Estrogens promote misfolded proinsulin degradation to protect insulin production and delay diabetes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Summary: Conjugated estrogens (CE) delay the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in postmenopausal women, but the mechanism is unclear. In T2D, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fails to promote proinsulin folding and, in failing to do so, promotes ER stress and

Ricin B chain targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum of tobacco protoplasts is degraded by a CDC48- and vacuole-independent mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The B chain of ricin was expressed and delivered to the endoplasmic reticulum of tobacco protoplasts where it disappeared with time in a manner consistent with degradation. This turnover did not occur in the vacuoles or upon secretion.

Research Progress on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Mediated Apoptosis and Its Regulatory Mechanism on Muscle Tenderization [PDF]

open access: yesShipin Kexue
The endoplasmic reticulum is a key site for calcium storage, lipid synthesis, protein synthesis, transport and folding, and it performs several critical biological functions.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition induces endoplasmic-reticulum-stress response in human colorectal tumor cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Tumor cells are stressed by unfavorable environmental conditions like hypoxia or starvation. Driven by the resulting cellular stress tumor cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 1956
and (b) the vesicular character of its component elements, were already clearly noted in its first description. In subsequent papers, Porter and his collaborators described the preferential concentration of the vesicular elements of the reticulum in the endoplasm, and their scarcity or absence in the supposedly exoplasmic periphery of the cytoplasm (2,

Cytosolic redox components regulate protein homeostasis via additional localisation in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Oxidative protein folding is confined to the bacterial periplasm, endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Maintaining a redox balance requires the presence of reductive pathways.

Inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress alleviates secondary injury after traumatic brain injury

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2018
Apoptosis after traumatic brain injury has been shown to be a major factor influencing prognosis and outcome. Endoplasmic reticulum stress may be involved in mitochondrial mediated neuronal apoptosis. Therefore, endoplasmic reticulum stress has become an

Endoplasmic reticulum as a target in cardiovascular diseases: Is there a role for flavonoids?

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Flavonoids are found in natural health products and plant-based foods. The flavonoid molecules contain a 15-carbon skeleton with the particular structural construction of subclasses.

Regulation of podocyte survival and endoplasmic reticulum stress by fatty acids and its modification by Stearoyl-CoA desaturases and cyclic AMP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Podocyte apoptosis is a hallmark in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Several factors of the diabetic milieu are known to induce podocyte apoptosis. Currently, the role of free fatty acids (FFAs) for podocytopathy and podocyte

KRE5 Suppression Induces Cell Wall Stress and Alternative ER Stress Response Required for Maintaining Cell Wall Integrity in Candida glabrata. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The maintenance of cell wall integrity in fungi is required for normal cell growth, division, hyphae formation, and antifungal tolerance. We observed that endoplasmic reticulum stress regulated cell wall integrity in Candida glabrata, which possesses ...
