Cloots E, Guilbert P, Provost M, Neidhardt L, Van de Velde E, Fayazpour F, De Sutter D, Savvides SN, Eyckerman S, Janssens S. Activation of goblet-cell stress sensor IRE1β is controlled by the mucin chaperone AGR2. EMBO J 2024; 43:695-718. [PMID: 38177501 PMCID: PMC10907643 DOI: 10.1038/s44318-023-00015-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Intestinal goblet cells are secretory cells specialized in the production of mucins, and as such are challenged by the need for efficient protein folding. Goblet cells express Inositol-Requiring Enzyme-1β (IRE1β), a unique sensor in the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is part of an adaptive mechanism that regulates the demands of mucin production and secretion. However, how IRE1β activity is tuned to mucus folding load remains unknown. We identified the disulfide isomerase and mucin chaperone AGR2 as a goblet cell-specific protein that crucially regulates IRE1β-, but not IRE1α-mediated signaling. AGR2 binding to IRE1β disrupts IRE1β oligomerization, thereby blocking its downstream endonuclease activity. Depletion of endogenous AGR2 from goblet cells induces spontaneous IRE1β activation, suggesting that alterations in AGR2 availability in the endoplasmic reticulum set the threshold for IRE1β activation. We found that AGR2 mutants lacking their catalytic cysteine, or displaying the disease-associated mutation H117Y, were no longer able to dampen IRE1β activity. Collectively, these results demonstrate that AGR2 is a central chaperone regulating the goblet cell UPR by acting as a rheostat of IRE1β endonuclease activity.

Abstract
Cells are exposed to a wide variety of internal and external stresses. Although many studies have focused on cellular responses to acute and severe stresses, little is known about how cellular systems adapt to sublethal chronic stresses. Using mammalian cells in culture, we discovered that they adapt to chronic mild stresses of up to two weeks, notably proteotoxic stresses such as heat, by increasing their size and translation, thereby scaling the amount of total protein. These adaptations render them more resilient to persistent and subsequent stresses. We demonstrate that Hsf1, well known for its role in acute stress responses, is required for the cell size increase, and that the molecular chaperone Hsp90 is essential for coupling the cell size increase to augmented translation. We term this translational reprogramming the 'rewiring stress response', and propose that this protective process of chronic stress adaptation contributes to the increase in size as cells get older, and that its failure promotes aging.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by sustained hyperglycemia caused by impaired insulin signaling and secretion. Metabolic stress, caused by an inappropriate diet, is one of the major hallmarks provoking inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of highly conserved proteins that have a crucial role in chaperoning damaged and misfolded proteins to avoid disruption of cellular homeostasis under stress conditions. To do this, HSPs interact with diverse intra-and extracellular pathways among which are the insulin signaling, insulin secretion, and apoptosis pathways. Therefore, HSP dysfunction, e.g. HSP70, may lead to disruption of the pathways responsible for insulin secretion and uptake. Consistently, the altered expression of other HSPs and genetic polymorphisms in HSP-producing genes in diabetic subjects has made HSPs hot research in T2DM. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the role of different HSPs in T2DM pathogenesis, affected cellular pathways, and the potential therapeutic strategies targeting HSPs in T2DM.

Ageing Res Rev 2023; 90:102000.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum stress is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). Our previous study has revealed that thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) attenuated IRE1 activation in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+)/1-methy-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD models. However, its exact mechanism has been largely unclear. In this research, it was reported for the first time that the protein levels of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and phosphorylated cell division cycle 37 (p-Cdc37) were significantly decreased and the interaction of Hsp90/p-Cdc37 complex with IRE1 was disturbed in MPP+/MPTP-induced PD models. Trx-1 overexpression reversed the expression of Hsp90 and p-Cdc37 in cultured cells and the substantia nigra pars compacta of mice. More importantly, Trx-1 overexpression enhanced the interaction of Hsp90/p-Cdc37 complex with IRE1. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that Trx-1 inhibited IRE1 activation in PD by elevating the expression of Hsp90 and p-Cdc37 and strengthening the interaction of Hsp90/p-Cdc37 complex and IRE1.

