... Various stress conditions, such as hypoxia and oxidative stress, can increase the level of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, leading to the dissociation of receptor proteins from glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and activating ERS [95]. ERS maintains endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis via the normal folding of proteins, whereas persistent ERS promotes apoptosis by activating the expression of the downstream apoptotic factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) [96]. CHOP is an important functional protein for ERS-induced apoptosis and a molecular marker for the activation of the ERS apoptotic pathway [97]. ...
