Abstract

Novel agents that target the proteasome, a proteolytic complex responsible for the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins, have demonstrated remarkable therapeutic efficacy in multiple myeloma, a plasma cell malignancy. However, the mechanism by which these compounds act remains unknown. A signaling pathway called the unfolded protein response (UPR) allows cells to handle the proper folding of proteins. The transcription factor XBP-1, a regulator of the UPR, is also required for plasma cell differentiation, suggesting a link between the UPR and plasma cell differentiation. Here we show that proteasome inhibitors target XBP-1 and the UPR in myeloma cells. Proteasome inhibitors suppress the activity of the translumenal endoplasmic reticulum endoribonuclease/kinase, IRE1α, to impair the generation of the active, spliced XBP-1 species and simultaneously stabilize the unspliced species that acts as a dominant negative. Myeloma cells rendered functionally deficient in XBP-1 undergo increased apoptosis in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Identification of compounds that target the activity of IRE1α/XBP-1 may yield novel therapies for the treatment of multiple myeloma and other malignancies that rely on an intact UPR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
