| Research Abstract |
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low-molecular-weight HSP, is recognized as a molecular chaperone. In response to various stimuli, HSP27 expression is induced in the CNS. However, the exact roles of HSP27 in the CNS have not yet been clarified. We investigated the role of HSP27 in the IL-1β-induced IL-6 synthesis in C6 cells. In conclusion, it is suggested that phosphorylated status of HSP27 has a switching role in the IL-1β-induced IL-6 synthesis in C6 glioma cells.
