Jiang N, Wang C, Xie B, Xie H, Wu A, Kong X, Gu L, Jiang Y, Peng J. Identification of endoplasmic reticulum stress genes in human stroke based on bioinformatics and machine learning. Neurobiol Dis 2024; 199:106583. [PMID: 38942324 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2024.106583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024] Open
Abstract
After ischemic stroke (IS), secondary injury is intimately linked to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and body-brain crosstalk. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanism systemic immune disorder mediated ER stress in human IS remains unknown. In this study, 32 candidate ER stress-related genes (ERSRGs) were identified by overlapping MSigDB ER stress pathway genes and DEGs. Three Key ERSRGs (ATF6, DDIT3 and ERP29) were identified using LASSO, random forest, and SVM-RFE. IS patients with different ERSRGs profile were clustered into two groups using consensus clustering and the difference between 2 group was further explored by GSVA. Through immune cell infiltration deconvolution analysis, and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse scRNA analysis, we found that the expression of 3 key ERSRGs were closely related with peripheral macrophage cell ER stress in IS and this was further confirmed by RT-qPCR experiment. These ERS genes might be helpful to further accurately regulate the central nervous system and systemic immune response through ER stress and have potential application value in clinical practice in IS.

Abstract
Post-ischemia memory impairment is a major sequela in cerebral ischemia patients. However, cell type-specific molecular pathology in the hippocampus after ischemia is poorly understood. In this study, we adopted a mouse two-vessel occlusion ischemia model (2VO model) to mimic cerebral ischemia-induced memory impairment and investigated the single-cell transcriptome in the hippocampi in 2VO mice. A total of 27,069 cells were corresponding 14 cell types with neuronal, glial, and vascular lineages. We next analyzed cell-specific gene alterations in 2VO mice and the function of these cell-specific genes. Differential expression analysis identified cell type-specific genes with altered expression in neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes in 2VO mice. Notably, four subtypes of oligodendrocyte precursor cells with distinct differentiation pathways were suggested. Taken together, this is the first single-cell transcriptome analysis of gene expression in a 2VO model. Furthermore, we suggested new types of oligodendrocyte precursor cells with angiogenesis and neuroprotective potential, which might offer opportunities to identify new avenues of research and novel targets for ischemia treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of non-apoptotic programmed cell death, and its mechanisms mainly involve the accumulation of lipid peroxides, imbalance in the amino acid antioxidant system, and disordered iron metabolism. The primary organelle responsible for coordinating external challenges and internal cell demands is the endoplasmic reticulum, and the progression of inflammatory diseases can trigger endoplasmic reticulum stress. Evidence has suggested that ferroptosis may share pathways or interact with endoplasmic reticulum stress in many diseases and plays a role in cell survival. Ferroptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress may occur after ischemic stroke. However, there are few reports on the interactions of ferroptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress with ischemic stroke. This review summarized the recent research on the relationships between ferroptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress and ischemic stroke, aiming to provide a reference for developing treatments for ischemic stroke.

Effects of Brimonidine, Omidenepag Isopropyl, and Ripasudil Ophthalmic Solutions to Protect against H 2O 2-Induced Oxidative Stress in Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells. Curr Eye Res 2023; 48:1014-1025. [PMID: 37466387 DOI: 10.1080/02713683.2023.2235892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated whether hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress causes human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cell dysfunction observed in open angle glaucoma (OAG) in vitro, and the effects of topical glaucoma medications on oxidative stress in HTM cells. METHODS We used commercially available ophthalmic solutions of brimonidine, omidenepag isopropyl, and ripasudil in the study. HTM cells were exposed to H2O2 for 1 h, with or without glaucoma medications. We assessed cell viability and senescence via WST-1 and senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity assays. After exposure to H2O2 and glaucoma medications, we evaluated changes in markers of fibrosis and stress by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to measure the mRNA levels of collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), fibronectin, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), endoplasmic reticulum stress markers of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), and splicing X-box binding protein-1 (sXBP-1). RESULTS HTM cell viability decreased and SA-β-Gal activity increased significantly after exposure to H2O2. Treatment with three ophthalmic solutions attenuated these changes. Real-time qPCR revealed that H2O2 upregulated the mRNA levels of COL1A1, fibronectin, α-SMA, CHOP, GRP78, and sXBP-1, whereas it downregulated MMP-2 mRNA expression significantly. Brimonidine suppressed the upregulation of stress markers CHOP and GRP78. Additionally, omidenepag isopropyl and ripasudil decreased the upregulation of COL1A1 and sXBP-1. Furthermore, ripasudil significantly suppressed fibrotic markers fibronectin and α-SMA, compared with the other two medications. CONCLUSION In vitro, H2O2 treatment of HTM cells induced characteristic changes of OAG, such as fibrosis changes and the upregulation of stress markers. These glaucomatous changes were attenuated by additional treatments with brimonidine, omidenepag isopropyl, and ripasudil ophthalmic solutions.

Astrocytic deletion of protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK) does not affect learning and memory in aged mice but worsens outcome from experimental stroke. J Neurosci Res 2023; 101:1586-1610. [PMID: 37314006 PMCID: PMC10524975 DOI: 10.1002/jnr.25224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Aging is associated with cognitive decline and is the main risk factor for a myriad of conditions including neurodegeneration and stroke. Concomitant with aging is the progressive accumulation of misfolded proteins and loss of proteostasis. Accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leads to ER stress and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is mediated, in part, by the eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) kinase protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK). Phosphorylation of eIF2α reduces protein translation as an adaptive mechanism but this also opposes synaptic plasticity. PERK, and other eIF2α kinases, have been widely studied in neurons where they modulate both cognitive function and response to injury. The impact of astrocytic PERK signaling in cognitive processes was previously unknown. To examine this, we deleted PERK from astrocytes (AstroPERKKO ) and examined the impact on cognitive functions in middle-aged and old mice of both sexes. Additionally, we tested the outcome following experimental stroke using the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. Tests of short-term and long-term learning and memory as well as of cognitive flexibility in middle-aged and old mice revealed that astrocytic PERK does not regulate these processes. Following MCAO, AstroPERKKO had increased morbidity and mortality. Collectively, our data demonstrate that astrocytic PERK has limited impact on cognitive function and has a more prominent role in the response to neural injury.

