Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Links Obesity, Insulin Action, and Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: It is shown that obesity causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which leads to suppression of insulin receptor signaling through hyperactivation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and subsequent serine phosphorylation of insulin receptors substrate–1 (IRS-1).
Journal ArticleDOI

XBP-1 Regulates a Subset of Endoplasmic Reticulum Resident Chaperone Genes in the Unfolded Protein Response

TL;DR: It is suggested that the IRE1/XBP-1 pathway is required for efficient protein folding, maturation, and degradation in the ER and imply the existence of subsets of UPR target genes as defined by their dependence on XBP- 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

XBP1 links ER stress to intestinal inflammation and confers genetic risk for human inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: It is reported that XBP1 deletion in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) results in spontaneous enteritis and increased susceptibility to induced colitis secondary to both Paneth cell dysfunction and an epithelium that is overly reactive to inducers of IBD such as bacterial products (flagellin) and TNFalpha.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of hepatic lipogenesis by the transcription factor XBP1

TL;DR: It is found that the transcription factor XBP1, a key regulator of the unfolded protein response, is required for the unrelated function of normal fatty acid synthesis in the liver.
