Abstract
Lipid metabolism hinges on a balance between lipogenesis and fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Disruptions in this balance can induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) and contribute to metabolic diseases. The UPR protein, Luman or CREB3, has recently been implicated in metabolic regulation-CREB3 knockout mice exhibit resistance to diet-induced obesity and altered insulin sensitivity. Here, we show that CREB3 activated PPARGC1A transcription from a 1 kb promoter region. An increase in CREB3 expression correlated inversely with endogenous PPARGC1A mRNA levels and genes involved in FAO. As PGC-1α encoded by PPARGC1A is a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and energy homeostasis, these findings demonstrate that CREB3 is a transcriptional regulator of PGC-1α, underlining the potential role of CREB3 in energy metabolism.

Abstract
Cancer cells often exhibit resistance to apoptotic cell death, but they may be vulnerable to other types of cell death. Elucidating additional mechanisms that govern cancer cell death is crucial for developing new therapies. Our research identified cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3 (CREB3) as a crucial regulator and initiator of a unique cell death mechanism known as karyoptosis. This process is characterized by nuclear shrinkage, deformation, and the loss of nuclear components following nuclear membrane rupture. We found that the N-terminal domain (aa 1-230) of full-length CREB3 (CREB3-FL), which is anchored to the nuclear inner membrane (INM), interacts with lamins and chromatin DNA. This interaction maintains a balance between the outward force exerted by tightly packed DNA and the inward constraining force, thereby preserving INM integrity. Under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, aberrant cleavage of CREB3-FL at the INM leads to abnormal accumulation of the cleaved form of CREB3 (CREB3-CF). This accumulation disrupts the attachment of CREB3-FL to the INM, resulting in sudden rupture of the nuclear membrane and the onset of karyoptosis. Proteomic studies revealed that CREB3-CF overexpression induces a DNA damage response akin to that caused by UVB irradiation, which is associated with cellular senescence in cancer cells. These findings demonstrated that the dysregulation of CREB3-FL cleavage is a key factor in karyoptotic cell death. Consequently, these findings suggest new therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment that exploit the process of karyoptosis.

Abstract
The CREB3 family of proteins, encompassing CREB3 and its four homologs (CREB3L1, CREB3L2, CREB3L3, and CREB3L4), exerts pivotal control over cellular protein metabolism in response to unfolded protein reactions. Under conditions of endoplasmic reticulum stress, activation of the CREB3 family occurs through regulated intramembrane proteolysis within the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Perturbations in the function and expression of the CREB3 family have been closely associated with the development of diverse diseases, with a particular emphasis on cancer. Recent investigations have shed light on the indispensable role played by CREB3 family members in modulating the onset and progression of various human cancers. This comprehensive review endeavors to provide an in-depth examination of the involvement of CREB3 family members in distinct human cancer types, accentuating their significance in the pathogenesis of cancer and the manifestation of malignant phenotypes.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, mitochondrial respiration produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2-), which is then converted by the SOD1 enzyme into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the predominant form of cytosolic ROS. ROS at high levels can be toxic, but below this threshold are important for physiological processes acting as a second messenger similar to Ca2+. Mitochondrial Ca2+ influx from the ER increases ATP and ROS production, while ATP and ROS can regulate Ca2+ homeostasis, leading to an intricate interplay between Ca2+, ROS, and ATP synthesis. The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) proteins ATF6α and XBP1 contribute to protection from oxidative stress through upregulation of Sod1 and Catalase genes. Here, UPR-associated protein CREB3 is shown to play a role in balancing Ca2+, ROS, and ATP homeostasis. Creb3-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEF-/-) were susceptible to H2O2-induced oxidative stress while having a functioning antioxidant gene expression response compared to MEF+/+. MEF-/- cells also contained elevated basal cytosolic ROS levels, which was attributed to drastically increased basal mitochondrial respiration and spare respiratory capacity relative to MEF+/+. MEF-/- cells also showed an increase in endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels hinting at a potential cause for MEF-/- cell mitochondrial dysfunction. These results suggest that CREB3 is essential for maintaining proper Ca2+, ATP, and ROS homeostasis in mammalian cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle that regulates both the folding, modification and transport of many proteins and senses certain stimuli inside and outside of cells. ER-associated degradation (ERAD), including SEL1L is a crucial mechanism to maintain homeostasis. In this study, we performed comparative proteome analysis in wild-type (wt) and SEL1L-deficient cells. METHODS AND RESULTS We found constitutively high expression of thioredoxin domain-containing protein 11 (TXNDC11) mRNA and protein in our SEL1L-deficient HEK293 cells by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The TXNDC11 gene possesses a well-conserved unfolded protein response element (UPRE) around its transcription start site, and ER stress increased TXNDC11 mRNA and luciferase reporter activity via this putative UPRE in HEK293 cells. The amounts of TXNDC11 protein in wild-type and SEL1L-deficient cells with or without thapsigargin (Tg) treatment were parallel to their mRNAs in these cells, which was almost proportional to spliced XBP1 (sXBP1) mRNA expression. The establishment and characterization of TXNDC11-deficient HEK293 cells revealed that the expression of three different ER resident stress sensors, ATF6α, CREB3 and CREB3L2, is regulated by TXNDC11. The rate of disappearance of the three proteins by CHX treatment in wt cells was remarkably different, and the full-length CREB3L2 protein was almost completely degraded within 15 min after CHX treatment. TXNDC11 deficiency increased the expression of each full-length form under resting conditions and delayed their disappearance by CHX treatment. Interestingly, the degree of increase in full-length CREB3/CREB3L2 by TXNDC11 deficiency was apparently higher than that in full-length ATF6α. The increase in these proteins by TXNDC11 deficiency was hardly correlated with the expression of each mRNA. Treatment with ER stress inducers influenced each full-length mature form, and the difference in each full-length form observed in wt and TXNDC11-deficient cells was smaller. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that TXNDC11 is an ER stress-inducible gene regulated by the IRE1-sXBP1 pathway. In addition, TXNDC11 is involved in the regulation of ATF6α, CREB3 and CREB3L2 protein expression, although the contribution to the stability of these proteins is quite variable. Therefore, its further characterization will provide new insights for understanding protein homeostasis in ER physiology and pathology.

CREB3 Plays an Important Role in HPSE-Facilitated HSV-1 Release in Human Corneal Epithelial Cells. Viruses 2022; 14:v14061171. [PMID: 35746643 PMCID: PMC9227461 DOI: 10.3390/v14061171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) exploits several host factors to enhance its replication and release from infected cells. It induces the production of host enzyme heparanase (HPSE) to aid in egress. While the mechanism by which HPSE assists in viral release is well-characterized, other host factors that are recruited along with HPSE for viral release are less well understood. In this study, we identify cyclic-AMP-responsive element-binding protein3 (CREB3) as a key player in HPSE-facilitated HSV-1 egress. When CREB3 is transiently upregulated in human corneal epithelial cells, HSV-1 release from the infected cells is correspondingly enhanced. This activity is linked to HPSE expression such that HPSE-transfected corneal epithelial (HCE) cells more highly express CREB3 than wild-type cells while the cells knocked out for HPSE show very little CREB3 expression. CREB3-transfected HCE cells showed significantly higher export of HPSE upon infection than wild-type cells. Our data suggests that coat protein complex II (COPII), which mediates HPSE trafficking, is also upregulated via a CREB3-dependent pathway during HSV-1 infection. Finally, the co-transfection of CREB3 and HPSE in HCE cells shows the highest viral release compared to either treatment alone, establishing CREB3 as a key player in HPSE-facilitated HSV-1 egress.

