Key result
Heat shock induced cell type-specific expression of HSP70 in blood vessels but not myocytes or intrinsic cardiac neurons in the rat heart.
Why the study?
Does heat-shock treatment alter the localization of HSP70 and HSP27 in the rat heart?
Does heat-shock treatment alter the localization of HSP70 and HSP27 in the rat heart?
Heat shock induces cell type-specific expression of HSP70 in cardiac blood vessels rather than myocytes, suggesting blood vessels play a primary role in myocardial protection.

Suggests vascular HSP70 may mediate heat shock cardioprotection in rats; leaves open translation to humans or clinical therapies.
Leger et al. (2000) studied Heat-shock treatment. Heat-shock treatment vs. Control was evaluated on Localization of HSP70 and HSP27. Heat shock induced cell type-specific expression of HSP70 in blood vessels but not myocytes or intrinsic cardiac neurons in the rat heart.
