چکیده
Cancer Phototherapy The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays an important role in protein synthesis, processing and secretion. ER-targeting phototherapy significantly amplifies ER stress, promotes tumor antigen release, elicits a robust immunogenic cell death. In article number 2202728 by Weidong Wang, Junping Shenglin Luo, co-workers, small molecular heptamethine cyanine photosensitizer with binitro-substituted benzenesulfonamide (ER-Cy-poNO2) is designed synthesized for photodynamic therapy/photothermal therapy/immunotherapy targeting the ER.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Cancer
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the principal organelle responsible for multiple cellular functions including protein folding and maturation and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. ER stress is activated by a variety of factors and triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), which restores homeostasis or activates cell death. Multiple studies have clarified the link between ER stress a...
متن کاملEndoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to the presence of misfolded or unfolded proteins in the ER invokes a fundamental biological response, termed the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is orchestrated by three main proximal effectors, of which the IRE1/XBP1 pathway represents the evolutionarily most conserved one. Due to its high secretory burden, the intestinal epithelium is highly sus...
متن کاملDifferential processing of small RNAs during endoplasmic reticulum stress
The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen due to the disruption of the homeostatic system of the ER leads to the induction of the ER stress response. Cellular stress-induced pathways globally transform genes expression on both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels with small RNA involvement as regulators of the stress response. The modulation o...
متن کاملIdentification of Small Molecules That Protect Pancreatic β Cells against Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Cell Death
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays an important role in the decline in pancreatic β cell function and mass observed in type 2 diabetes. Here, we developed a novel β cell-based high-throughput screening assay to identify small molecules that protect β cells against ER stress-induced cell death. Mouse βTC6 cells were treated with the ER stressor tunicamycin to induce ER stress, and cell deat...
متن کاملRationally designed small molecules that target both the DNA and RNA causing myotonic dystrophy type 1.
Single-agent, single-target therapeutic approaches are often limited by a complex disease pathobiology. We report rationally designed, multi-target agents for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). DM1 originates in an abnormal expansion of CTG repeats (CTG(exp)) in the DMPK gene. The resultant expanded CUG transcript (CUG(exp)) identified as a toxic agent sequesters important proteins, such as muscl...
