“…ER Ca 2þ stores are depleted by euplotin C through activated RyRs (Cervia et al 2006), by paclitaxel through formation of Bax dimers in the ER (Liao et al 2008), and by epigallocatechin gallate through inhibited protein processing at the level of glucosidase II (Magyar et al 2009) and GRP78/BiP (Ermakova et al 2006). Ca 2þ depletion and ER stress are also induced by cisplatin (Nawrocki et al 2005), dehydrocostuslactone Hung et al 2010), honokiol ), diaryl-and triarylmethanes (Abdelrahim et al 2006, inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (Taiyab et al 2009), n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Jakobsen et al 2008), rhein ), cardiotoxin III (Chien et al 2008), homoharringtonine (Jie et al 2007), berberine (Lin et al 2007b), diindolylmethane (Savino et al 2006), the multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib (Rahmani et al 2007), the p210 bcr-abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitor STI571 (Pattacini et al 2004), parthenolide , photodynamic therapy with tetra-S-glycosylated porphyrin (Thompson et al 2008), and by many other drugs. Edelfosine leads to Bax/ Bak-mediated ER Ca 2þ depletion and apoptosis, without inducing a UPR (Nieto-Miguel et al 2007).…”
