Abstract
Trauma introduces damaging stressors that compromise protein, lipid, and nucleic acid integrity. Aggregates of unfolded and misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) triggers the ER stress response (ERSR)/unfolded protein response (UPR) leading to activation of three signaling pathways mediated by PERK, ATF6, and IRE1. Initially, the ERSR/UPR is pro-homeostatic as it globally slows translation while increasing translation of chaperone proteins and inducing ER-associated degradation. If the cellular stress is not controlled, apoptosis is subsequently induced through several mechanisms, of which the most well-described is CHOP. Following spinal cord injury (SCI), mice deficient in CHOP signaling show increased spared white matter and enhanced locomotor recovery by 6 weeks. At 24 hours after SCI, ATF4 and CHOP are upregulated in under perfused microvessels. We observed vascular protection 3 days post-SCI and a significant decrease in macrophage infiltration by the end of the first week. These results suggest that modulating ER-stress signaling in endothelial cells and macrophages may protect against vascular injury and attenuate inflammation post-SCI.
