Measurement of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in monocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In mammalian cells, the primary function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is to synthesize and assemble membrane and secreted proteins. As the main site of protein folding and posttranslational modification in the cell, the ER operates a highly ...

The Unfolded Protein Response: An Overview

open access: yesBiology, 2021
The unfolded protein response is the mechanism by which cells control endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein homeostasis. Under normal conditions, the UPR is not activated; however, under certain stresses, such as hypoxia or altered glycosylation, the UPR ...

The unfolded protein response reverses the effects of glucose on lifespan in chemically-sterilized C. elegans

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Endoplasmic reticulum stress activates the unfolded protein response (UPR). The authors show that glucose extends the lifespan of aged animals by activating the otherwise quiescent UPR while causing a UPR-dependent reduced longevity in young ...

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...

The Unfolded Protein Response and its potential role in Huntington's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease with fatal outcome. Although the disease-causing gene (huntingtin) has been known for some time, the exact cause of neuronal cell death is still unknown.

Gcn4p and novel upstream activating sequences regulate targets of the unfolded protein response. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2004
Eukaryotic cells respond to accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR), a signal transduction pathway that communicates between the ER and the nucleus.

The Protective Effect of a Newly Developed Molecular Chaperone– Inducer Against Mouse Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
Activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) has been suggested to attenuate renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We recently found a compound, namely BIX, that activated the UPR selectively through the activating transcription factor 6 pathway.

Long-chain ceramides are cell non-autonomous signals linking lipotoxicity to endoplasmic reticulum stress in skeletal muscle

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Endoplasmic Reticulum stress induces cell non-autonomous Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) activation. Here the authors show that long-chain ceramides are secreted from muscle cells in extracellular vesicles and induce cell non-autonomous UPR activation in

Investigation of the Molecular Mechanisms Leading to Protein Translation Inhibition in Response to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

open access: yesمجلة المختار للعلوم, 2018
Protein folding is an important process for cellular function. ER is responsible for the synthesis, folding, modification, and quality control of numerous secretory and membrane proteins.
