The recovery of spinal cord injury (SCI) involves multiple factors, of which miRNAs take an important part. In this study, we evaluated the function of microRNA-211-5p (miR-211-5p) on SCI in a rat model. SCI model was established using modified Allen's weight-drop method and Basso-Bcattie-Bresnahan score was applied to assess the locomotor function. MiR-211-5p agomir was utilized to increase miR-211-5p expression and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor, 4-PBA (4-phenylbutyric acid), was utilized to suppress ER stress. Neuron apoptosis and the expressions of miR-211-5p, activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), apoptosis-related proteins, pro-inflammatory cytokines and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins were detected. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the binding between miR-211-5p and ATF6. The results showed that miR-211-5p directly targeted ATF6. MiR-211-5p was down-regulated and ATF6 was up-regulated in SCI rats. Both interferences with miR-211-5p agomir and 4-PBA effectively attenuated neuron apoptosis and reversed the expressions of apoptosis, inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related molecules post SCI in rats. These findings demonstrated that miR-211-5p could effectively alleviate SCI-induced neuron apoptosis and inflammation via directly targeting ATF-6 and regulating ER stress.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress is intricately involved in cancer development, progression and response to chemotherapy. ER stress related genes might play an important role in predicting the prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients and may be manipulated to improve the treatment outcome and overall survival rate. In this review, we analyzed the contribution of the three major ER stress pathways-IRE1, ATF6, and PERK-in lung cancer pathogenesis via modulation of tumor microenvironment (TME) and processes as metastasis, angiogenesis, apoptosis and N-glycosylation.

Recent studies have shown that anti-ERp5 antibodies inhibit platelet activation and thrombus formation; Moreover, ERp5-deficient platelets exhibit enhanced platelet reactivity via regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In this study, we used a new ERp5-knockout mouse model as well as recombinant ERp5 (rERp5) protein, to examine the role of ERp5 in platelet function and thrombosis. Although platelet-specific ERp5-deficient mice had decreased platelet count, the mice had shortened tail-bleeding times and enhanced platelet accumulation in FeCl-induced mesenteric artery injury, compared with wild-type mice.

The actin-based motor myosin-19 (Myo19) exerts force on mitochondrial membrane receptors Miro1/2, influencing endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact sites and mitochondrial cristae structure. The Mitochondrial Intermembrane Bridging (MIB) complex connects the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes at the cristae junction through the MICOS system. However, the interaction between Myo19, Miro1/2, and the MIB/MICOS complex in cristae regulation remains unclear.

In age-related peripheral neurodegeneration, changes in the promotion or inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response related to the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system (UPS), autophagy and apoptosis signaling factors during aging remain unclear. In the present study, the expression of ER stress response signaling-related protein factors was examined in tibial nerves during aging in rats. Tibial nerves were extracted from continuously housed rats at 20, 50, 70, 90 and 105 weeks of age.

Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase 1 (GDPD1) plays an important function in the abiotic stress responses and participates in the accumulation of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) in plants, which is key to plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR). However, the role of GDPD1 in plant responses to biotic stress remains poorly understood. This study characterized the antivirus function of the gene (designated as ) from Eureka lemon.
