ER stress activates TAp73α through the PERK pathway. (A) HCT116p53-/- cells were treated with or without ER stress inducers for 24 h and then subjected to qPCR analysis. (B) HCT116p53-/- cells stably expressing shC, shPERK, shATF6α or shIRE1α were subjected to western blotting. (C) HCT116p53-/- cells stably expressing shC or shPERK were subjected to qPCR analysis. (D-E) HCT116p53-/- cells stably expressing empty vector (EV) or PERK were subjected to western blot analysis (D) and qPCR analysis (E). The results are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments; **P<0.01.
