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.

Regulated necrosis: the expanding network of non-apoptotic cell death pathways

TL;DR: Elucidating how these pathways of regulated necrosis are interconnected at the molecular level should enable this process to be therapeutically targeted.

Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-like Protein MLKL Causes Necrotic Membrane Disruption upon Phosphorylation by RIP3

TL;DR: The development of a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes phosphorylated MLKL in cells dying of this pathway and in human liver biopsy samples from patients suffering from drug-induced liver injury is reported.

Glutaminolysis and Transferrin Regulate Ferroptosis.

TL;DR: Inhibition of glutaminolysis, the essential component of ferroptosis, can reduce heart injury triggered by ischemia/reperfusion, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for treating related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferroptosis is an autophagic cell death process

TL;DR: It is reported that inhibition of ferritinophagy by blockage of autophagy or knockdown of NCOA4 abrogated the accumulation of ferroptosis-associated cellular labile iron and reactive oxygen species, as well as eventual ferroPTotic cell death.

Caspase-1-induced pyroptosis is an innate immune effector mechanism against intracellular bacteria (111.33)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activation of caspase-1 clears intracellular bacteria in vivo independently of IL-1β and IL-18 and establishes pyroptosis as an efficient mechanism of bacterial clearance by the innate immune system.

Fas-associated death domain (FADD) is a negative regulator of T-cell receptor–mediated necroptosis

TL;DR: It is found that programmed necrosis occurs during the late stage of normal T-cell proliferation and that this process is greatly amplified in FADD-deficient T cells, indicating that FADD constitutes a mechanism to keep TCR-induced programmed necrotic signaling in check during early phases of T- cell clonal expansion.

Dichotomy between RIP1- and RIP3-mediated necroptosis in tumor necrosis factor-α-induced shock.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RIP3-deficient mice are protected markedly from TNFα-mediated shock in the presence and absence of caspase inhibition, and it is shown that the fusion protein TAT-crmA, previously demonstrated to inhibit apoptosis, also prevents necroptosis in L929, HT29 and FADD- deficient Jurkat cells.

Identification of RIP3, a RIP-like kinase that activates apoptosis and NFκB

TL;DR: Interestingly, the carboxy-terminal domain of RIP3, like that of RIP, could activate the transcription factor NFκB and induce apoptosis when expressed in mammalian cells, and appears to function as an intermediary in TNFα-induced apoptosis.

The RIP-like kinase, RIP3, induces apoptosis and NF-κB nuclear translocation and localizes to mitochondria

TL;DR: Results indicate that rip3 mRNA displays a restricted pattern of expression including regions of the adult central nervous system, and point mutations of RIP3 at amino acids conserved among death domains, abrogated its apoptotic activity.

Complementary roles of Fas-associated death domain (FADD) and receptor interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) in T-cell homeostasis and antiviral immunity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RIPK3 and FADD have opposing and complementary roles in promoting T-cell clonal expansion and homeostasis, and caspase-mediated cleavage of RIPK1-containing necrosis inducing complexes (necrosomes) is sufficient to prevent necroptosis in the face of death receptor signaling.
