Abstract

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized by cells in response to an increase in temperature, as well as to various other stressful stimuli. Their main function is to insure intracellular protein homeostasis, thus preserving the cells’ viability in the face of aggression. Many inducers of HSP synthesis are part of the complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying critical illness, in particular oxidative injury. Currently available evidence points to a potential protective role for HSPs in several aspects of critical disease, such as ischemia-reperfusion, ARDS, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The purpose of this chapter is to briefly review the current evidence for the role HSPs might play in such conditions.
