The controversial function of Hsp27 during virus infection. Hsp27 would enhance 2A protein-mediated eIF4G cleavage, which would in turn promote IRES function and viral genome replication. It correlates with hnRNPA1 translocation from host cell nuclei to cytosol, and the consequential virus protein translation. Hsp27 is also able to suppress apoptosis via caspase 3 inhibition. On the other hand, Hsp27 could help activating IKK complex, modulating NF-κB and AP-1 to induce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines
