The IRE1-XBP1 signalling pathway is part of a cellular programme that protects against endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, but also controls development and survival of immune cells. Loss of XBP1 in splenic type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) results in functional alterations without affecting cell survival. However, in mucosal cDC1s, loss of XBP1 impaired survival in a tissue-specific manner-while lung cDC1s die, intestinal cDC1s survive. This was not caused by differential activation of ER stress cell-death regulators CHOP or JNK. Rather, survival of intestinal cDC1s was associated with their ability to shut down protein synthesis through a protective integrated stress response and their marked increase in regulated IRE1-dependent messenger RNA decay. Furthermore, loss of IRE1 endonuclease on top of XBP1 led to cDC1 loss in the intestine. Thus, mucosal DCs differentially mount ATF4- and IRE1-dependent adaptive mechanisms to survive in the face of ER stress.

Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is used to boost immunotherapy effectiveness, but certain tumors, especially triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), often remain unresponsive.
- The study identifies IRE1α, an ER stress sensor, as a key factor that limits the immune-boosting effects of taxane chemotherapy in these tumors by silencing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and preventing a type of inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis.
- Inhibiting IRE1α allows taxane to produce more dsRNA, which activates immune responses, transforming PD-L1-negative TNBC tumors into ones that are sensitive to immunotherapy.

IRE1, BI-1, and bZIP60 monitor compatible plant-potexvirus interactions though recognition of the viral TGB3 protein. This study was undertaken to elucidate the roles of three IRE1 isoforms, the bZIP60U and bZIP60S, and BI-1 roles in genetic reprogramming of cells during potexvirus infection. Experiments were performed using Arabidopsis thaliana knockout lines and Plantago asiatica mosaic virus infectious clone tagged with the green fluorescent protein gene (PlAMV-GFP).

The unfolded protein response is a mechanism aiming at restoring endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis and is likely involved in other adaptive pathways. The unfolded protein response is transduced by three proteins acting as sensors and triggering downstream signaling pathways. Among them, inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha (IRE1α) (referred to as IRE1 hereafter), an endoplasmic reticulum-resident type I transmembrane protein, exerts its function through both kinase and endoribonuclease activities, resulting in both X-box binding protein 1 mRNA splicing and RNA degradation (regulated ire1 dependent decay).

Signalling by the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) or by the Death Receptors (DR) are frequently activated towards pro-tumoral outputs in cancer. Herein, we demonstrate that the UPR sensor IRE1 controls the expression of the DR CD95/Fas, and its cell death-inducing ability. Both genetic and pharmacologic blunting of IRE1 activity increased CD95 expression and exacerbated CD95L-induced cell death in glioblastoma (GB) and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cell lines.

Article Synopsis
- The accumulation of improperly folded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum causes ER stress, which triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR) that tumor cells, like those in glioblastoma (GB), exploit to enhance their growth and malignancy.
- IRE1 alpha, a key player in the UPR, has been shown to promote GB invasion and immune cell infiltration, leading to poorer patient outcomes.
- Research revealed that IRE1 signaling activates the UBE2D3 enzyme, which in turn stimulates the NFκB pathway to produce chemokines, facilitating myeloid cell infiltration in tumors and highlighting a new target for immunotherapy in GB.
