摘要

GRP78 (Glucose-related protein 78, BiP/HSPA5) is commonly overexpressed in cancer cells. Acting as an activator of endoplasmic reticulum stress, GRP78 is involved in the resistance of cancer cells to injury. Current evidence suggests that GRP78 plays a significant role in the radiotherapy resistance and chemotherapy resistance of cancers, which is accomplished through a variety of complex pathways. These include the promotion of tumor stemness, inhibition of apoptosis, regulation of autophagy, maintenance of tumor microenvironment homeostasis, protection of dormant cells, evasion of senescence, counteraction of autoantibodies against GRP78, facilitation of DNA damage repair, suppression of ferroptosis, and modulation of metabolic reprogramming in tumor cells. Importantly, chemoradiotherapy resistance in cancers are the main reasons for treatment failure in patients, severely affecting their survival. Investigating the mechanisms of GRP78 in tumor therapeutic resistance is essential. In this article, we review the mechanisms by which GRP78 mediates cell survival and chemoradiotherapy resistance in cancers and provide an overview of clinical trials targeting GRP78 therapy.
