“…These stresses commonly include changes in calcium homeostasis, viral or bacterial infection, inflammation, nutrition or energy deficiency, hypoxia, lipid overload, altered redox status, as well as oncogene activation in cancer [7,10]. During UPR, transcription factors such as ATF6, XBP-1 are activated and translocated to the nucleus to initiate transcription of genes involved in inflammation, cell proliferation and fibrosis [9,11]. In addition, ER stress plays a role in cellular differentiation, antigen presentation, and stem cell renewal capacity [8].…”
