Molecular mechanism underlying cardioprotective effect of dehydroepiandrosterone on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced apoptosis in human vascular smooth muscle cells and human u... by Ye Zhu, Junxiu Wei, Xin Yang, Wei Zhu

“…Furthermore, the primary receptor signaling pathways were identified using signaling pathway blockers: LY294002 (PI3K blocker), SP600125 (JNK blocker), and U0126 (ERK1/2 blocker).ResultsIn the DTT pretreatment group (0.8 mmol/L, for 8 h), the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP were significantly up regulated, indicating that an optimal ERS model was successfully established. Additionally, 10-4 mmol/L DHEA significantly inhibited the DTT-induced upregulation of GRP78 and CHOP. …”
