Heat Shock Proteins and HSF1 in Cancer

Anna M. Cyran et al.

Summary: The fitness of cells depends on the maintenance of protein homeostasis, which is achieved through the cooperative activities of protein chaperones and proteolytic machinery. In response to protein-damaging conditions, cells activate the heat-shock response (HSR) by upregulating a group of chaperones known as heat shock proteins (HSPs). Cancer cells, which experience high levels of proteotoxic stress, often upregulate major components of HSR, including HSF1 and individual HSPs. Elevated levels of HSPs and HSF1 are associated with drug resistance and poor clinical outcomes in various types of cancer. Targeting protein quality controls represents a promising approach for the treatment of human malignancies, as it can enhance the efficacy of standard and targeted chemotherapy as well as immune checkpoint inhibitors. In cancers with specific dependencies, HSR components can serve as alternative targets to oncogenic drivers that are difficult to drug.
