Hsp90α and cell death in cancers: a review
Abstract
Heat shock protein 90α (Hsp90α), an important molecular chaperone, plays a crucial role in regulating the activity of various intracellular signaling pathways and maintaining the stability of various signaling transduction proteins. In cancer, the expression level of Hsp90α is often significantly upregulated and is recognized as one of the key factors in cancer cell survival and proliferation. Cell death can help achieve numerous purposes, such as preventing aging, removing damaged or infected cells, facilitating embryonic development and tissue repair, and modulating immune response. The expression of Hsp90α is closely associated with specific modes of cell death including apoptosis, necrotic apoptosis, and autophagy-dependent cell death, etc. This review discusses the new results on the relationship between expression of Hsp90α and cell death in cancer. Hsp90α is frequently overexpressed in cancer and promotes cancer cell growth, survival, and resistance to treatment by regulating cell death, rendering it a promising target for cancer therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
