Molecular Components of a Cell Death Pathway Activated by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Abstract: Alterations in Ca2؉ homeostasis and accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cause ER stress that ultimately leads to programmed cell death. Recent studies have shown that ER stress triggers programmed cell death via an alternative intrinsic pathway of apoptosis that, unlike the intrinsic pathway described previously, is independent of Apaf-1 and cytochrome c. In the present work, we have used a set of complementary approaches, including two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled w… Show more

“…Treatment of colon cancer cells with rom4 extract was found to induce a number of signature ER stress markers including (PPP1R15A, DDIT3, and TRIB3) suggesting the induction of ER stress. Furthermore, the increased expression of the transcriptional regulator DDIT3 is often associated with RE stressinduced apoptosis (Rao et al 2004). This transcription factor is known to regulate the expression of a set of genes including pro-apoptotic genes, including BAK and BIM, to originate mitochondrial cell death.…”

“…The proteasome contributes to ERAD by relieving the ER stress. Accumulation of unfolded protein within the lumen of the ER leads to prolonged UPR activation, which in turn causes oxidative stress and finally cell death (47). To target the oxidative stress, we inhibited the major stress-inducible transcription factor CHOP/GADD153, which serves as a pro-apoptotic signal in response to the UPR (Fig.…”

“…Caspase-12 has also been detected in high molecular weight complex with apoptosis-linked gene-2 protein and p97 (also referred to as valosin-containing protein), the ERAD mediator. 165 Interference with the formation of this complex protects cells from ER stress-induced apoptosis, presumably by blocking the activation of caspase-12 or caspase-9. 165 Because p97 is also involved in ERAD, it may also mediate crosstalk between the prosurvival and proapoptotic pathways induced by ER stress.…”
