Journal ArticleDOI
Endoplasmic reticulum stress causes the activation of sterol regulatory element binding protein-2.
TL;DR: Results imply that ER stress-induced SREBP-2 activation occurs through the conventional pathway that normally regulates SRE BP in accordance with intracellular sterol concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endoplasmic reticulum stress and lipid dysregulation.
TL;DR: This review will provide an overview of ER stress and the UPR as well as cholesterol homeostasis and SREBP regulation, with an emphasis on their interaction and biological relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI
ER stress contributes to renal proximal tubule injury by increasing SREBP-2-mediated lipid accumulation and apoptotic cell death
Šárka Lhoták,Sudesh K. Sood,Elise Brimble,Rachel E. Carlisle,Stephen M. Colgan,Adam Mazzetti,Jeffrey G. Dickhout,Alistair J. Ingram,Richard C. Austin +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that ER stress-induced SREBP-2 activation contributes to renal proximal tubule cell injury by dysregulating lipid homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of the unfolded protein response after monocyte to macrophage differentiation augments cell survival in early atherosclerotic lesions
Jeffrey G. Dickhout,Šárka Lhoták,Brooke A. Hilditch,Sana Basseri,Stephen M. Colgan,Edward G. Lynn,Rachel E. Carlisle,Ji Zhou,Sudesh K. Sood,Alistair J. Ingram,Richard C. Austin +10 more
TL;DR: Findings that UPR activation occurs during macrophage differentiation and is cyto‐protective against ER stress‐inducing agents suggest an important cellular mechanism for macrophages survival within early atherosclerotic lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased endoplasmic reticulum stress in atherosclerotic plaques associated with acute coronary syndrome: a balancing act between plaque stability and rupture.
TL;DR: Acute coronary syndrome represents a series of indications of sudden cardiac ischemia that involve a variety of causes, including acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, which usually is associated with thrombus formation in the coronary artery or coronary artery vasospasm.
