Happy to share our latest work showing that an ancient ER-localized RNase IRE1 coordinates with p53 to silence taxane-induced dsRNA and protect immune-cold TNBC from pore-forming pyroptosis. ⁦@CellCellPress⁩ ⁦@MDAndersonNews⁩ cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092…

Inhibiting IRE1 RNase in TP53-mutant TNBC allows taxane to be highly immunogenic, triggering dsRNA-ZBP1-NLRP3-GSDMD pyroptotic signaling cascade, turning PD-L1-negative cold tumors hot, and conferring these cold tumors hypersensitivity to PD-1 inhibitor.
