Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of an endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_apoptosis, GOC:rl, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:20160352]
Positive regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway is a complex process that involves a cascade of events designed to restore ER homeostasis or, if unsuccessful, to trigger programmed cell death.
1. **ER Stress Detection and Initial Signaling:** When the ER experiences stress, such as misfolded protein accumulation, calcium imbalance, or oxidative stress, it activates several key sensor proteins:
* **PERK (PKR-like ER kinase):** PERK phosphorylates eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), leading to a temporary halt in protein translation, reducing the ER protein load.
* **IRE1α (inositol-requiring enzyme 1α):** IRE1α splices XBP1 mRNA, generating a transcription factor that promotes expression of genes involved in ER chaperones, protein folding, and degradation.
* **ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6):** ATF6 translocates to the Golgi apparatus, where it is cleaved and activated, resulting in the transcription of genes involved in ER chaperones, protein folding, and degradation.
2. **Activation of the Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway:** If ER stress persists and cannot be resolved, the unfolded protein response (UPR) triggers the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. This involves:
* **CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein):** CHOP is a transcription factor activated by ATF6 and IRE1α. It promotes the expression of pro-apoptotic genes and downregulates anti-apoptotic genes.
* **Caspase-12:** ER stress activates caspase-12, an initiator caspase, which triggers a cascade of caspase activation.
* **Bcl-2 family members:** ER stress can induce the expression of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members (e.g., Bax, Bak) and suppress anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL).
3. **Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Apoptosis:**
* Pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins permeabilize the mitochondrial outer membrane, releasing cytochrome c and other apoptotic factors into the cytosol.
* Cytochrome c binds to Apaf-1, forming the apoptosome, which activates caspase-9.
* Caspase-9 activates effector caspases (e.g., caspase-3, caspase-7) leading to the dismantling of the cell through DNA fragmentation, nuclear breakdown, and formation of apoptotic bodies.
Overall, the positive regulation of ER stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway ensures a controlled and programmed cell death process when ER stress overwhelms the cell's capacity to restore homeostasis, preventing the accumulation of misfolded proteins and potential harm to the organism.'"
