Background
Lactic acid, a natural by-product of glycolysis, is produced at excess levels in response to impaired mitochondrial function, high-energy demand, and low oxygen availability. The enzyme involved in the production of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) of Alzheimer''s disease, BACE1, functions optimally at lower pH, which led us to investigate a potential role of lactic acid in the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP).Methodology/Principal Findings
Lactic acid increased levels of Aβ40 and 42, as measured by ELISA, in culture medium of human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y), whereas it decreased APP metabolites, such as sAPPα. In cell lysates, APP levels were increased and APP was found to interact with ER-chaperones in a perinuclear region, as determined by co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence microscopy studies. Lactic acid had only a very modest effect on cellular pH, did increase the levels of ER chaperones Grp78 and Grp94 and led to APP aggregate formation reminiscent of aggresomes.Conclusions/Significance
These findings suggest that sustained elevations in lactic acid levels could be a risk factor in amyloidogenesis related to Alzheimer''s disease through enhanced APP interaction with ER chaperone proteins and aberrant APP processing leading to increased generation of amyloid peptides and APP aggregates. 相似文献2.
Background
The heat shock protein Hsp70 promotes inducible thermotolerance in nearly every organism examined to date. Hsp70 interacts with a network of other stress-response proteins, and dissecting the relative roles of these interactions in causing thermotolerance remains difficult. Here we examine the effect of Hsp70 gene copy number modification on thermotolerance and the expression of multiple stress-response genes in Drosophila melanogaster, to determine which genes may represent mechanisms of stress tolerance independent of Hsp70. 相似文献3.
Background
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis and sympathetic adrenomedullary (SAM) system are the major stress-response pathways. Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) represents HPA axis activity, while plasma catecholamines are used as markers of the SAM system. Salivary alpha amylase (AA), chromogranin A (CgA), and immunoglobulin A (IgA) are candidate markers of stress activation, although their role has not been established. The Uchida-Kraepelin (U-K) test is a questionnaire that requires intense concentration and effort, and has been used as a tool to induce mental stress. However, it is not clear whether or not the test is effective as a psychological/mental stressor. 相似文献4.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activated by perturbations in ER homeostasis induces the unfolded protein response (UPR) with chaperon Grp78 as the key activator of UPR signalling. The aim of UPR is to restore normal ER function; however prolonged or severe ER stress triggers apoptosis of damaged cells to ensure protection of the whole organism. Recent findings support an association of ER stress-induced apoptosis of vascular cells with cardiovascular pathologies. T-cadherin (T-cad), an atypical glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored member of the cadherin superfamily is upregulated in atherosclerotic lesions. Here we investigate the ability of T-cad to influence UPR signalling and endothelial cell (EC) survival during ER stress. EC were treated with a variety of ER stress-inducing compounds (thapsigargin, dithiothereitol, brefeldin A, tunicamycin, A23187 or homocysteine) and induction of ER stress validated by increases in levels of UPR signalling molecules Grp78 (glucose-regulated protein of 78 kDa), phospho-eIF2α (phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 2α) and CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein). All compounds also increased T-cad mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression or silencing of T-cad in EC respectively attenuated or amplified the ER stress-induced increase in phospho-eIF2α, Grp78, CHOP and active caspases. Effects of T-cad-overexpression or T-cad-silencing on ER stress responses in EC were not affected by inclusion of either N-acetylcysteine (reactive oxygen species scavenger), LY294002 (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitor) or SP6000125 (Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor). The data suggest that upregulation of T-cad on EC during ER stress attenuates the activation of the proapoptotic PERK (PKR (double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase)-like ER kinase) branch of the UPR cascade and thereby protects EC from ER stress-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

