Characterization of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Revealed Increased Susceptibility to Cell Death upon ER Stress

Abstract: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have a well-orchestrated program for differentiation and self-renewal. However, the structural features of unique proteostatic-maintaining mechanisms in hPSCs and their features, distinct from those of differentiated cells, in response to cellular stress remain unclear. We evaluated and compared the morphological features and stress response of hPSCs and fibroblasts. Compared to fibroblasts, el… Show more

“…In the present study, we could not discover the reasons for the different reaction of ER stress in the endometrial epithelial and stromal cells under hyperthermia conditions. However, since the structure of ER is involved in the intensity of ER stress (Ha et al, 2020), the different reaction of ER stress against hyperthermia in the two types of endometrial cells might be caused by the different of their ER structure and endometrial stromal cells might be more sensitive to hyperthermia than endometrial epithelial cells.…”

“…To further validate the presence of ER stress and UPR response in MRTs, we performed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on normal kidney and MRT organoid samples. Although kidney organoid cells showed a healthy-structured ER (Figures 4E, top left, and S3L), MRT cells displayed more, but thinner and fragmented, ER, accompanied by an increased presence of lipid droplets and helical ER filaments; altogether, these are signs of ER stress and UPR activation (Bernales et al, 2006;Carter et al, 2021;Ha et al, 2020;Li et al, 2008;Lu et al, 2020) and S3L). These MRT-specific phenotypes were also accompanied by the first signs of apoptosis and necrosis (Figure S3L).…”
