Autocrine control of glioma cells adhesion/migration through Inositol Requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)-mediated cleavage of Secreted Protein Acidic Rich in Cysteine (SPARC) mRNA
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle specialized for the folding and assembly of secretory and transmembrane proteins. ER homeostasis is often perturbed in tumor cells because of dramatic changes in the microenvironment of solid tumors, thereby leading to the activation of an adaptive mechanism named the unfolded protein response (UPR). The activation of the UPR sensor IRE1α has been described to play...
