Functional inhibition of heat shock protein 70 by VER‐155008 suppresses pleural mesothelioma cell proliferation via an autophagy mechanism

Abstract Background: Pleural mesothelioma, a devastating asbestos‐associated malignancy, urgently requires a novel effective therapy. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), which is synthesized in the cell response to protein damage, is expected to be a new target for antitumor treatment. In addition to its...
