CHOP-c-JUN complex plays a critical role in liver proteotoxicity induced by mutant Z alpha-1 antitrypsin
2020-05-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a common genetic disorder with lung and liver involvement. Most patients carry the Z allele in SERPINA1 that encodes a mutant AAT (ATZ) forming hepatotoxic polymers. We found CHOP upregulation and activation in both mouse (PiZ) and human livers expressing ATZ. Compared to controls, juvenile PiZ/ Chop -/- mice showed reduction in hepatic ATZ and transcri...
