These results suggest that the mutations prevent SIL1 from interacting with and regulating HSPA5, leading to abnormal neuronal morphology and migration.
GRP78 is implicated in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis resistance, immune escape, metastasis and angiogenesis, and its elevated expression usually correlates with a variety of tumor microenvironmental stresses, including hypoxia, glucose deprivation, lactic acidosis and inflammatory response.
The identification of the HSPA5 as a chemoresistance biomarker and molecular target for B-lineage ALL may lead to new anti-leukaemic treatment strategies that are much needed.
To evaluate levels of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers GRP78 and CHOP in acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and to examine relations with degrees of AMI-related intestinal injury.
The expression of GRP78 and LC3 in cardiac fibroblasts in human heart tissues obtained from patients with or without AMI was assessed by immunofluorescence.
TRIM62 loss was associated with altered expression of proteins involved in leukemia stem cell homeostasis (β-catenin and Notch), cell motility, and adhesion (integrin-β3, ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate [RAC], and fibronectin), hypoxia (Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha [HIF1α], egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 1 [Egln1], and glucose-regulated protein, 78 kDa [GRP78]), and apoptosis (B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BclXL) and caspase 9).
Using stored tissues, we examined (i) the percentage of a splicing form (active form) of XBP1 messenger RNA in normal lung tissue (NLT) and adenocarcinoma (ACA; using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction); (ii) ATF6 and GRP78 protein expressions in NLT and ACA (using Western blotting analysis); (iii) ATF6, XBP1, and GRP78 protein expressions in NLT, AAH, and ACA, including some adenocarcinoma in situ (using immunohistochemistry); and (iv) the incidence of nuclear translocation of the 3 proteins in these lesions.
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of primary resected esophageal (Barrett) adenocarcinomas (n = 137) and corresponding normal tissue were investigated. mRNA-gene expression levels of GRP78 and GRP94 were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR after mRNA extraction.
However, the mRNA and protein expression levels of both GRP78 and Bax were independent of the patient’s sex, the patient’s age, the tumor size and the histological type (adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) of NSCLC (p > 0.05).
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of primary resected esophageal (Barrett) adenocarcinomas (n = 137) and corresponding normal tissue were investigated. mRNA-gene expression levels of GRP78 and GRP94 were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR after mRNA extraction.
This study investigated the effectiveness of HSV-tk activation as gene therapy for gastroesophageal junction and gastric adenocarcinomas using either the stress-inducible Grp78 promoter or the murine leukemia virus long-terminal repeat (LTR) promoter.
Using stored tissues, we examined (i) the percentage of a splicing form (active form) of XBP1 messenger RNA in normal lung tissue (NLT) and adenocarcinoma (ACA; using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction); (ii) ATF6 and GRP78 protein expressions in NLT and ACA (using Western blotting analysis); (iii) ATF6, XBP1, and GRP78 protein expressions in NLT, AAH, and ACA, including some adenocarcinoma in situ (using immunohistochemistry); and (iv) the incidence of nuclear translocation of the 3 proteins in these lesions.
This study aims to examine whether the up-regulation of GRP78 is involved in EMT in lung adenocarcinoma and explore the underlying downstream molecular pathways.
Opposite Regulation of CHOP and GRP78 and Synergistic Apoptosis Induction by Selenium Yeast and Fish Oil via AMPK Activation in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells.
The HSV-tk gene, controlled by either the Grp78 promoter or the LTR promoter, was transduced into the gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma cell line SK-GT-5 and the gastric adenocarcinoma cell line MKN-74.
Furthermore, we examined GRP78 expression in a tissue array and found that the GRP78 expression in metastatic adenocarcinoma in lymph nodes tended to be weaker than that in primary colonic adenocarcinoma.
