Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Ethanol Neurotoxicity
Ethanol abuse affects virtually all organ systems and the central nervous system (CNS) is particularly vulnerable to excessive ethanol exposure. Ethanol exposure causes profound damages to both the adult and developing brain. Prenatal ethanol exposure induces fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) which is associated with mental retardation and other behavioral deficits. A number of potential ...
متن کاملEndoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Cancer
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the principal organelle responsible for multiple cellular functions including protein folding and maturation and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. ER stress is activated by a variety of factors and triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), which restores homeostasis or activates cell death. Multiple studies have clarified the link between ER stress a...
متن کاملEndoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to the presence of misfolded or unfolded proteins in the ER invokes a fundamental biological response, termed the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is orchestrated by three main proximal effectors, of which the IRE1/XBP1 pathway represents the evolutionarily most conserved one. Due to its high secretory burden, the intestinal epithelium is highly sus...
متن کاملBinge ethanol exposure causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress and tissue injury in the pancreas
Alcohol abuse is associated with both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis or pancreatic injury may result in chronic pancreatitis. We investigated ethanol-induced pancreatic injury using a mouse model of binge ethanol exposure. Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to ethanol intragastrically (5 g/kg, 25% ethanol w/v) daily for 10 days. Binge ethanol exposure caused...
متن کاملCaspase-12 and endoplasmic reticulum stress mediate neurotoxicity of pathological prion protein.
Prion diseases are characterized by accumulation of misfolded prion protein (PrP(Sc)), and neuronal death by apoptosis. Here we show that nanomolar concentrations of purified PrP(Sc) from mouse scrapie brain induce apoptosis of N2A neuroblastoma cells. PrP(Sc) toxicity was associated with an increase of intracellular calcium released from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and up-regulation of several ...
