Although endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been implicated in the pathophysiology of organ ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI), the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated. In particular, as tissue pro-inflammatory immune response is the key mediator of local IRI, how ER stress impacts liver immune cell activation cascade remains to be determined. In vitro, ER stress in macrophages and hepatocytes were induced by pharmacological agents. Macrophage TLR4 and hepatocyte TNF-α responses were studied. In vivo, the induction of ER stress by IR and the impact of ER stress amelioration by a small molecule chaperon 4-phenyl butyric acid (PBA) on liver immune response were studied in a murine partial liver warm ischemia model. ER stressed macrophages generated a significantly enhanced pro-inflammatory immune response against TLR4 stimulation; while ER stressed hepatocyte became more susceptible to TNF-α induced cell death. IR resulted in upregulations of sXBP-1 and ATF6 levels in affected livers. Mice pre-treated with PBA were protected from liver IRI, in parallel with diminished local pro-inflammatory gene induction program. Our study documents a potential immune regulatory role of ER stress in the mechanism of liver IRI, and provides a rationale for targeting stress response as a new therapeutic means to ameliorate tissue inflammation in organ transplant recipients.
