Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in regulating cell metabolism, apoptosis, autophagy, and survival. However, there is not enough information about the role of ER stress in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)âinduced apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine secretion in the uterus. In this study, we found that LPS induced apoptosis and inflammation in goat endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). LPS treatment inhibited cell viability and cell proliferation. In addition, the genes associated with proliferation, such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen and MKI67, were affected by LPS treatment. Moreover, LPS increased the secretion of interleukin (IL)â1β and ILâ8, promoting the levels of MYD88, caspase1, and TRL4. The 4âphenylbutyric acid pretreatment inhibited the expression of unfolded protein response proteins and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in LPSâtreated cells. However, blockage of inositolârequiring enzyme 1 and activating transcription factor 6 did not significantly reduce apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine secretion. Collectively, ER stress involved in LPSâinduced apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine increased in goat ESCs. This study provides new insight into the function of ER stress in the pathological process.
