Abstract

Heat preconditioning induces heat-shock protein-70 upregulation and protects from renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Kim et al. report that heat-shock protein-70 and regulatory T cells play a key role in protective heat preconditioning. This work reinforces the utility of inducing heat-shock protein-70 expression by pharmacological agents as a novel therapy for the prevention and treatment of ischemic kidney injury.
