ITZ-1, a client-selective Hsp90 inhibitor, efficiently induces heat shock factor 1 activation

Chem Biol. 2010 Jan 29;17(1):18-27. doi: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2009.12.012.

Abstract

ITZ-1 is a chondroprotective agent that inhibits interleukin-1beta-induced matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) production and suppresses nitric oxide-induced chondrocyte death. Here we describe its mechanisms of action. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was identified as a specific ITZ-1-binding protein. Almost all known Hsp90 inhibitors have been reported to bind to the Hsp90 N-terminal ATP-binding site and to simultaneously induce degradation and activation of its multiple client proteins. However, within the Hsp90 client proteins, ITZ-1 strongly induces heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) activation and causes mild Raf-1 degradation, but scarcely induces degradation of a broad range of Hsp90 client proteins by binding to the Hsp90 C terminus. These results may explain ITZ-1's inhibition of MMP-13 production, its cytoprotective effect, and its lower cytotoxicity. These results suggest that ITZ-1 is a client-selective Hsp90 inhibitor.