A proteomic approach was applied to explore the signalling pathways elicited by lowering O2 in endothelial cells. Endothelial cells isolated from native umbilical cords were subjected to 21, 5, or 1% O2 for 24 h. 2‐D PAGE was performed and candidate proteins were identified using LC‐MS/MS. Lowering of O2 from 21 to 5% induced upregulation of cofilin‐1, cyclophilin A, tubulin and tubulin fragments, a fragment of glucose‐regulated protein 78 (Grp78) and calmodulin. The upregulation of Grp78 suggested that ER stress proteins were altered and indeed Grp94 and caspase 12 expression were increased in cells exposed to 5% O2. The presence of ER stress is also supported by findings of blunted caffeine‐evoked ER calcium release in cells exposed to 5 and 1% O2. Exposure to 1% O2 caused increases in cofilin‐1, cyclophilin A, and caspase 12 as well as a decrease of β‐actin, but it did not alter the expression of calmodulin, tubulin, Grp78, and Grp94. Incubation with CoCl2, a stabilizer of the hypoxia‐inducible factor, increased the expression of several of the proteins. The present investigations reveal that lowering O2, probably in part through hypoxia‐inducible factor, alter the expression of a series of proteins mainly involved in cytoskeletal changes (e.g. cofilin‐1, tubulin, and β‐actin) and in ER stress/apoptosis (e.g. Grp78/94, caspase 12, and cyclophilin A). 相似文献

Background
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) have been developed in order to create means to control estrogenic effects on different tissues. A major drawback in treatment of estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer with the antagonist tamoxifen (TAM) is its agonistic effect in the endometrium. Raloxifene (RAL) is the next generation of SERMs where the agonistic effect on the endometrium has been reduced. 相似文献8.

Recent evidence suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a vital role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which ER stress promotes inflammatory response in IBD. The expression of Gro-α, IL-8 and ER stress indicator Grp78 in colon tissues from patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and colonic carcinoma was analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining. Colitis mouse model was established by the induction of trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS), and the mice were treated with ER stress inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA). Then the body weight, colon length and colon inflammation were evaluated, and Grp78 and Gro-α in colon tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Epithelial cells of colon cancer HCT116 cells were treated with tunicamycin to induce ER stress. Grp78 was detected by Western blot, and chemokines were measured by PCR and ELISA. The expression levels of Grp78, Gro-α and IL-8 were significantly upregulated in intestinal tissues of CD patients. Mice with TNBS induced colitis had increased expression of Grp78 and Gro-α in colonic epithelia. TUDCA reduced the severity of TNBS-induced colitis. In HCT116 cells, tunicamycin increased the expression of Grp78, Gro-α and IL-8 in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, p38 MAPK inhibitor significantly inhibited the upregulation of Gro-α and IL-8 induced by tunicamycin. In conclusion, ER stress promotes inflammatory response in IBD, and the effects may be mediated by the activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.Key words: Inflammatory bowel disease, endoplasmic reticulum stress, IL-8, Gro-α, p38 MAPK 相似文献

