Heat shock proteins (HSP) were originally described in heat-shocked drosophila by Ritossa in the early 1960's. In the last 5 years it has become apparent that these heat shock proteins have important functions both in the normal cell and in the stressed cell. These proteins constitute an endogenous protective system; mutations in the heat shock proteins can be lethal, and there are no known organisms without heat shock proteins. The first observations on heat shock proteins and the heart were made in the 1980's and interest in these proteins increased over the decade. In the last few years there has been an exponential growth in number of papers published on heat shock proteins and the heart. Heat shock proteins have been implicated in a number of cardiovascular research areas including ischemia, hypertrophy, aging, and atherosclerosis, and this list is growmg. The purpose of this volume is to give an overview of our current understanding of the heat shock proteins in the cardiovascular system, and to summarize the approaches to the study of heat shock proteins in the heart. This volume assembles results from a number of different cardiovascular fields. and provides a comprehensive review of heat shock proteins in the cardiovascular system.

The book Heat Shock Proteins in Cancer Therapeutics provides the most comprehensive review on contemporary knowledge on the role of HSP in various types of cancer therapeutics. Using an integrative approach, the contributors provide a synopsis of the most current updates on the state of HSP in cancer therapeutics. The heat shock response pathway is a highly conserved cellular process. Heat shock factors are a master transcriptional regulator responsible for expression of several important heat shock proteins, which can effectively protect critical client proteins from misfolding and degradation, thus maintaining intracellular integrity under stressed conditions. Recent studies have demonstrated the direct connections between heat shock response players and tumor cell survival, validating heat shock response players as novel molecular targets in anticancer treatment. Although many hurdles in clinical application still need to be effectively addressed, such as undesirable drug toxicity and off target effects; narrow therapeutic window; poor PK/PD profiles, etc. Recent reports on synergistic drug combination, advanced prodrug design, smart nanoparticle packaging, and RNA aptamer selection offer promising solutions to overcome these challenges. Future advancements in this fast-growing area can potentially lead to the next generation of cancer therapeutics. Key basic and clinical research laboratories from major universities, academic medical hospitals, biotechnology and pharmaceutical laboratories around the world have contributed chapters that review present research activity and importantly project the field into the future. The book is a must read for graduate students. medical students, basic science researchers and postdoctoral scholars in the fields of Cancer Biology, Oncology, Translational Medicine, Clinical Research, Biotechnology, Cell & Molecular Medicine, Pharmaceutical Scientists and Researchers involved in Drug Discovery.

Myocardial ischemic syndromes pose a major medical problem and a significant economic health care concern. Reperfusion, although used in the clinical arena as essential to the survival of acutely ischemic heart muscle carries with it the risk of "reperfusion injury". Therefore the salvage of additional myocardium is highly desirable. Over a decade ago, it was shown that whole body heat shock activated a powerful endogenous protective mechanism that significantly improved myocardial salvage following prolonged ischemia and reperfusion injury in the heart. A characteristic feature of this heat shock response was the expression of a family of proteins known as heat shock proteins. Many of these proteins function as molecular chaperones, helping to refold proteins denatured as a consequence of lethal injuries and facilitating the synthesis of new proteins to replace those irreparably damaged. Altered expression of these proteins has been extensively documented in association with a diverse array of diseases such as ischemia and perfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, fever, inflammation, metabolic diseases, infection, cell and tissue trauma, aging, and cancer. Interestingly, some studies have now shown a direct correlation of the heat shock proteins produced and the degree of myocardial protection. This book is a thorough description of the current state of knowledge of the mechanisms of heat shock proteins induced cardiac protection at the cellular and molecular level, the controversies in this growing field and the potential of treating ischemic heart disease with overexpression of heat shock proteins in patients. The book will be especially useful for investigators interested in studying tissue injury and its protection with the overexpression of heat shock proteins.

Cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of mortality in the Western world, is manifested in contractile dysfunction, myocardial infarction and arrhythmias. These detrimental effects are partially attributed to impaired Ca cycling and cell death. Since calsequestrin (CSQ) and inhibitor-1 (I-1) are key regulators of Ca cycling and the anti-apoptotic small heat shock protein 20 (Hsp20) is an important mediator of cardioprotection, this dissertation sought to gain further insights into the role of these proteins in cardiac pathophysiology. CSQ is a crucial regulator of Ca load in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the Ca-release channel, the ryanodine receptor. Interestingly, human CSQ null mutations have been associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). To further address the significance of CSQ and CSQ null mutations, this dissertation attempted to generate a mouse model with ablation of CSQ. I-1 and its phosphorylation at Thr35 are important mediators of the heart's beta-adrenergic responses. To address any potential beneficial effects of enhanced I-1 activity in the adult heart, a mouse model with inducible expression of active I-1 (T35D) was generated. Active I-1 expression significantly enhanced contractility, associated with preferential phospholamban (PLN) and myosin light chain 2a phosphorylation. Upon ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), active I-1 augmented contractile function, associated with increased pThr17-PLN phosphorylation. Further examination revealed that the infarct region and apoptotic as well as necrotic injury were significantly attenuated by enhanced I-1 activity, associated with suppression of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. These findings indicate that active I-1 may represent a potential therapeutic strategy in myocardial infarction. Hsp20 and its phosphorylation at Ser16 protect cardiomyocytes against apoptosis. To determine whether genetic variants exist in human Hsp20, which may modify these beneficial effects, the Hsp20 gene was sequenced in dilated cardiomyopathic patients and individuals with no heart disease. A C59T substitution was identified in Hsp20 in one patient and three individuals without heart disease. This mutation changes a conserved proline residue into leucine at position 20 (P20L), resulting in secondary structural alterations. The significance of this variant was assessed by subjecting cardiomyocytes, infected with Ad. GFP, Ad. WT-Hsp20 and Ad. P20L-Hsp20, to simulated ischemia/reperfusion. Expression of WT-Hsp20 significantly attenuated apoptotic injury, while the P20L-Hsp20 mutant showed no protection. This was associated with the mutant's diminished phosphorylation at Ser16. Furthermore, stimulation of cardiomyocytes with isoproterenol and protein kinase A-dependent phosphorylation in vitro confirmed the impaired ability of the mutant Hsp20 to become phosphorylated at Ser16. These findings indicate that the P20L substitution in Hsp20, may adversely affect the ability of human carriers to cope with cellular stress. Furthermore, a C29T transversion was identified exclusively in black cardiomyopathic males. This mutation results in substitution of serine at position 10 to phenylalanine (S10F), with similar structural alterations to the P20L mutant, suggesting that the S10F substitution may also have adverse effects on Hsp20's cardioprotective properties. Collectively, this dissertation provides novel insights into the role of these key regulatory proteins in the diseased myocardium, further illuminating the molecular and genetic defects, associated with cardiovascular disease, which may provide potential therapeutic strategies to alleviate its detriment.

This book presents a large amount of information related to the heat shock response and heat shock factor (HSF), describes core observations about molecular mechanisms and pathophysiological roles, and provides fundamental concepts on the basis of information from diverse aspects. This adaptive response to high temperature or protein misfolding is a fundamental mechanism to maintain the capacity of protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, and is evolutionally conserved among all living organisms, including bacteria and humans, on the earth. Furthermore, physiological and pathological roles of HSF have been extensively studied in fruit fly, worm, and mouse models. It has been revealed that HSF plays roles in development of the brain, reproductive and sensory organs, and in ageing, inflammation, and circadian rhythm. Analysis of the mechanisms have uncovered that HSF exerts a wide range of effects on gene expression and epigenetic status on the whole genome. Moreover, loss or gain of HSF function is also closely related to protein-misfolding diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric diseases, heart diseases, and cancers. Therefore, HSF is now thought to be a promising therapeutic target for treatment of these refractory diseases. For undergraduate students, this is a highly understandable source of information on heart shock response and HSF, covering the basis of HSF biology, the physiological role of HSF, and disease associated with HSF function. This book not only serves as a guide to the heat shock response and HSF for students and young researchers in other fields, but also is a cornerstone for future work in the field related to the heat shock response and HSF.
