HSP27, also known as heat shock protein beta-1, is one of the small heat shock proteins and constitutively expressed in various tissues. HSP27 expression is increased to high levels after various types of stress including elevated temperatures, toxic metals, drugs and oxidants. HSP27 and its phosphorylation state participate in the regulation of multiple physiological and pathophysiological cell functions. However, the exact roles of HSP27 in osteoblasts remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the role of HSP27 in the platelet-derived growth factor-BB(PDGF-BB)-stimulated migration of osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-209 from mouse HSP27, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
