Clinically relevant GABARAP deficiency abrogates bortezomib-induced immunogenic cell death in multiple myeloma

Recently, it was revealed that the high-risk, poor-prognosis downregulation of GABA type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) causes a defect in both autophagy and surface exposure of calreticulin (CALR) in multiple myeloma (MM) cells responding to bortezomib. Hence, GABARAP-defective MM cells fail to undergo immunogenic cell death.