PHLDA1 knockdown alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced neuronal apoptosis via activating PPARγ in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Brain Res Bull 2023; 194:23-34.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occur in ischemic stroke. The disruption of these two organelles can directly lead to cell death through various signaling pathways. Thus, investigation of the associated molecular mechanisms in cerebral ischemia is a prerequisite for stroke treatment. Pleckstrin homology-like domain family A member 1 (PHLDA1) is a multifunctional protein that can modulate mitochondrial function and ER stress in cardiomyocyte and cancer cells. This work studied the role of PHLDA1 in cerebral ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury and explored the underlying mechanisms associated with mitochondrial functions and ER stress. Middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R)-treated mice and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-stimulated neurons were used as I/R models in vivo and in vitro, respectively. PHLDA1 was upregulated in ischemic penumbra of MCAO/R-induced mice and OGD/R-exposed neurons. In vitro, PHLDA1 knockdown protected neurons from OGD/R-induced apoptosis. In vivo, PHLDA1 silencing facilitated functional recovery and reduced cerebral infarct volume. Mechanistically, PHLDA1 knockdown promoted PPARγ nuclear translocation, which may mediate the effects on reversion of mitochondrial functions and alleviation of ER stress. In summary, PHLDA1 knockdown alleviates neuronal ischemic injuries in mice. PPARγ activation and mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress attenuation are involved in the underlying mechanisms.

