Cell damages in pathological conditions induce expression and release of inducible types of HSPs, often found in extracellular space as free forms, on the membrane surface, and in vesicles, although constitutively expressed types of HSP is also found extracellularly. ?, unknown; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; DM, diabetes mellitus; HDF, human dermal fibroblast; APC, antigen-presenting cell.
