To ensure cellular survival to ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress, PERK [PKR (double-stranded-RNA-dependent protein kinase)-like ER kinase], an ER transmembrane kinase, is activated as part of the unfolded protein response. PERK is highly expressed in pancreatic β-cells and is essential in the β-cell’s development, differentiation and function. However, chronic activation of PERK can induce cell...

Activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are activated by proteolytic cleavage. The ensuing nuclear translocation of their N-termini (i.e., ATF6(N) and SREBP(N)) activates the respective target genes involved in unfolded protein response and lipogenesis. Here, we report that glucose deprivation activated ATF6 but suppressed the SREBP2-regu...

Loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) accounts for visual function deficits after optic nerve injury, but how axonal insults lead to neuronal death remains elusive. By using an optic nerve crush model that results in the death of the majority of RGCs, we demonstrate that axotomy induces differential activation of distinct pathways of the unfolded protein response in axotomized RGCs. Optic nerve...

Impaired function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER stress) is a hallmark of many human diseases including stroke. To restore ER function in stressed cells, the unfolded protein response (UPR) is induced, which activates 3 ER stress sensor proteins including activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6). ATF6 is then cleaved by proteases to form the short-form ATF6 (sATF6), a transcription factor. To...

Magnetic data is useful in both hydrocarbon exploration and mining exploration. In hydrocarbon exploration, aeromagnetic data is an effective method for locating strike-slip faulting in magnetic basement. Also, high resolution surveys enhance delineation of both subtle basement features and intrasedimentary sources. In fact, magnetic methods has evolved from its sole use for mapping basement st...

UNLABELLED Gammaherpesviruses display tropism for B cells and, like all known herpesviruses, exhibit distinct lytic and latent life cycles. One well-established observation among members of the gammaherpesvirus family is the link between viral reactivation from latently infected B cells and plasma cell differentiation. Importantly, a number of studies have identified a potential role for a CREB...

Brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) induce neuronal intracellular stress responses, including the heat-shock response (HSR) and the unfolded protein response (UPR), but the roles of each in neuronal survival or death are not well understood. We assessed the relative expression of UPR (ATF4, CHOP, GRP78, XBP-1) and HSR-related (HSP70 and HSC70) mRNAs and proteins after brain I/R. We evaluated t...

A nodal regulator of endoplasmic reticulum stress is the transcription factor, ATF6, which is activated by ischemia and protects the heart from ischemic damage, in vivo. To explore mechanisms of ATF6-mediated protection in the heart, a whole-genome microRNA (miRNA) array analysis of RNA from the hearts of ATF6 transgenic (TG) mice was performed. The array identified 13 ATF6-regulated miRNAs, ei...
