Forced Expression of the H11 Heat Shock Protein Can Be Regulated by DNA Methylation and Trigger Apoptosis in Human Cells
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
H11, the eukaryotic homologue of a herpes simplex virus protein, has the crystallin motif of heat shock proteins (Hsp), but it differs from canonical family members in that mRNA and protein levels were reduced in various tumor tissues and cell lines (viz. melanoma, prostate cancer and sarcoma) relative to their normal counterparts. In these cells, expression was not restored by heat shock, but rather by the...
