“…Another mechanism proposed involves the capacity of HSP70 to inhibit LPS-induced NF-κB activation by interacting directly with tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), a member of the TLRs and interleukin 1 receptor, type I transduction pathways (Chen et al, 2006). In a viral-infection context, heat shock was shown to be able to dampen IL-6, TNFα, IFNβ and IFNγ production in H5N1-infected mice (Xue et al, 2016). HSF-1 is also able to interact with CCAAT enhancer binding protein (C/EBPβ) to repress the transcription of IL-1B in human monocytes treated with LPS (Xie, Chen, Stevenson, Auron, & Calderwood, 2002).…”