Abstract
Objective The minor allele (A) of the rs373863828 variant (p.Arg457Gln) in CREBRF is restricted to indigenous peoples of the Pacific islands (including New Zealand Māori and peoples of Polynesia), with a frequency of up to 25% in these populations. This allele associates with a large increase in body mass index (BMI) but with significantly lower risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the increased BMI is driven by increased adiposity or by increased lean mass. Methods We undertook body composition analysis using DXA in 189 young men of Māori and Pacific descent living in Aotearoa New Zealand. Further investigation was carried out in two orthologous Arg458Gln knockin mouse models on FVB/NJ and C57BL/6j backgrounds. Results The rs373863828 A allele was associated with lower fat mass when adjusted for BMI (p < 0.05) and was associated with significantly lower circulating levels of the muscle inhibitory hormone myostatin (p < 0.05). Supporting the human data, significant reductions in adipose tissue mass were observed in the knockin mice. This was more significant in older mice in both backgrounds and appeared to be the result of reduced age-associated increases in fat mass. The older male knockin mice on C57BL/6j background also had increased grip strength (p < 0.01) and lower levels of myostatin (p < 0.05). Conclusion Overall, these results prove that the rs373863828 A-allele is associated with a reduction of myostatin levels which likely contribute to an age-dependent lowering of fat mass, at least in males. The CREBRF p.457Gln variant associates with decreased fat mass in males. Consistent with this CREBRF p.457Gln associates with decreased myostatin levels. These effects are more obvious with age.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The minor A allele of rs373863828 (CREBRF p.Arg457Gln) is associated with increased BMI, but reduced risk of type 2 and gestational diabetes in Polynesian (Pacific peoples and Aotearoa New Zealand Māori) populations. This study investigates the effect of the A allele on insulin release and sensitivity in overweight/obese men without diabetes. METHODS A mixed meal tolerance test was completed by 172 men (56 with the A allele) of Māori or Pacific ancestry, and 44 (24 with the A allele) had a frequently sampled IVGTT and hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp. Mixed linear models with covariates age, ancestry and BMI were used to analyse the association between the A allele of rs373863828 and markers of insulin release and blood glucose regulation. RESULTS The A allele of rs373863828 is associated with a greater increase in plasma insulin 30 min following a meal challenge without affecting the elevation in plasma glucose or incretins glucagon-like polypeptide-1 or gastric inhibitory polypeptide. Consistent with this point, following an i.v. infusion of a glucose bolus, participants with an A allele had higher early (p < 0.05 at 2 and 4 min) plasma insulin and C-peptide concentrations for a similar elevation in blood glucose as those homozygous for the major (G) allele. Despite increased plasma insulin, rs373863828 genotype was not associated with a significant difference (p > 0.05) in insulin sensitivity index or glucose disposal during hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION rs373863828-A allele associates with increased glucose-stimulated insulin release without affecting insulin sensitivity, suggesting that CREBRF p.Arg457Gln may increase insulin release to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Gao J, Gao A, Liu W, Chen L. Golgi stress response: A regulatory mechanism of Golgi function. Biofactors 2021; 47:964-974.

Abstract
The organelle of eukaryotes is a finely regulated system. Once disturbed, it activates the specific autoregulatory systems, namely, organelle autoregulation. Among which, the Golgi stress response accounts for one. When the abundance and capacity of the Golgi apparatus are insufficient compared with cellular demand, the Golgi stress response is activated to enhance the function of the Golgi apparatus. Although the molecular mechanism of the Golgi stress response has not been well characterized yet, it seems to be an important part of the mammalian stress response. In this review, we discuss the current status of research on the six pathways of the mammalian Golgi stress response (the TFE3, heat shock protein 47, CREB3, E26 transformation specific, proteoglycan, and mucin pathways), which regulate the general function of the Golgi apparatus, anti-apoptosis, pro-apoptosis, proteoglycan glycosylation, and mucin glycosylation, respectively.

Abstract
We performed expression and functional analysis of mouse CREB3 regulatory factor (CREBRF) in Neuro2a cells by constructing several expression vectors. Overexpressed full-length (FL) CREBRF protein was stabilized by MG132; however, the intrinsic CREBRF expression in Neuro2a cells was negligible under all conditions. On the other hand, N- or C-terminal deletion of CREBRF influenced its stability. Cotransfection of CREBRF together with GAL4-tagged FL CREB3 increased luciferase reporter activity, and only the N-terminal region of CREBRF was sufficient to potentiate luciferase activity. Furthermore, this positive effect of CREBRF was also observed in cells expressing GAL4-tagged cleaved CREB3, although CREBRF hardly influenced the protein stability of NanoLuc-tagged cleaved CREB3 or intracellular localization of EGFP-tagged one. In conclusion, this study suggests that CREBRF, a quite unstable proteasome substrate, positively regulates the CREB3 pathway, which is distinct from the canonical ER stress pathway in Neuro2a cells.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) disrupts the structure of the Golgi apparatus to trigger ER stress signaling pathways. On the other hand, treatment with BFA induces the activation of CREB3, the protein structure of which is similar to that of ATF6. In this study, we established Neuro2a cells in which three different transcription factors, namely, ATF4, ATF3 and CREB3, were deficient using the CRISPR/Cas9 approach, and we investigated the BFA-induced ER and Golgi stress response in these cells. BFA treatment rapidly induced ATF4, ATF3, Herp and GADD153 protein expression in Neuro2a cells. ATF4-deficient Neuro2a cells exhibited significantly decreased mRNA and protein expression of ATF3 and Herp but not GADD153; however, cells deficient in ATF3 exhibited minimal effects on GADD34, GADD153 and Herp expression. The cleavage of CREB3 in Neuro2a cells was triggered by BFA; however, the expression of several ER and Golgi stress-related factors was hardly influenced by the CREB3 deficiency in these Neuro2a cells. This study shows that CREB3 minimally associates with typical ER stress-inducible responses in Neuro2a cells. Therefore, identification and characterization of the downstream transcriptional targets of CREB3 is required to clarify not only Golgi stress response but also its relationship with ER stress signaling pathways.

Comparative Analysis of CREB3 and CREB3L2 Protein Expression in HEK293 Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052767.

Abstract
We performed a comparative analysis of two ER-resident CREB3 family proteins, CREB3 and CREB3L2, in HEK293 cells using pharmacological and genome editing approaches and identified several differences between the two. Treatment with brefeldin A (BFA) and monensin induced the cleavage of full-length CREB3 and CREB3L2; however, the level of the full-length CREB3 protein, but not CREB3L2 protein, was not noticeably reduced by the monensin treatment. On the other hand, treatment with tunicamycin (Tm) shifted the molecular weight of the full-length CREB3L2 protein downward but abolished CREB3 protein expression. Thapsigargin (Tg) significantly increased the expression of only full-length CREB3L2 protein concomitant with a slight increase in the level of its cleaved form. Treatment with cycloheximide and MG132 revealed that both endogenous CREB3 and CREB3L2 are proteasome substrates. In addition, kifunensine, an α-mannosidase inhibitor, significantly increased the levels of both full-length forms. Consistent with these findings, cells lacking SEL1L, a crucial ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) component, showed increased expression of both full-length CREB3 and CREB3L2; however, cycloheximide treatment downregulated full-length CREB3L2 protein expression more rapidly in SEL1L-deficient cells than the full-length CREB3 protein. Finally, we investigated the induction of the expression of several CREB3 and CREB3L2 target genes by Tg and BFA treatments and SEL1L deficiency. In conclusion, this study suggests that both endogenous full-length CREB3 and CREB3L2 are substrates for ER-associated protein degradation but are partially regulated by distinct mechanisms, each of which contributes to unique cellular responses that are distinct from canonical ER signals.

