MET and cancer: HSF1 inhibition by using HSF1 shRNAs or KRIBB11 decreased the expression of HSF1 downstream proteins, such as HSP70 and HSP27, and also decreased the expression of HSP90/HSP70/BAG3 client proteins, such as BCL2, MCL1, EGFR, MET, and AXL, causing apoptosis of EGFR-TKI-resistant cancer cells.
