On the role of Hsp27 in regulating apoptosis

Concannon, C. G., Gorman, A. M., Samali, A.·2003·Apoptosis

Abstract

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) comprise several different families of proteins that are induced in response to a wide variety of physiological and environmental insults. One such protein which is highly induced during the stress response is a 27-kDa protein, termed Hsp27 whose expression is seen to correlate with increased survival in response to cytotoxic stimuli. It has been shown to prevent cell death by a wide variety of agents that cause apoptosis. Hsp27 is a molecular chaperone with an ability to interact with a large number of proteins. Recent evidence has shown that Hsp27 regulates apoptosis through an ability to interact with key components of the apoptotic signalling pathway, in particular, those involved in caspase activation and apoptosis. This article will review recent advances in the field and will address some of the potential mechanisms by which Hsp27 functions as an anti-apoptotic molecule.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Three genes overlapped between the microglial and astrocyte factors that were not part of consensus mouse gene lists (UBC, DDIT4 and HSPB1), and these are part of cellular stress and damage response machinery.

    “Finally, there were three genes that overlapped between the microglial and astrocyte factors that were not a part of consensus mouse gene lists (UBC, DDIT4 and HSPB1), but which unsurprisingly are also part of cellular stress and damage response machinery52–55.”

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.
