Journal ArticleDOI
Heat shock resistance conferred by expression of the human HSP27 gene in rodent cells.
TL;DR: It is concluded that HSP27 plays a major role in the increased thermal resistance acquired by cells after exposure to HSP inducers.
Journal Article
Synthesis and Degradation of Heat Shock Proteins during Development and Decay of Thermotolerance
TL;DR: The results provide strong circumstantial evidence that heat shock proteins are involved in the acquisition, maintenance, and decay of thermotolerance.
Journal Article
Increased survival after treatments with anticancer agents of Chinese hamster cells expressing the human Mr 27,000 heat shock protein.
TL;DR: It is suggested that HSP27 might be involved in some form of chemoresistance and could participate in the development of clinical resistance to antineoplastic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorylation of HSP27 during development and decay of thermotolerance in Chinese hamster cells.
TL;DR: The degree of HSP27 phosphorylation could be a determinant of the ability of cells to survive hyperthermia, the transient ability to survive otherwise lethal heat exposure after a mild heat shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced constitutive expression of the 27-kDa heat shock proteins in heat-resistant variants from Chinese hamster cells.

TL;DR: It is concluded that most likely the enhanced expression of HSP27 is linked to the resistant phenotype of the variants, and provides supporting evidence that both the content and phosphorylation status of H SP27 are determining factors in the ability of cells to survive hyperthermic treatments.
