Progress in Molecular Chaperone Regulation of Heat Shock Protein 90 and Cancer

Publication date: March 2018 Source:Chinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry, Volume 46, Issue 3 Author(s): ZHAI Rui, GONG Xiao-Yun, XIONG Xing-Chuang, JIANG You, HUANG Ze-Jian, FANG Xiang Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a member of genetically conserved heat shock protein family. As an important molecular chaperone in eukaryotic cells, HSP90 plays a key regulatory role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis. HSP90 clients encompass a wide range of proteins, thus HSP90 is involved in diverse biological process. With the deeper study, it is found that HSP90 takes an important part in the development and metastasis of cancer, and has become a promising target for the study of anticancer biology. In this review, the progress of HSP90 as molecular chaperone and its relationship with cancer are discussed. Graphical abstract
