Heat-shock protein 27 (HSP27, HSPB1) is synthetic lethal to cells with oncogenic activation of MET, EGFR and BRAF
9 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
The small heat-shock protein of 27 kDa (HSP27) is highly expressed in many cancers and is associated with aggressive tumour behaviour, metastasis, poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapy. We aimed at assessing the role of HSP27 in modulating responses to target therapies. We selected several oncogene-addicted cancer cell lines, which undergo either cell cycle blockade or cell death in response to agents...
