Effects of heat shock on apoptosis related pathways. Heat shock stimulates apopotosis via several pathways. It also induces Hsp27 expression, and its phosphorylation. Hsp27 in turn acts to offset the potential damage induced by heat shock in part through inhibition of apoptosis. It does so at several steps in the apoptotic pathway.
