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.

Endothelin-1 axes in the framework of predictive, preventive and personalised (3P) medicine.

TL;DR: In this article, an in-depth analysis of the involvement of ET-1 and related regulatory pathways in physiological and pathophysiological processes and estimates its capacity as a predictor of ageing and related pathologies, a sensor of lifestyle quality and progression of suboptimal health conditions to diseases for their targeted prevention and as a potent target for cost-effective treatments tailored to the person.

Natural Compounds As Modulators of Non-apoptotic Cell Death in Cancer Cells.

TL;DR: The role of natural compounds from plants, microorganisms and sea life forms, which are able to induce non-apoptotic cell death in tumor cells, namely autophagy and necroptosis are underlined.

RIPK3-mediated inflammation is a conserved β cell response to ER stress.

TL;DR: RIPK3-mediated induction of proinflammatory mediators is a conserved, previously unrecognized β cell response to metabolic stress and a mediator of the ensuing islet inflammation.

Tubular epithelial cells in renal clear cell carcinoma express high RIPK1/3 and show increased susceptibility to TNF receptor 1-induced necroptosis

TL;DR: It is concluded that most high-grade RCC cells express increased amounts of RIPK1 and RIPK3 and are poised to undergo necroptosis in response to TNFR1 signaling, implying that different subsets of cells respond differently to TNF-α.

Mechanisms of Regulated Cell Death: Current Perspectives.

TL;DR: In this article, the current understanding of the molecular machinery of each type of non-apoptotic RCD mechanisms is outlined Due to the continuous discovery of new mechanisms or nuances of previously described processes, the limitations of the terms apoptosis and necrosis to indicate microscopic findings are also reported In addition, the need for a standard panel of biomarkers and functional tests to adequately characterize the underlying RCD and its role as a mechanism of disease is considered

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.

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.
