ER Stress in Dendritic Cells Promotes Cancer

摘要

XBP1 is part of the ER stress response, and when activated in cancer cells, it fosters tumor growth. In this issue of Cell, Cubillos-Ruiz et al. demonstrate that XBP1 in tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells blunts anti-tumor immunity. These findings further imply XBP1 as a relevant target for cancer therapy.
