Critical Role of the Stress Chaperone GRP78/BiP in Tumor Proliferation, Survival, and Tumor Angiogenesis in Transgene-Induced Mammary Tumor Development
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that activates both proapoptotic and survival pathways to allow eukaryotic cells to adapt to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Although the UPR has been implicated in tumorigenesis, its precise role in endogenous cancer remains unclear. A major UPR protective response is the induction of the ER chaperone GRP78/BiP, which is expressed at...
