Both geldanamycin (GA) and radicicol (RA) are HSP90 binding agents that possess antitumour activities. Although the in vitro data indicated that the inhibitory constant of RA is much bigger than that of GA, the in vivo data on drug efficacy might reveal different results. We have recently shown that
## Abstract Heat shock protein (HSP) 20, one of the lowβmolecular weight HSPs, is known to have versatile functions, such as vasorelaxation. However, its precise role in cancer proliferation remains to be elucidated. While HSP20 is constitutively expressed in various tissues including the liver, we
The hepatic stellate cell (HSC), following a fibrogenic stimulus, is transformed from a quiescent to an activated cell. Cytokines induce NFB activity in activated but not in quiescent HSCs with subsequent expression of NFBresponsive genes, such as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and interle
