Zinc is an essential trace element and plays critical roles in cellular integrity and biological functions. Excess copper induced both oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in liver-derived cultured cells. Excess copper also induced impairment of autophagic flux at the step of autophagosome–lysosome fusion, as well as Mallory–Denk body (MDB)-like inclusion body formation. Zinc ameliorated excess copper-induced impairment of autophagic flux and MDB-like inclusion body formation via the maintenance of ER homeostasis. Furthermore, zinc also ameliorated free fatty acid-induced impairment of autophagic flux. These results indicate that zinc may be able to protect hepatocytes from various ER stress-related conditions.