Luman/CREB3 knock-down inhibit hCG induced MLTC-1 apoptosis. Theriogenology 2020; 161:140-150.

Abstract
Luman has been reported to be involved in the formation of COP II-mediated transport vesicles that affect protein transportation and secretion. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and RT-qPCR indicated that Luman is widely expressed in the male mouse reproductive system. In sperm, Luman was mainly located in the sperm tail, and the expression level increased with sperm maturity. In the testis, Luman was located in Leydig cells. In MLTC-1, a high-concentration hCG treatment significantly increased GRP78, ATF6, p-IRE1, and p-EIF2S1 expression but had no effect on Luman expression. To investigate the role of Luman in hCG-induced ER stress (ERS), experiments were conducted to examine the consequences of short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated Luman knockdown in MLTC-1 cells. Luman knockdown decreased the percentage of S phase cells and up-regulated Cyclin A1, Cyclin B1, and Cyclin D2 expression. ELISA and WB results showed that with Luman knockdown, Cyp11a1, p-IRE1, and p-EIF2S1 expression and testosterone secretion were significantly increased, while GRP78 and CHOP expression were decreased. Flow cytometry results showed that Luman knockdown reduced MLTC-1 cell apoptosis. RT-qPCR and WB results showed that Luman knockdown significantly up-regulated BCL-2 expression and decreased Caspase-3 and BAX expression. These data suggest that Luman is widely expressed in the male mouse reproductive system. In MLTC-1 cells, Luman knockdown up-regulated p-IRE1, p-EIF2S1, and BCL-2 expression and decreased GRP78, CHOP, BAX, and Caspase-3 expression. We propose that Luman knockdown reduces cell apoptosis through the ERS pathway, thereby promoting cell survival and testosterone secretion. These findings provide new insights into the role of Luman in hCG-induced ERS.

Abstract
Herpesviruses are ubiquitous human pathogens that tightly regulate many cellular pathways including the unfolded protein response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Pharmacological modulation of this pathway results in the inhibition of viral replication. In this study, we tested 4-phenylbutyrate (PBA), a chemical chaperone-based potent alleviator of ER stress, for its effects on herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 infection. Through in vitro studies, we observed that application of PBA to HSV-infected cells results in the down-regulation of a proviral, ER-localized host protein CREB3 and a resultant inhibition of viral protein synthesis. PBA treatment caused viral inhibition in cultured human corneas and human skin grafts as well as murine models of ocular and genital HSV infection. Thus, we propose that this drug can provide an alternative to current antivirals to treat both ocular HSV-1 and genital HSV-2 infections and may be a strong candidate for human trials.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is critical to maintain the quality of bone tissues and to heal bone tissue injury. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are special types of cells involved in this event. In particular, the resorption activity of mature osteoclasts is required for the formation of new bones. Human small leucine zipper protein (sLZIP) is known to induce the osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. However, the roles of sLZIP in osteoclast differentiation and bone remodeling have not been explored. In this study, we investigated the roles of sLZIP in regulating osteoclast formation and in the bone remodeling process using sLZIP transgenic (TG) mice. Tibiae from sLZIP TG mice contained more osteoclasts than those from wild type (WT) mice. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) from sLZIP TG mice showed increased differentiation into osteoclasts compared with BMM from WT mice. sLZIP bound to the promotor and induced the expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) and its target osteoclastogenic genes. To understand the role of sLZIP in bone remodeling, a bone-defect model was generated. Results of micro-CT scanning and histologic analysis demonstrated that sLZIP TG mice have faster bone formation during healing compared with WT mice. Notably, the soft callus around the defect area was replaced faster by hard callus in sLZIP TG mice than in WT mice. These findings suggest that sLZIP promotes osteoclast differentiation and plays an important role in bone remodeling.

Abstract
Luman/CREB3 is an important early retrograde axotomy signal regulating acute axon outgrowth in sensory neurons through the adaptive unfolded protein response. As the injury response is transcriptionally multiphasic, a spatiotemporal analysis of Luman/CREB3 localization in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) with unilateral L4-L6 spinal nerve injury was conducted to determine if Luman/CREB3 expression was similarly regulated. Biphasic alterations in Luman/CREB3 immunofluorescence and nuclear localization occurred in neurons ipsilateral to 1-hour, 1-day, 2-day, 4-day, and 1-week injury, with a largely parallel, but less avid response contralaterally. This biphasic response was not observed at the transcript level. To assess whether changes in neuronal Luman expression corresponded with an altered intrinsic capacity to grow an axon/neurite in vitro, injury-conditioned and contralateral uninjured DRG neurons underwent a 24-hour axon growth assay. Two-day injury-conditioned neurons exhibited maximal outgrowth capacity relative to naïve, declining at later injury-conditioned timepoints. Only neurons contralateral to 1-week injury exhibited significantly higher axon growth capacity than naïve. In conclusion, alterations in neuronal injury-associated Luman/CREB3 expression support that a multiphasic cell body response occurs and reveal a novel contralateral plasticity in axon growth capacity at 1-week post-injury. These adaptive responses have the potential to inform when repair or therapeutic intervention may be most effective.

Abstract
Our group recently characterized a cell-autonomous mammalian 12-h clock independent from the circadian clock, but its function and mechanism of regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we show that in mouse liver, transcriptional regulation significantly contributes to the establishment of 12-h rhythms of mRNA expression in a manner dependent on Spliced Form of X-box Binding Protein 1 (XBP1s). Mechanistically, the motif stringency of XBP1s promoter binding sites dictates XBP1s’s ability to drive 12-h rhythms of nascent mRNA transcription at dawn and dusk, which are enriched for basal transcription regulation, mRNA processing and export, ribosome biogenesis, translation initiation, and protein processing/sorting in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-Golgi in a temporal order consistent with the progressive molecular processing sequence described by the central dogma information flow (CEDIF). We further identified GA-binding proteins (GABPs) as putative novel transcriptional regulators driving 12-h rhythms of gene expression with more diverse phases. These 12-h rhythms of gene expression are cell autonomous and evolutionarily conserved in marine animals possessing a circatidal clock. Our results demonstrate an evolutionarily conserved, intricate network of transcriptional control of the mammalian 12-h clock that mediates diverse biological pathways. We speculate that the 12-h clock is coopted to accommodate elevated gene expression and processing in mammals at the two rush hours, with the particular genes processed at each rush hour regulated by the circadian and/or tissue-specific pathways. Distinct from the well-known 24-hour circadian clock, this study shows that the mammalian 12-hour clock upregulates genetic information flow capacity during the two "rush hours" (dawn and dusk) in a manner dependent on the transcription factor XBP1s.