Abstract
Salix babylonica L. is a species of the willow tree. Insulinoma is a tumor originating from pancreatic beta cells. This study aims to research the effect of different fractions of Salix babylonica L. leaf extract on INS-1 cells for treating pancreatic tumors. Cell death occurred at lower doses in the EtOAc fraction. The cells are functional in the BuOH fraction but not in EtOAc and H2O fractions. The EtOAc fraction has a higher percentage of necrosis and ROS. INS1, INS2, and AKT gene expressions in the H2O fraction, GLUT2, IR, HSP70 gene expressions, and WNT4 protein levels increased in the BuOH fraction. HSP90 gene expression, Beta-actin, GAPDH, insulin, HSP70, HSP90, HSF1, Beta-Catenin, and WNT7A protein levels were decreased, while IR immunolabelling intensity increased in both fractions. Ca+2, K+, Na+, and CA-19-9 in the cell, Ca+2 and K+ in secretion increased. The secondary metabolites in the EtOAc fraction cause more damage in INS-1 cells. Since the water fraction also causes the cells to die in high doses, cell function is damaged. The secondary metabolites in the BuOH fraction kill INS-1 cells with less damage. This makes the BuOH fraction of Salix babylonica L. more valuable.

Abstract
The interaction between the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy plays either pro-survival or pro-apoptotic roles in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Our previous study has shown that the combination therapy of arsenite (As3+) and selenite (Se4+) induces apoptosis in APL NB4 cells, although the mechanisms are not clear. Here, we demonstrate that the interaction between heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)-mediated UPR and autophagy is the core module for As3+/Se4+ combination-induced apoptosis. Hsp90 overexpression and knockdown assays indicate that Hsp90 inhibition by PERK modulates two branches of the UPR, leading to the activation of ATF4 and CHOP, causing the degradation of IRE1α and the dephosphorylation of eIF2α, thereby contributing to switching the cytoprotective UPR into an apoptotic pathway. Assays using pretreatment with inducers and inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and autophagy reveal that autophagy is stimulated by ERS but suppressed by As3+/Se4+ combination via the mTOR signaling pathway. However, inhibition of autophagy decreases GRP78 expression and eIF2α phosphorylation, thereby further promoting ERS-induced apoptosis. Moreover, As3+/Se4+ combination blocks hepatic infiltration in an APL-NCG mouse model of extramedullary infiltration. Taken together, these findings provide novel agents and therapeutic approaches for APL.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can lead to synovial inflammation, pannus formation, cartilage damage, bone destruction, and ultimate disability. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are involved in the pathogenetic mechanism of RA. Cdc37 (cell division cycle protein 37) is regarded as a molecular chaperone involved in various physiological processes such as cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, cell signal transduction, tumorigenesis, and progression. However, the precise role of Cdc37 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains uncertain. In our study, we found that Cdc37 expression was upregulated in human rheumatoid synovia in contrast with the normal group. Interestingly, Cdc37 activated the ERK pathway to promote RA-FLS proliferation and migration in vitro. Ultimately, in vivo experiments revealed that silencing of Cdc37 alleviated ankle swelling and cartilage destruction and validated the ERK signaling pathways in vitro findings. Collectively, we demonstrate that Cdc37 promotes the proliferation and migration of RA-FLS by activation of ERK signaling pathways and finally aggravates the progression of RA. These data indicated that Cdc37 may be a novel target for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) cause thousands of deaths every year and are associated with high mortality rates (~40%) due to the lack of efficient therapies. Understanding the molecular mechanisms associated with those diseases will most probably lead to novel therapeutics. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the Hsp90 inhibitor AUY-922 in the major inflammatory pathways of mouse lungs. Mice were treated with LPS (1.6 mg/kg) via intratracheal instillation for 24 h and were then post-treated intraperitoneally with AUY-922 (10 mg/kg). The animals were examined 48 h after AUY-922 injection. LPS activated the TLR4-mediated signaling pathways, which in turn induced the release of different inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. AUY-922 suppressed the LPS-induced inflammation by inhibiting major pro-inflammatory pathways (e.g., JAK2/STAT3, MAPKs), and downregulated the IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1 and TNFα. The expression levels of the redox regulator APE1/Ref1, as well as the DNA-damage inducible kinases ATM and ATR, were also increased after LPS treatment. Those effects were counteracted by AUY-922. Interestingly, this Hsp90 inhibitor abolished the LPS-induced pIRE1α suppression, a major component of the unfolded protein response. Our study elucidates the molecular pathways involved in the progression of murine inflammation and supports our efforts on the development of new therapeutics against lung inflammatory diseases and sepsis.

