VPS34-IN1 induces apoptosis of ER+ breast cancer cells via activating PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway

367 views | Oct 14 2023

VPS34-IN1, a selective inhibitor of Class III Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), exhibits an antitumor effect in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer by activating the PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells.

KDELC2 Upregulates Glioblastoma Angiogenesis via Reactive Oxygen Species Activation and Tumor-Associated Macrophage Proliferation

331 views | Jun 03 2023

This study demonstrates that KDELC2 promotes glioblastoma angiogenesis via the activation of multiple pathways, including NLRP3 inflammasome, autophagy, ER stress, and TAM polarization. [Read the Full Post]

Modulation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response mitigates the behavioral effects of early-life stress

Mauricio M Oliveira et al. found that attenuating the ISR downstream of phosphorylated eIF2α might restore hippocampal protein synthesis and delay cognitive decline in AD patients. [Read the Full Post]

RCN1 suppresses ER stress-induced apoptosis via calcium homeostasis and PERK-CHOP signaling

1249 views | Nov 24 2018

Xu S et al. indicated that RCN1, a target of NF-κB, suppresses ER calcium release by binding to IP3R1 and decreases the UPR, thereby inhibiting ER stress-induced apoptosis. [Read the Full Post]
