Extracellular Hsp70 modulates the inflammatory response of cigarette smoke extract in NCI‐H292 cells

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does extracellular heat shock protein 70 (eHsp70) alter cigarette smoke extract (CSE)‐induced inflammatory responses in NCI‐H292 bronchial epithelial cells? What is the main finding and its importance? eHsp70 modulates inflammatory responses and TLR2 , TLR4 and Hsp70 gene expression, and protects NCI‐H292 cells against CSE‐induced cytotoxicity. eHsp70 might be implicated in development of...
