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.

NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cell death.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the inextricable link between NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cell death and discuss potential therapeutics that target cell death effectors in NLRP-associated diseases.

The Pathogen Candida albicans Hijacks Pyroptosis for Escape from Macrophages

TL;DR: The data provide a new model for how the interplay between fungal morphogenesis and activation of a host cell death pathway mediates macrophage killing by C. albicans hyphae and suggest that the defects of the Mediator mutants in causing macrophages death are caused, at least in part, by reduced activation of pyroptosis.

The B-RafV600E inhibitor dabrafenib selectively inhibits RIP3 and alleviates acetaminophen-induced liver injury

TL;DR: The results indicate that the anticancer B-RafV600E inhibitor dabrafenib is a RIP3 inhibitor, which could serve as a sharp tool for probing the RIP3 biology and as a potential preventive or therapeutic agent for RIP3-involved necroptosis-related diseases such as acetaminophen-induced liver damage.

SARS-Coronavirus Open Reading Frame-3a drives multimodal necrotic cell death.

TL;DR: Rip3-mediated oligomerization of Sars 3a causes necrotic cell death, lysosomal damage, and caspase-1 activation—all likely contributing to the clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV infection.

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.