Abstract
CREB3 (Luman) is a family member of ER resident transcription factors, which are cleaved upon the induction of ER stress. Their N-terminal fragments shuttle into the nucleus where they regulate the transcription of target genes. Here, we found that human CREB3 is phosphorylated within its transcription activation domain on serine 46 by protein kinase CK2. Further analyses revealed that the phosphorylation of this site does neither affect the cleavage by S1P/S2P proteases, nor the nuclear localisation nor the transcriptional activity of CREB3. However, phosphorylation at serine 46 reduced the stability of CREB3.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is a highly malignant type of central nervous system tumor. In the present study, the results of RNA sequencing indicated that cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 (CREB3) was upregulated in tumor tissues from patients with GBM. The cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 (CREB3) pathway is a major contributor to the malignant progression of glioblastoma. In this study, we explored the mechanisms by which CREB3 regulates the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of glioblastoma. Pairs of glioblastoma and normal tissues were subjected to RNA sequencing. Then, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect CREB3 levels in glioblastoma tissues and cell lines, respectively. CREB3 was upregulated in glioblastoma tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of CREB3 promoted the proliferation and invasion of SHG-44 cells, while downregulation of CREB3 inhibited the invasion of U251MG cells. Knockdown of CREB3 also induced apoptosis in U251MG cells and increased the protein levels of BAX, active caspase 3, p-PERK, p-eIF2α and ATF4. An in vivo study in nude mice bearing U251MG cell xenografts confirmed these results. Our findings indicate that CREB3 functions as a tumor promoter in glioblastoma, and thus could serve as a treatment target in glioblastoma patients.

Abstract
Luman, also known as cAMP-response element-binding protein 3, is an endoplasmic reticulum stress-related protein that has been identified as a novel transcriptional coregulator of a variety of nuclear receptors. Herein, immunohistochemistry results showed that Luman was specifically expressed in mouse Leydig cells in an age-dependent increase manner, from prepuberty to sexual maturation. Luman was not detected in Sertoli cells within the seminiferous tubules at any developmental period. The immunofluorescent experiment indicated that Luman was mainly located within the cytoplasm of murine Leydig tumor cells (MLTC-1) and primary Leydig cells (PLCs). To investigate the physiological function of Luman, experiments were conducted to examine the consequences of short hairpin RNA- and small interfering RNA-mediated Luman knock-down in MLTC-1 and PLCs, respectively. Luman knock-down significantly upregulated the expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory, cytochrome P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzymes, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and 17-α-hydroxylase/C17-20 lyase in MLTC-1 cells and PLCs. Luman knock-down caused an increase in human chorionic gonadotropin-stimulated testosterone production in vitro and in vivo. The nuclear receptors SF-1 and Nur-77 were significantly increased upon Luman knock-down in MLTC-1. By contrast, the level of the nuclear receptor SHP decreased. Luciferase reporter assay results demonstrated that Luman knock-down upregulated the activity of SF-1 and Nur-77 promoters. These data suggested that Luman expressed in mouse Leydig cells in an age-dependent increase manner. Luman knock-down upregulated the activity of SF-1 and Nur-77 promoters, which lead to the increase of testosterone synthesis and steroidogenesis genes expression. In conclusion, these findings provide us with new insights into the role Luman played in male reproduction.

Abstract
CREB3 is a transcription factor localized to the ER. Here, we investigated endogenous CREB3 expression in HEK293 cells using pharmacological and genome editing approaches. Full-length CREB3 detected under resting conditions disappeared following treatment with tunicamycin, brefeldin A and nigericin. Treatment with cycloheximide and MG132 indicated that endogenous CREB3 is a proteasome substrate. Using cells deficient for the ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) factors SEL1L and Herp, we demonstrate that SEL1L, but not Herp, plays a crucial role in the posttranslational regulation of full-length CREB3 expression. In addition, kifunensine, an α-mannosidase inhibitor, remarkably increased full-length CREB3 expression. Our study suggests that endogenous full-length CREB3 is a novel substrate for ERAD and identifies unique cellular signals distinct from those in canonical ER stress.

Abstract
CREB3 family of transcription factors are ER localized proteins that belong to the bZIP family. They are transported from the ER to the Golgi, cleaved by S1P and S2P proteases and the released N-terminal domains act as transcription factors. CREB3 family members regulate the expression of a large variety of genes and according to their tissue-specific expression profiles they play, among others, roles in acute phase response, lipid metabolism, development, survival, differentiation, organelle autoregulation, and protein secretion. They have been implicated in the ER and Golgi stress responses as regulators of the cell secretory capacity and cell specific cargos. In this review we provide an overview of the diverse functions of each member of the family (CREB3, CREB3L1, CREB3L2, CREB3L3, CREB3L4) with special focus on their role in the central nervous system.

Abstract
cAMP response element binding Protein 3 (CREB3) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane‐bound transcription factor, which belongs to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) superfamily of eukaryotic transcription factors. CREB3 plays a role in the ER‐stress induced unfolded protein response (UPR) and is a multifunctional cellular factor implicated in a number of biological processes including cell proliferation and migration, tumor suppression, and immune‐related gene expression. To gain structural insights into the transcription factor, we determined the crystal structure of the conserved bZIP domain of chicken CREB3 (chCREB3) to a resolution of 3.95 Å. The X‐ray structure provides evidence that chCREB3 can form a stable homodimer. The chCREB3 bZIP has a structured, pre‐formed DNA binding region, even in the absence of DNA, a feature that could potentially enhance both the DNA binding specificity and affinity of chCREB3. Significantly, the homodimeric bZIP possesses an intermolecular disulfide bond that connects equivalent cysteine residues of the parallel helices in the leucine zipper region. This disulfide bond in the hydrophobic core of the bZIP may increase the stability of the homodimer under oxidizing conditions. Moreover, sequence alignment of bZIP sequences from chicken, human, and mouse reveals that only members of the CREB3 subfamily contain this cysteine residue, indicating that it could act as a redox‐sensor. Taken together, these results suggest that the activity of these transcription factors may be redox‐regulated and they may be activated in response to oxidative stress. PDB Code(s): 6IAK

Abstract
The Golgi stress response is a homeostatic mechanism that augments the functional capacity of the Golgi apparatus when Golgi function becomes insufficient (Golgi stress). Three response pathways of the Golgi stress response have been identified in mammalian cells, the TFE3, HSP47 and CREB3 pathways, which augment the capacity of specific Golgi functions such as N-glycosylation, anti-apoptotic activity and pro-apoptotic activity, respectively. On the contrary, glycosylation of proteoglycans (PGs) is another important function of the Golgi, although the response pathway upregulating expression of glycosylation enzymes for PGs in response to Golgi stress remains unknown. Here, we found that expression of glycosylation enzymes for PGs was induced upon insufficiency of PG glycosylation capacity in the Golgi (PG-Golgi stress), and that transcriptional induction of genes encoding glycosylation enzymes for PGs was independent of the known Golgi stress response pathways and ER stress response. Promoter analyses of genes encoding these glycosylation enzymes revealed the novel enhancer elements PGSE-A and PGSE-B (the consensus sequences are CCGGGGCGGGGCG and TTTTACAATTGGTC, respectively), which regulate their transcriptional induction upon PG-Golgi stress. From these observations, the response pathway we discovered is a novel Golgi stress response pathway, which we have named the PG pathway.Key words: Golgi stress, proteoglycan, ER stress, organelle zone, organelle autoregulation.

