  • Co-treatment of the γ-secretase reporter cells with PBA blocked the repressive effects of tunicamycin and thapsigargin upon APP proteolysis, UPR activation, and apoptosis.

    Elites TV PLoS ONE 2010

  • Three unrelated pharmacological agents (tunicamycin, thapsigargin and brefeldin A) all repressed APP proteolysis in parallel with activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling-a biochemical marker of ER stress.

  • CHMFs subjected to tunicamycin or thapsigargin, compounds that inhibit protein glycosylation and disrupt ER calcium levels respectively inducing ER stress, also showed an increase in MstnPP expression (in addition to ER stress marker proteins GRP78 and Herp), possibly due to the activation of NF-κB