Abstract
Cell division cycle 37 (Cdc37) is an important cytoplasmic phosphoprotein, which usually functions as a complex with heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), to effectively reduce the damage caused by heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd), in aquatic animals. The high toxicity of Cd in aquatic systems generally has a deleterious effect on healthy farming of shrimps. In the present study, a novel Cdc37 gene from Penaeus monodon was identified and designated as PmCdc37. Following exposure to Cd stress, the expression levels of PmCdc37 were upregulated at the transcriptional level in both the hepatopancreas and hemolymph. RNA interference and recombinant protein injection experiments were carried out to determine the function of PmCdc37 in P. monodon following Cd exposure. To clarify the correlations between PmCdc37 and PmHsp90, the respective recombinant proteins were expressed in vitro, and the ATPase activity of PmHsp90, with or without PmCdc37, was assessed. Moreover, a pull-down assay was conducted to detect the correlation between PmCdc37 and PmHsp90. After analyzing the expression patterns of PmHsp90 following Cd challenge, whether PmHsp90 can promote the ability of PmCdc37 to resist Cd stress or not was investigated. The results showed that formation of a PmHsp90/PmCdc37 complex protected shrimp against Cd stress-induced damage. Moreover, we also confirmed that PmSOD is involved in Cd stress, and that the PmHsp90/PmCdc37 complex can regulate SOD enzymatic activity. PmSOD was involved in decreasing the MDA content in shrimp hemolymph caused by Cd stress. We concluded that during exposure to Cd, the PmHsp90/PmCdc37 complex increases SOD enzyme activity, and in turn decreases the MDA content, thereby protecting shrimp against the damage caused by Cd stress. The present studies contribute to understanding the molecular mechanism underlying resistance to Cd stress in shrimp.

Abstract
Different perturbations alter the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), resulting in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in its lumen, a condition termed ER stress. To restore ER proteostasis, a highly conserved pathway is engaged, known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), triggering adaptive programs or apoptosis of terminally damaged cells. IRE1α (also known as ERN1), the most conserved UPR sensor, mediates the activation of responses to determine cell fate under ER stress. The complexity of IRE1α regulation and its signaling outputs is mediated in part by the assembly of a dynamic multi-protein complex, named the UPRosome, that regulates IRE1α activity and the crosstalk with other pathways. We discuss several studies identifying components of the UPRosome that have illuminated novel functions in cell death, autophagy, DNA damage, energy metabolism and cytoskeleton dynamics. Here, we provide a theoretical analysis to assess the biological significance of the UPRosome and present the results of a systematic bioinformatics analysis of the available IRE1α interactome data sets followed by functional enrichment clustering. This in silico approach decoded that IRE1α also interacts with proteins involved in the cell cycle, transport, differentiation, response to viral infection and immune response. Thus, defining the spectrum of IRE1α-binding partners will reveal novel signaling outputs and the relevance of the pathway to human diseases.

