Neuronal Diseases: Small Heat Shock Proteins Calm Your Nerves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mutations in HSPB1 and HSPB8, members of the small heat shock protein family, have recently been shown to cause some distal motor neuropathies. Their function in motor neurones is now under scrutiny.

Developmental expression of Drosophila melanogaster small heat-shock proteins.
We have investigated the developmental expression of the small heat-shock proteins (hsps) during embryogenesis and in adult flies by immunocytology using an antibody that specifically identifies the small hsps. Antibody staining of unstressed early embryos reveals a predominantly cytoplasmic, homogeneous distribution of the small hsps throughout the embryo. At 6h of development small hsp expres...
متن کاملHeat Shock Proteins Enriched-Promastigotes of Leishmania major Inducing Th2 Immune Response in BALB/c Mice
Background: Heat shock proteins (HSP) are highly conserved molecules with many immunological functions. They are highly immunogenic with important role in cancer immunotherapy and in vaccine development against infectious diseases. As adjuvant, HSP can augment the immunogenicity of weak antigens and can stimulate antigen presenting cells. Although vaccines have been successful for many infec...
متن کاملThe Small Heat Shock Protein HSP25/27 (HspB1) Is Abundant in Cultured Astrocytes and Associated with Astrocytic Pathology in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration
Filamentous tau-positive protein inclusions in neurons and glia are prominent features of a number of neurodegenerative disorders termed tauopathies. These inclusions are further characterized by the presence of heat shock proteins (HSPs). The group of small HSPs, namely, HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin, interact with the cytoskeleton, bind to nonnative proteins, and prevent their aggregation after...
متن کاملThe Relationship between the Expression of Small Heat-Shock Proteins and Suppression of OCT4B1
Background: OCT4B1, a variant of OCT4, is expressed in both cancer cells and tissues. This variant has a main role in the regulation of both apoptotic and stress (heat-shock proteins) pathways. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of OCT4B1 silencing on the expression of small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs)in three human tumor cell lines. Methods:...

Bacterial and viral triggers are suspected agents in the initial etiology of autoimmune diseases. There are some studies on the etiology of autoimmune disorders which have focused on streptococcal infection and a possible relation with microbial heat shock proteins (hsp) which show significant homology with human heat shock proteins. In addition, some serotypes of streptococci cross-react ...
