We investigated the expression of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) at intermediate stages of a cutaneous tumor induced by UVB-irradiation stress (290-380 nm, max. 312 nm) using an immunostaining method. After 15-20 weeks of chronic exposure to UVB irradiation at a dose of 2 kJ/m2, HSP27 was found in the upper cell layers of bowenoid multilayers of epidermis, in areas of the lesions where normal stratification seems to be conserved. After 25 weeks, HSP27 was weakly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The HSP27 distribution patterns during cutaneous tumor progression resemble that of cytokeratin 10, a differentiation marker in keratinocytes. In SCC, a low degree of HSP27 expression was detected in the well-differentiated carcinomatous areas, but not in the poorly differentiated areas. These results indicate that the level of HSP27 decreases significantly as epithelial carcinoma growth progresses upon UVB-exposure. The expression of HSP27 may be associated with the onset of skin keratinocyte differentiation, but not with progression of SCC.

Hsp70, Hsp90, and ClpB/Hsp100 are molecular chaperones that help regulate proteostasis. Bacterial and yeast Hsp70s and their cochaperones function synergistically with Hsp90s to reactivate inactive and aggregated proteins by a mechanism that requires a direct interaction between Hsp90 and Hsp70 both in vitro and in vivo. and yeast Hsp70s also collaborate in bichaperone systems with ClpB and Hsp104, respectively, to disaggregate and reactivate aggregated proteins and amyloids such as prions.

Mammalian J-domain protein DNAJC9 interacts with histones H3-H4 and is important for cell proliferation. However, its exact function remains unclear. Here, we show that, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, loss of Djc9, the ortholog of DNAJC9, renders the histone chaperone Asf1 no longer essential for growth.

Heat-stress-induced oxidative and inflammatory responses were important factors contributing to chicken intestinal damage. The purpose of this study was based on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Physalis Calyx seu Fructus (Jin Deng Long, JDL) to investigate its efficacy and mechanism in relieving chicken heat stress damage. Primary chicken embryo duodenum cells and 90 30-day-old specific-pathogen-free chicken were randomly divided into control and JDL groups to establish heat stress models and .

Oxidative stress-associated proximal tubular cells (PTCs) damage is an important pathogenesis of hypertensive renal injury. We previously reported the protective effect of VEGFR3 in salt-sensitive hypertension. However, the specific mechanism underlying the role of VEGFR3 in kidney during the overactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system remains unclear.

Background And Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly immunogenic tumor and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with an increasing incidence. Therefore, the combination of immunotherapy with other approaches, such as anti-angiogenic agents and local area therapy, has become a new strategy for HCC treatment.
Methods: We searched PubMed and Web of Science and extracted publications relating to the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and immunotherapy.
