Adaptive responses of neuronal cells to chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress

Accumulation of misfolded proteins or perturbation of calcium homeostasis leads to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and is linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, understanding the ability of neuronal cells to cope with chronic ER stress is of fundamental interest. Interestingly, several brain areas uphold functions that enable them to resist challenges associated with neurodegeneration. Here, we established novel clonal mouse hippocampal (HT22) cell lines that are resistant to prolonged (chronic) ER stress induced by thapsigargin (TgR) or tunicamycin (TmR) as in vitro models to study the adaption to ER stress. Morphologically, we observed a significant increase in vesicular und autophagosomal structures in both resistant lines and 'giant lysosomes', especially striking in TgR cells. While autophagic activity increased under ER stress, lysosomal function appeared slightly impaired; in both cell lines, we observed enhanced ER-phagy. However, proteomic analyses revealed that various protein clusters and signaling pathways were differentially regulated in TgR versus TmR cells in response to chronic ER stress. Additionally, bioenergetic analyses in both resistant cell lines showed a shift toward aerobic glycolysis ('Warburg effect') and a defective complex I of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) machinery. Furthermore, ER stress-resistant cells differentially activated the unfolded protein response (UPR) comprising IRE1α and ATF6 pathways. These findings display the wide portfolio of adaptive responses of neuronal cells to chronic ER stress. ER stress-resistant neuronal cells could be the basis to uncover molecular modulators of adaptation, resistance, and neuroprotection as potential pharmacological targets for preventing neurodegeneration.