Abstract
Inositol-requiring transmembrane kinase endoribonuclease-1α (IRE1α) is the most prominent and evolutionarily conserved unfolded protein response (UPR) signal transducer during endoplasmic reticulum functional upset (ER stress). A IRE1α signal pathway arbitrates yin and yang of cellular fate in objectionable conditions. It plays several roles in fundamental cellular physiology as well as in several pathological conditions such as diabetes, obesity, inflammation, cancer, neurodegeneration, and in many other diseases. Thus, further understanding of its molecular structure and mechanism of action during different cell insults helps in designing and developing better therapeutic strategies for the above-mentioned chronic diseases. In this review, recent insights into structure and mechanism of activation of IRE1α along with its complex regulating network were discussed in relation to their basic cellular physiological function. Addressing different binding partners that can modulate IRE1α function, UPRosome triggers different downstream pathways depending on the cellular backdrop. Furthermore, IRE1α are in normal cell activities outside the dominion of ER stress and activities under the weather of inflammation, diabetes, and obesity-related metaflammation. Thus, IRE1 as an ER stress sensor needs to be understood from a wider perspective for comprehensive functional meaning, which facilitates us with assembling future needs and therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
IRE1α is an extremely conserved intracellular receptor that regulates one branch of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Homologs of IRE1α are found virtually throughout all eukaryotes. This receptor plays a pivotal role in a cell's reaction to stress, determining whether to take compensatory measures and survive or undergo apoptosis and die. While the role of the unfolded protein response in lower organisms and secretory cells has been comprehensively studied, the precise role of IRE1α in the context of cytotoxic T cells has only begun to be elucidated within the past decade. This review discusses what is known about IRE1α and the unfolded protein response in cytotoxic T cells within the context of development, pathogen response, and cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's are devastating neurodegenerative diseases that are prevalent in the aging population. Patient care costs continue to rise each year, because there is currently no cure or disease modifying treatments for these diseases. Numerous efforts have been made to understand the molecular interactions governing the disease development. These efforts have revealed that the phosphorylation of proteins by kinases may play a critical role in the aggregation of disease-associated proteins, which is thought to contribute to neurodegeneration. Interestingly, a molecular chaperone complex consisting of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) and Cell Division Cycle 37 (Cdc37) has been shown to regulate the maturation of many of these kinases as well as regulate some disease-associated proteins directly. Thus, the Hsp90/Cdc37 complex may represent a potential drug target for regulating proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases, through both direct and indirect interactions. Herein, we discuss the broad understanding of many Hsp90/Cdc37 pathways and how this protein complex may be a useful target to regulate the progression of neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated by the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is called ER stress. ER stress sensors PERK, IRE1, and ATF6 play a central role in the initiation and regulation of the UPR; they inhibit novel protein synthesis and upregulate ER chaperones, such as protein disulfide isomerase, to remove unfolded proteins. However, when recovery from ER stress is difficult, the UPR pathway is activated to eliminate unhealthy cells. This signaling transition is the key event of many human diseases. However, the precise mechanisms are largely unknown. Intriguingly, reactive electrophilic species (RES), which exist in the environment or are produced through cellular metabolism, have been identified as a key player of this transition. In this review, we focused on the function of representative RES: nitric oxide (NO) as a gaseous RES, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) as a lipid RES, and methylmercury (MeHg) as an environmental organic compound RES, to outline the relationship between ER stress and RES. Modulation by RES might be a target for the development of next-generation therapy for ER stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
Heart failure is associated with induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR). The serine/threonine protein kinase/endoribonuclease IRE1α is a key protein in ER stress signal transduction. IRE1α activity can induce both protective UPR and apoptotic downstream signaling events, but the specific role for IRE1α activity in the heart is unknown. A major aim of this study was to characterize the specific contribution of IRE1α in cardiac physiology and pathogenesis. We used both cultured myocytes and a transgenic mouse line with inducible and cardiomyocyte-specific IRE1α overexpression as experimental models to achieve targeted IRE1α activation. IRE1α expression induced a potent but transient ER stress response in cardiomyocytes and did not cause significant effects in the intact heart under normal physiological conditions. Furthermore, the IRE1α-activated transgenic heart responding to pressure overload exhibited preserved function and reduced fibrotic area, associated with increased adaptive UPR signaling and with blunted inflammatory and pathological gene expression. Therefore, we conclude that IRE1α induces transient ER stress signaling and confers a protective effect against pressure overload-induced pathological remodeling in the heart. To our knowledge, this report provides first direct evidence of a specific and protective role for IRE1α in the heart and reveals an interaction between ER stress signaling and inflammatory regulation in the pathologically stressed heart.

