Abstract
The unfolded protein response, also known as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, has been implicated in numerous human diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Protein misfolding activates one or more of the three ER transmembrane sensors to initiate a complex network of signaling that transiently suppresses protein translation while also enhancing protein folding and proteasomal degradation of misfolded proteins to ensure full recovery from ER stress. Gene disruption studies in mice have provided critical insights into the role of specific signaling components and pathways in the differing responses of animal tissues to ER stress. These studies have emphasized an important contribution of translational repression to sustained insulin synthesis and β-cell viability in experimental models of type-2 diabetes. This has focused attention on the recently discovered small-molecule inhibitors of eIF2α phosphatases that prolong eIF2α phosphorylation to reduce cell death in several animal models of human disease. These compounds show significant cytoprotection in cellular and animal models of neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting a potential strategy for future development of drugs to tr...Continue Reading