Leptin alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Biosci Rep 2022; 42:232083. [PMID: 36367210 PMCID: PMC9744719 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20221443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a key factor for the prognosis of ischemic stroke (IS), the leading disease in terms of global disability and fatality rates. Recent studies have shown that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) may be a target against CIRI and that leptin, a peptide hormone, has neuroprotective activity to mitigate CIRI. METHODS An in vitro CIRI model was induced in primary cortical neurons by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) after pretreatment with LY294002 (10 µmol/L) and/or leptin (0.4 mg/L), and cell viability, neuronal morphology and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction were evaluated. An in vivo CIRI model was established in rats by middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) after the injection of LY294002 (10 μmol/L) and/or leptin (1 mg/kg), and neurological function, infarct volume, cerebral pathological changes, the expression of ERS-related proteins and cell apoptosis were examined. RESULTS In vitro, leptin treatment improved the cell survival rate, ameliorated neuronal pathological morphology and alleviated OGD/R-induced ERS. In vivo, administration of leptin significantly reduced the infarct volume, neurological deficit scores and neuronal apoptosis as well as pathological alterations. In addition, leptin suppressed MCAO/R-induced ERS and may decrease apoptosis by inhibiting ERS-related death and caspase 3 activation. It also regulated expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and the proapoptotic protein Bax in the cortex. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of leptin on ERS was significantly decreased by the effective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm that ERS plays an important role in CIRI and that leptin can inhibit the activation of ERS through the PI3K/Akt pathway, thereby alleviating CIRI. These findings provide novel therapeutic targets for IS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disease characterized by irregular menstrual, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. The definitive mechanism of the disorder is not fully elucidated. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammation, hormone secretion, and cell proliferation. STIMs and Orais are the main elements of SOCE. The potential role of SOCE in PCOS pathogenesis remains unclear. METHODS The expression of STIMs and Orais in granulosa cells (GCs) derived from 83 patients with PCOS and 83 controls were analyzed, respectively, by using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Binary regression analysis was used to identify the factors affecting PCOS after adjusted by body mass index and age. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the association between PCOS phenotypes and SOCE genes expression. RESULTS Significantly increased expression of STIM1, STIM2, Orai1, and Orai2 were observed in patients with PCOS compared with controls (P = 0.037, P = 0.004, P ≤ 0.001, and P = 0.013, respectively), whereas the expression of Orai3 was decreased (P = 0.003). In addition, the expression levels of STIMs and Orais were identified as the factors affecting PCOS (P < 0.05). The expressions of these genes were correlated with hormone level and antral follicle count (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS For the first time, our findings indicated that the elements of SOCE were differently expressed, where STIM1, STIM2, Orai1, and Orai2 significantly increased, whereas Orai3 decreased in PCOS GCs, which might be dominantly involved in dysfunction of ovarian GCs and hormonal changes in PCOS.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is the second leading cause of mortality and disability globally. Neuronal damage following ischemic stroke is rapid and irreversible, and eventually results in neuronal death. In addition to activation of cell death signaling, neuroinflammation is also considered as another pathogenesis that can occur within hours after cerebral ischemia. Under physiological conditions, subcellular organelles play a substantial role in neuronal functionality and viability. However, their functions can be remarkably perturbed under neurological disorders, particularly cerebral ischemia. Therefore, their biochemical and structural response has a determining role in the sequel of neuronal cells and the progression of disease. However, their effects on cell death and neuroinflammation, as major underlying mechanisms of ischemic stroke, are still not understood. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the contribution of each organelle on these pathological processes after ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main organelle for protein synthesis, trafficking and maintaining intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. The stress response of ER results from the disruption of ER homeostasis in neurological disorders. Among these disorders, cerebral ischemia is a prevalent reason of death and disability in the world. ER stress stemed from ischemic injury initiates unfolded protein response (UPR) regarded as a protection mechanism. Important, disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis resulted from cytosolic Ca2+ overload and depletion of Ca2+ in the lumen of the ER could be a trigger of ER stress and the misfolded protein synthesis. Brain cells including neurons, glial cells and endothelial cells are involved in the complex pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. This is generally important for protein underfolding, but even more for cytosolic Ca2+ overload. Mild ER stress promotes cells to break away from danger signals and enter the adaptive procedure with the activation of pro-survival mechanism to rescue ischemic injury, while chronic ER stress generally serves as a detrimental role on nerve cells via triggering diverse pro-apoptotic mechanism. What’s more, the determination of some proteins in UPR during cerebral ischemia to cell fate may have two diametrically opposed results which involves in a specialized set of inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways. A reasonable understanding and exploration of the underlying molecular mechanism related to ER stress and cerebral ischemia is a prerequisite for a major breakthrough in stroke treatment in the future. This review focuses on recent findings of the ER stress as well as the progress research of mechanism in ischemic stroke prognosis provide a new treatment idea for recovery of cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke has remained a principal cause of mortality and neurological disabilities worldwide. Blood flow resumption, reperfusion, in the cerebral ischemia prompts a cascade in the brain characterized by various cellular mechanisms like mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stresses, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and excitotoxicity, finally resulting in programmed cell death. Any changes in the ER-mitochondria axis are probably responsible for both the onset and progression of central nervous system diseases. Melatonin, a neurohormone secreted by the pineal gland, has antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Most studies have shown that it exerts neuroprotective effects against ischemic stroke. It was observed that melatonin therapy after the stroke not only leads to reduce mitochondrial dysfunction but also cause to alleviate ER stress and inflammation. This review discusses the impact of melatonin on mitochondrial, ER function, and on the crosstalk between two organelles as a therapeutic target for stroke. Given that the influences of melatonin on each organelle separately, its effects on mechanisms of crosstalk between ER and mitochondria are discussed.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Ischemic stroke results in unfolded/misfolded protein accumulation in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a condition known as ER stress. We hypothesized that previously reported neuroprotection of celecoxib, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model, relies on the ER stress decrease. To probe this hypothesis, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 1 h of tMCAO and treated with celecoxib or vehicle 1 and 24 h after ischemia. Protein and mRNA levels of the main hallmarks of ER stress, unfolded protein response (UPR) activation, UPR-induced cell death, and ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy, the main protein degradation pathways, were measured at 12 and 48 h of reperfusion. Celecoxib treatment decreased polyubiquitinated protein load and ER stress marker expression such as glucose-related protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein) homologous protein (CHOP), and caspase 12 after 48 h of reperfusion. Regarding the UPR activation, celecoxib promoted inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) pathway instead of double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase-like ER kinase (PERK) pathway. Furthermore, celecoxib treatment increased proteasome catalytic subunits transcript levels and decreased p62 protein levels, while the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3B) II/I ratio remained unchanged. Thus, the ability of celecoxib treatment on reducing the ER stress correlates with the enhancement of IRE1-UPR pathway and UPS degradation. These data support the ability of anti-inflammatory therapy in modulating ER stress and reveal the IRE1 pathway as a promising therapeutic target in stroke therapy.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an essential organelle of eukaryotic cells. Its main functions include protein synthesis, proper protein folding, protein modification, and the transportation of synthesized proteins. Any perturbations in ER function, such as increased demand for protein folding or the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER lumen, lead to a stress response called the unfolded protein response (UPR). The primary aim of the UPR is to restore cellular homeostasis; however, it triggers apoptotic signaling during prolonged stress. The core mechanisms of the ER stress response, the failure to respond to cellular stress, and the final fate of the cell are not yet clear. Here, we discuss cellular fate during ER stress, cross talk between the ER and mitochondria and its significance, and conditions that can trigger ER stress response failure. We also describe how the redox environment affects the ER stress response, and vice versa, and the aftermath of the ER stress response, integrating a discussion on redox imbalance-induced ER stress response failure progressing to cell death and dynamic pathophysiological changes. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a cellular organelle responsible for protein folding, is sensitive to chemical imbalances that can induce stress, leading to cell death and disease. Researchers in South Korea, led by Han-Jung Chae from Jeonbuk National University in Jeonju and Hyung-Ryong Kim from Dankook University in Cheonan, review how the ER counters changes in its environment that spur protein folding defects by activating a series of signaling pathways, known collectively as the unfolded protein response. Redox imbalance, may fail adaptive ER stress response that can damage the ER and surrounding mitochondria by modifying cysteine residues. The interaction between the two stress systems, ER stress and oxidative stress, has profound negative impacts on normal physiology. Targeting one or both of these stress mechanisms may therefore be an effective means of treating disease.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a highly conserved molecular machinery, which protects the cells against a diverse variety of stimuli. Activation of this element has been associated with both human health and disease. The purpose of the current manuscript is to provide the most updated information on the involvement of UPR towards the improvement; or deterioration of cardiovascular functions. Since UPR is consisted of three distinct elements, namely the activating transcription factor 6, the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase; and the inositol-requiring enzyme-1α, a highly orchestrated manipulation of those molecular branches may provide new therapeutic possibilities against the severe outcomes of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a major pathology encountered after hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury. Accumulation of unfolded proteins triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), resulting in the activation of pro-apoptotic cascades that lead to cell death. Here, we identified Bax inhibitor 1 (BI-1), an evolutionarily conserved protein encoded by the transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif-containing 6 (TMBIM6) gene, as a novel modulator of ER-stress-induced apoptosis after HI brain injury in a neonatal rat pup. The main objective of our study was to overexpress BI-1, via viral-mediated gene delivery of human adenoviral-TMBIM6 (Ad-TMBIM6) vector, to investigate its anti-apoptotic effects as well as to elucidate its signaling pathways in an in vivo neonatal HI rat model and in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model. Ten-day-old unsexed Sprague Dawley rat pups underwent right common carotid artery ligation followed by 1.5 h of hypoxia. Rat pups injected with Ad-TMBIM6 vector, 48 h pre-HI, showed a reduction in relative infarcted area size, attenuated neuronal degeneration and improved long-term neurological outcomes. Furthermore, silencing of BI-1 or further activating the IRE1α branch of the UPR, using a CRISPR activation plasmid, was shown to reverse the protective effects of BI-1. Based on our in vivo and in vitro data, the protective effects of BI-1 are mediated via inhibition of IRE1α signaling and in part via inhibition of the second stress sensor receptor, PERK. Overall, this study showed a novel role for BI-1 and ER stress in the pathophysiology of HI and could provide a basis for BI-1 as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is known to cause the accumulation of misfolded proteins and loss of calcium homeostasis leading to impairment of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an ER-located and cytoprotective pathway that aims to resolve ER stress. Transmembrane BAX inhibitor-1 motif-containing (TMBIM) protein family member TMBIM3/GRINA is highly expressed in the brain and mostly located at the ER membrane suppressing ER calcium release by inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. GRINA confers neuroprotection and is regulated by erythropoietin (EPO) after murine cerebral ischemia. However, the role of GRINA and the impact of EPO treatment on the post-ischemic UPR have not been elucidated yet. We subjected GRINA-deficient (Grina−/−) and wildtype mice to transient (30 min) middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAo) followed by 6 h or 72 h of reperfusion. We administered EPO or saline 0, 24 and 48 h after tMCAo/sham surgery. Oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) and pharmacological stimulation of the UPR using Tunicamycin and Thapsigargin were carried out in primary murine cortical mixed cell cultures. Treatment with the PERK-inhibitor GSK-2606414, IRE1a-RNase-inhibitor STF-083010 and EPO was performed 1 h prior to either 1 h, 2 h or 3 h of OGD. We found earlier and larger infarct demarcations in Grina−/− mice compared to wildtype mice, which was accompanied by a worse neurological outcome and an abolishment of EPO-mediated neuroprotection after ischemic stroke. In addition, GRINA-deficiency increased apoptosis and the activation of the corresponding PERK arm of the UPR after stroke. EPO enhanced the post-ischemic activation of pro-survival IRE1a and counteracted the pro-apoptotic PERK branch of the UPR. Both EPO and the PERK-inhibitor GSK-2606414 reduced cell death and regulated Grina mRNA levels after OGD. In conclusion, GRINA plays a crucial role in post-ischemic UPR and the use of both GSK-2606414 and EPO might lead to neuroprotection.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia is a complex pathology involving a cascade of cellular mechanisms, which deregulate proteostasis and lead to neuronal death. Proteostasis refers to the equilibrium between protein synthesis, folding, transport, and protein degradation. Within the brain proteostasis plays key roles in learning and memory by controlling protein synthesis and degradation. Two important pathways are implicated in the regulation of proteostasis: the unfolded protein response (UPR) and macroautophagy (called hereafter autophagy). Both are necessary for cell survival, however, their over-activation in duration or intensity can lead to cell death. Moreover, UPR and autophagy can activate and potentiate each other to worsen the issue of cerebral ischemia. A better understanding of autophagy and ER stress will allow the development of therapeutic strategies for stroke, both at the acute phase and during recovery. This review summarizes the latest therapeutic advances implicating ER stress or autophagy in cerebral ischemia. We argue that the processes governing proteostasis should be considered together in stroke, rather than focusing either on ER stress or autophagy in isolation.

