This review article focuses on discussing the role of the heat shock proteins (HSP) in myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the present time, it has also been recognized that HSP may responsible for the increase in cardiac tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion after heat shock or after delayed ischemic preconditioning. The enhancement of the HSP expression in transgenic mice promotes an elevation of cardiac resistance to ischemia-reperfusion. The same effect is induced by transfection of the HSP genes. It has been established that deletion of the HSP70.1 and HSP70.3 genes abolishes a cardioprotective effect of delayed preconditioning. The mechanism by which HSP protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion remains obscure. It has been proposed that HSP protect the heart via refolding proteins, an increase in 5'-nucleotidase activity, an improvement of Ca(2+)-pump function in sarcoplasmic reticulum during ischemia-reperfusion.
