Targeting the unfolded protein response for disease intervention.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) generates a stress condition that engages the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is an adaptive reaction that aims to reestablish ER proteostasis by recovering the folding capacity of the cell. However, chronic ER stress results in apoptosis. AREAS COVERED: This review focuses on discussing the emerging role of the UPR as a driver of several human pathologies including diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The involvement of specific UPR signaling components on different diseases is highlighted based on preclinical models and pharmacological and genetic manipulation of the pathway. EXPERT OPINION: Therapeutic strategies directed to regulate the activity of different UPR signaling arms may reduce stress levels with a therapeutic gain. Recent drug discovery efforts have identified small molecules that target specific UPR components, providing protection on various disease models. However, important side effects are predicted in the chronic administration due to the fundamental role of the UPR in highly secretory organs such as liver and pancreas. To overcome these problems, we propose the use of combinatorial treatments of selected drugs with natural compounds that are known to modulate the ER proteostasis network.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Targeting Sig-1R by agonists may regulate ER stress and UPR, manage ER perturbations, regulate the formation of toxic misfolded proteins, and prevent cell-killing apoptotic pathways.

    “Targeting Sig-1R by agonists may regulate ER stress and UPR, manage ER perturbations, regulate the formation of toxic misfolded proteins, and prevent the cell-killing apoptotic pathways (Rivas et al., 2015).”

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.