Abstract
Activation of the unfolded protein response in combination with generation of reactive oxygen species, from cytochrome P450 members and NADPH-P450 reductases, are two major consequences of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress that cause oxidative damage and cell death. Herein, we reviewed the role of Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1), an evolutionarily conserved protein encoded by the Transmembrane Bax inhibitor Motif Containing 6 gene, in protection from ER stress. As BI-1 has multimodal properties that can target a wide array of pathophysiological consequences after injury, our main objective was to explore BI-1's protective role in ER stress and its potential signaling pathways.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) -related stress conserved pathway that aims to protect cells from being overwhelmed. However, when prolonged, UPR activation converts to a death signal, which relies on its PERK-eIF2α branch. Overactivation of the UPR has been implicated in many neurological diseases, including cerebral ischaemia. Here, by using an in vivo thromboembolic model of stroke on transgenic ER stress-reporter mice and neuronal in vitro models of ischaemia, we demonstrate that ischaemic stress leads to the deleterious activation of the PERK branch of the UPR. Moreover, we show that the serine protease tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) can bind to cell surface Grp78 (78 kD glucose-regulated protein), leading to a decrease of the PERK pathway activation, thus a decrease of the deleterious factor CHOP, and finally promotes neuroprotection. Altogether, this work highlights a new role and a therapeutic potential of the chaperone protein Grp78 as a membrane receptor of tPA capable to prevent from ER stress overactivation.

