Suppression of ER-stress induction of GRP78 as an anti-neoplastic mechanism of the cardiac glycoside Lanatoside C in pancreatic cancer

The 78 kilodalton glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) is a major endoplasmic reticulum (ER) molecular chaperone with antiapoptotic properties and a key regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR). ER-stress induction of GRP78 in cancer cells represents a major pro-survival branch of the UPR. Panc...