Background
Hsp90b1 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone (also named Grp94, ERp99, gp96,Targ2, Tra-1, Tra1, Hspc4) (MGI:98817) contributing with Hspa5 (also named Grp78, BIP) (MGI:95835) to protein folding in ER compartment. Besides its high protein expression in mouse oocytes, little is known about Hsp90b1 during the transition from oocyte-to-embryo. Because the constitutive knockout of Hsp90b1 is responsible for peri-implantation embryonic lethality, it was not yet known whether Hsp90b1 is a functionally important maternal factor.Methodology/Findings
To circumvent embryonic lethality, we established an oocyte-specific conditional knockout line taking advantage of the more recently created floxed Hsp90b1 line (Hsp90b1flox, MGI:3700023) in combination with the transgenic mouse line expressing the cre recombinase under the control of zona pellucida 3 (ZP3) promoter (Zp3-cre, MGI:2176187). Altered expression of Hsp90b1 in growing oocytes provoked a limited, albeit significant reduction of the zona pellucida thickness but no obvious anomalies in follicular growth, meiotic maturation or fertilization. Interestingly, mutant zygotes obtained from oocytes lacking Hsp90b1 were unable to reach the 2-cell stage. They exhibited either a G2/M block or, more frequently an abnormal mitotic spindle leading to developmental arrest. Despite the fact that Hspa5 displayed a similar profile of expression as Hsp90b1, we found that HSPA5 and HSP90B1 did not fully colocalize in zygotes suggesting distinct function for the two chaperones. Consequently, even if HSPA5 was overexpressed in Hsp90b1 mutant embryos, it did not compensate for HSP90B1 deficiency. Finally, further characterization of ER compartment and cytoskeleton revealed a defective organization of the cytoplasmic region surrounding the mutant zygotic spindle.Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that the maternal contribution of Hsp90b1 is critical for the development of murine zygotes. All together our data indicate that Hsp90b1 is involved in unique and specific aspects of the first mitosis, which brings together the maternal and paternal genomes on a single spindle. 相似文献10.
Grp78 is involved in retention of mutant low density lipoprotein receptor protein in the endoplasmic reticulum 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is responsible for removing the majority of the LDL cholesterol from the plasma. Mutations in the LDL receptor gene cause the disease familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Approximately 50% of the mutations in the LDL receptor gene in patients with FH lead to receptor proteins that are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Misfolding of mutant LDL receptors is a probable cause of this ER retention, resulting in no functional LDL receptors at the cell surface. However, the specific factors and mechanisms responsible for retention of mutant LDL receptors are unknown. In the present study we show that the molecular chaperone Grp78/BiP co-immunoprecipitates with both the wild type and two different mutant (W556S and C646Y) LDL receptors in lysates obtained from human liver cells overexpressing wild type or mutant LDL receptors. A pulse-chase study shows that the interaction between the wild type LDL receptor and Grp78 is no longer detectable after 2(1/2) h, whereas it persists for more than 4 h with the mutant receptors. Furthermore, about five times more Grp78 is co-immunoprecipitated with the mutant receptors than with the wild type receptor suggesting that Grp78 is involved in retention of mutant LDL receptors in the ER. Overexpression of Grp78 causes no major alterations on the steady state level of active LDL receptors at the cell surface. However, overexpression of Grp78 decreases the processing rate of newly synthesized wild type LDL receptors. This indicates that the Grp78 interaction is a rate-limiting step in the maturation of the wild type LDL receptor and that Grp78 may be an important factor in the quality control of newly synthesized LDL receptors. 相似文献

Background
We recently reported that ER stress plays a key role in vascular endothelial dysfunction during hypertension. In this study we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which ER stress induction and oxidative stress impair vascular endothelial function.Methodology/principal findings
We conducted in vitro studies with primary endothelial cells from coronary arteries stimulated with tunicamycin, 1 μg/mL, in the presence or absence of two ER stress inhibitors: tauroursodeoxycholic acid (Tudca), 500 μg/mL, and 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA), 5 mM. ER stress induction was assessed by enhanced phosphorylation of PERK and eIF2α, and increased expression of CHOP, ATF6 and Grp78/Bip. The ER stress induction increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation, Nox2/4 mRNA levels and NADPH oxidase activity, and decreased eNOS promoter activity, eNOS expression and phosphorylation, and nitrite levels. Interestingly, the inhibition of p38 MAPK pathway reduced CHOP and Bip expressions enhanced by tunicamycin and restored eNOS promoter activation as well as phosphorylation. To study the effects of ER stress induction in vivo, we used C57BL/6J mice and p47phox−/− mice injected with tunicamycin or saline. The ER stress induction in mice significantly impaired vascular endothelium-dependent and independent relaxation in C57BL/6J mice compared with p47phox−/− mice indicating NADPH oxidase activity as an intermediate for ER stress in vascular endothelial dysfunction.Conclusion/significance
We conclude that chemically induced ER stress leads to a downstream enhancement of p38 MAPK and oxidative stress causing vascular endothelial dysfunction. Our results indicate that inhibition of ER stress could be a novel therapeutic strategy to attenuate vascular dysfunction during cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献14.

