Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress protein responses in relation to spatio-temporal dynamics of astroglial responses to status epilepticus in rats

Abstract

In the present study, we investigated whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with neuronal- and astroglial-death in the hippocampus using LiCl-pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) rat model. Glucose-related protein (GRP) 78 and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) expressions were transiently increased in CA1 neurons and dentate granule cells, and subsequently decreased in these cells following SE. GRP94 and calnexin (CNX) expression was gradually reduced in CA1 neurons, not in dentate granule cells. Phospho-protein kinase RNA (PKR)-like ER kinase (pPERK), phospho-eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (peIF2A) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) immunoreactivities were observed in 17%, 12% and 7% of degenerating CA1 neurons, respectively. GRP 78 and PDI expressions were also up-regulated in reactive astrocytes within the CA1-3 regions. In the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, PDI-positive astrocytes showed TUNEL signal, nuclear apoptosis inducing factor translocation and pPERK/peIF2A/CHOP immunoreactivities. Four weeks after SE, clasmatodendritic astrocytes showed pPERK peIF2A and CNX immunoreactivities without CHOP expression. These findings indicate that SE-induced ER stress may be ...Continue Reading

Autophagy & Disease

Autophagy is an important cellular process for normal physiology and both elevated and decreased levels of autophagy are associated with disease. Here is the latest research.

Autophagy Networks

Autophagy is a lysosomal pathway that involves degradation of proteins and functions in normal growth and pathological conditions, through a series of complex networks. The catabolic process involves delivery of proteins and organelles to the lysosome. Here is the latest research on autophagy networks.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Alzheimer's Disease: Endosomes

Dysfunctional endosomal trafficking may be associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. Targeting the endosome may advance treatment options for AD. Here is the latest research on endosomes and AD.

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
