CHOP is a C/EBP family transcription factor involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis. To determine if the ER stress pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of LPS-treated mouse lung injury, mice were given lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneally. The mRNAs for activating transcription factor (ATF) 4 and X-box binding protein (X-BP) 1, transcriptional activators of the CHOP gene, and that for CHOP were induced by or after the LPS treatment. Apoptosis induced by LPS treatment was suppressed in the lungs of Chop-knockout mice. Overexpression of CHOP induced apoptosis in a lung cancer-derived cell line. These results suggest that the ER stress pathway, involving CHOP, is activated and plays a role in the pathogenesis of septic shock lung.
