From: 14-3-3σ induces heat shock protein 70 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma
14-3-3σ induces HSF-1 and HSP70 expression. (A) Increased expression of HSF-1 and HSP70 induced by 14-3-3σ stable overexpression was determined by Western blotting and (B) real-time PCR analysis. Lanes 1–4 indicate as 4 different stable clones selected from the single colonies. Scale bars: mean ± SD. (C) Transient transfection of 14-3-3σ overexpression induced HSF-1 and HSP70 expression. (D) Knockdown of 14-3-3σ with siRNA suppressed HSF-1 and HSP70 expression in 14-3-3σ stable cells and (E) SK-Hep1 cells. Expression of HSF-1, HSP70, 14-3-3σ and Flag was determined by Western blot analysis. Actin was used as a loading control.
