The maximal cytoprotective function of the heat shock protein 27 is dependent on heat shock protein 70

The production of molecular clones of Toxoplasma gondii-derived heat shock protein 70 kDa

Toxoplasmosis is a common and widespread infection in humans and many other species of warm–blooded animals. Toxoplasma gondii-derived heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) may play an important role in the virulence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). In the present study, T. gondii Hsp70 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the DNA of the T. gondiitachyzoite RH strain through the use o...

Heat Shock Protein-70 Mediates the Cytoprotective Effect of Carbon Monoxide: Involvement of p38 MAPK and Heat Shock Factor-1

Effect of Trehalose on the Expression of Heat Shock Protein 70 Gene in PC12 Cells Treated with Hydrogen Peroxide

Background and purpose: Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including neurological disorders. In such stressful conditions, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) protects cells, thus its pharmacological induction can be protective. The disaccharide trehalose exhibits various beneficial effects, including antioxidative effect. However, its impact on HSP70 is not obvio...

Heat Shock Protein 70 in Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease that caused dementia which has no effective treatment. Growing evidence has demonstrated that AD is a "protein misfolding disorder" that exhibits common features of misfolded, aggregation-prone proteins and selective cell loss in the mature nervous system. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) attracts extensive attention worldwide, ...

Response and function of skeletal muscle heat shock protein 70.

In response to stress, cells produce a series of heat shock proteins (Hsps). One of the most prominent Hsps, is the 70 kDa Hsp (Hsp70). Hsp70 is a highly conserved and essential protein against stress. The skeletal muscle responds to a diverse group of stress signals namely, muscle contraction linked energy and milieu challenges, ischemia and exercise by producing Hsp70. The extent of this Hsp7...
