The small heat shock protein, HSPB6, in muscle function and disease

Abstract: The small heat shock protein, HSPB6, is a 17-kDa protein that belongs to the small heat shock protein family. HSPB6 was identified in the mid-1990s when it was recognized as a by-product of the purification of HSPB1 and HSPB5. HSPB6 is highly and constitutively expressed in smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle and plays a role in muscle function. This review will focus on the physiologic and biochemical properties of HSPB6 in smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle; the putative mechanisms of action; and therapeu… Show more

“…Furthermore, a link between HSP and apoptosis [54], [55] and [56] is ascertained, evidence that endorses the attention on HSP identifications in our time course experiment. HSPB6 has clear roles in smooth and cardiac muscles, while in the skeletal muscle it is less understood [57]. Gusev and colleagues [58] described for HSPB6 a protective role against apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, by means of the inhibition of the activation of procaspase 3 to caspase 3.…”

“…18,29). P20 peptide decreased F-actin and increased G-actin in intact ASM tissue, and caused disruption of stress fibers in HASM cells, suggesting that the P20 peptide induced relaxation through actin disruption (Figure 2).…”

“…P20 peptide has been demonstrated to mimic the biological effect of the entire HSP20 molecule, inducing relaxation in bovine carotid artery (21), porcine coronary artery (26), human saphenous vein (27), human umbilical artery (28), rat aorta (29), bovine ASM (14), and canine ASM (15). In National Institutes of Health 3T3 cells and human ASM (HASM) cells, treatment with the P20 peptide led to depolymerization of actin, resulting in disruption of actin stress fibers (14,15,24).…”

“…Some experimental success has been achieved with simple cell permeant phosphopeptide analogues encompassing the vital PKA consensus site in the N-terminus. Such peptides may confer protection against a variety of diseases including subarachnoid hemorrhage [76], vasospasm of human umbilical artery [77], keloid scarring [78], airway smooth muscle relaxation [77,79] and platelet aggregation [80]. Clearly, all of these peptide agents have therapeutic potential, with one, namely AZX100 [81] having undergone Phase II clinical trials.…”
