The Pathophysiological Role of Heat Shock Response in Autoimmunity: A Literature Review
Cells, 2021 Within the last two decades, there has been increasing evidence that heat-shock proteins can have a differential influence on the immune system. They can either provoke or ameliorate immune responses.

Neural functions of small heat shock proteins
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Stress response is a cellular widespread mechanism encoded by a common protein program composed by multiple cellular factors that converge in a defense reaction to protect the cell against damage. Among many mechanisms described, heat shock proteins were

Non-lethal heat shock increased Hsp70 and immune protein transcripts but not Vibrio tolerance in the white-leg shrimp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Non-lethal heat shock boosts bacterial and viral disease tolerance in shrimp, possibly due to increases in endogenous heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and/or immune proteins.

Heat shock proteins in health and disease: therapeutic targets or therapeutic agents? [PDF]
, 2001 For many years, heat shock or stress proteins have been regarded as intracellular molecules that have a range of housekeeping and cytoprotective functions, only being released into the extracellular environment in pathological situations such as necrotic

Non-specific protein modifications by a phytochemical induce heat shock response for self-defense. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Accumulated evidence shows that some phytochemicals provide beneficial effects for human health. Recently, a number of mechanistic studies have revealed that direct interactions between phytochemicals and functional proteins play significant roles in ...

Thermodynamics of Heat Shock Response [PDF]
, 1999 Production of heat shock proteins are induced when a living cell is exposed to a rise in temperature. The heat shock response of protein DnaK synthesis in E.coli for temperature shifts from temperature T to T plus 7 degrees, respectively to T minus 7 ...

Small heat-shock proteins: important players in regulating cellular proteostasis [PDF]
, 2015 Small heat-shock proteins (sHsps) are a diverse family of intra-cellular molecular chaperone proteins that play a critical role in mitigating and preventing protein aggregation under stress conditions such as elevated temperature, oxidation and infection.

Proteotoxic stress reprograms the chromatin landscape of SUMO modification [PDF]
, 2015 The small ubiquitin-like modifier 2 (SUMO-2) is required for survival when cells are exposed to treatments that induce proteotoxic stress by causing the accumulation of misfolded proteins.

Heat-shock pretreatment inhibits sorbitol-induced apoptosis in K562, U937 and HeLa cells. [PDF]
, 2009 The aim of this study was to determine whether heat-shock pretreatment exerted a protective effect against sorbitol-induced apoptotic cell death in K562, U937 and HeLa cell lines and whether such protection was associated with a decreased cytochrome c
