The eukaryotic initiation factor 2 kinase GCN2 protects against hepatotoxicity during asparaginase treatment [PDF]
Asparaginase is an important drug in the treatment regimen for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Asparaginase depletes circulating asparagine and glutamine, activating an amino acid stress response (AAR) involving phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation ...

Effect of leucine on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by early weaning in the liver of piglets
To investigate the effects of dietary leucine supplementation on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the liver of early-weaning piglets, we explored the morphology of liver cells, expression pattern of ER stress-associated proteins, and effects on ER ...

POST1/C12ORF49 regulates the SREBP pathway by promoting site-1 protease maturation
Sterol-regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are the key transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism. The activation of SREBP requires translocation of the SREBP precursor from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, where it is sequentially ...

Platelet-derived Growth Factor Induces Interleukin-6 Transcription in Osteoblasts through the Activator Protein-1 Complex and Activating Transcription Factor-2 [PDF]
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB, a mitogen that stimulates bone resorption, increases the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine that induces osteoclast recruitment. The mechanisms involved in IL-6 induction by PDGF BB are poorly understood.

Rifampicin protects PC12 cells from rotenone-induced cytotoxicity by activating GRP78 via PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway. [PDF]
Rifampicin has been proposed as a therapeutic candidate for Parkinson's disease (PD). We previously showed that rifampicin was neuroprotective in PD models in vivo and in vitro. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying are not fully elucidated.

The transcription factor ATF5: role in cellular differentiation, stress responses, and cancer. [PDF]
Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) is a cellular prosurvival transcription factor within the basic leucine zipper (bZip) family that is involved in cellular differentiation and promotes cellular adaptation to stress.

A model for how signal duration can determine distinct outcomes of gene transcription programs. [PDF]
The reason why IL-6 induces a pro-inflammatory response, while IL-10 induces an anti-inflammatory response, despite both cytokines activating the same transcription factor, STAT3, is not well understood.
