Correlation of ER stress and retinal degeneration in tubby mice

Experimental Eye Research
Xue CaiJames F McGinnis

Abstract

Mutation of the Tub gene results in the mislocalization of photoreceptor-specific proteins and eventually retinal degeneration. However, the exact mechanism underlying the retinal degeneration remains largely unknown. In this study, we discovered that the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers, IRE1, ATF6, eIF2α, GRP78/BiP, and XBP-1, is up regulated during tubby retinal development. The dynamics of the expression of these genes are time-dependent and coincided with the time-course of photoreceptor death. Our data also demonstrated that ER stress triggers apoptosis via down-regulation of Bcl2, up-regulation of CHOP and the activation of NF-кB signaling.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
