Molecular Chaperones: Molecular Assembly Line Brings Metabolism and Immunity in Shape

Abstract: Molecular chaperones are a set of conserved proteins that have evolved to assist the folding of many newly synthesized proteins by preventing their misfolding under conditions such as elevated temperatures, hypoxia, acidosis and nutrient deprivation. Molecular chaperones belong to the heat shock protein (HSP) family. They have been identified as important participants in immune functions including antigen presentation, immunostimulation and immunomodulation, and play crucial roles in metabolic rewiring and epi… Show more

“…Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are molecular chaperones that play a key role in maintaining protein homeostasis in the cell (protostasis) [1]. They prevent protein misfolding and aggregation, which is achieved through their action on folding intermediates [2][3][4].…”

“…Histones can disrupt cell membranes, cause oxidative stress, and activate intracellular signaling pathways that promote cell death. Excessive histone release has been shown to induce the production of interleukin-8 in ARPE-19 cells, and at concentrations more than 20 μg/mL is toxic to cells [ 62 ].…”

“…A recent study has shown that short and non-toxic treatment of epithelial cells with thapsigargin triggers ER stress, which appears to be responsible for inducing a spectrum of host antiviral defenses [ 57 ]. This thapsigargin-elicited ER stress was also associated with the induction of heat-shock proteins known to promote DC maturation [ 58 ]. However, whether ER stress is the driver of the LAD2 MC-mediated maturation of DCs remains to be elucidated.…”
