OK, Mike I dug out the following from your post:

biomednet.com

HT1080 cells: a human fibrosarcoma cell line

Further comments on traffic jams and distended ERs:
- to date no effect in cultured cells
- natural examples of ER-stored proteins are known
- (ref/footnote 17 of paper) Aggregate-containing cells grow indefinitely (>180 doublings) at the same rate as control cells, implying that trafficking of a wide spectrum of critical proteins (including growth factor receptors and adhesion proteins) is functionally unaffected (unpublished data). Also, there was no reduction in the amount of protein stored over a 6-month period, indicating that retention of proteins in the ER is a stable phenotype. We also do not detect activation of the ER stress-sensing kinase PERK.