Abstract
Folding and processing newly synthesized proteins are vital functions of the endoplasmic reticulum that are sensitive to a variety of stress conditions. The unfolded protein response is activated to restore endoplasmic reticulum function impaired by stress. While we know that brain ischemia impairs endoplasmic reticulum function, the role of unfolded protein response activation in post-ischemic recovery of neurologic function is only beginning to emerge. Here, we summarize what is known about endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response in brain ischemia and discuss recent findings from myocardial ischemia studies that could help to advance research on endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response in brain ischemia.

Abstract
In neurological disorders, both acute and chronic neural stress can disrupt cellular proteostasis, resulting in the generation of pathological protein. However in most cases, neurons adapt to these proteostatic perturbations by activating a range of cellular protective and repair responses, thus maintaining cell function. These interconnected adaptive mechanisms comprise a 'proteostasis network' and include the unfolded protein response, the ubiquitin proteasome system and autophagy. Interestingly, several recent studies have shown that these adaptive responses can be stimulated by preconditioning treatments, which confer resistance to a subsequent toxic challenge - the phenomenon known as hormesis. In this review we discuss the impact of adaptive stress responses stimulated in diverse human neuropathologies including Parkinson׳s disease, Wolfram syndrome, brain ischemia, and brain cancer. Further, we examine how these responses and the molecular pathways they recruit might be exploited for therapeutic gain. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled SI:ER stress.

Abstract
Injury to the central or peripheral nervous systems leads to the loss of cognitive and/or sensorimotor capabilities that still lack an effective treatment. Although injury to the nervous system involves multiple and complex molecular factors, alteration to protein homeostasis is emerging as a relevant pathological mechanism. In particular, chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is proposed as a possible driver of neuronal dysfunction in conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke and damage to peripheral nerves. Importantly, manipulation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a homeostatic pathway engaged by ER stress, has proved effective in improving cognitive and motor recovery after nervous system injury. Here we provide an overview on recent findings depicting a functional role of the UPR to the functional recovery after injury in the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Abstract
The roles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in liver ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) have been well recognized. However, the impact of rapamycin (Rapa), a broadly used immunosuppressive agent in human liver transplantation, on ER stress during IRI remains unclear. This study was designed to investigate the roles of Rapa in the regulation of ER stress in vivo and in vitro. In a mouse liver partial warm ischemia and reperfusion mode, we demonstrated that Rapa markedly protected livers from IRI, as evidenced by serum alanine aminotransferase (sALT) levels and liver histology. Then we also confirmed the protection of Rapa from thapsigargin (Tg)-induced cell death in primary hepatocytes. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that the ER stress markers were markedly up-regulated by IRI and Tg treatment, whereas they were down-regulated by Rapa pretreatment, as monitored by Western blot at the protein levels and by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels. In addition, it was also revealed that Rapa was able to remarkably inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and enhance autophagy both in IR-stressed livers and Tg-treated primary hepatocytes. Thus, these results suggest that Rapa protects livers from IRI through inhibiting the ER stress pathway.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a fascinating network of tubules through which secretory and transmembrane proteins enter unfolded and exit as either folded or misfolded proteins, after which they are directed either toward other organelles or to degradation, respectively. The ER redox environment dictates the fate of entering proteins, and the level of redox signaling mediators modulates the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Accumulating evidence suggests the interrelation of ER stress and ROS with redox signaling mediators such as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin (ERO)-1, glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disuphide (GSSG), NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4), NADPH-P450 reductase (NPR), and calcium. Here, we reviewed persistent ER stress and protein misfolding-initiated ROS cascades and their significant roles in the pathogenesis of multiple human disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, inflammation, ischemia, and kidney and liver diseases.

Abstract
Nicotine, one of the active components in cigarette smoke, has been described to contribute to the protective effect of smoking in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Furthermore, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α7 subunit (α7nAChR) expressed on immune cells, is an essential regulator of inflammation. As intestinal epithelial cells also express α7nAChR, we investigated how nicotine could participate in the homeostasis of intestinal epithelial cells. First, using the human adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29, we revealed that nicotine, which triggers an influx of extracellular Ca(2+) following α7nAChR stimulation, induces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production associated with a disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential and endoplasmic reticulum stress. This results in caspase-3 activation, which in turn induces apoptosis. Additionally, we have shown that nicotine induces a PI3-K dependent up-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. In this context, we suggest that this key mediator participates in the cytoprotective effects of nicotine against apoptosis by stimulating autophagy in colon cancer cells. Our results provide new insight into one potential mechanism by which nicotine could protect from UC and suggest an anti-inflammatory role for the cholinergic pathway at the epithelial cell level.

