Fig 5. Proposed mechanism of DTX induced cardiotoxicity: Involvement of ER stress.

Fig 5

DTX induces BIP, CHOP, ATF6 expression and reduces GADD34 expression increasing phosphorylated eIF2a levels. Unresolved ER stress will eventually lead to cell death (caspase-mediated apoptosis). Rounded ends indicate inhibitory pathways; arrows indicate stimulatory pathways.
