Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 20806409 |
| Year | 2010 |
| Title | Aberrant Stress-Induced Hsp70 Expression in Immune Cells in Multiple Sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | These results indicate that immune cells from MS patients are more prone to Hsp70 induction under stress conditions, suggesting a possible link between Hsp70 overexpression and development of auto-immunity. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), a prominent member of the heat shock protein family, is a stress-induced chap-erone, contributing to the ‘‘protein triage’’ mechanism |
