Upregulation of HSP27 in a Transgenic Model of ALS [PDF]
Mutations of the SOD1 gene underlie 1 form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Their pathogenic mechanism remains uncertain, but is thought to involve oxidative stress and abnormal protein aggregation, 2 processes known to induce heat shock proteins (HSPs).

Amyloid aggregation of phosphorylated Tau (pTau) into neurofibrillary tangles is closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several molecular chaperones have been reported to bind Tau and impede its pathological aggregation.

Heat Shock Protein 27 Phosphorylation Regulates Tumor Cell Migration under Shear Stress
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is a multifunctional protein that undergoes significant changes in its expression and phosphorylation in response to shear stress stimuli, suggesting that it may be involved in mechanotransduction.

Ivermectin inhibits HSP27 and potentiates efficacy of oncogene targeting in tumor models.
HSP27 is highly expressed in, and supports oncogene addiction of, many cancers. HSP27 phosphorylation is a limiting step for activation of this protein and a target for inhibition, but its highly disordered structure challenges rational structure-guided ...

A Role for HSP27 in Sensory Neuron Survival [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury in neonatal rats results in the death of the majority of the axotomized sensory neurons by 7 d after injury. In adult animals, however, all sensory neurons survive for at least 4 months after axotomy. How sensory neurons acquire the capacity to survive axonal injury is not known.

Chronic over-expression of heat shock protein 27 attenuates atherogenesis and enhances plaque remodeling: a combined histological and mechanical assessment of aortic lesions. [PDF]
Expression of Heat Shock Protein-27 (HSP27) is reduced in human coronary atherosclerosis. Over-expression of HSP27 is protective against the early formation of lesions in atherosclerosis-prone apoE(-/-) mice (apoE(-/-)HSP27(o/e)) - however, only in ...

The small heat shock protein Hsp27 binds α-synuclein fibrils, preventing elongation and cytotoxicity
Proteostasis, or protein homeostasis, encompasses the maintenance of the conformational and functional integrity of the proteome and involves an integrated network of cellular pathways. Molecular chaperones, such as the small heat shock proteins (sHsps),

Overcoming HSP27-mediated resistance by altered dimerization of HSP27 using small molecules
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27, HSPB1) is an anti-apoptotic protein characterized for its tumorigenic and metastatic properties, and now referenced as a major therapeutic target in many types of cancer. The biochemical properties of HSP27 rely on a structural oligomeric and dynamic organization that is important for its chaperone activity.

Serum heat shock protein 27 levels predict cardiac mortality in hemodialysis patients
Background Decreased heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) participates in many processes that are involved in cardiovascular (CV) disease. The objective of the study was to evaluate if HSP27 level was predictive of mortality as well as to evaluate factors ...
