Diabetes Mellitus and Exocrine Pancreatic Dysfunction in Perk−/− Mice Reveals a Role for Translational Control in Secretory Cell Survival

Abstract: The protein kinase PERK couples protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to polypeptide biosynthesis by phosphorylating the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha), attenuating translation initiation in response to ER stress. PERK is highly expressed in mouse pancreas, an organ active in protein secretion. Under physiological conditions, PERK was partially activated, accounting for much of the phosphorylated eIF2alpha in the pancreas. The exocrine and endocrine pancreas… Show more

“…In contrast, the phenotype of CHOP À/À mice differs markedly from those of Ire1a À/À , XBP-1 À/À , PERK À/À and eIF2a S51A knockin mice. 18,40,45,[66][67][68] Ire1a À/À and XBP-1 À/À mice, which can induce ER chaperones upon ER stress, are embryonic lethal. 18,40,66 XBP-1 À/À livers show hypoplasia with numerous apoptotic hepatocytes, and XBP-1 À/À B cells fail to differentiate to plasma cells.…”

“…66,69 PERK À/À and eIF2a S51A knockin mice have progressive pancreatic b-cell dysfunction due to increased apoptosis of the cells. 45,67,68 It should be noted that cells from PERK À/À and eIF2a S51A knockin mice are highly susceptible to ER stress; yet they are incapable of inducing CHOP upon ER stress. 45,46,70 Therefore, ER stress occurs under physiological conditions and the ER stress response plays an essential role in cell growth and differentiation.…”

“…Over the past decade, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has emerged as an important regulator of metabolic processes and recently has been implicated in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction 6, 7, 8. The ER is a large, membrane‐enclosed cellular compartment, critical to the physiologic regulation of many cellular processes, including protein folding, lipid biosynthesis and redox homeostasis 9, 10, 11.…”

“…CHOP expression also is induced by the pancreatic endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), an effect mediated by an increase in atf-4 translation [15,20]. Perk null mice and humans with perk gene mutations develop osteopenia due to increased osteoblast sensitivity to cellular stress, and atf4 null mice exhibit decreased bone formation due to impaired osteoblastic function [21,22].…”
