Synthesis of heat-shock proteins and tumor growth. 1986

L Bardella, and F Cajone, and G Cairo, and L Schiaffonati, and A Bernelli-Zazzera

Exposure to hyperthermia induces the preferential synthesis of a set of proteins, known as heat-shock proteins. The synthesis of heat-shock proteins has been studied in rat liver cells, and human lymphocytes, and in their neoplastic counterparts. Tumor cells synthesize heat-shock proteins essentially as their normal controls, but the response of ascites hepatoma cells depends on the presence of glucose in the medium. Solid hepatoma slices seem to synthesize some heat-shock proteins constitutively, i.e., before exposure to high temperature. Any possible interpretation of this fact must take into account the growth of tumor cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
