N2 - Hepatocyte lipotoxicity is a hallmark of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and lipid induced liver injury occurs, in part, via activation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Consequently, the unfolded protein response (UPR) is initiated, driven by three key ER transmembrane proteins, resulting in downstream responses that are dynamic and interconnected. Thus, careful interrogation of these pathways is required to investigate the complex role of ER stress in NASH. Herein, we describe different mechanisms of, and in vitro assays for assessment of lipotoxic ER stress in mouse hepatocytes.
