Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the unfolded protein response, specifically the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) signaling pathway, in hypoxia-induced autophagy in human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs).
Methods: The expression of IRE1 and autophagy relative protein in HUVECs with hypoxia was explored by Western blotting, qRT-PCR and confocal microscopy. Further, we evaluated the biological effects of HUVECs by tube formation assay and wound healing assay in vitro. Finally, we examined the function of IRE1 in local blood vessels through animal models.
Results: Hypoxia activated the IRE1 signaling pathway and induced autophagy in a time-dependent manner in HUVECs and further influenced the biological effects of HUVECs. Intraperitoneal injection of IRE1 inhibitors inhibited local vascular autophagy levels and lipid accumulation in model animals.
Conclusion: Hypoxia can induce autophagy and activate the IRE1 signaling pathway in HUVECs and the IRE1 signaling pathway is involved in autophagy in hypoxic conditions.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3 (), a member of the IL-12 family, is known to be involved in malignant progression in a variety of cancers, but its role in melanoma is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of EBI3 on the malignant phenotype melanoma to reveal its potential as a therapeutic target.
Methods: In this study, we used bioinformatics to analyze the expression of in pan-cancer and verified its expression level in melanoma cells by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

It has been confirmed that exposure to various metal pollutants can induce neurotoxicity, which is closely associated with the occurrence and development of neurological disorders. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death in response to metal pollutant exposure and it is closely related to oxidative stress, iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have revealed that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the neurotoxicity induced by metals such as lead, cadmium, manganese, nickel, and antimony.

This study investigated the role of mitochondrial fusion protein-2 (MFN2) in bovine embryonic development and its relationship with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, aiming to increase the efficiency of in vitro embryo culture. Western blot analysis revealed that MFN2 expression peaked at the 2-cell stage, decreased at the 4-cell stage, and gradually increased from the 6-8-cell stage to the blastocyst stage. Inhibiting MFN2 at the zygote stage reduced blastocyst formation and proliferation, and this damage was partially reversed by the ER stress protective agent TUDCA.

Occupational exposure to N-hexane/2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) was found to adversely affect reproductive functions in females. However, there are few studies regarding the mechanisms underlying reproductive system damage initiated by 2,5-HD. Several studies demonstrated that 2,5-HD exerts hormonal dysfunctions in females by promoting apoptosis using rat ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) as a model.

Recent work suggests that the unfolded protein response in the endoplasmic reticulum (UPR ) directly regulates the aggregation and toxicity of expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) proteins. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood.
