Modulation of Alloimmunity by Heat Shock Proteins
The immunological mechanisms that evolved for host defense against pathogens and injury are also responsible for transplant rejection. Host rejection of foreign tissue was originally thought to be mediated mainly by T cell recognition of foreign MHC alleles. Management of solid organ transplant rejection has thus focused mainly on inhibition of T cell function and matching MHC alleles between d...
متن کاملHDAC 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 کاملRole of Heat Shock Protein 70 in Innate Alloimmunity
This article briefly describes our own experience with the proven demonstration of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in reperfused renal allografts from brain-dead donors and reflects about its potential role as a typical damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) in the setting of innate alloimmunity. In fact, our group was able to demonstrate a dramatic up-regulation of HSP70 expression after pos...
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.
The enhanced synthesis of a few proteins immediately after subjecting cells to a stress such as heat shock was first reported for drosophila cells in 1974 (l), and the universality of the response from bacteria to human was recognized shortly thereafter (reviewed in Ref. 2). In the ensuing 16 years, a vast literature has accumulated that describes a wide variety of events in a cell’s response t...