Genome-wide analyses reveal the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway promotes T helper cell differentiation by resolving secretory stress and accelerating proliferation. Genome Med 2018; 10:76.

Abstract
Background The IRE1a-XBP1 pathway is a conserved adaptive mediator of the unfolded protein response. The pathway is indispensable for the development of secretory cells by facilitating protein folding and enhancing secretory capacity. In the immune system, it is known to function in dendritic cells, plasma cells, and eosinophil development and differentiation, while its role in T helper cell is unexplored. Here, we investigated the role of the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway in regulating activation and differentiation of type-2 T helper cell (Th2), a major T helper cell type involved in allergy, asthma, helminth infection, pregnancy, and tumor immunosuppression. Methods We perturbed the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway and interrogated its role in Th2 cell differentiation. We performed genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of differential gene expression to reveal IRE1a-XBP1 pathway-regulated genes and predict their biological role. To identify direct target genes of XBP1 and define XBP1’s regulatory network, we performed XBP1 ChIPmentation (ChIP-seq). We validated our predictions by flow cytometry, ELISA, and qPCR. We also used a fluorescent ubiquitin cell cycle indicator mouse to demonstrate the role of XBP1 in the cell cycle. Results We show that Th2 lymphocytes induce the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway during in vitro and in vivo activation. Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of differential gene expression by perturbing the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway reveals XBP1-controlled genes and biological pathways. Performing XBP1 ChIPmentation (ChIP-seq) and integrating with transcriptomic data, we identify XBP1-controlled direct target genes and its transcriptional regulatory network. We observed that the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway controls cytokine secretion and the expression of two Th2 signature cytokines, IL13 and IL5. We also discovered that the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway facilitates activation-dependent Th2 cell proliferation by facilitating cell cycle progression through S and G2/M phase. Conclusions We confirm and detail the critical role of the IRE1a-XBP1 pathway during Th2 lymphocyte activation in regulating cytokine expression, secretion, and cell proliferation. Our high-quality genome-wide XBP1 ChIP and gene expression data provide a rich resource for investigating XBP1-regulated genes.

Abstract
LUMAN/CREB3, originally identified through its interaction with a cell cycle regulator HCFC1, is a transcription factor involved in the unfolded protein response during endoplasmic reticulum stress. Previously using gene knockout mouse models, we have shown that LUMAN modulates the glucocorticoid (GC) response leading to enhanced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activity and lower circulating GC levels. Consequently, the stress response is dysregulated, leading to a blunted stress response in the Luman-deficient mice. One question that remained was how LUMAN deficiency affected the stress response at the cellular level leading to the changes in the physiological stress response. Here, we found that LUMAN interacts with GR through a putative nuclear receptor box site and can activate GR in the absence of a ligand. Further investigation showed that, when activated, LUMAN binds to the glucocorticoid response element (GRE), increasing the activity of GR exponentially compared to GR-ligand binding alone. On the other hand, we also found that in the absence of LUMAN, cells were more sensitive to cellular stress, exhibiting decreased secretory capacity. Hence our current data suggest that LUMAN may function both as a transcriptional cofactor of GR and a hormone secretion regulator, and through this, plays a role in stress sensitivity and reactivity to stress.

Abstract
Proinsulin is a misfolding-prone protein, making its biosynthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) a stressful event. Pancreatic β-cells overcome ER stress by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR) and reducing insulin production. This suggests that β-cells transition between periods of high insulin biosynthesis and UPR-mediated recovery from cellular stress. We now report the pseudotime ordering of single β-cells from humans without diabetes detected by large-scale RNA sequencing. We identified major states with 1) low UPR and low insulin gene expression, 2) low UPR and high insulin gene expression, or 3) high UPR and low insulin gene expression. The latter state was enriched for proliferating cells. Stressed human β-cells do not dedifferentiate and show little propensity for apoptosis. These data suggest that human β-cells transition between states with high rates of biosynthesis to fulfill the body's insulin requirements to maintain normal blood glucose levels and UPR-mediated recovery from ER stress due to high insulin production.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The A (minor) allele of CREBRF rs373863828 has been associated with increased BMI and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes in the Samoan populations of Samoa and American Samoa. Our aim was to test rs373863828 for associations with BMI and the odds of type 2 diabetes, gout and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Māori and Pacific (Polynesian) people living in Aotearoa/New Zealand. METHODS Linear and logistic regression models were used to analyse the association of the A allele of CREBRF rs373863828 with BMI, log-transformed BMI, waist circumference, type 2 diabetes, gout and CKD in 2286 adults. The primary analyses were adjusted for age, sex, the first four genome-wide principal components and (where appropriate) BMI, waist circumference and type 2 diabetes. The primary analysis was conducted in ancestrally defined groups and association effects were combined using meta-analysis. RESULTS For the A allele of rs373863828, the effect size was 0.038 (95% CI 0.022, 0.055, p = 4.8 × 10-6) for log-transformed BMI, with OR 0.59 (95% CI 0.47, 0.73, p = 1.9 × 10-6) for type 2 diabetes. There was no evidence for an association of genotype with variance in BMI (p = 0.13), and nor was there evidence for associations with serum urate (β = 0.012 mmol/l, pcorrected = 0.10), gout (OR 1.00, p = 0.98) or CKD (OR 0.91, p = 0.59). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our results in New Zealand Polynesian adults replicate, with very similar effect sizes, the association of the A allele of rs373863828 with higher BMI but lower odds of type 2 diabetes among Samoan adults living in Samoa and American Samoa.

Abstract
Chronic ethanol/alcohol (AL) dosing causes an elevation in homocysteine (Hcy) levels, which leads to the condition known as Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). HHcy enhances oxidative stress and blood-brain-barrier (BBB) disruption through modulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress; in part by epigenetic alternation, leading to cognitive impairment. Clinicians have recommended exercise as a therapy; however, its protective effect on cognitive functions has not been fully explored. The present study was designed to observe the protective effects of exercise (EX) against alcohol-induced epigenetic and molecular alterations leading to cerebrovascular dysfunction. Wild-type mice were subjected to AL administration (1.5 g/kg-bw) and subsequent treadmill EX for 12 weeks (5 day/week@7-11 m/min). AL affected mouse brain through increases in oxidative and ER stress markers, SAHH and DNMTs alternation, while decreases in CBS, CSE, MTHFR, tight-junction proteins and cellular H2S levels. Mechanistic study revealed that AL increased epigenetic DNA hypomethylation of Herp promoter. BBB dysfunction and cognitive impairment were observed in the AL treated mice. AL mediated transcriptional changes were abolished by administration of ER stress inhibitor DTT. In conclusion, exercise restored Hcy and H2S to basal levels while ameliorating AL-induced ER stress, diminishing BBB dysfunction and improving cognitive function via ATF6-Herp-signaling. EX showed its protective efficacy against AL-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
In order to better understand the process of breast cancer metastasis, we have generated a mammary epithelial progression series of increasingly aggressive cell lines that metastasize to lung. Here we demonstrate that upregulation of an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi trafficking gene signature in metastatic cells enhances transport kinetics, which promotes malignant progression. We observe increased ER-Golgi trafficking, an altered secretome and sensitivity to the retrograde transport inhibitor brefeldin A (BFA) in cells that metastasize to lung. CREB3 was identified as a transcriptional regulator of upregulated ER-Golgi trafficking genes ARF4, COPB1, and USO1, and silencing of these genes attenuated the metastatic phenotype in vitro and lung colonization in vivo. Furthermore, high trafficking gene expression significantly correlated with increased risk of distant metastasis and reduced relapse-free and overall survival in breast cancer patients, suggesting that modulation of ER-Golgi trafficking plays an important role in metastatic progression.

