Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Is Associated with the Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neuron Injury in Stressed Rats

Abstract: An increasing number of people are in a state of stress due to social and psychological pressures, which may result in mental disorders. Previous studies indicated that mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons are associated with not only reward-related behaviors but also with stress-induced mental disorders. To explore the effect of stress on dopaminergic neuron and potential mechanism, we established stressed rat models of different time durations and observed pathological changes in dopaminergic neurons of the ve… Show more

“…When the stressor is too intense and persistent, although the various responses of the organism still have some adaptive defensive significance [2], the main mechanisms of stress are those that lead to an increase in homeostatic load, hypoglycemia, ischemia, and hypoxia, imbalance of Ca 2+ levels in the body or disturbance of regulatory factors and hormone levels. These deregulate the redox balance of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), leading to the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER, triggering ER stress, and activating the body's unfolded protein reaction (UPR) [3][4][5]. UPR can transmit unfolded protein signals through the ER membrane by activating three ER transmembrane proteins in vivo: the type I transmembrane protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK), Analytical Cellular Pathology inositol requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), and active transcription factor 6 (ATF6), which mediate distinct signaling pathways at the transcriptional and translational levels [5,6].…”
