Description

The HSPA1A protein, also known as hsp72 or hsp70, is a stress-induced chaperone [757]. Results from invertebrates have suggested that heat-shock proteins, such as HSPA1A, are involved in ageing. Overexpression of hsp70, a homologue of HSPA1A, extends lifespan in fruit flies [210]. Induction of HSPA1A after ischemia is diminished in aged rat hearts [908]. Overexpression of HSPA1A in mice with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 offered protection against this disease, suggesting HSPA1A could protect against neurodegeneration [755]. However, in a more recent study, overexpression of hsp70 in mice was associated with growth retardation, tumor formation, and early death [1978]. Hsp70 basal levels show tissue-specific age-associated variations and are preserved in long-lived mice. Hsp70 levels from long-lived mice are similar to those found in adult WT mice. In adult PAM mice, which normally show accelerated aging, hsp70 levels are similar to those in chronologically old animals [4364]. Whether HSPA1A is related to human ageing remains to be determined.
