Heat shock pre-treatment prior to the addition of MPP (+) and paraquat significantly reduced cell death and led to an increase in the synthesis of Hsp 27 and Hsp70 proteins.

Members of heat shock proteins (Hsp70) family have been considered to respond to a large variety of stressful conditions.
We found that hsp70-1 promoter was stimulated by heat shock and cadmium but not by ozone, paraquat, and parathion, even if these chemicals induced respiratory distress and lung inflammation.

Because overexpression of the inducible heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) was neuroprotective in a culture model of motor neuron disease, this study investigated whether NSAIDs induce Hsp70 and confer cytoprotection in motor neurons of dissociated spinal cord cultures exposed to various stresses.
At concentrations that increased Hsp70 in heat shocked glial cells, sodium salicylate failed to delay death of motor neurons exposed to hyperthermia, paraquat-mediated oxidative stress, and glutamate excitotoxicity.
