Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), although one of the most essential intracellular chaperones, can also play key roles in the extracellular milieu. Here, we review the properties of extracellular Hsp90 in cellular homeostasis in the heat shock response (HSR), focusing on cells of the central nervous system. Hsp90 can be secreted by microglia as well as other cell types by non-canonical pathways of secretion. The chaperone may then influence the behavior of distant cells and can for instance protect neuronal cells from the oxidative burst accompanying phagocytosis by microglia of beta-amyloid fibrils. A mechanism involving activation of the transcription factor Nrf2, and induction of the antioxidant response is reported. We review the potential role of extracellular Hsp90, Nrf2 and transcellular chaperone signaling in the non-cell-intrinsic HSR.

Abstract
Cells respond to protein-damaging (proteotoxic) stress by activation of the Heat Shock Response (HSR). The HSR provides cells with an enhanced ability to endure proteotoxic insults and plays a crucial role in determining subsequent cell death or survival. The HSR is, therefore, a critical factor that influences the toxicity of protein stress. While named for its vital role in the cellular response to heat stress, various components of the HSR system and the molecular chaperone network execute essential physiological functions as well as responses to other diverse toxic insults. The effector molecules of the HSR, the Heat Shock Factors (HSFs) and Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs), are also important regulatory targets in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Modulation of the HSR and/or its extended network have, therefore, become attractive treatment strategies for these diseases. Development of effective therapies will, however, require a detailed understanding of the HSR, important features of which continue to be uncovered and are yet to be completely understood. We review recently described and hallmark mechanistic principles of the HSR, the regulation and functions of HSPs, and contexts in which the HSR is activated and influences cell fate in response to various toxic conditions.
