Abstract

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is sensed by cells in different physiopathological conditions in which there is an accumulationo f unfolded proteins in the ER. A coordinated adaptive program called the unfolded protein response is triggered and includes translation inhibition, transcriptional activation of a set of genes encoding mostly intracellular proteins, and ultimately apoptosis. Here we show that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), a secreted protein that modulates IGF bioavailability and has other IGF-independent effects, is potently induced during ER stress in human hepatocytes. Various ER stress-inducing agents were able to increase IGFBP-1 mRNA levels, as well as cellular and secreted IGFBP-1 protein up to 20-fold. A distal regulatory region of the human IGFBP-1 gene (-6682/-6384) containing an activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) composite site was required for promoter activation upon ER stress. Mutation of the ATF4 composite site led to the loss of IGFBP-1 regulation. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed an ER stress-inducible complex that was displaced by an ATF4 antibody. Knockdown of ATF4 expression using two specific small interfering RNAs impaired upregulation of IGFBP-1 mRNA, which highlights the relevance of ATF4in endogenous IGFBP-1 gene induction. In addition to intracellular proteins involved in secretory and metabolic pathways, we conclude that ER stress induces the synthesis of secreted proteins. Increased secretion of IGFBP-1 during hepatic ER stress may thus constitute a signal to modulate cell growth and metabolism and induce a systemic adaptive response. © 2006 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