Abstract
CREB3 is an ER membrane-bound transcription factor; however, post-translational regulation of CREB3, including expression, processing, and activation, is not fully characterized. We therefore constructed several types of mouse CREB3 expression genes and elucidated their expression in Neuro2a cells by treatment with stimuli and co-transfection with genes associated with ER-Golgi homeostasis, such as mutant Sar1 [H79G], GRP78, and KDEL receptor 1 (KDELR1). Interestingly, treatment of Neuro2a cells expressing Flag-tagged full-length CREB3 with monensin and nigericin induced the expression of the approximately 50 kDa N-terminal fragment; however, its cleavage was not parallel to the levels of GADD153 and LC3-II. Co-transfection of full-length CREB3 together with Sar1 [H79G], GRP78, or KDELR1 showed that only Sar1 [H79G] induced expression of the cleaved form, and KDELR1 dramatically decreased the expression of the full-length form. Accordingly, Sar1 [H79G]- and KDELR1-overexpression influenced GAL4-CREB3-dependent luciferase activities. To understand the activation of CREB3 under more pathophysiological conditions, we focused on the effect of metal ions on CREB3 cleavage in Neuro2a cells. Among the six metal ions we tested, only copper ion stabilized full-length CREB3 expression. Copper ion also increased its N-terminal form and GAL4-CREB3-dependent luciferase activity, which was accompanied by the increase in the ubiquitinated proteins in Neuro2a cells. Taken together, CREB3 expression is regulated by multiple ER-Golgi resident factors in a post-translational manner, but its processing is not directly associated with ER stress and autophagic dysfunction. This finding is especially true for the unique action of the copper ion on CREB3 stabilization and processing in parallel to aberration of ubiquitin-proteasome system, which might provide new insights into understanding the mechanisms of intractable disorders.

Abstract
The intestinal epithelial cells serve essential roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis, which relies on appropriate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function for proper protein folding, modification, and secretion. Exogenous or endogenous risk factors with an ability to disturb the ER function can impair the intestinal barrier function and activate inflammatory responses in the host. The last decade has witnessed considerable progress in the understanding of the functional role of ER stress and unfolded protein response (UPR) in the gut homeostasis and its significant contribution to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Herein, we review recent evidence supporting the viewpoint that deregulation of ER stress and UPR signaling in the intestinal epithelium, including the absorptive cells, Paneth cells, goblet cells, and enteroendocrine cells, mediates the action of genetic or environmental factors driving colitis in experimental animals and IBD patients. In addition, we highlight pharmacologic application of chaperones or small molecules that enhance protein folding and modification capacity or improve the function of the ER. These molecules represent potential therapeutic strategies in the prevention or treatment of IBD through restoring ER homeostasis in intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
Chlamydiae are Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria that cause diseases with significant medical and economic impacts. Like other chlamydial species, Chlamydia pneumoniae possesses a unique developmental cycle, the infectious elementary body gains access to the susceptible host cell, where it transforms into the replicative reticulate body. The cytoplasmic vacuole where Chlamydia pneumoniae replicates is called an inclusion, which is extensively modified by the insertion of chlamydial effectors known as inclusion membrane proteins (Incs). The C. pneumoniae-specific inclusion membrane protein (Inc) Cpn0147 contains domains that are predicted to be exposed to the host cytoplasm. To map host cell binding partners of Cpn0147, a yeast two-hybrid system was used to screen Cpn0147 against a HeLa cell cDNA library, which led to the finding that Cpn0147 interacted with the host cell protein cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-responsive element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB3). The interaction was validated by co-immunoprecipitation of Cpn0147 with CREB3 from HeLa cells ectopically expressing both. Furthermore, Cpn0147 and CREB3 were co-localised in HeLa cells under confocal fluorescence microscopy. The above observations suggest that CREB3 may directly bind to the cytoplasmic domain of Cpn0147 to mediate the interactions of chlamydial inclusions with host cell endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Background PINK1 deficiency causes the autosomal recessive PARK6 variant of Parkinson’s disease. PINK1 activates ubiquitin by phosphorylation and cooperates with the downstream ubiquitin ligase PARKIN, to exert quality control and control autophagic degradation of mitochondria and of misfolded proteins in all cell types. Methods Global transcriptome profiling of mouse brain and neuron cultures were assessed in protein-protein interaction diagrams and by pathway enrichment algorithms. Validation by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunoblots was performed, including human neuroblastoma cells and patient primary skin fibroblasts. Results In a first approach, we documented Pink1-deleted mice across the lifespan regarding brain mRNAs. The expression changes were always subtle, consistently affecting “intracellular membrane-bounded organelles”. Significant anomalies involved about 250 factors at age 6 weeks, 1300 at 6 months, and more than 3500 at age 18 months in the cerebellar tissue, including Srsf10, Ube3a, Mapk8, Creb3, and Nfkbia. Initially, mildly significant pathway enrichment for the spliceosome was apparent. Later, highly significant networks of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and endoplasmic reticulum protein processing occurred. Finally, an enrichment of neuroinflammation factors appeared, together with profiles of bacterial invasion and MAPK signaling changes—while mitophagy had minor significance. Immunohistochemistry showed pronounced cellular response of Iba1-positive microglia and GFAP-positive astrocytes; brain lipidomics observed increases of ceramides as neuroinflammatory signs at old age. In a second approach, we assessed PINK1 deficiency in the presence of a stressor. Marked dysregulations of microbial defense factors Ifit3 and Rsad2 were consistently observed upon five analyses: (1) Pink1−/− primary neurons in the first weeks after brain dissociation, (2) aged Pink1−/− midbrain with transgenic A53T-alpha-synuclein overexpression, (3) human neuroblastoma cells with PINK1-knockdown and murine Pink1−/− embryonal fibroblasts undergoing acute starvation, (4) triggering mitophagy in these cells with trifluoromethoxy carbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP), and (5) subjecting them to pathogenic RNA-analogue poly(I:C). The stress regulation of MAVS, RSAD2, DDX58, IFIT3, IFIT1, and LRRK2 was PINK1 dependent. Dysregulation of some innate immunity genes was also found in skin fibroblast cells from PARK6 patients. Conclusions Thus, an individual biomarker with expression correlating to progression was not identified. Instead, more advanced disease stages involved additional pathways. Hence, our results identify PINK1 deficiency as an early modulator of innate immunity in neurons, which precedes late stages of neuroinflammation during alpha-synuclein spreading.

