From endoplasmic-reticulum stress to the inflammatory response

Open access

Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for much of a cell's protein synthesis and folding, but it also has an important role in sensing cellular stress. Recently, it has been shown that the endoplasmic reticulum mediates a specific set of intracellular signalling pathways in response to the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins, and these pathways are collectively known as the unfolded-protein response. New observations suggest that the unfolded-protein response can initiate inflammation, and the coupling of these responses in specialized cells and tissues is now thought to be fundamental in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. The knowledge gained from this emerging field will aid in the development of therapies for modulating cellular stress and inflammation.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The same inflammatory pathways can be activated through the signaling cascades of the unfolded protein response.

    “Indeed, the same inflammatory pathways can be activated through the signaling cascades of the unfolded protein response (UPR) (228, 609), as will be discussed later.”

    From Placental Origins of Chronic Disease (2016) · cites this paper as [609]

  • The UPR has been implicated in regulating the inflammatory response and stemness within the intestinal epithelium.

    “the UPR has been implicated in regulating processes as diverse as the inflammatory response (609) and stemness within the intestinal epithelium (251).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
