Abstract

Background: The unfolded protein response (UPR) either restores homeostasis or promotes apoptosis in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Results: ER stress causes prolonged UPR activation, severe liver injury, and enhanced apoptosis in mice lacking hepatic Xbp1. Conclusion: Hepatic Xbp1 is critical for hepatic recovery from ER stress. Significance: We implicate Xbp1 in mediating the pro-survival response of the UPR.