Mahanine drives pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells into endoplasmic reticular stress-mediated apoptosis through modulating sialylation process and Ca 2+-signaling. Sci Rep 2018; 8:3911.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress results from protein unfolding/misfolding during cellular maturation, which requires a coordinated action of several chaperones and enzymes and Ca2+ signalling. ER-stress possibly has a positive effect on survival of pancreatic cancer cell. Therefore, detailed insights into this complex signaling network are urgently needed. Here, we systematically analyzed the impact of ER stress-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR) and Ca2+-signaling cross-talk for the survival of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. We observed enhanced ER activity and initiation of UPR signaling induced by a carbazole alkaloid (mahanine). This event triggers a time-dependent increase of intracellular Ca2+ leakage from ER and subsequently Ca2+ signaling induced by enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by this pro-oxidant agent. In addition, we observed an altered glycosylation, in particular with regard to reduced linkage-specific sialic acids possibly due to decreased sialyltransferase activity. Changes in sialylation entailed enhanced expression of the ganglioside GD3 in the treated cells. GD3, an inducer of apoptosis, inhibited pancreatic xenograft tumor. Taken together, our study describes a molecular scenario how PDAC cells are driven into apoptosis by mahanine by UPR-driven ER stress-associated and ROS-mediated calcium signaling and possibly defective sialylation.

Abstract
The Hsp90/Cdc37 chaperone system interacts with and supports 60% of the human kinome. Not only are Hsp90 and Cdc37 generally required for initial folding, but many kinases rely on the Hsp90/Cdc37 throughout their lifetimes. A large fraction of these 'client' kinases are key oncoproteins, and their interactions with the Hsp90/Cdc37 machinery are crucial for both their normal and malignant activity. Recently, advances in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) and biochemical strategies have provided the first key molecular insights into kinase-chaperone interactions. The surprising results suggest a re-evaluation of the role of chaperones in the kinase lifecycle, and suggest that such interactions potentially allow kinases to more rapidly respond to key signals while simultaneously protecting unstable kinases from degradation and suppressing unwanted basal activity.

Abstract
Rapid evaluation of therapies designed to preserve β cells in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is hampered by limited availability of sensitive β-cell health biomarkers. In particular, biomarkers elucidating the presence and degree of β-cell stress are needed. We characterized β-cell secretory activity and stress in 29 new-onset T1D subjects (10.6 ± 3.0 years, 55% male) at diagnosis and then 8.2 ± 1.2 weeks later at first clinic follow-up. We did comparisons with 16 matched healthy controls. We evaluated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), β-cell function (random C-peptide [C] and proinsulin [PI]), β-cell stress (PI:C ratio), and the β-cell stress marker heat shock protein (HSP)90 and examined these parameters' relationships with clinical and laboratory characteristics at diagnosis. Mean diagnosis HbA1c was 11.3% (100 mmol/mol) and 7.6% (60 mmol/mol) at follow-up. C-peptide was low at diagnosis (P < 0.001 vs controls) and increased at follow-up (P < 0.001) to comparable with controls. PI did not differ from controls at diagnosis but increased at follow-up (P = 0.003) signifying increased release of PI alongside improved insulin secretion. PI:C ratios and HSP90 concentrations were elevated at both time points. Younger subjects had lower C-peptide and greater PI, PI:C, and HSP90. We also examined islets isolated from prediabetic nonobese diabetic mice and found that HSP90 levels were increased ∼4-fold compared with those in islets isolated from matched CD1 controls, further substantiating HSP90 as a marker of β-cell stress in T1D. Our data indicate that β-cell stress can be assessed using PI:C and HSP90. This stress persists after T1D diagnosis. Therapeutic approaches to reduce β-cell stress in new-onset T1D should be considered.

