Triptolide, an Inhibitor of the Human Heat Shock Response That Enhances Stress-induced Cell Death

Abstract excerpt

Molecular chaperones, inducible by heat shock and a variety of other stresses, have critical roles in protein homeostasis, balancing cell stress with adaptation, survival, and cell death mechanisms. In transformed cells and tumors, chaperones are frequently overexpressed, with constitutive activation of the heat shock transcription factor HSF1 implicated in tumor formation. Here, we describe the activity of...
