background: heat shock proteins (hsps) are a family of proteins that are known to play a significant role in the repair of denatured proteins in the cell. it seems that cytoprotective properties of hsps may help in malignant progression by facilitating tumor cell growth and survival. the purpose of this study is to evaluate hsp27 and hsp70 expression in various histopathological grades of squam...

A role of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) as a potential biomarker has been reported in various tumour entities, but comprehensive studies in pancreatic cancer are lacking. Applying tissue microarray (TMA) analysis, we correlated HSP27 protein expression status with clinicopathologic parameters in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma specimens from 86 patients. Complementary, we established HSP27 ove...

Background: Molecular marker based cancer diagnosis gaining more attention in the current genomics era. So, Hspb1 and Tp53 gene characterization and their mRNA expression might be helpful in diagnosis andprognosis ofcat mammary adenocarcinoma. It will also add informationin comparative cancer genetics and genomics. Objectives: Eight tumors of Siamese cats were analyzed to ascertain germ-line an...

Objective(s):Hyperglycemia worsens the neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated that diabetic hyperglycemia suppressed the expression of heat shock protein 70 and 60 (HSP70 and 60) in the liver. IgG antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 (anti HSP27) were measured to determine whether hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain damage by suppressing the exp...

Objectives:The expression levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs) are elevated in many cancers, and this overexpression is often associated with both a poor survival and a therapeutic outcome. Curcumin is an anti-cancer agent that also induces a heat shock response. HSPs confer resistance to curcumin-induced apoptosis in cancerous cells. The aim of the current study was to analyze variations in th...

BACKGROUND Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, the most common hereditary peripheral neuropathy, is highly clinically and genetically heterogeneous, and mutations in at least 18 genes have been identified. Recently, mutations in small heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) were reported to cause CMT disease type 2F and distal hereditary motor neuropathy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency and pheno...

The expression of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) as a chaperone protein, is increased in response to various stress stimuli such as anticancer chemotherapy. This phenomenon can lead to survive of the cells and causes drug resistance. In this study, a series of methanesulfonamide derivatives as dual Hsp27 and tubulin inhibitors in the treatment of cancer were applied to quantitative structure–act...

The heat shock protein 27-kDa (HSP27) has been found overexpressed in several types of human cancer and is associated with treatment resistance and poor prognosis. Recent proteomic studies demonstrate that HSP27 is significantly overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between HSP27 expression and patient prognosis remains nascent. In the present study, we aimed to in...

BACKGROUND/AIM Heat-shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low molecular weight stress protein, is recognized as a molecular chaperone. The expression of HSP27 has been detected in some human tumors and while HSP27 is phosphorylated as a reresponse to stress, the function of phosphorylated HSP27 (p-HSP27) is not known. The aim of this study was to investigate what kind of effect expression of HSP27 and p-...
