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.

Kinase RIP3 Is Dispensable for Normal NF-κBs, Signaling by the B-Cell and T-Cell Receptors, Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1, and Toll-Like Receptors 2 and 4

TL;DR: RIP3 is generated by gene targeting and found to be dispensable for normal mouse development, which can exclude RIP3 as an essential modulator of NF-κB signaling downstream of several receptor systems.

Requirement for Casper (c-FLIP) in Regulation of Death Receptor–Induced Apoptosis and Embryonic Development

TL;DR: It is suggested that Casper has two distinct roles: to cooperate with FADD and caspase-8 during embryonic development and to mediate cytoprotection against death factor-induced apoptosis.

Virus Inhibition of RIP3-Dependent Necrosis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that a virus-encoded inhibitor of RIP activation (vIRA) targets RIP3 during infection and disrupts RIP3-RIP1 interactions characteristic of TNFα-induced necroptosis, thereby suppressing both death pathways.

RIP Kinase-Dependent Necrosis Drives Lethal Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

TL;DR: It is suggested that RIPK1-RIPK3-mediated cellular damage by necrosis drives mortality during TNF-induced SIRS, and RIPK3 deficiency also protected against cecal ligation and puncture, underscoring the clinical relevance of RIPK kinase inhibition in sepsis.

Essential role for caspase 8 in T-cell homeostasis and T-cell-mediated immunity

TL;DR: An essential, cell-stage-specific role for caspase 8 in T- cell homeostasis and T-cell-mediated immunity is identified, consistent with the recent identification of caspases 8 mutations in human immunodeficiency.
