Human neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have been termed "protein misfolding disorders." Upregulation of heat shock proteins that target misfolded aggregation-prone proteins has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy to counter neurodegenerative disorders. The heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family is well characterized for its cytoprotective effects against cell death and has been implicated in neuroprotection by overexpression studies. HSP70 family members exhibit sequence and structural conservation. The significance of the multiplicity of HSP70 proteins is unknown. In this study, coimmunoprecipitation was employed to determine if association of HSP70 family members occurs, including Hsp70B' which is present in the human genome but not in mouse and rat. Heteromeric complexes of Hsp70B', Hsp70, and Hsc70 were detected in differentiated human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Hsp70B' also formed complexes with Hsp40 suggesting a common co-chaperone for HSP70 family members.

Background: Heat shock proteins have been implicated in the process of carcinogenesis. HSPA14, a member of the heat shock protein family, remains poorly understood in terms of its significance and pathomechanisms in breast cancer.
Methods: We analyzed the expression levels of HSPA14 and its prognostic significance in breast cancer using TCGA data.

The heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family plays an important role in the growth and development of lettuce and in the defense response to high-temperature stress; however, its bioinformatics analysis in lettuce has been extremely limited. Genome-wide bioinformatics analysis methods such as chromosome location, phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, collinearity analysis, and promoter analysis were performed in the gene family, and the expression patterns in response to high-temperature stress were analyzed. The mechanism of in heat resistance in lettuce was studied by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and transient overexpression techniques.

There is an increasing awareness that B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated athanogene (BAG) proteins play critical roles in maintaining neural homeostasis, and that their dysregulation contributes to neurological disorders. This protein family of nine members is evolutionarily conserved, with each member having at least one BAG domain that binds to the nucleotide-binding domains of Heat Shock Protein (Hsp) 70 family members. Collectively, these proteins are essential for the proper functioning of the central nervous system (CNS).

Purpose: The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing in recent years, and monotherapy approaches are not sufficient alone in the treatment of breast cancer. In the combined therapy approach, combining two or three different agents in lower doses can mitigate the side effects on living cells and tissues caused by high doses of chemical agents used alone. ABT-263 (navitoclax), a clinically tested Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor, has shown limited success in clinical trials due to the development of resistance to monotherapy in breast cancer cells.
