RESUMO
RIPK1 is a multi-functional kinase that regulates cell death and inflammation and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. RIPK1 acts in a kinase-dependent and kinase-independent manner to promote or suppress apoptosis and necroptosis, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that a mutation (R588E) disrupting the RIPK1 death domain (DD) caused perinatal lethality induced by ZBP1-mediated necroptosis. Additionally, these mice developed postnatal inflammatory pathology, which was mediated by necroptosis-independent TNFR1, TRADD, and TRIF signaling, partially requiring RIPK3. Our biochemical mechanistic studies revealed that ZBP1- and TRIF-mediated activation of RIPK3 required RIPK1 kinase activity in wild-type cells but not in Ripk1R588E/R588E cells, suggesting that DD-dependent oligomerization of RIPK1 and its interaction with FADD determine the mechanisms of RIPK3 activation by ZBP1 and TRIF. Collectively, these findings revealed a critical physiological role of DD-dependent RIPK1 signaling that is important for the regulation of tissue homeostasis and inflammation.

Phase separation is a vital mechanism that mediates the formation of biomolecular condensates and their functions. Necroptosis is a lytic form of programmed cell death mediated by RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL downstream of TNFR1 and has been implicated in mediating many human diseases. However, whether necroptosis is regulated by phase separation is not yet known. Here, we show that upon the induction of necroptosis and recruitment by the adaptor protein TAX1BP1, PARP5A and its binding partner RNF146 form liquid-like condensates by multivalent interactions to perform poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) and PARylation-dependent ubiquitination (PARdU) of activated RIPK1 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We show that PARdU predominantly occurs on the K376 residue of mouse RIPK1, which promotes proteasomal degradation of kinase-activated RIPK1 to restrain necroptosis. Our data demonstrate that PARdU on K376 of mouse RIPK1 provides an alternative cell death checkpoint mediated by phase separation-dependent control of necroptosis by PARP5A and RNF146.

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection represents the most severe form of human viral hepatitis; however, the mechanisms underlying its pathology remain incompletely understood. We recently developed an HDV mouse model by injecting adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) containing replication-competent HBV and HDV genomes. This model replicates many features of human infection, including liver injury. Notably, the extent of liver damage can be diminished with anti-TNF-α treatment. Here, we found that TNF-α is mainly produced by macrophages. Downstream of the TNF-α receptor (TNFR), the receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) serves as a cell fate regulator, playing roles in both cell survival and death pathways. In this study, we explored the function of RIPK1 and other host factors in HDV-induced cell death. We determined that the scaffolding function of RIPK1, and not its kinase activity, offers partial protection against HDV-induced apoptosis. A reduction in RIPK1 expression in hepatocytes through CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing significantly intensifies HDV-induced damage. Contrary to our expectations, the protective effect of RIPK1 was not linked to TNF-α or macrophage activation, as their absence did not alter the extent of damage. Intriguingly, in the absence of RIPK1, macrophages confer a protective role. However, in animals unresponsive to type-I IFNs, RIPK1 downregulation did not exacerbate the damage, suggesting RIPK1's role in shielding hepatocytes from type-I IFN-induced cell death. Interestingly, while the damage extent is similar between IFNα/ßR KO and wild type mice in terms of transaminase elevation, their cell death mechanisms differ. In conclusion, our findings reveal that HDV-induced type-I IFN production is central to inducing hepatocyte death, and RIPK1's scaffolding function offers protective benefits. Thus, type-I IFN together with TNF-α, contribute to HDV-induced liver damage. These insights may guide the development of novel therapeutic strategies to mitigate HDV-induced liver damage and halt disease progression.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for initiating the acquired immune response to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has evolved strategies to inhibit activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages via its serine/threonine protein kinase, protein kinase F (PknF). It is not known whether this pathway is conserved in DCs. In this study, we show that the pknF deletion mutant of M. tuberculosis (MtbΔpknF) compared with wild-type M. tuberculosis-infected cells induces increased production of IL-1ß and increased pyroptosis in murine bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs). As shown for murine macrophages, the enhanced production of IL-1ß postinfection of BMDCs with MtbΔpknF is dependent on NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1/11. In contrast to macrophages, we show that MtbΔpknF mediates RIPK3/caspase-8-dependent IL-1ß production in BMDCs. Consistently, infection with MtbΔpknF results in increased activation of caspase-1 and caspase-8 in BMDCs. When compared with M. tuberculosis-infected cells, the IL-6 production by MtbΔpknF-infected cells was unchanged, indicating that the mutant does not affect the priming phase of inflammasome activation. In contrast, the activation phase was impacted because the MtbΔpknF-induced inflammasome activation in BMDCs depended on potassium efflux, chloride efflux, reactive oxygen species generation, and calcium influx. In conclusion, PknF is important for M. tuberculosis to evade NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 and RIPK3/caspase-8 pathways in BMDCs.