Abstract
The entomopathogen Bacillus thuringiensis is equipped with multiple virulent factors. The genome sequence of B. thuringiensis YBT1520 revealed the presence of a two-domain protein named Nel which is composed of a necrosis-inducing phytophthora protein 1-like domain found in phytopathogens and a ricin B-like lectin domain. The merging of two distantly related domains is relatively rare. Nel induced necrosis and pathogen-triggered immunity (PTI) on model plants. The Nel also exhibited inhibition activity to nematode. Microscopic observation showed that the toxicity of Nel to nematodes targets the intestine. Quantitative proteomics revealed that Nel stimulated the host defence. The Nel thus possesses dual roles, as both toxin and elicitor. Remarkably, the Nel protein triggered a similar response, induction of the heat shock pathway and the necrosis pathway, in both model plants and nematodes. The unusual ability of Nel to function across kingdom suggests a highly conserved mechanism in eukaryotes that predates the divergence of plants and animal. It is also speculated that the two-domain protein is the result of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between phytopathogens and entomopathogens. Our results provide an example that HGT occurs between members of different species or even genera with lower frequency are particularly important for evolution of new bacterial pathogen lineages with new virulence. Bacillus thuringiensis occupies the same ecological niches, plant and soil, as phytopathogens, providing the opportunity for gene exchange.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is accompanied by excessive collagen deposition in the heart. Despite painstaking research on this fatal disease, the precise role of molecular chaperones in myocardial fibrosis has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we have analyzed the mechanism by which Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)/Cell division cycle 37 (Cdc37) assembly modulates cardiac hypertrophy associated fibrosis. For the in vitro hypertrophy model, Angiotensin II (AngII) treated cultured adult cardiac fibroblasts were used, whereas the in vivo hypertrophy model was generated by renal artery ligation in adult male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Pretreatment with the Hsp90 inhibitor or the blocking of Hsp90-Cdc37 interactions during pressure overload hypertrophy resulted in ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of TGFβ receptor-II (TβR-II) leading to termination of TGFβ mediated signaling. In both cases significant reduction in collagen synthesis was observed revealing the Hsp90/Cdc37 complex as an integral profibrotic component of TGFβ signaling during cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in many diseases and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a central role in the stress. Gensenoside Rb1 is the one of active ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng. It has been reported that gensenoside Rb1 possesses various pharmacological activities. Here we report that gensenoside Rb1 exhibits potent protective effects against oxidative injury induced by H2O2 through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress in PC12 cells. Cell viability assay demonstrated that incubation with H2O2 for 24 h led to a significant loss of cultured rat PC12 cells, and the cell viability was pronouncedly increased by pretreatment of gensenoside Rb1 for 24 h. H2O2-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway was also suppressed after gensenoside Rb1 pretreatment, which was related with thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) induction. Trx-1 siRNA abolished the protective effects of gensenoside Rb1. Our results of the present study demonstrate that gensenoside Rb1 shows a potent anti-oxidative effect on cultured PC12 cells by inducing Trx-1 expression.

