Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is closely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) is a member of the ATF/cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) family whose levels are increased upon stress in pancreatic islets from mice. Intriguingly, ATF5 deficiency has been shown to contribute to increased ER stress and apoptosis in mouse islet micro-organs. We hypothesized that either deficiency or overexpression of ATF5 is equally deleterious for pancreatic islets in terms of ER stress and apoptosis. To test this, we used a number ofin vitroandin vivomodels whereby ATF5 levels were overexpressed. We also determined the regulation of ATF5 in the context of metabolic derangements by using various mouse models of obesity and T2D. Ourin vitroresults show that ATF5 overexpression promoted palmitic acid (PA)-induced lipotoxic apoptosis.In vivo, global ATF5 overexpression in mice was lethal and pancreas-specific ATF5 overexpressing mice exhibit increased β-cell apoptosis. Interestingly, ATF5 is downregulated in all mouse models of severe obesity and T2D used in the current study. In conclusion, a tight control on ATF5 levels might be considered when developing novel agents targeting ATF5 for prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.