Endothelial dysfunction is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular events, but the mechanism is unclear. In our study, we found elevated levels of RIPK1 in patients with CKD and cardiovascular events through bioinformation analysis. Elevated RIPK1 levels were found in serum samples of CKD patients and were associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction and renal function. We constructed the five of six nephrectomy of CKD mice model, finding that RIPK1 expressions were elevated in abdominal aorta endothelial cells. After RIPK1 inhibition and overexpression, it was found that RIPK1 could regulate the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cell adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and activation of inflammatory responses and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In addition, uremic toxin induced abnormal expression of RIPK1 in vitro. We observed RIPK1-mediating endothelial dysfunction and inflammation responses by ER stress pathways through gain and loss of function. In order to explore the specific mechanism, we conducted co-immunoprecipitation and expression regulation of RIPK1 and IKK, finding that RIPK1 formed complex with IKK and regulated IKK expression. In conclusion, we demonstrated that RIPK1 levels were closely associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction in patients with CKD. With uremic toxins, RIPK1 expression was elevated, which led to the activation of inflammation through the ER stress pathway, resulting in vascular endothelial injury. Besides, activation of RIPK1-IKK-NF-κB axis was a key driver of endothelial dysfunction in CKD. Our study provides a new perspective for the study of cardiovascular events in CKD.

BACKGROUND: The innate immune system serves as the first line of host defense. Transforming growth factor-ß-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a key regulator of innate immunity, cell survival, and cellular homeostasis. Because of its importance in immunity, several pathogens have evolved to carry TAK1 inhibitors. In response, hosts have evolved to sense TAK1 inhibition and induce robust lytic cell death, PANoptosis, mediated by the RIPK1-PANoptosome. PANoptosis is a unique innate immune inflammatory lytic cell death pathway initiated by an innate immune sensor and driven by caspases and RIPKs. While PANoptosis can be beneficial to clear pathogens, excess activation is linked to pathology. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating TAK1 inhibitor (TAK1i)-induced PANoptosis is central to our understanding of RIPK1 in health and disease. RESULTS: In this study, by analyzing results from a cell death-based CRISPR screen, we identified protein phosphatase 6 (PP6) holoenzyme components as regulators of TAK1i-induced PANoptosis. Loss of the PP6 enzymatic component, PPP6C, significantly reduced TAK1i-induced PANoptosis. Additionally, the PP6 regulatory subunits PPP6R1, PPP6R2, and PPP6R3 had redundant roles in regulating TAK1i-induced PANoptosis, and their combined depletion was required to block TAK1i-induced cell death. Mechanistically, PPP6C and its regulatory subunits promoted the pro-death S166 auto-phosphorylation of RIPK1 and led to a reduction in the pro-survival S321 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our findings demonstrate a key requirement for the phosphatase PP6 complex in the activation of TAK1i-induced, RIPK1-dependent PANoptosis, suggesting this complex could be therapeutically targeted in inflammatory conditions.

Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacteria that causes the global zoonotic disease Q Fever. Treatment options for chronic infection are limited, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies requires a greater understanding of how C. burnetii interacts with immune signaling. Cell death responses are known to be manipulated by C. burnetii, but the role of caspase-8, a central regulator of multiple cell death pathways, has not been investigated. In this research, we studied bacterial manipulation of caspase-8 signaling and the significance of caspase-8 to C. burnetii infection, examining bacterial replication, cell death induction, and cytokine signaling. We measured caspase, RIPK, and MLKL activation in C. burnetii-infected tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)/cycloheximide-treated THP-1 macrophage-like cells and TNFα/ZVAD-treated L929 cells to assess apoptosis and necroptosis signaling. Additionally, we measured C. burnetii replication, cell death, and TNFα induction over 12 days in RIPK1-kinase-dead, RIPK3-kinase-dead, or RIPK3-kinase-dead-caspase-8-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to understand the significance of caspase-8 and RIPK1/3 during infection. We found that caspase-8 is inhibited by C. burnetii, coinciding with inhibition of apoptosis and increased susceptibility to necroptosis. Furthermore, C. burnetii replication was increased in BMDMs lacking caspase-8, but not in those lacking RIPK1/3 kinase activity, corresponding with decreased TNFα production and reduced cell death. As TNFα is associated with the control of C. burnetii, this lack of a TNFα response may allow for the unchecked bacterial growth we saw in caspase-8-/- BMDMs. This research identifies and explores caspase-8 as a key regulator of C. burnetii infection, opening novel therapeutic doors.

