The synthesis of HSP27 can be induced not only by heat shock and other stress conditions but also by physiological stimuli such as those regulating differentiation (15). Clinically, HSP27 is usually highly expressed in many cancers, including breast (16), ovarian (17), prostate (18), as well as others (19), and is associated with aggressive tumor behavior, metastasis, poor prognosis, and resistance to chemotherapeutics. Moreover, HSP27 increases during the early phase of stem cell differentiation (15), and thus, it might play a role in sustaining malignancy stem cell growth and survival. Hence, HSP27 might play important functions in malignancy onset and progression and in its response to treatment. Here we show that the expression of HSP27 is usually up-regulated by MET inhibition through a pathway that depends on the mitogen-activated protein kinase MEK/ERK pathway and on heat-shock factor 1 (HSF1) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). More important, we demonstrate that HSP27 up-regulation limits the effectiveness of MET-targeted therapies and that targeting HSP27 sensitizes cells to MET inhibitors.
