    The danger sensing UPR activates NLRP3 inflammasome components and the EBV lytic cycle in DLBCL. ( A and B ) VAL cells were pre-incubated with different concentrations of tunicamycin (TM) or 4μ8C for 2 h and then left untreated or treated with NaB for another 24 h. Cells were analyzed for ZEBRA expression by flow cytometry ( A ). Aggregate data from biological triplicates of the experiment in A are presented in B. ( C ) VAL cells were exposed to NaB + TPA for different lengths of time and collected for immunoblotting. ( D , E ) VAL cells were transfected with control siRNA (siCtrl) or siRNA targeting XBP1 (si XBP1 #1, #2). After 20 h, cells were collected for RT-qPCR analysis of XBP1 , NLRP3 and TXNIP transcripts ( D ), or induced with NaB for another 24 h for immunoblotting ( E ). ( F – H ) VAL cells were transfected with siCtrl + empty vector (EV), siCtrl + <t>XBP1S</t> plasmid, si XBP1 + EV or si XBP1 + XBP1S plasmid. Twenty-four hours later, cells were collected for RT-qPCR analysis of XBP1 and BZLF1 transcripts ( F ), or induced with NaB for another 24 h and collected for flow cytometry analysis ( G ).

    (A) Schematic of the SPLiCR-seq platform. The SPLiCR-seq vector enables the co-transcription of a splicing reporter and sgRNA driven by the EF1α promoter, while sgRNA expression for gene perturbation is driven by the U6 promoter. Paired-end sequencing links the splicing phenotype of the reporter to the corresponding sgRNA identity. (B) Diagram of the <t>IRE1/XBP1</t> pathway. Under ER stress, IRE1’s RNase domain cleaves unspliced XBP1 mRNA ( XBP1u ), removing a 26-nucleotide intron. The resulting spliced XBP1 mRNA ( XBP1s ) is translated into a potent transcription factor that induces the expression of ER quality control genes to mitigate stress. (C) Design of the SPLiCR-seq vector for XBP1 splicing. The reporter contains the 26-nucleotide intron and 106-nucleotide 5’ and 32-nucleotide 3’ flanking sequences from XBP1u .

    (A) Schematic illustration of the SPLiCR screen workflow. HEK293T cells and iPSCs expressing the CRISPRi machinery were transduced with an sgRNA library targeting 1,350 human RNA-binding proteins (MOI < 0.3). After puromycin selection and cell expansion, cells were treated with Tg for 3 hours to induce ER stress. RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed, and regions containing the XBP1 splicing reporter and sgRNA were PCR-amplified to generate paired-end NGS libraries. For each sgRNA, splicing phenotypes were calculated as the ratio of spliced reads (Si) to unspliced reads (Ui), and normalized to the median control sgRNA levels. The screen was performed in two biological replicates. (B, C) Volcano plots showing sgRNA phenotypes from the SPLiCR-seq screens in HEK293T cells and iPSC ( C ). sgRNAs targeting ERN1 are highlighted in dark blue. (I) (D) Comparison of gene knockdown phenotypes from HEK293T and iPSC SPLiCR-seq screens, revealing both common and cell-type-specific regulators of XBP1 splicing. (E, F) Distributions of phenotype scores for non-targeting control sgRNAs (gray) and sgRNAs targeting selected negative (blue) and positive (red) hits in HEK293T ( E ) and iPSC ( F ) SPLiCR-seq screens. (G) Representative RT-PCR analysis showing XBP1 splicing in HEK293T cells following CALR or UPF3B knockdown with two independent sgRNAs. The ratios of spliced to unspliced XBP1 ( XBP1s / XBP1u ) are indicated at the bottom. (H) Quantification of XBP1 splicing levels for CALR and UPF3B knockdown in HEK293T cells, normalized to control sgRNA (mean ± SD, n = 4 technical replicates). (I) Western blot showing protein levels of XBP1s, IRE1 and phosphorylated IRE1 (p-IRE1) in HEK293T cells under ER stress conditions following knockdown of CALR or UPF3B . GAPDH was used as a loading control. (J) Co-immunoprecipitation showing a direct physical interaction between CALR and IRE1. (K-N) Representative RT-PCR analysis showing XBP1 splicing under ER stress following DBR1 knockdown in HEK293T cells ( K ) and iPSCs ( M ), with splicing levels indicated at the bottom. Quantification of RT-PCR results showing the effect of DBR1 knockdown on XBP1 splicing in HEK293T cells ( L ) and iPSCs ( N ). Splicing levels are normalized to control sgRNA levels (mean ± SD, n = 3 technical replicates). Student’s t-test: **p < 0.01; ns, not significant.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic illustration of the SPLiCR screen workflow. HEK293T cells and iPSCs expressing the CRISPRi machinery were transduced with an sgRNA library targeting 1,350 human RNA-binding proteins (MOI < 0.3). After puromycin selection and cell expansion, cells were treated with Tg for 3 hours to induce ER stress. RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed, and regions containing the XBP1 splicing reporter and sgRNA were PCR-amplified to generate paired-end NGS libraries. For each sgRNA, splicing phenotypes were calculated as the ratio of spliced reads (Si) to unspliced reads (Ui), and normalized to the median control sgRNA levels. The screen was performed in two biological replicates. (B, C) Volcano plots showing sgRNA phenotypes from the SPLiCR-seq screens in HEK293T cells and iPSC ( C ). sgRNAs targeting ERN1 are highlighted in dark blue. (I) (D) Comparison of gene knockdown phenotypes from HEK293T and iPSC SPLiCR-seq screens, revealing both common and cell-type-specific regulators of XBP1 splicing. (E, F) Distributions of phenotype scores for non-targeting control sgRNAs (gray) and sgRNAs targeting selected negative (blue) and positive (red) hits in HEK293T ( E ) and iPSC ( F ) SPLiCR-seq screens. (G) Representative RT-PCR analysis showing XBP1 splicing in HEK293T cells following CALR or UPF3B knockdown with two independent sgRNAs.
