Dorsomorphin (compound C) (0-10 μM, 18 h) suppresses 2DG-induced GRP78 promoter activity in human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells in a dose-dependent manner but has little effect on tunicamycin-induced GRP78 promoter activity. Dorsomorphin (compound C) C also suppresses GRP78 promoter activity induced by glucose withdrawal. Dorsomorphin (compound C) has no effect on 2DG-induced PERK activation and reduces the both basal and 2DG-induced AMPK phosphorylation levels in HT1080 cells^[2].