Abstract
Numerous environmental, physiological, and pathological insults disrupt protein-folding homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), referred to as ER stress. Eukaryotic cells evolved a set of intracellular signaling pathways, collectively termed the unfolded protein response (UPR), to maintain a productive ER protein-folding environment through reprogramming gene transcription and mRNA translation. The UPR is largely dependent on transcription factors (TFs) that modulate expression of genes involved in many physiological and pathological conditions, including development, metabolism, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Here we summarize the current knowledge about these mechanisms, their impact on physiological/pathological processes, and potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of stress-induced hepatic steatosis is not well known. Human leucine zipper protein (LZIP) regulates the expression of genes involved in inflammation, cell migration, and stress response. The aim of this study was to determine the regulatory role of LZIP in stress-induced hepatic steatosis. We used a microarray analysis to identify LZIP-induced genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism. LZIP increased the expression of apolipoprotein A-IV (APOA4) mRNA. In the presence of stress inducer, APOA4 promoter analysis was performed, and LZIP-induced lipid accumulation was monitored in mouse primary cells and human tissues. Under Golgi stress conditions, LZIP underwent proteolytic cleavage and was phosphorylated by AKT to protect against proteasome degradation. The stabilized N-terminal LZIP was translocated to the nucleus, where it directly bound to the APOA4 promoter, leading to APOA4 induction. LZIP-induced APOA4 expression resulted in increased absorption of surrounding free fatty acids. LZIP also promoted hepatic steatosis in mouse liver. Both LZIP and APOA4 were highly expressed in human steatosis samples. Our findings indicate that LZIP is a novel modulator of APOA4 expression and hepatic lipid metabolism. LZIP might be a therapeutic target for developing treatment strategies for hepatic steatosis and related metabolic diseases.-Kang, M., Kim, J., An, H.-T., Ko, J.

Luman contributes to brefeldin A-induced prion protein gene expression by interacting with the ERSE26 element. Sci Rep 2017; 7:42285.

Abstract
The cellular prion protein (PrP) is essential for transmissible prion diseases, but its exact physiological function remains unclear. Better understanding the regulation of the human prion protein gene (PRNP) expression can provide insight into this elusive function. Spliced XBP1 (sXBP1) was recently shown to mediate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced PRNP expression. In this manuscript, we identify Luman, a ubiquitous, non-canonical unfolded protein response (UPR), as a novel regulator of ER stress-induced PRNP expression. Luman activity was transcriptionally and proteolytically activated by the ER stressing drug brefeldin A (BFA) in human neurons, astrocytes, and breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Over-expression of active cleaved Luman (ΔLuman) increased PrP levels, while siRNA-mediated Luman silencing decreased BFA-induced PRNP expression. Site-directed mutagenesis and chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that ΔLuman regulates PRNP expression by interacting with the ER stress response element 26 (ERSE26). Co-over-expression and siRNA-mediated silencing experiments showed that sXBP1 and ΔLuman both up-regulate ER stress-induced PRNP expression. Attempts to understand the function of PRNP up-regulation by Luman excluded a role in atorvastatin-induced neuritogenesis, ER-associated degradation, or proteasomal inhibition-induced cell death. Overall, these results refine our understanding of ER stress-induced PRNP expression and function.

Abstract
The capacity of each organelle in eukaryotic cells is tightly regulated in accordance with cellular demands by specific regulatory systems, which are generically termed organelle autoregulation. The Golgi stress response is one of the systems of organelle autoregulation and it augments the capacity of Golgi function if this becomes insufficient (Golgi stress). Recently, several pathways of the mammalian Golgi stress response have been identified, specifically the TFE3, HSP47, and CREB3 pathways. This review summarizes the essential parts of the Golgi stress response from the perspective of the organelle autoregulation.

Abstract
Luman (also known as LZIP or CREB3) is a transcription factor and a member of the cAMP responsive element-binding (CREB) family proteins. Although Luman has been detected in apoptotic granulosa cells and disorganized atretic bodies, the physiological function of Luman in follicular development has not been reported. Our objective is to determine the role of Luman in folliculogenesis by knocking down Luman expression in mouse GCs (granulosa cells) using shRNA. Luman expression was successfully knocked down in mouse GCs at the mRNA and protein level, as confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. Knockdown of Luman significantly decreased the concentrations of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) in cell culture medium. Furthermore, Luman knockdown promoted cell proliferation but had no effect on cell apoptosis. To elucidate the regulatory mechanism underlying the effects of Luman knockdown on steroid synthesis and cell cycle, we measured the mRNA and protein expression levels of several related genes. The expression of Star, Cyp19a1, and Cyp1b1, which encode steroidogenic enzymes, was down-regulated, while that of Cyp11a1 and Runx2, which also encode steroidogenic enzymes, was up-regulated. The expression of the cell cycle factors Cyclin A1, Cyclin B1, Cyclin D2, and Cyclin E was significantly up-regulated. Among apoptosis-related genes, only Bcl-2 was down-regulated, while Caspase 3, Bax and p53 were not significantly affected, suggesting that Luman knockdown may regulate cell cycle activity and hormone secretion at the transcriptional and translational level in mouse GCs. The expression of two important genes associated with folliculogenesis in mouse GCs, Has2 and Ptgs2, were also significantly altered by Luman knockdown. In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that Luman regulates mouse GCs modulation of steroid synthesis, cell cycle activity and other regulators of folliculogenesis.

Abstract
Osteoblasts and chondrocytes produce a large number of extracellular matrix proteins to generate and maintain the skeletal system. To cope with their functions as secretory cells, these cells must acquire a considerable capacity for protein synthesis and also the machinery for the quality-control and transport of newly synthesized secreted proteins. The unfolded protein response (UPR) plays a crucial role during the differentiation of these cells to achieve this goal. Unexpectedly, however, studies in the past several years have revealed that the UPR has more extensive functions in skeletal development than was initially assumed, and the UPR critically orchestrates many facets of skeletal development and homeostasis. This review focuses on recent findings on the functions of the UPR in the differentiation of osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and osteoclasts. These findings may have a substantial impact on our understanding of bone metabolism and also on establishing treatments for congenital and acquired skeletal disorders.

Abstract
Poliovirus (PV)-induced apoptosis seems to play a major role in central nervous system (CNS) tissue injury, a crucial feature of the pathogenesis of poliomyelitis. We have previously shown that calcium (Ca2+) flux from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol during PV infection is involved in apoptosis induction in human neuroblastoma cells. We show here that PV infection is associated with a transient upregulation of Herp (homocysteine-induced ER protein), a protein known to promote the degradation of ER-resident Ca2+ channels. Herp gene transcription is controlled by the transcription factor CREB3 (cAMP response element-binding protein 3). We found that the CREB3/Herp pathway limited the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and apoptosis early in PV infection. This may reduce the extent of PV-induced damage to the CNS during poliomyelitis.

Abstract
ATP1B4 genes represent a rare instance of orthologous vertebrate gene co-option that radically changed properties of the encoded BetaM proteins, which function as Na,K-ATPase subunits in lower vertebrates and birds. Eutherian BetaM has lost its ancestral function and became a muscle-specific resident of the inner nuclear membrane. Our earlier work implicated BetaM in regulation of gene expression through direct interaction with the transcriptional co-regulator SKIP. To gain insight into evolution of BetaM interactome we performed expanded screening of eutherian and avian cDNA libraries using yeast-two-hybrid and split-ubiquitin systems. The inventory of identified BetaM interactors includes lamina-associated protein LAP-1, myocyte nuclear envelope protein Syne1, BetaM itself, heme oxidases HMOX1 and HMOX2; transcription factor LZIP/CREB3, ERGIC3, PHF3, reticulocalbin-3, and β-sarcoglycan. No new interactions were found for chicken BetaM and human Na,K-ATPase β1, β2 and β3 isoforms, indicating the uniqueness of eutherian BetaM interactome. Analysis of truncated forms of BetaM indicates that residues 72-98 adjacent to the membrane in nucleoplasmic domain are important for the interaction with SKIP. These findings demonstrate that evolutionary alterations in structural and functional properties of eutherian BetaM proteins are associated with the increase in its interactome complexity.

