“…[16]. In immune cells, extracellular Hsp70 or Hsc70 stimulates a variety of immune regulatory pathways for cytokine production through receptors (e.g., Toll-like receptors 2, 4, CD40, CD91, CCR5, Siglec-5, 14, and members of scavenger receptors) [17,18]. We also reported that extracellular Hsc70 stimulates TNF-a production, and it was enhanced with specific peptides containing C-mannosyl Trp via the interaction with Hsc70 in macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells [19].…”
