Heat Shock Protein 22 in Physiological and Pathological Hearts: Small Molecule, Large Potentials

Small heat shock protein 22 (HSP22) belongs to the superfamily of heat shock proteins and is predominantly expressed in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and different types of cancers. It has been found that HSP22 is involved in variant cellular functions in cardiomyocytes and plays a vital role i...

description Small heat shock protein 22 (HSP22) belongs to the superfamily of heat shock proteins and is predominantly expressed in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and different types of cancers. It has been found that HSP22 is involved in variant cellular functions in cardiomyocytes and plays a vital role in cardiac protection against cardiomyocyte injury under diverse stress. This review summarizes the multiple functions of HSP22 in the heart and the underlying molecular mechanisms through modulating gene transcription, post-translational modification, subcellular translocation of its interacting proteins, and protein degradation, facilitating mitochondrial function, cardiac metabolism, autophagy, and ROS production and antiapoptotic effect. We also discuss the association of HSP22 in cardiac pathologies, including human dilated cardiomyopathy, pressure overload-induced heart failure, ischemic heart diseases, and aging-related cardiac metabolism disorder. The collected information would provide insights into the understanding of the HSP22 in heart diseases and lead to discovering the therapeutic targets.