Abstract
With the rise of aging populations, new challenges for health care systems are emerging. Degenerative conditions of the central nervous system share a strikingly great deal of similarities, particularly the production and buildup of malfolded proteins. As a result, stress pathways within the endoplasmic reticulum become activated, triggering widespread neuronal apoptosis. New pharmacological compounds targeting this response are emerging as promising treatment strategies. This review examines the current evidence for protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease states and discusses future mechanisms of therapeutically targeting the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Transient cerebral ischemia leads to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the contributions of ER stress to cerebral ischemia are not clear. To address this issue, the ER stress activators tunicamycin (TM) and thapsigargin (TG) were administered to transient middle cerebral artery occluded (tMCAO) mice and oxygen-glucose deprivation-reperfusion (OGD-Rep.)-treated neurons. Both TM and TG showed significant protection against ischemia-induced brain injury, as revealed by reduced brain infarct volume and increased glucose uptake rate in ischemic tissue. In OGD-Rep.-treated neurons, 4-PBA, the ER stress releasing mechanism, counteracted the neuronal protection of TM and TG, which also supports a protective role of ER stress in transient brain ischemia. Knocking down the ER stress sensor Eif2s1, which is further activated by TM and TG, reduced the OGD-Rep.-induced neuronal cell death. In addition, both TM and TG prevented PARK2 loss, promoted its recruitment to mitochondria, and activated mitophagy during reperfusion after ischemia. The neuroprotection of TM and TG was reversed by autophagy inhibition (3-methyladenine and Atg7 knockdown) as well as Park2 silencing. The neuroprotection was also diminished in Park2(+/-) mice. Moreover, Eif2s1 and downstream Atf4 silencing reduced PARK2 expression, impaired mitophagy induction, and counteracted the neuroprotection. Taken together, the present investigation demonstrates that the ER stress induced by TM and TG protects against the transient ischemic brain injury. The PARK2-mediated mitophagy may be underlying the protection of ER stress. These findings may provide a new strategy to rescue ischemic brains by inducing mitophagy through ER stress activation.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can result from several pathological conditions that perturb ER homeostasis and is characterized by accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER lumen. To cope with ER stress, cells activate the unfolded protein response (UPR), a protein quality control mechanism aimed at restoring homeostasis. The present study was undertaken to characterize the UPR after neonatal hypoxia/ischemia (HI) and its crosstalk with autophagy. After HI, there was a significant increase of GRP78 and Hsp70 expression, phosphorylation of eIF2α, Xbp-1 mRNA splicing and CHOP expression, revealing severe ER stress and UPR. Increasing autophagy with rapamycin (Rap) significantly reduced the UPR. Rap did not further increase the eIF2α phosphorylation and p70S6 kinase (p70S6K) inactivation induced by HI. After autophagy activation, however, there was a clear co-localization between monodansylcadaverine (MDC)-positive autophagosome-like structures and the ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6), indicating the presence of ribosomes in autophagosomes (ribophagy). We found that the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine administered after Rap treatment completely reverted the increased phosphorylation of eIF2α and p70S6K inactivation, and blocked the formation of autophagosome-like structures restoring the UPR. These results demonstrate that the UPR is strongly activated after neonatal HI. Over-activation of autophagy significantly reduces this response, highlighting the relevance of the cross-talk between ER and the autophagy machinery in this important pathological condition. Furthermore, the presence of ribosome subunits in autophagosome-like structures suggests that increased ribosome turnover through autophagy (ribophagy) may represent an additional mechanism involved in the neuroprotective effect observed after autophagy over-activation.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction might have an important part to play in a range of neurological disorders, including cerebral ischaemia, sleep apnoea, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the prion diseases, and familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies. Protein misfolding in the ER initiates the well studied unfolded protein response in energy-starved neurons during stroke, which is relevant to the toxic effects of reperfusion. The toxic peptide amyloid β induces ER stress in Alzheimer's disease, which leads to activation of similar pathways, whereas the accumulation of polymeric neuroserpin in the neuronal ER triggers a poorly understood ER-overload response. In other neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, ER dysfunction is well recognised but the mechanisms by which it contributes to pathogenesis remain unclear. By targeting components of these signalling responses, amelioration of their toxic effects and so the treatment of a range of neurodegenerative disorders might become possible.

Jordan‐Sciutto (2012) Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology38, 175–200 Activation status of integrated stress response pathways in neurones and astrocytes of HIV‐associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) cortex Aims: Combined anti‐retroviral therapy (cART) has led to a reduction in the incidence of HIV‐associated dementia (HAD), a severe motor/cognitive disorder afflicting HIV(+) patients. However, the prevalence of subtler forms of neurocognitive dysfunction, which together with HAD are termed HIV‐associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), continues to escalate in the post‐cART era. The microgliosis, astrogliosis, dendritic damage, and synaptic and neuronal loss observed in autopsy cases suggest an underlying neuroinflammatory process, due to the neurotoxic factors released by HIV‐infected/activated macrophages/microglia in the brain, might underlie the pathogenesis of HAND in the post‐cART era. These factors are known to induce the integrated stress response (ISR) in several neurodegenerative diseases; we have previously shown that BiP, an indicator of general ISR activation, is upregulated in cortical autopsy tissue from HIV‐infected patients. The ISR is composed of three pathways, each with its own initiator protein: PERK, IRE1α and ATF6. Methods: To further elucidate the specific ISR pathways activated in the central nervous system of HAND patients, we examined the protein levels of several ISR proteins, including ATF6, peIF2α and ATF4, in cortical tissue from HIV‐infected patients. Results: The ISR does not respond in an all‐or‐none fashion in HAND, but rather demonstrates a nuanced activation pattern. Specifically, our studies implicate the ATF6 pathway of the ISR as a more likely candidate than the PERK pathway for increases in BiP levels in astrocytes. Conclusion: These findings begin to characterize the nature of the ISR response in HAND and provide potential targets for therapeutic intervention in this disease.

Abstract
Poor viability of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the infracted heart has limited their therapeutic efficacy in cardiac repair after myocardial infarction. We previously demonstrated that hypoxia and serum deprivation (hypoxia/SD) induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in MSCs, while lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) could almost completely block this apoptotic process. However, the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and its upstream signaling events in hypoxia/SD-induced MSC apoptosis remain largely unknown. Here we found that hypoxia/SD-induced MSC apoptosis was associated with ER stress, as shown by the induction of CHOP expression and procaspase-12 cleavage, while the effects were abrogated by LPA treatment, suggesting ER stress is also a target of LPA. Furthermore, hypoxia/SD induced p38 activation, inhibition of which resulted in decreases of apoptotic cells, procaspase-12 cleavage and mitochondrial cytochrome c release that function in parallel in MSC apoptosis. Unexpectedly, p38 inhibition enhanced hypoxia/SD-induced CHOP expression. Interestingly, p38 activation, a common process mediating various biological effects of LPA, was inhibited by LPA in this study, and the regulation of p38 pathway by LPA was dependent on LPA(1/3)/Gi/ERK1/2 pathway-mediated MKP-1 induction but independent of PI3K/Akt pathway. Collectively, our findings indicate that ER stress is a target of LPA to antagonize hypoxia/SD-induced MSC apoptosis, and the modulation of mitochondrial and ER stress-associated apoptotic pathways by LPA is at least partly dependent on LPA(1/3)/Gi/ERK/MKP-1 pathway-mediated p38 inhibition. This study may provide new anti-apoptotic targets for elevating the viability of MSCs for therapeutic potential of cardiac repair.

