Compound 4a induces paraptosis in liver cancer through endoplasmic reticulum stress mediated by the calreticulin protein

Emerging evidence has highlighted that paraptosis may be an effective strategy for treating liver cancer. In our previous studies, Compound 4a induced paraptosis in cancer cells. Here, the characteristics of Compound 4a-induced paraptosis were further revealed and, for the first time, the target and related molecular mechanisms of Compound 4a-induced paraptosis in liver cancer were defined.
