to examine the possible relationships between the stress responses at these two levels in fish. It focuses primarily on the heat shock protein 70 (hsp70). Thus, the descriptions of the endocrine and the cellular stress responses are followed by a discussion...
متن کاملNature's molecular sponges: small heat shock proteins grow into their chaperone roles.
A lthough their better-known cousins, the Hsp70, Hsp90, and Cpn60 molecular chaperone families, have been the subjects of ever more detailed mechanistic scrutiny (1, 2), the small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) have remained mysterious and relatively understudied, even though they are ubiquitous and intimately linked to protein homeostasis and survival under stress conditions (3). There are severa...
