Hypoxia Induced Lnc191 Upregulation Dictates the Progression of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Activating GRP78/ERK Pathway by Sisi Wei, Xinyi Fan, Xiaoya Li, Wei Zhou, Zhihua Zhang, Suli Dai, Huilai Lv, Yueping Liu, Baoen Shan, Lianmei Zhao, Qimin Zhan, Yongmei Song

“…These findings provide evidence that the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α)‐mediated transcriptional activation of lnc191 enhances the growth and metastasis of ESCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, lnc191 interacts with GRP78 (78‐kDa glucose‐regulated protein), one of the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone proteins, leading to its translocation to the membrane, where GRP78 binds with EGFR and enhances its phosphorylation (Y845), further activates ERK/MAPK signaling pathway, and thereby in favor of the progression of ESCC. …”
