-
To confirm that mTORC1 regulates JNK / c-Jun activation in response to ER stress, we studied the effect of thapsigargin, which is an ER stressor, and that of anisomycin, which activates JNK in an ER stress-independent manner.

This is due to loss of the finite Ca2+ content within the ER and the progressive removal of the ion by plasma membrane ATPases that are insensitive to thapsigargin.