The inflammatory response is tightly regulated to eliminate invading pathogens and avoid excessive production of inflammatory mediators and tissue damage. Caspase-8 is a cysteine protease that is involved in programmed cell death. Here we show the TRIF-RIPK1-Caspase-8 is required for LPS-induced CYLD degradation in macrophages. TRIF functions in the upstream of RIPK1. The homotypic interaction motif of TRIF and the death domain of RIPK1 are essential for Caspase-8 activation. Caspase-8 cleaves CYLD and the D235A mutant is resistant to the protease activity of Caspase-8. TRIF and RIPK1 serve as substrates of Capase-8 in vitro. cFLIP interacts with Caspase-8 to modulate its protease activity on CYLD and cell death. Deficiency in TRIF, Caspase-8 or CYLD can lead to a decrease or increase in the expression of genes encoding inflammatory cytokines. Together, the TRIF-Caspase-8 and CYLD play opposite roles in the regulation of TLR4 signalling.

BACKGROUND: Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) is one of the causes of tumor immune tolerance and failure of cancer immunotherapy. Here, we found that bladder cancer (BCa)-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 could enhance the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSCs by regulating the expression of fatty acid transporter protein 2 (FATP2) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3). However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. METHODS: BCa-derived exosomes was isolated and used for a series of experiments. RNA sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed circRNAs. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, ELISA and Flow cytometry were performed to reveal the potential mechanism of circRNA_0013936 promoting the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSC. RESULTS: CircRNA_0013936 enriched in BCa-derived exosomes could promote the expression of FATP2 and inhibit the expression of RIPK3 in PMN-MDSCs. Mechanistically, circRNA_0013936 promoted the expression of FATP2 and inhibited the expression of RIPK3 expression via sponging miR-320a and miR-301b, which directly targeted JAK2 and CREB1 respectively. Ultimately, circRNA_0013936 significantly inhibited the functions of CD8+ T cells by up-regulating FATP2 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-320a/JAK2 pathway, and down-regulating RIPK3 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-301b/CREB1 pathway in PMN-MDSCs. CONCLUSIONS: BCa-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 promotes suppressive immunity by up-regulating FATP2 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-320a/JAK2 pathway and down-regulating RIPK3 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-301b-3p/CREB1 pathway in PMN-MDSCs. These findings help to find new targets for clinical treatment of human bladder cancer.

The monogenic causes of very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) have been defined by genetic studies, which were usually related to primary immunodeficiencies. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase-1 (RIPK1) protein is an important signalling molecule in inflammation and cell death pathways. Its deficiency may lead to various clinical features linked to immunodeficiency and/or inflammation, including IBD. Here, we discuss an infant with malnutrition, VEO-IBD, recurrent infections and polyathritis who has a homozygous partial deletion in RIPK1 gene.

Cardiac ischemia results in anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid accumulation and with time, intracellular and extracellular acidosis. Ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury (IRI) lead to various forms of programmed cell death. Necroptosis is a major form of programmed necrosis that worsens cardiac function directly and also promotes inflammation by the release of cellular contents. Potential effects of increasing acidosis on programmed cell death and their specific components have not been well studied. While apoptosis is caspase-dependent, in contrast, necroptosis is mediated by the receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 and 3 (RIPK1/3). In our study, we observed that at physiological pH = 7.4, caspase-8 inhibition did not prevent TNFα-induced cell death in mouse cardiac vascular endothelial cells (MVECs) but promoted necroptotic cell death. As expected, necroptosis was blocked by RIPK1 inhibition. However, at pH = 6.5, TNFα induced an apoptosis-like pattern which was inhibited by caspase-8 inhibition. Interestingly phosphorylation of necroptotic molecules RIPK1, RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) was enhanced in an acidic pH environment. However, RIPK3 and MLKL phosphorylation was self-limited which may have limited their participation in necroptosis. In addition, an acidic pH promoted apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) cleavage and nuclear translocation. AIF RNA silencing inhibited cell death, supporting the role of AIF in this cell death. In summary, our study demonstrated that the pH of the micro-environment during inflammation can bias cell death pathways by altering the function of necroptosis-related molecules and promoting AIF-mediated cell death. Further insights into the mechanisms by which an acidic cellular micro-environment influences these and perhaps other forms of regulated cell death, may lead to therapeutic strategies to attenuate IRI.

Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), a main active ingredient of salvia miltiorrhiza, has a wide range of antitumor effects, while its specific role and mechanism in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) is not fully understood. Totally 59 primary HNSCC patients underwent two courses of induction chemotherapy before surgery. The association between expression of Fas-Associated Death Domain (FADD) and receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and chemotherapy resistance and survival were evaluated. The cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the effect of Tan IIA on the activity of cisplatin in chemoresistant HNSCC cells through a series of in vitro experiments. The quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis and flow cytometry were used. FADD and RIPK1 expressions were differentially expressed in Chemosensitive and drug-resistant patients. Furthermore, patients with tumors exhibiting high expression of FADD and RIPK1 had significantly greater risk for chemoresistance and mortality than patients with tumors that had low levels of these proteins. Moreover, Tan IIA reduced the expression of RIPK1 and FADD in HNSCC chemoresistant cell lines, which could increase the chemosensitivity of cisplatin and promote apoptosis. Overexpression of RIPK1 led to attenuation of therapeutic effects of Tan IIA, which were mainly realized through regulation of the RIPK1-FADD-Caspase 8 complex. This study is the first to demonstrate the clinical value and role of FADD and RIPK1 in the treatment of HNSCC. This work establishes the proapoptotic effects of Tan IIA and its potential to enhance chemosensitivity in HNSCC by modulating the RIPK1-FADD-Caspase 8 complex.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism by which intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) death induces arthritis. METHODS: IEC death was assessed by staining for necroptosis and apoptosis markers and fluorescence in situ hybridisation at different time points during collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). During the development of CIA, messenger RNA (mRNA) sequencing was performed, followed by Gene Ontology enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes. Mice deficient for hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (Hif1a) in IECs (Hif1a ∆IEC) were generated and induced for arthritis. mRNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitated (ChIP) DNA sequencing and ChIP-qualitative PCR were performed on IECs from Hif1a ∆IEC mice and littermate controls. Effects of HIF1α stabilisation by inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing enzymes and treatment with the inhibitor of receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) were tested in intestinal organoids and in CIA. RESULTS: IEC underwent apoptotic and necroptotic cell death at the onset of arthritis, leading to impaired gut barrier function. HIF1α was identified as one of the most upregulated genes in IECs during the onset of arthritis. Deletion of Hif1a in IEC enhanced IEC necroptosis, triggered intestinal inflammation and exacerbated arthritis. HIF1α was found to be a key transcriptional repressor for the necroptosis-inducing factor RIPK3. Enhanced RIPK3 expression, indicating necroptosis, was also found in the intestinal epithelium of patients with new-onset rheumatoid arthritis. Therapeutic stabilisation of HIF1α as well as small-molecule-based RIPK3 inhibition rescued intestinal necroptosis in vitro and in vivo and suppressed the development of arthritis. CONCLUSION: Our results identify IEC necroptosis as a critical link between the gut and the development of arthritis.

BACKGROUND: Airway epithelial cell (AEC) necroptosis contributes to airway allergic inflammation and asthma exacerbation. Targeting the tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1 A (TL1A)/death receptor 3 (DR3) axis has a therapeutic effect on asthmatic airway inflammation. The role of TL1A in mediating necroptosis of AECs challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and its contribution to airway inflammation remains unclear. METHODS: We evaluated the expression of the receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3(RIPK3) and the mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) in human serum and lung, and histologically verified the level of MLKL phosphorylation in lung tissue from asthmatics and OVA-induced mice. Next, using MLKL knockout mice and the RIPK3 inhibitor GSK872, we investigated the effects of TL1A on airway inflammation and airway barrier function through the activation of necroptosis in experimental asthma. RESULTS: High expression of necroptosis marker proteins was observed in the serum of asthmatics, and necroptosis was activated in the airway epithelium of both asthmatics and OVA-induced mice. Blocking necroptosis through MLKL knockout or RIPK3 inhibition effectively attenuated parabronchial inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and airway collagen fiber accumulation, while also suppressing type 2 inflammatory factors secretion. In addition, TL1A/ DR3 was shown to act as a death trigger for necroptosis in the absence of caspases by silencing or overexpressing TL1A in HBE cells. Furthermore, the recombinant TL1A protein was found to induce necroptosis in vivo, and knockout of MLKL partially reversed the pathological changes induced by TL1A. The necroptosis induced by TL1A disrupted the airway barrier function by decreasing the expression of tight junction proteins zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, possibly through the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS: TL1A-induced airway epithelial necroptosis plays a significant role in promoting airway inflammation and barrier dysfunction in asthma. Inhibition of the TL1A-induced necroptosis pathway could be a promising therapeutic strategy.

