While screening for insulin-induced genes, we identified two members of a family of stress-induced genes referred to as glucose-regulated proteins (GRPs). GRPs are members of the stress-responsive superfamily of genes which also includes heat shock proteins (HSPs). The GRP proteins are not normally heat-inducible, but are overproduced when cells are starved of glucose. The two major GRP proteins, GRP78 and GRP94, are highly conserved among vertebrates. We have found that physiological concentrations of insulin stimulate the transcription of GRP78 and GRP94 in rat H4IIE hepatoma cells. The regulation of GRP78 transcription was rapid, with the first induction within minutes, and a further induction after several hours, and both occurred in the presence of glucose. GRP78 transcription was more greatly induced by insulin in the presence of SB202190, a specific p38-MAPK inhibitor. Transcription of GRP94 was also induced, but only after several hours. Calcimycin (A23187) and anisomycin were used to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/cellular stress, and both induced GRP78 and GRP94 transcription.

The long pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a marker of inflammation, has been associated with cardiovascular disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Recently, elevated serum PTX3 levels have been linked to type 2 diabetes in obese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from insufficient insulin secretion or action.

Background: The present study investigated the function of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) in acute liver injury (ALI) by cisplatin, and investigated the protective effect of pharmacological inhibition of GRK2.
Methods: ALI models were generated in global adult hemizygous (ALI-Grk2) mice and wild-type (WT) mice. Liver biochemistry parameters and histopathology were used to evaluate the severity of ALI and the protective effect of pharmacological inhibition of GRK2.

Purpose: Tripartite motif-containing protein 13 (TRIM13) directly or indirectly participates in autophagy and apoptosis. However, it remains unclear whether TRIM13 participates in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progression. This study aimed to reveal the molecular mechanisms through which TRIM13 regulates alveolar epithelial cell injury in COPD to provide new molecular targets for COPD treatment.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the organophosphorus pesticides widely used throughout the world. Epidemiological studies suggested a link between CPF exposure and neurologic disorders, while the molecular mechanisms remain inconclusive. In the present study, we investigated the impacts of chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPO), the major toxic CPF metabolite, on cell apoptosis, and explored possible mechanism associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in SH-SY5Y cells.

Excessive alcohol exposure can cause neurobehavioral deficits and structural alterations in the brain. Emerging research evidence suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays an important role in alcohol-induced neurotoxicity. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an ER stress inducible protein and is responsible to maintain ER homeostasis.
