Signals emanating from the ER induce a tran-scriptional program that enables cells to survive ER stress. This highly coordinated response is essential for the folding, processing, export, and degradation of all proteins emanating from the ER during stressed and normal conditions. Examples of physiological conditions that require the unfolded protein response (UPR) include plasma cell diff erentiation (1) and pancreatic  cell function (2). Adaptation of tumor cells to hypoxic conditions and glucose deprivation also induces the ER stress response (3). Additionally , there is increasing evidence of protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington ' s, Alzheimer ' s, and prion-related diseases (4).The UPR exists in all eukaryotes and consists of multiple signaling pathways, the most conserved of which is mediated by IRE1. Upon sensing unfolded proteins, IRE1 oligo-merizes, is activated by autophosphorylation, and uses its endoribonuclease activity to excise an intron from the transcription factor Hac1p in yeast or its mammalian homologue, XBP-1, a cyclic-AMP response element binding protein/ activating transcription factor family member fi rst isolated in our laboratory (5). This uncon-ventional mRNA splicing event results in the conversion of the inactive 267 – amino-acid un-spliced XBP-1 (XBP-1u) protein to an active 371 – amino-acid spliced XBP-1 (XBP-1s) protein (6 – 8). We have previously shown that XBP-1 is essential for the diff erentiation of highly se-cretory cells, including embryonic hepatocytes, exocrine pancreatic acinar cells, and plasma cells (1, 9 – 11). Much has been learned about the factors that control DC diff erentiation. The fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) (12, 13) and GM-CSF (14, 15) are well known positive regulators of DC development. A more recent study described the involvement of Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation in hematopoietic cell proliferation and subsequent DC diff eren-tiation (16). Additionally, several intracellular signaling molecules and transcription factors — including Gfi 1, Id2, Ikaros, IFN regulatory factor 2 (IRF-2), IRF-4, IRF-8, relB, Runx3, Spi-B, and STAT3 — that aff ect the development of individual DC subsets in vivo have been reported (17 – 24). The control of DC survival Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the initiation, maintenance, and resolution of an immune response. DC survival is tightly controlled by extracellular stimuli such as cytokines and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, but the intracellular events that translate such extracellular stimuli into life or death for the DC remain poorly understood. The endoplas-mic reticulum (ER) stress, or unfolded protein …
