A small heat shock protein (HSP), HSP20 (HSPB6) is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and has several functions. We previously reported that the expression of HSP20 protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is inversely proportional to the progression of HCC. In addition, we showed that HSP20 is associated with phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and inhibits the proliferation of HCC cells via suppression of the AKT signaling pathway. However, the relationship between HSP20 and…

Heat shock protein 20 (HSPB6) regulates TNF-α-induced intracellular signaling pathway in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Phosphorylated Heat Shock Protein 20 (HSPB6) Regulates Transforming Growth Factor-α-Induced Migration and Invasion of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells
TLDR
The findings strongly suggest that phosphorylated HSP20 inhibits TGF-α-induced HCC cell migration and invasion via suppression of the JNK signaling pathway.
Heat shock protein 22 (HSPB8) reduces the migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells through the suppression of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway.
Study of HSPB6: Insights into the Properties of the Multifunctional Protective Agent
TLDR
This review focuses on the properties including expression and regulation pattern, phosphorylation, chaperon activity, multiple cellular targets of HSPB6, as well as its possible role in physical and pathological conditions.
The involvement of small heat shock protein in chemoresistance in ovarian cancer - in vitro study
TLDR
The data suggest the involvement of small HSPs in drug resistance of ovarian cancer and their presence is not related to exosomal transport.
HSP20 Exerts a Protective Effect on Preeclampsia by Regulating Function of Trophoblast Cells Via Akt Pathways
TLDR
Findings strongly suggested that HSP20 might play a role in the remodeling of spiral arteries through affecting the invasiveness of extravillous trophoblast cells via Akt signaling pathway, and the dysregulation of it might contribute to the pathophysiology of PE.
Small Heat Shock Proteins and Eicosanoid Pathways Modulate Caspase-1 Activity in the Fat Bodies of Antheraea pernyi
TLDR
It is concluded that eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibitors might be utilised to simultaneously decrease Hsp 20.8 synthesis and to increase caspase-1 activity, suggesting a novel mechanism for regulation of casp enzyme-1 in the fat bodies of A. pernyi.
Expression and localization of the Xenopus laevis small heat shock protein, HSPB6 (HSP20), in A6 kidney epithelial cells.
Regulation of small heat-shock proteins by hetero-oligomer formation
TLDR
It is concluded that sHsp hetero-oligomerization exerts distinct regulatory effects depending on the sHsps involved, and these heterodimeric species may allow the tuning of the chaperone properties toward specific substrates.
Overexpressed HspB6 Underlines a Novel Inhibitory Role in Kainic Acid-Induced Epileptic Seizure in Rats by Activating the cAMP-PKA Pathway
TLDR
It is demonstrated that activation of the cAMP-PKA pathway induces overexpression and partial phosphorylation of HspB6 lead to the inhibition of ASK1 expression, which protects rats against epilepsy and provides a potential approach to prevent the onset of epileptic seizure in a clinical setting.

Suppression by heat shock protein 20 of hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation via inhibition of the mitogen‐activated protein kinases and AKT pathways
TLDR
The findings strongly suggest that HSP20 suppresses the growth of HCC cells via the MAPKs and AKT signaling pathways, thus suggesting that the H SP20 could be a new therapeutic target for HCC.
Direct Association of Heat Shock Protein 20 (HSPB6) with Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Regulation of the PI3K Activity
TLDR
Findings strongly suggest that HSP20 directly associates with PI3K and suppresses its activity in HCC, resulting in the inhibition of the AKT pathway, and subsequently decreasing the growth of HCC.

TLDR
Data suggest that impaired relaxation of HUASM may result from decreased levels of phosphorylated HSP20, and protein transduction can be used to restore intracellular expression levels and the associated physiological response.
