Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone that is involved in the folding, activation, and stabilization of numerous oncogenic proteins. It has become an attractive therapeutic target, especially for eradicating malignant cancers and overcoming chemotherapy resistance. The Hsp90 family in mammalian cells is composed of four major homologs: Hsp90α, Hsp90β, 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp94), and TNF receptor-associated protein 1 (Trap1). Hsp90α and Hsp90β are mainly localized in the cytoplasm, while Grp94 and Trap1 reside in the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria, respectively. Additionally, some Hsp90 s are secreted from the cytoplasm, commonly called extracellular Hsp90. Interestingly, each Hsp90 isoform is localized in a particular organelle, possesses a unique biological function, and participates in various physiological and pathological processes. To inhibit the organelle-specific Hsp90 chaperone function, there have been significant efforts to accumulate Hsp90 inhibitors in particular cellular compartments. This review introduces current studies regarding the delivery of Hsp90 inhibitors to subcellular organelles, particularly to the extracellular matrix and the mitochondria, and discusses their biological insights and therapeutic implications.
