“…Four members of BH3-only family, BBC3, PMAIP1, BID, and BCL2L11, mediate apoptosis triggered by ER stress (18, 20 -22). In addition, BBC3, PMAIP1, BCL2L11, and TNFRSF10B are regulated by DDIT3 (18,21,23), which is an ER stress-inducible gene and a key mediator of ER stress-induced apoptosis in many cell types including murine fibroblast cells (24), lymphocyte cells (25), and pancreatic  cells (26).…”
