The study shows that intracellular ER stress can be transmitted to neighboring hepatocytes through connexin 43, leading to exacerbated ER stress and promoting hepatosteatosis and insulin resistance.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is essential in the development of obesity, insulin resistance, and hepatosteatosis. In the latest issue of Cell Metabolism, Tirosh et al. (2020) demonstrate that intracellular ER stress can be transmitted to neighboring hepatocytes via connexin 43, thus propagating ER stress and promoting hepatosteatosis and insulin resistance.
