Contain abundant ER that is essential for Pleuromutilin web protein metabolism and stress signaling. Hepatic cells cope with ER stress by an adaptive or protective response, termed unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR includes both the enhancement of protein folding and degrading in the ER and the down-regulation of overall protein synthesis. When the UPR to ER stress is insufficient, the ER stress response unleashesZn Deficiency Exacerbates Diabetic Liver InjuryFigure 8. Possible mechanism for hepatic damage induced by diabetes and Zn deficiency. Both Zn deficiency-induced PTEN/ PTP1B activation and diabetes-increased TRB3 expression via induction of oxidative stresses and ER stress inhibit the activation of Akt, which in turn increase GSK3b activity, leading to Fyn-nuclear accumulation that stimulates Nrf2 exporting to cytosol where to be degraded. Downregulation of Nrf2 activity leads to the 23727046 decrease in antioxidants, which cause hepatic oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death, damage, and steatosis. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0049257.gpathological consequences, including hepatic fat accumulation, inflammation and cell death, which can lead to the liver disease or worsen other causes-induced liver diseases [36]. Consistent with these early observations, here we demonstrated the induction of ER stress in the liver of diabetic mice (Fig. 3C,D), shown by increased CHOP and caspase-12 cleavage, which was worsened in the diabetic mice with Zn deficiency. These data suggest that either diabetes or Zn deficiency induces the hepatic ER stressrelated cell death and two pathogeneses together caused a synergetic effect on the ER stress and cell death.There were several previous studies that have demonstrated the negative regulation of Nrf2 by Fyn via its forcing Nrf2 exportation from nucleus to cytosol where Nrf2 binds to Keap1 for its degradation. Since MedChemExpress GSK -3203591 GSK-3b controls Fyn translocation into nucleus, the inactivation of GSK-3b by its phosphorylation results in a less nuclear accumulation of Fyn [37,38]. Zn has been reported to negatively regulate Akt negative regulators PTP1B [39,40] and PTEN [41]. Therefore, we assume that the exacerbation of hepatic injury by Zn deficiency may be because Zn deficiency loses its inhibition of PTP1B and PTEN, leading to the inhibition by these two negative regulators of Akt phosphorylation and consequently down-regulation of GSK-3b phosphorylation, which will increase Fyn nuclear accumulation to export Nrf2 into cytosol, as shown in Fig. 8. TRB3 is a novel ER stress-inducible protein [42,43]. Here we 1317923 showed the increases in CHOP expression and caspase-12 activation in the liver of Zn deficiency and diabetes groups at a similar level but a synergistic increase in the liver of diabetes with Zn deficiency (Fig. 3D,E). Similarly there was also a similar level of increase of TRB3 expression in the liver of Zn deficiency and diabetes alone groups, but there was a synergistic increase of TRB3 expression in the liver of Diabetes/TPEN group. Therefore, we assume that due to down-regulation of Nrf2 function, less transcriptional expression of multiple antioxidants would result in a further increase in diabetic oxidative stress, which directly or indirectly via ER stress up-regulates TRB3 that directly inhibits Akt function, as illustrated in Fig. 8. In summary, we have explored here the effect of Zn deficiency on diabetic liver injury in the type 1 diabetes mouse model.