Abstract
We recently revealed that the axon endoplasmic reticulum resident transcription factor Luman/CREB3 (herein called Luman) serves as a unique retrograde injury signal in regulation of the intrinsic elongating form of sensory axon regeneration. Here, evidence supports that Luman contributes to axonal regeneration through regulation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and cholesterol biosynthesis in adult rat sensory neurons. One day sciatic nerve crush injury triggered a robust increase in UPR-associated mRNA and protein expression in both neuronal cell bodies and the injured axons. Knockdown of Luman expression in 1 d injury-conditioned neurons by siRNA attenuated axonal outgrowth to 48% of control injured neurons and was concomitant with reduced UPR- and cholesterol biosynthesis-associated gene expression. UPR PCR-array analysis coupled with qRT-PCR identified and confirmed that four transcripts involved in cholesterol regulation were downregulated >2-fold by the Luman siRNA treatment of the injury-conditioned neurons. Further, the Luman siRNA-attenuated outgrowth could be significantly rescued by either cholesterol supplementation or 2 ng/ml of the UPR inducer tunicamycin, an amount determined to elevate the depressed UPR gene expression to a level equivalent of that observed with crush injury. Using these approaches, outgrowth increased significantly to 74% or 69% that of injury-conditioned controls, respectively. The identification of Luman as a regulator of the injury-induced UPR and cholesterol at levels that benefit the intrinsic ability of axotomized adult rat sensory neurons to undergo axonal regeneration reveals new therapeutic targets to bolster nerve repair.

Abstract
Luman (also known as CREB3) is a type-II transmembrane transcription factor belonging to the OASIS family that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane under normal conditions. In response to ER stress, OASIS-family members are subjected to regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP), following which the cleaved N-terminal fragments translocate to the nucleus. In this study, we show that treatment of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) with cytokines – macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and RANKL (also known as TNFSF11) – causes a time-dependent increase in Luman expression, and that Luman undergoes RIP and becomes activated during osteoclast differentiation. Small hairpin (sh)RNA-mediated knockdown of Luman in BMMs prevented the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts, concomitant with the suppression of DC-STAMP, a protein that is essential for cell–cell fusion in osteoclastogenesis. The N-terminus of Luman facilitates promoter activity of DC-STAMP, resulting in upregulation of DC-STAMP expression. Furthermore, Luman interacts with DC-STAMP, and controls its stability and localization. These results suggest that Luman regulates the multinucleation of osteoclasts by promoting cell fusion of mononuclear osteoclasts through DC-STAMP induction and intracellular distribution during osteoclastogenesis. Highlighted Article: Luman, an ER-resident transcription factor, regulates the multinucleation of osteoclasts by promoting cell fusion of mononuclear osteoclasts through DC-STAMP induction and transportation during osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Alcohol is a simple and consumable biomolecule yet its excessive consumption disturbs numerous biological pathways damaging nearly all organs of the human body. One of the essential biological processes affected by the harmful effects of alcohol is proteostasis, which regulates the balance between biogenesis and turnover of proteins within and outside the cell. A significant amount of published evidence indicates that alcohol and its metabolites directly or indirectly interfere with protein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causing an accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins, which triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR) leading to either restoration of homeostasis or cell death, inflammation and other pathologies under severe and chronic alcohol conditions. The UPR senses the abnormal protein accumulation and activates transcription factors that regulate nuclear transcription of genes related to ER function. Similarly, this kind of protein stress response can occur in other cellular organelles, which is an evolving field of interest. Here, I review recent advances in the alcohol-induced ER stress response as well as discuss new concepts on alcohol-induced mitochondrial, Golgi and lysosomal stress responses and injuries.

Abstract
Targeting non-oncogenic vulnerabilities may provide additional therapeutic approaches in tumors that are resistant to oncogene-targeted therapy. Using a computational pathway-based approach, we interrogated clinical breast cancer genomic data sets for candidate non-oncogenic vulnerabilities in breast cancers that have genomic amplification of ERBB2, which encodes human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2). HER2-positive (HER2(+)) breast cancers showed increased expression of genes encoding proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of ERAD led to irrecoverable ER stress and selectively killed HER2(+) breast cancer cells. Cell death caused by ERAD inhibition partially depended on increased HER2-mTOR signaling, which imposed an increased proteotoxic burden on the ER. Cell death in response to ER stress required the IRE1α-JNK pathway, which was selectively suppressed in HER2(+) breast cancers by phosphatases that inactivate JNK. Accordingly, the cytotoxicity of inhibiting ERAD as well as JNK phosphatases was synergistic in HER2(+) but not in HER2-negative breast cancer cells. Therefore, our study suggests that reactivation of oncogene-induced stress by targeting stress-adaptive pathways may be a beneficial approach for therapy-resistant breast cancers.

Abstract
The activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) is regulated by insulin-induced genes 1 and 2 (Insig-1 and Insig-2) and SCAP. We previously reported that feeding R-α-lipoic acid (LA) to Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats improves severe hypertriglyceridemia. In this study, we investigated the role of cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein H (CREBH) in the lipid-lowering mechanism of LA and its involvement in the SREBP-1c and Insig pathway. Incubation of McA cells with LA (0.2 mM) or glucose (6 mM) stimulated activation of CREBH. LA treatment further induced mRNA expression of Insig-1 and Insig-2a, but not Insig-2b, in glucose-treated cells. In vivo, feeding LA to obesity-induced hyperlipidemic ZDF rats activated hepatic CREBH and stimulated transcription and translation of Insig-1 and Insig-2a. Activation of CREBH and Insigs induced by LA suppressed processing of SREBP-1c precursor into nuclear SREBP-1c, which subsequently inhibited expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis, including FASN, ACC and SCD-1, and reduced triglyceride (TG) contents in both glucose-treated cells and ZDF rat livers. Additionally, LA treatment also decreased abundances of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-associated apolipoproteins, apoB100 and apoE, in glucose-treated cells and livers of ZDF rats, leading to decreased secretion of VLDL and improvement of hypertriglyceridemia. This study unveils a novel molecular mechanism whereby LA lowers TG via activation of hepatic CREBH and increased expression of Insig-1 and Insig-2a to inhibit de novo lipogenesis and VLDL secretion. These findings provide novel insight into the therapeutic potential of LA as an anti-hypertriglyceridemia dietary molecule.

Abstract
Organelle autoregulation is a homeostatic mechanism to regulate the capacity of each organelle according to cellular demands. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response increases the expression of ER chaperones and ER-associated degradation factors when the capacity of the ER becomes insufficient, e.g. during cellular differentiation or viral propagation, and which can be restored through increased synthesis of secretory or membrane proteins. In the Golgi stress response, insufficient organelle capacity is responded to by augmentation of glycosylation enzyme expression and vesicular transport components. The mitochondrial stress response upregulates mitochondrial chaperone and protease expression in the mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane space when unfolded proteins accumulate in the mitochondria. The lysosome stress response is activated during autophagy to enhance the function of the lysosome by transcriptional induction of lysosome genes including cathepsins. However, many of the molecular mechanisms of organelle autoregulation remain unclear. Here, we review recent discoveries in organelle autoregulation and their molecular mechanisms.