Abstract
In animal models, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis take place around cerebral infarction areas during ischemia, which presumably protect tissues from necroses-induced injury as well as promote cells toward death. We examined whether these pathological changes, especially temporal occurrence, were present in patients who suffered from cerebral ischemia. The studies by immunohistochemistry show that ER chaperone glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and caspase-9 elevate around infarction areas. The experiments by terminal deoxynucleotidy transferase-mediated 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL) illustrate that TUNEL-positive cells are higher around infarction tissues than controls. Moreover, GRP78, caspase-9 and TUNEL cells emerge one after another during ischemia. In conclusion, ER stress, apoptosis initiation and DNA fragment develop sequentially in ischemic human brain. ER stress during excessive ischemia stimulates apoptotic cell death beyond activating a defense for nerve cells being away from injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Age and excessive energy intake/obesity are risk factors for cerebrovascular disease, but it is not known if and how these factors affect the extent of brain damage and outcome in ischemic stroke. We therefore determined the interactions of age and energy intake on the outcome of ischemic brain injury, and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. METHODS We utilized a novel microchip-based immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis technology to measure a panel of neurotrophic factors, cytokines, and cellular stress resistance proteins in brain tissue samples from young, middle-aged, and old mice that had been maintained on control or energy-restricted diets prior to middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. RESULTS Mortality from focal ischemic stroke was increased with advancing age and reduced by an intermittent fasting (IF) diet. Brain damage and functional impairment were reduced by IF in young and middle-aged mice, but not in old mice. The basal and poststroke levels of neurotrophic factors (brain-derived neurotrophic factor and basic fibroblast growth factor), protein chaperones (heat shock protein 70 and glucose regulated protein 78), and the antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase-1 were decreased, whereas levels of inflammatory cytokines were increased in the cerebral cortex and striatum of old mice compared with younger mice. IF coordinately increased levels of protective proteins and decreased inflammatory cytokines in young, but not in old mice. INTERPRETATION Reduction in dietary energy intake differentially modulates neurotrophic and inflammatory pathways to protect neurons against ischemic injury, and these beneficial effects of IF are compromised during aging, resulting in increased brain damage and poorer functional outcome.

Abstract
Cortical stem cell transplantation may help replace lost brain cells after stroke and improve the functional outcome. In this study, we transplanted human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neural precursor cells (hNPCs) or vehicle into the cortex of rats after permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) or sham-operation, and followed functional recovery in the cylinder and staircase tests. The hNPCs were examined prior to transplantation, and they expressed neuroectodermal markers but not markers for undifferentiated hESCs or non-neural cells. The rats were housed in either enriched environment or standard cages to examine the effects of additive rehabilitative therapy. In the behavioral tests dMCAO groups showed significant impairments compared with sham group before transplantation. Vehicle groups remained significantly impaired in the cylinder test 1 and 2 months after vehicle injection, whereas hNPC transplanted groups did not differ from the sham group. Rehabilitation or hNPC transplantation had no effect on reaching ability measured in the staircase test, and no differences were found in the cortical infarct volumes. After 2 months we measured cell survival and differentiation in vivo using stereology and confocal microscopy. Housing had no effect on cell survival or differentiation. The majority of the transplanted hNPCs were positive for the neural precursor marker nestin. A portion of transplanted cells expressed neuronal markers 2 months after transplantation, whereas only a few cells co-localized with astroglial or oligodendrocyte markers. In conclusion, hESC-derived neural precursor transplants provided some improvement in sensorimotor function after dMCAO, but did not restore more complicated sensorimotor functions.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic trauma leads to organ dysfunction, sepsis and death. There is abnormal production of proinflammatory cytokines by Kupffer cells, tissue hypoxia and liver injury following trauma-hemorrhage. The physiological conditions consequent to trauma-hemorrhage are consistent with factors necessary to initiate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and unfolded protein response. However, the contribution of ER stress to apoptosis and liver injury after trauma-hemorrhage is not known. In the present study ER stress was investigated in mice that underwent trauma-hemorrhage or sham operation. Expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins Bip, ATF6, PERK, IRE1alpha, and PDI were significantly elevated in the liver after trauma-hemorrhage compared to the controls. The ER stress associated proapoptotic transcription factor CHOP protein expression was also significantly elevated in trauma-hemorrhage group. Consistent with this, enhanced DNA fragmentation was observed, confirming apoptosis, in the liver following trauma-hemorrhage. These results demonstrate the initiation of ER stress and its role in apoptosis and liver injury, subsequent to hemorrhagic trauma.

Abstract
A number of pathophysiological insults lead to accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cause ER stress. In response to accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins, cells adapt themselves to the stress condition via the unfolded protein response (UPR). For the cells, UPR is a double-edged sword. It triggers both prosurvival and proapoptotic signals. ER stress and UPR may, therefore, be involved in a diverse range of pathological situations. However, currently, information is limited regarding roles of ER stress and UPR in the renal pathophysiology. This review describes current knowledge on the relationship between ER stress and diseases and summarizes evidence for the link between ER stress/UPR and renal diseases.