AbstractThe present study performed proteomic analysis of the midbrain and striatum of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-treated neonatal rats—a model of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Proteomic analysis revealed that a 58-kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp58) was temporarily phosphorylated and its level was elevated by 6-OHDA. Furthermore, 6-OHDA increased the expression level of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), a mediator of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, in the midbrain and striatum. In vitro experiments using PC12 cells revealed that 6-OHDA or hydrogen peroxide could induce the elevation of Grp58 and CHOP. 6-OHDA could induce the elevation of Grp58 and CHOP in the presence of catalase, a hydrogen peroxide-removing enzyme, suggesting that the elevation of Grp58 and CHOP are induced by both hydrogen peroxide and p-quinone generated by 6-OHDA. Collectively, these findings suggest that ER stress involving the alteration of Grp58 and CHOP play a significant role in the induction of insults by 6-OHDA in vivo. 相似文献

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) have been implicated in a number of complications associated with diabetes mellitus including micro‐ and macrovascular dysfunction. In this study we examine ER stress levels in blood cells isolated from human subjects with metabolic syndrome and in healthy controls. Total RNA and protein were isolated from leukocytes and the levels of specific ER stress markers were quantified by real‐time‐PCR and immunoblot analysis. Our results indicate that, compared to healthy controls, individuals with metabolic syndrome have elevated mRNA levels of genes indicative of ER stress; including spliced XBP‐1 (sXBP‐1), Grp78, and CHOP. Induced ER stress levels correlate with blood glucose but not plasma lipid concentration. Furthermore, in healthy individuals, a standard 75 g oral glucose challenge produced a significant elevation in spliced XBP‐1 (1.3 fold), Grp78 (2.0 fold), and calreticulin (3.5 fold) mRNA 60 min post challenge and a significant increase in Grp78 (2.0 fold), calreticulin (2.7 fold) protein levels 2 h postchallenge, relative to fasting levels. The UPR was also activated ex vivo, in human leukocytes cultured in the presence of 15 mmol/l glucose, supporting a specific role for glucose. The oral glucose challenge was associated with a significant increase in the expression of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)‐1α/β, IL‐6, and IL‐8, that may result from ER stress. These findings suggest that there is an association between both acute and chronic dysglycemia and ER stress in humans. 相似文献

Background
Hypoxia exposure initiates low serum testosterone levels that could be attributed to downregulated androgen biosynthesizing genes such as StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) and 3-beta-HSD (3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) in the testis. It was hypothesized that these abnormalities in the testis by hypoxia are associated with oxidative stress and an increase in chaperones of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and ER stress could be modulated by a reduction in calcium influx. Therefore, we verify that if an application of CPU86017-RS (simplified as RS, a derivative to berberine) could alleviate the ER stress and depressed gene expressions of StAR and 3-beta-HSD, and low plasma testosterone in hypoxic rats, these were compared with those of nifedipine. 相似文献19.

A high copy suppressor screen with sec34-2, a temperature-sensitive mutant defective in the late stages of ER to Golgi transport, has resulted in the identification of a novel gene called GRP1 (also called RUD3). GRP1 encodes a hydrophilic yeast protein related to the mammalian Golgi matrix protein golgin-160. A large portion of the protein is predicted to form a coiled-coil structure. Although GRP1 is not essential for growth, the loss of Grp1p results in a growth defect at high temperature. GRP1 genetically interacts with several genes involved in vesicle targeting/fusion stages of ER to Golgi transport. Despite these interactions, pulse chase analysis using Grp1p-depleted cells did not reveal a significant delay in the transit of the vacuolar protease carboxypeptidase Y. Grp1p-depleted cells efficiently secreted invertase which was underglycosylated, suggesting some disturbance of Golgi function. Grp1p-GFP predominantly colocalizes with the cis-Golgi marker Och1p. Despite lacking a signal peptide and a significant stretch of hydrophobic amino acids, Grp1p pellets with membranes. It is extracted with 1M NaCl or 0.1M Na(2)CO(3) (pH 11.0), but is surprisingly insoluble in 1% Triton X-100. Grp1p does not recycle to the ER when forward transport is blocked and a cis-Golgi marker (Och1p-HA), but not a trans-Golgi marker (Chs5p-HA), became dispersed in grp1 Delta cells after 1.5h incubation at 38.5 degrees C. Together, these data suggest that Grp1p is a novel matrix protein that is involved in the structural organization of the cis-Golgi. 相似文献
