Heat Shock Proteins Promote Cancer: It's a Protection Racket

Open access
Calderwood, Stuart K., Gong, Jianlin·2016·Trends in Biochemical Sciences

Abstract

Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) are expressed at high levels in cancer and form a fostering environment essential for tumor development. We have reviewed the recent data in this area, concentrating mainly on Hsp27, Hsp70 and Hsp90. The overriding role of the HSPs in cancer is to stabilize the active functions of overexpressed and mutated cancer gene. Elevated HSPs are thus required for many of the traits that underlie the morbidity of cancer, including increased growth, survival and formation of secondary cancers. In addition, HSPs participate in the evolution of cancer treatment resistance. HSPs are also released from cancer cells and influence malignant properties by receptor- mediated signaling. Current data strongly support efforts to target HSPs in cancer treatment.

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.
