Inhibition of IRE1 RNase activity modulates the tumor cell secretome and enhances response to chemotherapy

IRE1/XBP-1 activation has a major role in Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, the authors show that inhibition of IRE1’s RNase activity attenuates autocrine and paracrine signaling of pro-tumorigenic cytokines and synergizes with paclitaxel to confer potent anti-tumor effects in TNBC.
