UPR, Unfolded Protein Response: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Cellular stress response related to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which involves protein folding, quality control, and signaling pathways. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is the cells' way of maintaining the balance of protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. (UPR) is triggered by the presence of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum.
The UPR is a cellular stress response activated by the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
- It is primarily mediated by three ER-resident sensors: IRE1α, PERK, and ATF6.

Cancer cells often experience high levels of protein synthesis, hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, and oxidative stress, all of which can activate the UPR.
– Numerous studies have reported that key UPR components (e.g., GRP78/BiP, IRE1α, PERK, CHOP) are overexpressed in various malignancies such as breast, pancreatic, lung, and prostate cancers.

Unfolded Protein Response is typically upregulated in cancers and is associated with poorer prognosis due to its role in promoting cell survival, adaptation to stress, and therapeutic resistance. Although the UPR harbors the potential for tumor-suppressive (apoptotic) effects under severe stress conditions, its predominant activation in tumors supports an adaptive, protumorigenic state that facilitates cancer progression. Targeting UPR components and modulating this balance remain promising therapeutic strategies.

Types of Cardiovascular Diseases
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):
This is the most common type of CVD and occurs when the coronary arteries (which supply the heart with blood) are narrowed or blocked, typically due to atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque). CAD can lead to chest pain (angina) or heart attacks.

Cerebrovascular Disease:
Diseases such as stroke fall under this category. A stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot (ischemic stroke) or by bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke).

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD):
PAD involves the narrowing of peripheral arteries, often in the legs, which can cause pain and mobility issues.

Heart Failure:
Heart failure happens when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention.

Cardiac Arrhythmias:
These are problems related to the electrical system of the heart, which can cause irregular heartbeats. They range in severity from benign extra beats to life-threatening ventricular fibrillation.

Valvular Heart Diseases:
These diseases affect the heart valves, potentially causing conditions like stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage), which can compromise the heart’s efficiency.
