Dimethylformamide 61-64 DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens 253-257 21660448-9 2012 Pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibited DMF-induced upregulation of DR5, CHOP, GPR78, and ATF4 protein expression and blocked the cotreatment-induced apoptosis. Dimethylformamide 51-54 DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens 84-88 21660448-10 2012 Furthermore, DMF-mediated sensitization of HCC cells to TRAIL was reduced by administration of a blocking antibody or small interfering RNAs for DR5, salubrinal, an inhibitor of ER stress, and the small interfering RNAs for CHOP. Dimethylformamide 13-16 DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens 224-228 21660448-12 2012 CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that DMF selectively enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis by ROS-stimulated ER-stress triggering CHOP-mediated DR5 upregulation in HCC.
