Neurotrophic factors are essential for the survival of neurons. We found that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-C/EBP homologues protein (CHOP) pathway to be activated during neurotrophic factor deprivation-induced apoptosis in PC12 neuronal cells and in primary cultured neurons, and this apoptosis was suppressed in the neurons from chop(-/-) mice. In addition, we found that CHOP is expressed in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and striatum of the young adult mouse brain. The number of apoptotic cells in the SVZ decreased in chop(-/-) mice. These results indicate that the ER stress-CHOP pathway plays a role in neuronal apoptosis during the development of the brain. (c) 2006 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
