Abstract Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and by which in turn promotes cardiomyocytes apoptosis is associated with the pathogenesis and progression of various cardiac diseases. Small heat shock protein 27(Hsp27) could protect different cells from oxidative damage. By using tissue nonspecific overexpression Hsp 27 transgenic model, other investigators demonstrated that Hsp27 suppressed successfully kainate-induced seizures and hippocampal cell death in intact transgenic mice, and attenuated mimic ischemia/reperfusion injury in Langendorff-perfused isolated mice heart. As there are complicated and long distance neuro-humoral regulation associated with the development of cardiac diseases, it is better to choose a cardiac-specific overexpression transgenic model to study the effects of Hsp27 in hearts in vivo.
