LID - 10.1083/jcb.202111068 [doi] LID - e202111068 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) promote adaptive immunity by cross-presenting antigen-based epitopes to CD8+ T cells. DCs process internalized protein antigens into peptides that enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), bind to major histocompatibility type I (MHC-I) protein complexes, and are transported to the cell surface for cross-presentation. DCs can exhibit activation of the ER stress sensor IRE1alpha without ER stress, but the underlying mechanism remains obscure. Here, we show that antigen-derived hydrophobic peptides can directly engage ER-resident IRE1alpha, masquerading as unfolded proteins. IRE1alpha activation depletes MHC-I heavy-chain mRNAs through regulated IRE1alpha-dependent decay (RIDD), curtailing antigen cross-presentation. In tumor-bearing mice, IRE1alpha disruption increased MHC-I expression on tumor-infiltrating DCs and enhanced recruitment and activation of CD8+ T cells. Moreover, IRE1alpha inhibition synergized with anti-PD-L1 antibody treatment to cause tumor regression. Our findings identify an unexpected cell-biological mechanism of antigen-driven IRE1alpha activation in DCs, revealing translational potential for cancer immunotherapy. CI - (c) 2022 Genentech, Inc.
