Photodamage to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can initiate a death pathway termed paraptosis. The "canonical" model of paraptosis, initiated by certain drugs and other stimuli, requires a brief interval of protein synthesis, involves the action of MAP kinases and can be followed by biochemical markers. The latter include changes in expression of
AIP-1
/Alix and IGF-1R proteins and translocation of HMGB-1 from nucleus to plasma membrane. There is also a report indicating that an enhanced level of autophagy can impair death by paraptosis. The pathway to paraptosis follows the canonical pathway when ER photodamage is minor (<LD
50
). When the extent of ER photodamage approaches LD
90
levels, there are deviations from the "canonical" pathway: interfering with protein synthesis does not prevent paraptosis nor does a brief chilling of cells after irradiation, MAP kinases are not involved, and stimulation of autophagy was not cytoprotective. We had previously speculated that ER protein cross-linking might potentiate paraptosis (Photochem. Photobiol. 95, 2019, 1239) but this appears to be incorrect. At higher PDT doses, substantial cross-linking of a typical ER protein (
BiP
, binding immunoglobin protein, an HSP chaperone) was detected and paraptosis was impaired. This may relate to decreased mobility of cross-linked proteins. Other pathways to cell death were then observed.
