Popis: Cardiovascular diseases have been associated with stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and accumulation of unfolded proteins leading to the unfolded protein response (UPR). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide and HIn this study, we investigated the role of p22phox, an essential component of most NADPH oxidases, in the UPR of endothelial cells.Induction of ER stress increased p22phox expression at the transcriptional level. p22phox was identified as novel target of the UPR transcription factor ATF4 (activator of transcription factor 4) under ER stress conditions by promoter analyses and ChIP. Depletion of ATF4 and p22phox diminished the levels of superoxide and Hp22phox is a novel target of ATF4 in response to ER stress, which can promote the PERK-ATF4 branch of the UPR in vitro and in vivo.p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidases are important mediators of ER stress driving the UPR.
