The role of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in homeostasis of the immune system is incompletely understood. Here we found that dendritic cells (DCs) constitutively activated the UPR sensor IRE-1α and its target, the transcription factor XBP-1, in the absence of ER stress. Loss of XBP-1 in CD11c+ cells led to defects in phenotype, ER homeostasis and antigen presentation by CD8α+ conventional DCs, yet the closely related CD11b+ DCs were unaffected. Whereas ...[more]
