What is Endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced CHOP activation mediates the down-regulation of leptin in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells treated with the oxysterol 27-hydroxycholesterol about?

Epidemiological studies have suggested an inverse relationship between the adipocytokine leptin and the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and leptin supplementation decreases amyloid-β (Aβ) production and tau phosphorylation (p-tau), two major biochemical events that play a key role in the pathogenesis of AD. We have previously shown that the cholesterol oxidized product 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC) inhibits leptin expression, an effect that correlated with increased levels of Aβ and p-tau. We have also shown that 27-OHC induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, a cellular response that is implicated in AD and confers leptin resistance. However the extent to which ER stress is involved in 27-OHC-induced attenuation in leptin expression has not been determined. In this study we determined the involvement of ER stress in the 27-OHC-induced attenuation of leptin expression in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. We demonstrate that 27-OHC-induced ER stress attenuates leptin expression by activating C/EBP Homologous Protein (CHOP) which negatively regulates C/EBPα, a transcription factor required for leptin expression. The molecular chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) precludes 27
