Glucose-regulated protein of M(r) 78kDa (GRP78) is a resident protein of endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We have previously shown that the cells become resistant to topoisomerase II alpha (topo II alpha) targeted cancer chemotherapeutic drug such as etoposide (VP-16) when GRP78 is up-regulated by various means. Up-regulation of GRP78 in V79 Chinese hamster cell lines was achieved by treating the cells with NAD antagonist 6-aminonicotinamide (6AN), inhibitor of glucose metabolism such as 2-deoxyglucose (2dG). Further, up-regulation of GRP78 was also observed in V79-derived cell lines which are deficient in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP1) metabolism. However, mechanisms of association of GRP78 up-regulation and resistance to VP-16 remained obscured under the conditions outlined above. In the manuscript, using various methods, we demonstrate, for the first time, that up-regulation of GRP78, using approaches depicted above, causes down-regulation of topo II alpha and its activity. We have also discussed the clinical implications of our findings.

Deltamethrin (DLM) is a type II pyrethroid insecticide that is extensively applied to agriculture, veterinary medicine and livestock pest control. Excessive accumulation of DLM in the body can lead to nephrotoxicity, but the precise toxic mechanism remains obscure. Therefore, we established in vivo models of DLM-exposed mice for 30 days and in vitro models of DLM-exposed renal tubular epithelial cells of mice.

Hypoxia is a typical hallmark of solid tumors and plays a crucial role in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinogenesis (ESCC). Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms underlying the involvement of hypoxia in tumor development remain unclear. In the present study, a novel hypoxia-induced long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is identified first, lnc191, which is highly expressed in clinical ESCC tissues and is positively correlated with poor prognosis of ESCC patients.

Background/aim: Irinotecan is a key component of standard first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. However, irinotecan-induced muscle dysfunction is a contributing factor to cancer cachexia. Here, we present the protective effect of taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid with great antioxidant properties, in attenuating muscle dysfunction induced by irinotecan.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether LincRNA erythroid prosurvival (LncEPS) can reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) by observing its effects in a mouse model subjected to mechanical ventilation.
- Researchers used various methods, including gene expression analysis and transfection techniques, to evaluate the role of LncEPS in alveolar macrophages, focusing on its influence on macrophage polarization and inflammation pathways.
- Results indicated that overexpressing LncEPS enhanced M2 macrophage polarization and inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suggesting that LncEPS may alleviate VILI by interacting with heat shock protein Hspa5 to modulate inflammatory responses.
GLCCI1 alleviates GRP78-initiated endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells in diabetic retinopathy by upregulating and interacting with HSP90AB1.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are among the first neurons to undergo apoptosis in diabetic retinopathy (DR), with their relationship to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced apoptosis still unclear. While glucocorticoid-induced transcript 1 (GLCCI1) has been shown to inhibit apoptosis, its role in ERS-induced apoptosis and its mechanisms in DR remain unclarified. Our findings indicated that GLCCI1 is predominantly localized in the ganglion cell layer and is downregulated in DR.
