PERK (Protein Kinase RNA-Like ER Kinase) Branch of the Unfolded Protein Response Confers Neuroprotection in Ischemic Stroke by Suppressing Protein Synthesis.
Background and Purpose- Ischemic stroke impairs endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function, causes ER stress, and activates the unfolded protein response. The unfolded protein response consists of 3 branches controlled by ER stress sensor proteins, which include PERK (protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase). Activated PERK phosphorylates eIF2α (eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha), resulting in inhibition of global protein synthesis. Here, we aimed to clarify the role of the PERK unfolded protein response branch in stroke. Methods- Neuron-specific and tamoxifen-inducible PERK conditional knockout (cKO) mice were generated by cross-breeding Camk2a-CreERT2 with Topics: Animals; Brain Ischemia; Cinnamates; eIF-2 Kinase; Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress; Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2; Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery; Mice; Mice, Knockout; Neurons; Neuroprotection; Phosphorylation; Protein Biosynthesis; Stroke; Thiourea; Unfolded Protein Response | 2020 |
