Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major organelle in liver cells responsible for protein synthesis and secretion, cellular calcium homeostasis, lipid and steroid hormone metabolism, and drug detoxification. Correct folding of nascent proteins is critical for their functional maturation and secretion, and disruptions of the process will cause accumulation of misfolded/unfolded proteins, which stresses the ER and triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR). Under ER stress, the UPR can drive the liver cells into adaptive or proapoptotic responses, which has been established to be a major mechanism contributing to a spectrum of liver disorders including alcohol-induced liver disease (ALD), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), drug-induced liver injury, hepatitis virus infections, and liver cancer. In this chapter, distinct causes for the hepatic ER stress as well as molecular mechanisms and recent developments of the UPR in the pathogenesis of the liver disorders are highlighted.
