Heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) inhibits apoptosis induced by some stresses that trigger the
intrinsic apoptosis pathway. However, with the exception of TNFα-induced apoptosis, a role
for Hsp72 in modulating the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis has not been clearly established.
In this study, it was demonstrated that Hsp72 could inhibit Fas-mediated apoptosis of type II
CCRF-CEM cells, but not type I SW480 or CH1 cells. Similar results were obtained when
Fas ligand or an agonistic Fas antibody initiated the Fas apoptosis pathway. In CCRF-CEM …