Abstract
The prevalence of HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (NCI), which includes HIV-associated dementia (HAD) and minor cognitive and motor disorder (MCMD), has been increasing. HIV-infected and/or activated macrophages/microglia in the brain initiate the neurodegeneration seen in HIV-associated NCI via soluble neurotoxic mediators, including reactive oxygen species, viral proteins and excitotoxins. Neurotoxic factors released by macrophages/microglia injure neurones directly and alter astrocytic homeostatic functions, which can lead to excitotoxicity and oxidative stress-mediated neuronal injury. Often, cells respond to oxidative stress by initiating the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Thus, we hypothesize that ER stress response is activated in HIV-infected cortex. We used immunofluorescence and immunoblotting to assess expression patterns of the ER stress proteins, BiP and ATF6, in HIV-positive cortical autopsy tissue. Additionally, we performed immunofluorescence using cell type-specific markers to examine BiP staining in different cell types, including neurones, astrocytes and macrophages/microglia. We observed a significant increase in BiP expression by both immunoblotting and immunofluorescence in HIV-positive cortex compared with control tissue. Additionally, phenotypic analysis of immunofluorescence showed cell type-specific increases in BiP levels in neurones and astrocytes. Further, ATF-6beta, an ER stress response initiator, is up-regulated in the same patient group, as assessed by immunoblotting. These results suggest that ER stress response is activated in HIV-infected cortex. Moreover, data presented here indicate for the first time that numbers of macrophages/microglia increase in brains of MCMD patients, as has been observed in HAD.

Abstract
Glycine is a critical factor in ischemia as reduced astrocytic and increased extracellular glycine levels aggravate the neurotoxic effect of glutamate and consequently, increase the extent of brain damage. Extracellular levels of glycine are primarily regulated by the plasma membrane glycine transporter 1. In the present study, we examined the effects of transient ischemia (1 h occlusion of the middle cerebral artery; followed by 0 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 24 h or 48 h reperfusion) on immunoreactivity and mRNA expression of glycine transporter 1 in the rat forebrain. In control animals, glycine transporter 1-immunoreactivity was strong in diencephalic and certain telencephalic structures, moderate in the globus pallidus, and rather low in the cortex and striatum. In situ hybridization studies revealed a similar distribution pattern of glycine transporter 1 mRNA expression. One hour occlusion of the middle cerebral artery resulted in a significant decrease in ipsilateral glycine transporter 1-immunoreactivity and mRNA expression in a circumscribed region of the preoptic/hypothalamic area; both the immunoreactivity and mRNA exhibited further reductions with increasing reperfusion time. In contrast, the cerebral cortex and the globus pallidus showed an increase of glycine transporter 1-immunoreactivity after 0.5 h reperfusion; the elevation proved to be transient in the somatosensory cortex and remained sustained in the globus pallidus after longer reperfusion times. Western blot analysis of globus pallidus samples from the ipsilateral side confirmed higher glycine transporter 1 protein levels. These results suggest an elevated expression of the transporter protein facilitating the glial uptake of glycine from the extracellular space. However, glycine transporter 1 mRNA expression was not significantly different in the penumbra regions from the corresponding contralateral sites of the injury. Together, these findings indicate that post-translational mechanisms are of primary importance in elevating glycine transporter 1 protein levels following transient ischemia.

Abstract
Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are properly folded with the assistance of ER chaperones. Malfolded proteins are disposed of by ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). When the amount of unfolded protein exceeds the folding capacity of the ER, human cells activate a defense mechanism called the ER stress response, which induces expression of ER chaperones and ERAD components and transiently attenuates protein synthesis to decrease the burden on the ER. It has been revealed that three independent response pathways separately regulate induction of the expression of chaperones, ERAD components, and translational attenuation. A malfunction of the ER stress response caused by aging, genetic mutations, or environmental factors can result in various diseases such as diabetes, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and bipolar disorder, which are collectively known as 'conformational diseases'. In this review, I will summarize recent progress in this field. Molecules that regulate the ER stress response would be potential candidates for drug targets in various conformational diseases.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a complex genetic response that may include the expression of organelle specific stress genes. We investigated the effects of brain trauma on the expression of a number of stress genes by in situ hybridization and Western blot analysis including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress gene grp78, ER protein processing enzymes calnexin and protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), the mitochondrial stress gene hsp60, and the cytoplasmic stress gene hsp70. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected either to sham-surgery or moderate (1.8-2.2 atm) parasagittal fluid-percussion (F-P) brain injury followed by 30 min of either normoxic or hypoxic (30-40 mm Hg) gas levels. Expression of grp78 was increased in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex and dentate gyrus beginning 4 h after trauma plus hypoxia. Similarly, mRNA encoding the mitochondrial hsp60 was induced in the ipsilateral outer cortical layers at 4-24 h after TBI plus hypoxia. Calnexin and PDI mRNAs were not significantly altered following TBI with or without secondary hypoxia. In contrast, mRNA of the cytoplasmic hsp70 was strongly induced at 4 h after brain injury in multiple brain regions within the injured hemisphere, and this expression was greatly enhanced by secondary hypoxia. Because subcellular stress gene expression may reflect where unfolded or damaged proteins are abundant, these findings suggest that abnormal proteins are localized mainly in the cytoplasm, and to a lesser degree in the ER lumen and mitochondria after brain trauma. Thus, distinct parts of the cellular machinery respond to traumatic and metabolic stresses in specific ways.
