The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main site for protein synthesis and folding, with an oxidizing environment that interferes with proper folding. Therefore, an efficient cellular quality control mechanism is essential for well-balanced ER homeostasis. The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), which is tightly regulated by GRP78, is activated as an adaptive mechanism against accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins that cause ER stress. Among the three signaling pathways of the UPR, the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway induces the translational genes associated with anti-oxidative stress responses and apoptosis. In the present study, we found that taurine depletion, which has been reported to cause mitochondrial oxidative stress, decreases GRP78 levels and downregulates the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway. This decline may be associated with oxidative damage to key ER chaperones. As this phenomenon has been observed in aged tissues, our data also suggest that taurine deficiency accelerates the aging process.
