2014, Advances in Clinical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Both HSPs and anti-HSPs have been shown to stimulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines [48]. Wick and colleagues [124] have hypothesized that an immune response to HSPs, either endogenously derived from cells involved in atherogenesis or exogenously from microorganisms, may lead to complement-mediated endothelial injury and subsequent atherosclerosis. Mayr et al. reported that serum anti-HSP directed against Escherichia coli and C. pneumoniae-mediated lysis of stressed, but not unstressed endothelial cells [126].
