HSF1 Drives a Transcriptional Program Distinct from Heat Shock to Support Highly Malignant Human Cancers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify an HSF1-regulated transcriptional program specific to highly malignant cells and distinct from heat shock, which supports oncogenic processes: cell-cycle regulation, signaling, metabolism, adhesion and translation.
Journal ArticleDOI

High levels of nuclear heat-shock factor 1 (HSF1) are associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer

TL;DR: It is concluded that increased HSF1 is associated with reduced breast cancer survival and should be evaluated prospectively as an independent prognostic indicator in ER-positive breast cancer.

The Reprogramming of Tumor Stroma by HSF1 Is a Potent Enabler of Malignancy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report that the transcriptional regulator heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is frequently activated in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), where it is a potent enabler of malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tight coordination of protein translation and HSF1 activation supports the anabolic malignant state.

TL;DR: The ribosome functions as a central information hub in malignant cells: Translational flux conveys information about the cell’s metabolic status to regulate the transcriptional programs that support it, and multiple unbiased chemical and genetic approaches establish HSF1 as a prime transducer of this information.
