Abstract
Background: Endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1 (ERN1) is a major signaling pathway of endoplasmic reticulum stress and is crucial for malignant tumor growth.
Objective: The article aims to discuss the recent progress in the discovery of endoplasmic reticulum stress targets and their involvement in tumor growth.
Methods: Literature from the PubMed database related to the endoplasmic reticulum stress involvement in the tumor growth and chemoresistance was searched and reviewed.
Results: The endoplasmic reticulum stress plays an important part in malignant tumor growth and is involved in invasion and metastasis. Inhibition of protein kinase and endoribonuclease activities of the ERN1 signaling protein significantly reduces tumor growth through down-regulation of angiogenesis and cell proliferation but activates the invasion. ERN1 knockdown affects the expression of many genes associated with the regulation of apoptosis, cell proliferation, and survival as well as reprograms the hypoxic regulation of most gene expressions. Simultaneously, inhibition of ERN1 endoribonuclease only has a stronger suppressive effect on tumor growth and decreases the invasiveness.
Conclusion: Present review summarizes the recent advances in inhibiting ERN1 signaling that regulates tumor growth. Further understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of genome reprogramming upon inhibition of ERN1 signaling may help discover new possibilities for developing novel effective therapeutics.
Keywords: Tumor growth, cell proliferation, ERN1 inhibition, ERN1 endoribonuclease signaling, ERN1 protein kinase, U87glioma cells.
