Chaperonin Hsp60 and Cancer Therapies
2020
The heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) is a chaperonin belonging to the chaperoning (chaperone) system that typically contributes to protein homeostasis inside mitochondria, but also plays various non-canonical roles unrelated to protein quality control beyond the organelle. Chaperonopathies are disorders in which chaperones play an etiologic-pathogenic role and contribute to the onset/progression of disease. Hsp60 chaperonopathies by mistake are diseases in which the chaperonin is apparently normal (as far as it can be determined with current methodologies) but it actively contributes to pathology, for example in certain types of cancer, and autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. In cer…

Heat Shock Protein in embryonic and adult submandibular salivary glands in healthy and tumorigenic tissues
2020
Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) role in development and function of human salivary glands have not yet been measured or mapped in detail, in particular, HSP60 role is unknown. They can be potential biomarkers for glandular diseases and malignancies. We present our initial findings on HSP10, HSP27, HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 distribution in human submandibular salivary glands (SMG) at various stages of development and tumorigenesis.
HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS: THE START OF A NEW ERA?
2015
We read with great interest the article written by Abou El Azm and coworkers, published in the last issue of the Arab Journal of Gastroenterology [1]. In this article, the authors investigated the molecular expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) 70 and 90 in relation to the grades of inflammation and dysplasia in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) before and after treatment. In this study, in agreement with other published studies [2–4], the authors not only found a potential role for HSP 70 and HSP 90 for assessment of the activity and prognosis of UC, but also such markers predicted the presence of dysplasia and differentiated it from reactive atypia [1]. HSP had been found not only a…
Chaperons moleculae in brain tumors-CHAMOBRAT TRIAL: HSP60 and microRNAs related levels in tissue and circulating exosomes in human brain tumors befo…
Current regimen for high-grade gliomas is maximal safe surgical resection followed by external beam radiotherapy with concurrent temozolamide. Maximal tumor resection, however, must be balanced with preservation of the patient’s neurological function. A crucial prognostic factor in oncological neurosurgery is the extent of resection. Several studies have addressed the importance of extent of resection in gliomas surgery. Despite development in the fields of pre operative and intraoperative neuroimaging and neuromonitoring have ameliorated the survival rate and the quality of life for patients affected by high grade gliomas, the clinical outcome of patients with such gliomas remains extremel…
Functional characterisation of the first HSP110 inhibitors.
2023
Heat shock proteins are molecular chaperones highly expressed in haematological malignancies. My laboratory has shown that the heat shock protein HSP110 is a new and important therapeutic target In colorectal cancer and in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. As there were no existing inhibitors of HSP110, a screening strategy of a chemical library was carried out and allowed the identification of two molecules capable of specifically inhibiting the chaperone activity of HSP110. My thesis objective was to characterise and functionally validate these newly identified molecules in diffuse large cell B lymphomas. I have shown that one of these molecules limits the interaction of HSP110 with the SYK signall…