Many DNA viruses develop various strategies to inhibit cell death to facilitate their replication. However, whether influenza A virus (IAV), a fast-replicating RNA virus, attenuates cell death remains unknown. Here, we report that IAV infection induces TAK1 phosphorylation in a murine alveolar epithelial cell line (LET1) and a murine fibroblastoma cell line (L929). The TAK1-specific inhibitor 5Z-7-Oxzeneonal (5Z) and TAK1 knockout significantly enhance IAV-induced apoptosis, as evidenced by increased PARP, caspase-8, and caspase-3 cleavage. TAK1 inhibition also increases necroptosis as evidenced by increased RIPK1S166, RIPK3T231/S232, and MLKLS345 phosphorylation. Mechanistically, TAK1 activates IKK, which phosphorylates RIPK1S25 and inhibits its activation. TAK1 also activates p38 and its downstream kinase MK2, which phosphorylates RIPK1S321 but does not affect RIPK1 activation. Further investigation revealed that the RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1 and RIPK1 knockout abrogate IAV-induced apoptosis and necroptosis; re-expression of wild-type but not kinase-dead (KD)-RIPK1 restores IAV-induced cell death. ZBP1 knockout abrogates IAV-induced cell death, whereas RIPK3 knockout inhibits IAV-induced necroptosis but not apoptosis. 5Z treatment enhances IAV-induced cell death and slightly reduces the inflammatory response in the lungs of H1N1 virus-infected mice and prolongs the survival of IAV-infected mice. Our study provides evidence that IAV activates TAK1 to suppress RIPK1-dependent apoptosis and necroptosis, and that RIPK3 is required for IAV-induced necroptosis but not apoptosis in epithelial cells.

RIPK1/TAK1 are important for programmed cell death, including liver death, necroptosis and apoptosis. However, there have been few published reports on the functions of RIPK1/TAK1 in invertebrates. In this study, full-length ChRIPK1 and ChTAK1 were cloned from C. hongkongensis through the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology. ChRIPK1 has almost no homology with human RIPK1 and lacks a kinase domain at the N-terminus but has a DD and RHIM domain. ChTAK1 is conserved throughout evolution. qRTâPCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression patterns of ChRIPK1 in different tissues, developmental stages, and V. coralliilyticus-infected individuals, and both were highly expressed in the mantle and gills, while ChRIPK1 was upregulated in hemocytes and gills after V. coralliilyticus or S. aureus infection, which indicates that ChRIPK1 is involved in immune regulation. Fluorescence assays revealed that ChRIPK1 localized to the cytoplasm of HEK293T cells in a punctiform manner, but the colocalization of ChRIPK1 with ChTAK1 abolished the punctiform morphology. In the dual-luciferase reporter assay, both ChRIPK1 and ChRIPK1-RIHM activated the NF-κB signaling pathway in HEK293T cells, and ChTAK1 activated ChRIPK1 in the NF-κB signaling pathway. The apoptosis rate of the hemocytes was not affected by the necroptosis inhibitor Nec-1 but was significantly decreased, and ChRIPK1 expression was knocked down in the hemocytes of C. hongkongensis. These findings indicated that ChRIPK1 induces apoptosis but not necroptosis in oysters. This study provides a theoretical basis for further research on the molecular mechanism by which invertebrates regulate the programmed cell death of hemocytes in oysters.

