Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Proteins Block Oxidant-induced Ca2+ Increases and Cell Death

Abstract: Oxidants are important human toxicants. Increased intracellular free Ca 2؉ may be critical for oxidant toxicity, but this mechanism remains controversial. Furthermore, oxidants damage the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and release ER Ca 2؉ , but the role of the ER in oxidant toxicity and Ca 2؉ regulation during toxicity is also unclear. tert-Butylhydroperoxide (TBHP), a prototypical organic oxidant, causes oxidative stress and an increase in intracellular free Ca 2؉ . Therefore, we addressed the mechanism of oxida… Show more

“…It follows that by blocking or minimizing ER stress, it may be possible to attenuate the induction of lipid biosynthesis. In support of this concept, we observed that stable overexpression of GRP78/BiP, which protects cells from agents or conditions known to cause ER stress (39,40), inhibits homocysteine-induced expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis in cultured human cells.…”

“…Overexpression of GRP78/BiP has been reported to protect cells from ER stress (39,40). Stably transfected cells overexpressing GRP78/BiP were generated to assess whether blocking homocysteine-induced ER stress attenuated the expression of SREBP-1 and IPP isomerase.…”

“…Moreover, since studies have shown that increased expression of ER stress proteins prevents Ca 2 ϩ depletion from the ER and protects against cellular damage and death (Lievremont et al 1997;Liu et al 1997Liu et al , 1998Yu et al 1999), it is possible that an elevation of these proteins in this subgroup of patients may have been an attempt to compen-sate for these neuropathologic changes in this patient group. Indeed, several recent studies are suggestive of cellular loss and glial changes in cortical regions of patients with MDD, which may be correlated with severity of illness (Ongur et al 1998;Rajkowska et al 1999).…”

“…Recently, it has been shown that a variety of toxic insults, including calcium ionophores, inhibitors of glycosylation, chemical toxicants, and oxidative stress, can cause ER stress and ultimately lead to cell death. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] We found that significant ER stress and resultant apoptosis occurred in cells expressing mutated COMP compared with wild-type COMP and discuss the significance of this in PSACH.…”
