“…These low levels of expression likely indicate an important role for HSP27 in cellular homeostasis and gastric mucosa defense (33)(34)(35)(36). In accordance with previous results, we also found HSP27 expressed in majority of gastric mucosa.…”

Background: In a previous study, we found that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) was over-expressed in gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) tissue. In this study, our goal was to further verify the expression profile of HSP27 in patients with GA. Methods: Western blot and immunohistochemistry were employed to determine HSP27 expression in 50 paired tumor and adjacent normal tissue. ELISA was used to quantify serum HSP27 concentrations in the same 50 GA patients and 50 healthy individuals. Results: Compared to adjacent normal tissues, HSP27 was over-expressed in 25 (50%, ps0.000) and 24 (48%, ps 0.000) cases of GA tissue by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, respectively. ELISA revealed significantly higher serum concentrations of HSP27 in patients with GA patients (means986 pg/mL) compared to healthy individuals (means573 pg/mL) (ps0.003). In addition, infection with Helicobacter pylori (HP) in healthy individuals was associated with increased expression of HSP27 in both gastric mucosa and serum. Conclusions: These data suggest that HSP27 is overexpressed in GA tissue and serum concentrations of HSP27 are increased in patients with GA. Over-expression of HSP27 may indicate a gastric malignant/infectious process. The detection of serum HSP27 concentrations by ELISA may be useful for screening for GA.

“…Moreover, ginseng had protective effects from alcohol-induced gastric damages in rats. Significant induction of cytoprotective heat-shock proteins HSP27 and HSP70 was found in the ginseng-administrated rats, which suggested that the restoration of these proteins might contribute to preventing alcohol-induced gastric injuries [96]. Therefore, red ginseng could be used as potential treatment of hangover and alcohol-induced reproductive and gastric toxicity due to its antioxidant activity.…”

Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and spirits are widely consumed around the world. However, alcohol and its metabolite acetaldehyde are toxic and harmful to human beings. Chronic alcohol use disorder or occasional binge drinking can cause a wide range of health problems, such as hangover, liver damage and cancer. Some natural products such as traditional herbs, fruits, and vegetables might be potential dietary supplements or medicinal products for the prevention and treatment of the problems caused by excessive alcohol consumption. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of effective natural products for the prevention and treatment of hangover and alcohol use disorder, and special emphasis is paid to the possible functional component(s) and related mechanism(s) of action.

“…Extracts of T. wilfordii have been used as a traditional herbal therapy in Chinese medicine to treat different illnesses, but recent results have suggested that celastrol could be a potential agent to treat diseases such as Alzheimer disease (Chow et al 2013;Allison et al 2001). A study on the potential cytoprotective effect of ginseng indicated that pretreatment with ginseng prevented the ethanol-induced gastric lesions and decreased the level of apoptotic cell death in the rat gastric mucosa (Yeo et al 2008). Moreover, Hsp27 and Hsp70 were found to be overexpressed in ginseng-pretreated rats.…”

Ethanol, which affects all body organs, exerts a number of cytotoxic effects, most of them independent of cell type. Ethanol treatment leads to increased membrane fluidity and to changes in membrane protein composition. It can also interact directly with membrane proteins, causing conformational changes and thereby influencing their function. The cytotoxic action may include an increased level of oxidative stress. Heat shock protein molecular chaperones are ubiquitously expressed evolutionarily conserved proteins which serve as critical regulators of cellular homeostasis. Heat shock proteins can be induced by various forms of stresses such as elevated temperature, alcohol treatment, or ischemia, and they are also upregulated in certain pathological conditions. As heat shock and ethanol stress provoke similar responses, it is likely that heat shock protein activation also has a role in the protection of membranes and other cellular components during alcohol stress.
