The Hsp90 Molecular Chaperone: A Housekeeping Protein Highjacked by Cancer Cells Len Neckers Urologic Oncology Branch Len Neckers, PhD I/We have no real or apparent conflicts of interest to report, and I will be discussing non-approved (in the US) investigational drugs Why Target Hsp90 in Cancer? Normal Cells (Maintains Protein Homeostasis) Hsp90 Cancer Cells (Maintains Functionality/Stability of Mutated and/or Over-Expressed Oncogenes) Hsp90 senses environmental stress & coordinates cellular responses to promote survival Evading Immune Destruction Epha2 Telomerase Nutrient Stress Limitless Replicative Potential Src VEGF MET Proteotoxic Stress Sustained Angiogenesis HIF Other RTKs Hypoxia Hsp90 Tissue Invasion & Metastasis MMP2 urokinase CDK4 Insensitivity to Antigrowth Signals Genetic Instability/Aneuploidy CDK6 cyclinD IGF-1R Evading Apoptosis AKT HER2 Self-sufficiency in Growth Signals KIT ALK Other RTKs Reprogramming of Energy Metabolism HIF Glycolysis 2008 Loss of 14q32.2-32.33 chromosomal region and HSP90 expression correlates negatively with survival in NSCLC HSP90 expression and survival in three validation sets of NSCLC patients Amplification and high‐level expression of HSP90 marks aggressive phenotypes of HER2 negative breast cancer Qing Cheng1*, Jeffrey T.
