The dual-function of HSP70 in immune response and tumor immunity: from molecular regulation to therapeutic innovations by Beining Zhang, Ruiqun Qi, Ruiqun Qi

“…In recent years, studies have revealed that HSP70 has dual functions in immune regulation: on the one hand, it enhances immune responses by activating non-specific immunity (such as Toll-like receptor 2/4 (TLR2/4) signaling pathways) and specific immunity (such as cross-presentation of antigens, T helper 1 (Th1)/T helper 17 (Th17) differentiation); on the other hand, it inhibits excessive immune reactions by inducing the differentiation of regulatory T cells (Treg) and promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors [such as interleukin-10 (IL-10)]. …”