Necroptosis, necrosis characterized by RIPK3-MLKL activation, has been proposed as a mechanism of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiomyopathy. We showed that rapamycin, an mTORC1 inhibitor, attenuates cardiomyocyte necroptosis. Here we examined role of MLKL in DOX-induced myocardial damage and protective effects of rapamycin. Cardiomyopathy was induced in mice by intraperitoneal injections of DOX (10 mg/kg, every other day) and followed for 7 days. DOX-treated mice showed a significant decline in LVEF assessed by cardiac MRI (45.5 ± 5.1% vs. 65.4 ± 4.2%), reduction in overall survival rates, and increases in myocardial RIPK3 and MLKL expression compared with those in vehicle-treated mice, and those changes were prevented by administration of rapamycin (0.25 mg/kg) before DOX injection. In immunohistochemical analyses, p-MLKL signals were detected in the cardiomyocytes of DOX-treated mice, and the signals were reduced by rapamycin. Mlkl+/- and Mlkl-/- mice were similarly resistant to DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction, indicating that a modest reduction in MLKL level is sufficient to prevent the development of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. However, evidence of cardiomyocyte necrosis assessed by C9 immunostaining, presence of replacement fibrosis, and electron microscopic analyses was negligible in the myocardium of DOX-treated mice. Thus, MLKL-mediated signaling contributes to DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction primarily by a necrosis-independent mechanism, which is inhibitable by rapamycin.

BACKGROUND: Pterygium, characterized by the abnormal proliferation of epithelial cells, matrix remodeling, vascularization, and lesion migration, is a prevalent ocular surface disease involving the growth of fibrovascular tissue on the cornea. Despite the unclear underlying causes of pterygium, numerous investigations have indicated the involvement of cell death pathways in the regulation of cell cycle dynamics. Consequently, the objective of this study was to assess the expression levels of necroptosis markers in individuals diagnosed with pterygium, aiming to shed light on the potential role of necroptosis in the pathogenesis of this condition. METHODS: This study aimed to investigate the expression patterns of receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 3 (RIPK3) and receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1) genes in pterygium tissues. 41 patients undergoing pterygium excision surgery were recruited. Resected pterygium samples and normal conjunctival tissues were collected, and RIPK3 and RIPK1 mRNA levels were measured using quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS: Our findings reveal that the expression of RIPK3 is significantly increased in samples obtained from individuals with pterygium. However, no significant alterations were observed in the expression of RIPK1 in these samples. Results showed significantly higher RIPK3 expression in pterygium tissues compared to controls. Moreover, increased RIPK3 levels correlated negatively with pterygium recurrence rates. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest RIPK3 may play a protective role against pterygium recurrence through necroptosis.

Necroptosis is a regulated form of cell death involved in the development of various pathological conditions. In contrast to apoptosis, plasma membrane rupture (PMR) occurs in cells in the relatively early stage of necroptosis; therefore, necroptosis induces a strong inflammatory response. Stimuli, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon (IFN)α/ß, lipopolysaccharide, polyI:C, and viral infection, induce the formation of necrosomes that lead to membrane rupture and the release of intracellular contents, termed danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs are the collective term for molecules that normally reside in the cytoplasm or nucleus in living cells without inducing inflammation but induce strong inflammatory responses when released outside cells. Recent studies have provided a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying PMR and the release of DAMPs. Moreover, necroptosis is involved in various pathological conditions, and mutations in necroptosis-related genes can cause hereditary autoinflammatory syndromes. Thus, manipulating necroptosis signaling pathways may be useful for treating diseases involving necroptosis.

The regulation of various types of cell death may help to restore the normal physiological function of cells and play a protective role in sepsis. In the current study, we explore the role of programmed cell necrosis in sepsis and the underlying mechanisms. The septic rat model is established by Cecal-ligation and perforation (CLP), and the in vitro model is established by LPS in IEC-6 cells. Our results demonstrate that receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) is significantly upregulated in the ileum of septic rats and LPS-treated IEC-6 cells at both the mRNA and protein levels. Nec-1, an inhibitor of RIP1, reduces the protein levels of RIP1, p-RIP3, and phosphorylated mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) (serine 358) and relieves intestinal injury in CLP-induced septic rats with decreased IL-6 and TNF-α levels. The in vitro experiments further reveal that LPS induces the colocalization of RIP1 and RIP3, resulting in the phosphorylation and translocation of MLKL to the plasma membrane in IEC-6 cells. LPS also facilitates ROS production in IEC-6 cells, but this effect is further reversed by Nec-1, si-RIP1 and si-RIP3. Furthermore, LPS-induced necrosis in IEC-6 cells is counteracted by NAC. Thus, we conclude that RIP1/RIP3-dependent programmed cell necrosis participates in intestinal injury in sepsis and may be associated with RIP1/RIP3-mediated ROS.
