1 Biochemical assays demonstrated that sphere-forming cells were shifted to pro-survival signaling through the inactivation of IRE1 (XBP-1 splicing) and activation of PERK (elF2alpha phosphorylation) branches under tunicamycin-induced ER stress conditions. Tunicamycin eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3 Homo sapiens
2 The proportion of apoptotic cells among sphere-forming cells was markedly increased by the tunicamycin+PERK inhibitor (PERKi) treatment, indicating that PERKi sensitized sphere-forming cells to tunicamycin-induced apoptosis. Tunicamycin eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3 Homo sapiens
