It has been well documented that stress responses have detrimental effects on liver tissue. Stress and stress-responsive factors disrupt liver homeostasis and activate cellular and pathophysiological mechanisms. 1 This, in turn, exacerbates both acute and chronic hepatic pathologic conditions. 2 Although significant advances have been made in our understanding of these mechanisms, critical gaps remain in defining the crosstalk between these pathways. Consequently, therapeutic targeting of stress responses remains challenging in the context of liver diseases. This special theme issue is a collection of reviews that highlight the different types and mechanisms of stress and stress responses that contribute to liver disease and how effective management of these interconnected pathways may uncover novel treatment options. Stress response pathways, such as the unfolded protein response (UPR), the integrated stress response, and the oxidative stress response, play central roles in cellular adaptation of pathologic states and enable restoration of tissue homeostasis. The review by Hanquier et al 3 describes the role of UPR and integrated stress response in liver fibrogenesis mediated by activated hepatic stellate cells. Multiple stress-responsive mechanisms converge to regulate UPR and integrated stress response. Therefore, it is critical to understand the regulatory elements that impact fibrogenesis. This review highlights the importance of therapeutic targeting of activated hepatic stellate cells and associated stress response mechanisms to alleviate liver injury and limit fibrosis. Increasing evidence links endoplasmic reticulum stress with progression of liver cancers.
