Protection of Neuronal and Cardiac Cells by HSP27

  • Chapter
Small Stress Proteins

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 28))

Abstract

One of the aspects of heat shock protein biology, which has attracted the most attention, is their protective effect when over-expressed (for reviews see Latchman 1991; Yellon and Latchman 1992; Parsell and Lindquist 1993; Benjamin and McMillan 1998; Gray, et al. 1999). As well as being of interest in itself, this phenomenon is evidently of importance in medical terms, since it may be possible to achieve a therapeutic benefit in diseases such as stroke or cardiac ischaemia by inducing HSP over-expression either pharmacologically or using gene delivery procedures.
