Application: | Thapsigargin has been used as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inducer: • to study its effect on cyclase-associated protein 2 (CAP2) expression in liver cancer cells • in the cell viability experiment using ARPE -19 cells (human retinal pigment epithelial cells) • to study its effect on lipocalin 2 (LCN2) glycosylation in primary hepatocytes |
Application: | Thapsigargin has been used to study the consequences of calcium depletion in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cells. Thapsigargin has also been used to study its effect on tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA expression in rat Sertoli cells. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Potent, cell-permeable, IP3-independent intracellular calcium releaser. Blocks the transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ induced by angiostatin and endostatin. Induces apoptosis by disrupting intracellular free Ca2+ levels; incorporated into chemotherapeutic prodrug formulations. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Thapsigargin is a non-competitive inhibitor of the ubiquitous sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), commonly used to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in vitro. |