Abstract
Cancer cells are exposed to intrinsic (oncogene) or extrinsic (microenvironmental) challenges, leading to activation of stress response pathways. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is the cellular response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and plays a pivotal role in tumor development. Depending on ER stress intensity and duration, the UPR is either pro-survival to preserve ER homeostasis or pro-death if the stress cannot be resolved. On one hand, the adaptive arm of the UPR is essential for cancer cells to survive the harsh conditions they are facing, and on the other hand, cancer cells have evolved mechanisms to bypass ER stress-induced cell death, thereby conferring them with a selective advantage for malignant transformation. Therefore, the mechanisms involved in the balance between survival and death outcomes of the UPR may be exploited as therapeutic tools to treat cancer.

Abstract
Sleep disruption has detrimental effects on glucose metabolism through pathways that remain poorly defined. Although numerous studies have examined the consequences of sleep deprivation (SD) in the brain, few have directly tested its effects on peripheral organs. We examined several tissues in mice for induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR) following acute SD. In young animals, we found a robust induction of BiP in the pancreas, indicating an active UPR. At baseline, pancreata from aged animals exhibited a marked increase in a pro-apoptotic transcription factor, CHOP, that was amplified by SD, whereas BiP induction was not observed, suggesting a maladaptive response to cellular stress with age. Acute SD increased plasma glucose levels in both young and old animals. However, this change was not overtly related to stress in the pancreatic beta cells, as plasma insulin levels were not lower following acute SD. Accordingly, animals subjected to acute SD remained tolerant to a glucose challenge. In a chronic SD experiment, young mice were found to be sensitized to insulin and have improved glycemic control, whereas aged animals became hyperglycemic and failed to maintain appropriate plasma insulin concentrations. Our results show that both age and SD cooperate to induce the UPR in pancreatic tissue. While changes in insulin secretion are unlikely to play a major role in the acute effects of SD, CHOP induction in pancreatic tissues suggests that chronic SD may contribute to the loss or dysfunction of endocrine cells and that these effects may be exacerbated by normal aging.

PPM1l encodes an inositol requiring-protein 1 (IRE1) specific phosphatase that regulates the functional outcome of the ER stress response. Mol Metab 2013; 2:405-16.

Abstract
The protein phosphatase 1-like gene (PPM1l) was identified as causal gene for obesity and metabolic abnormalities in mice. However, the underlying mechanisms were unknown. In this report, we find PPM1l encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane targeted protein phosphatase (PP2Ce) and has specific activity to basal and ER stress induced auto-phosphorylation of Inositol-REquiring protein-1 (IRE1). PP2Ce inactivation resulted in elevated IRE1 phosphorylation and higher expression of XBP-1, CHOP, and BiP at basal. However, ER stress stimulated XBP-1 and BiP induction was blunted while CHOP induction was further enhanced in PP2Ce null cells. PP2Ce protein levels are significantly induced during adipogenesis in vitro and are necessary for normal adipocyte maturation. Finally, we provide evidence that common genetic variation of PPM11 gene is significantly associated with human lipid profile. Therefore, PPM1l mediated IRE1 regulation and downstream ER stress signaling is a plausible molecular basis for its role in metabolic regulation and disorder.

Abstract
The proper folding, assembly, and maintenance of cellular proteins is a highly regulated process and is critical for cellular homeostasis. Multiple cellular compartments have adapted their own systems to ensure proper protein folding, and quality control mechanisms are in place to manage stress due to the accumulation of unfolded proteins. When the accumulation of unfolded proteins exceeds the capacity to restore homeostasis, these systems can result in a cell death response. Unfolded protein accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leads to ER stress with activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) governed by the activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), and PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) signaling pathways. Many xenobiotics have been shown to influence ER stress and UPR signaling with either pro-survival or pro-death features. The ultimate outcome is dependent on many factors including the mechanism of action of the xenobiotic, concentration of xenobiotic, duration of exposure (acute vs. chronic), cell type affected, nutrient levels, oxidative stress, state of differentiation, and others. Assessing perturbations in activation or inhibition of ER stress and UPR signaling pathways are likely to be informative parameters to measure when analyzing mechanisms of action of xenobiotic-induced toxicity.
