Abstract:Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) comprises proteins that have been reported to protect cells, tissues, and organisms against damage from a wide variety of stressful stimuli; however, little is known about whether Hsp70 protects against DNA damage. In this study, we investigated the relationship between Hsp70 expression and the levels of ultraviolet C (UVC)-induced DNA damage in A549 cells with normal, inhibited, and overexpressed Hsp70 levels. . These results suggest that overexpressed Hsp70 might play a role in … Show more
