Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) Controls Chemoresistance and Autophagy through Transcriptional Regulation of Autophagy-related Protein 7 (ATG7)
6 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a master regulator of heat shock responses, plays an important role in tumorigenesis. In this study we demonstrated that HSF1 is required for chemotherapeutic agent-induced cytoprotective autophagy through transcriptional up-regulation of autophagy-related gene ATG7. Interestingly, this is independent of the HSF1 heat shock response function. Treatment of cancer cells with the...
