“…Many natural products are being reported to impact the aforementioned, including a spiked rise in Grp78, CHOP with activated ER/UPR -PCD occurring through PERK, IRE1alpha and ATF6 pathways as in the case of cryptotanshinone (32) 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol (olive oil) (58) selenium (59) methylseleninic acid, sodium selenite (33) xanthohumol (hops), docosahexaenoic acid (34,35) isochaihulactone (Nan-Chai-Hu) (36) Shikonin (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) (37) chrysin (31) curcumin (40) silibinin (41) or whole herbs such as the Chinese herbal medicine Tu Bei Mu (39). A number of drugs also mediate similar effects, such as steroids, platins, taxol, alkylating agents, or cancer chemicals which on the one hand block the growth of diverse cancers, and on the other hand elevate ER/UPR -PCD, associated with up-regulation of GRP78, CHOP and three UPRassociated pathways, PERK, IRE1alpha, and ATF6 (42-44, 46, 60).…”
