RIP3: a molecular switch for necrosis and inflammation.

TLDR
The current understanding of the mechanisms that drive RIP3-dependent necrosis and its role in different inflammatory diseases is reviewed.
Abstract
The receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3/RIPK3) has emerged as a critical regulator of programmed necrosis/ necroptosis, an inflammatory form of cell death with important functions in pathogen-induced and sterile inflammation. RIP3 activation is tightly regulated by phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and caspase-mediated cleavage. These post-translational modifications coordinately regulate the assembly of a macromolecular signaling complex termed the necrosome. Recently, several reports indicate that RIP3 can promote inflammation independent of its pronecrotic activity. Here, we review our current understanding of the mechanisms that drive RIP3-dependent necrosis and its role in different inflammatory diseases.

Activity of protein kinase RIPK3 determines whether cells die by necroptosis or apoptosis.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the kinase activity of RIPK3 is essential for necroptosis but also governs whether a cell activates caspase-8 and dies by apoptosis.

CaMKII is a RIP3 substrate mediating ischemia- and oxidative stress-induced myocardial necroptosis

TL;DR: It is shown that receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) triggers myocardial necroptosis, in addition to apoptosis and inflammation, through activation of Ca2+-calmodulin–dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) rather than through the well-established RIP3 partners RIP1 and MLKL.

Methylation-dependent loss of RIP3 expression in cancer represses programmed necrosis in response to chemotherapeutics

TL;DR: This work shows that programmed necrosis is activated in response to many chemotherapeutic agents and contributes to chemotherapy-induced cell death, and proposes that RIP3-deficient cancer patients may benefit from receiving hypomethylating agents to induce RIP3 expression prior to treatment with conventional Chemotherapeutics.

Die another way – non-apoptotic mechanisms of cell death

TL;DR: Several regulated non-apoptotic forms of cell death including necroptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis and caspase-independent cell death are discussed, outlining what the authors know about their mechanism, potential roles in vivo and define outstanding questions.

Innate Immunity and Inflammation in NAFLD/NASH.

TL;DR: New insights are presented into the factors promoting the inflammatory response in NASH including sterile cell death processes resulting from lipotoxicity in hepatocytes as well as into the altered gut-liver axis function, which involves translocation of bacterial products into portal circulation as a result of gut leakiness.

Apoptosis: a basic biological phenomenon with wide-ranging implications in tissue kinetics.

TL;DR: Apoptosis seems to be involved in cell turnover in many healthy adult tissues and is responsible for focal elimination of cells during normal embryonic development, and participates in at least some types of therapeutically induced tumour regression.

TL;DR: The molecular pathways of this cancer-related inflammation are now being unravelled, resulting in the identification of new target molecules that could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment.

An endotoxin-induced serum factor that causes necrosis of tumors

TL;DR: It is proposed that TNF mediates endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis, and that it may be responsible for the suppression of transformed cells by activated macrophages.

Proapoptotic BAX and BAK: A Requisite Gateway to Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Death

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that doubly deficient cells are resistant to multiple apoptotic stimuli that act through disruption of mitochondrial function: staurosporine, ultraviolet radiation, growth factor deprivation, etoposide, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress stimuli thapsigargin and tunicamycin.
