TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ["Proliferation is a 'multiplier' for extracellular matrix production and contraction of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSC) in fibrotic liver. Transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 channels (TRPM7) are implicated in the survival and proliferation of several kinds of cells. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of TRPM7 blocker 2-APB on survival and proliferation of HSC and the underlying mechanisms.", 'Rat HSC were stimulated by 2-APB for 24 h and then collected for further use. Cell viability was detected by MTT, and apoptosis was determined by AnnexinV/PI staining and TUNEL assay. Gene expressions of TRPM7, α-SMA, bcl-2, bax, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress key members CHOP, caspase-12, ATF4, ATF6, Xbp1, GRP78 and calnexin were evaluated with quantitative RT-PCR. Quantifications of α-SMA, TRPM7, CHOP and GRP78 proteins were carried out by Western blot. Transmission electron microscopy and Xbp1 mRNA splicing analysis were also used for detection of ER stress.', '2-APB decreased TRPM7 and α-SMA expressions in primary HSC, and inhibited proliferation of activated HSC in a dose-dependent manner. 2-APB also decreased total count of activated HSC and increased the number of apoptotic cells. 2-APB increased expressions of bax and ER stress key factors CHOP, caspase-12, ATF4, ATF6, Xbp1, GRP78 and calnexin. Meanwhile, ultra-structural ER changes and spliced Xbp1 mRNA were also observed in 2-APB treated HSC.'] Does blockage of TRPM7 channel induce hepatic stellate cell death through endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis?
OUTPUT:

agent
yes
