The Activation of Reticulophagy by ER Stress through the ATF4-MAP1LC3A-CCPG1 Pathway in Ovarian Granulosa Cells Is Linked to Apoptosis and Necroptosis

ABSTRACT: Female infertility is caused by premature ovarian failure (POF), which is triggered by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis of granulosa cells. The ER unfolded protein response (UPRer) is initiated to promote cell survival by alleviating excessive ER stress, but cellular apoptosis is induced by persistent or strong ER stress. Recent studies have reported that reticulophagy is initiated by ER stress. Whether reticulophagy is activated in the ER stress-mediated apoptosis of granulosa cells and which pathway is initiated to activate reticulophagy during the apoptosis of granulosa cells are unknown. Therefore, the role of reticulophagy in granulosa cell death and the relationship between ER stress and reticulophagy were investigated in this work. Our results suggest that th
