abstract：:Inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP70; also known as HSPA1 or HSP72) is implicated in cancer. As a stress‑inducible heat shock protein, HSP70 is highly expressed in a variety of cancers and correlates with metastasis, chemotherapy resistance and tumor prognosis. The present study demonstrated that suppression of HSP7...
