Pretreatment with phosphatase inhibitors did not affect the decrease in ATP content in endothelial cells, but inhibited HSP27 dephosphorylation and redistribution, damages to actin cytoskeleton, and morphological changes in cells. Our results suggest that inhibition of stress-induced HSP27 dephosphorylation protects cells from ischemia-induced damages.

Epidermal keratinocytes, forming the outermost layer of the human body, serve as a crucial barrier against diverse external stressors such as ultraviolet radiation. Proper keratinocyte differentiation and effective responses to external stimuli are pivotal for maintaining barrier integrity. Heat is one such stimulus that triggers the synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) when cells are exposed to temperatures above 42 °C.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare and aggressive B-cell lymphoma, against which current therapies usually fail. In the present study, we show that targeting HSPs, such as HSP27, HSP70 and HSP90, could be an efficient strategy to reduce PEL cell survival, as it induces strong DNA damage, which correlated with an impairment of DDR. Moreover, as HSP27, HSP70 and HSP90 cross talk with STAT3, their inhibition results in STAT3 de-phosphorylation and.

Arachidonic acid (AA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid present at high concentrations in the ovarian cancer (OC) microenvironment and associated with a poor clinical outcome. In the present study, we have unraveled a potential link between AA and macrophage functions. AA-triggered signal transduction was studied in primary monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) by phosphoproteomics, transcriptional profiling, measurement of intracellular Ca accumulation and reactive oxygen species production in conjunction with bioinformatic analyses.

Protein phosphorylation is a crucial post-translational modification that plays an important role in the regulation of cellular signaling processes. Site-specific quantitation of phosphorylation levels can help decipher the physiological functions of phosphorylation modifications under diverse physiological statuses. However, quantitative analysis of protein phosphorylation degrees is still a challenging task due to its dynamic nature and the lack of an internal standard simultaneously available for the samples differently prepared for various phosphorylation extents.
