Abstract
Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a master regulator of TNFR1 signaling in controlling cell death and survival. While the scaffold of RIPK1 participates in the canonical NF-κB pathway, the activation of RIPK1 kinase promotes not only necroptosis and apoptosis, but also inflammation by mediating the transcriptional induction of inflammatory cytokines. The nuclear translocation of activated RIPK1 has been shown to interact BAF-complex to promote chromatin remodeling and transcription. This review will highlight the proinflammatory role of RIPK1 kinase with focus on human neurodegenerative diseases. We will discuss the possibility of targeting RIPK1 kinase for the treatment of inflammatory pathology in human diseases.

Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioural disorder in children and adolescents. Although increases in oxidative stress and disturbances of neurotransmitter system such as the dopaminergic and abnormalities in several brain regions have been demonstrated, the pathophysiology of ADHD is not fully understood. Nevertheless, ADHD involves several factors that have been associated with an increase in neuroinflammation. This chapter presents an overview of factors that may increase neuroinflammation and play a potential role in the development and pathophysiology of ADHD. The altered immune response, polymorphisms in inflammatory-related genes, ADHD comorbidity with autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and prenatal exposure to inflammation are associated with alterations in offspring brain development and are a risk factor; genetic and environmental risk factors that may increase the risk for ADHD and medications can increase neuroinflammation. Evidence of an association between these factors has been an invaluable tool for research on inflammation in ADHD. Therefore, evidence studies have made it possible to generate alternative therapeutic interventions using natural products as anti-inflammatories that could have great potential against neuroinflammation in ADHD.

Abstract
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is a proteolytic machinery for the degradation of protein substrates that are post-translationally conjugated with ubiquitin polymers through the enzymatic action of ubiquitin ligases, in a process termed ubiquitylation. Ubiquitylation of substrates precedes their proteolysis via proteasomes, a hierarchical feature of UPS. E3-ubiquitin ligases recruit protein substrates providing specificity for ubiquitylation. Innate and adaptive immune system networks are regulated by ubiquitylation and substrate degradation via E3-ligases/UPS. Deregulation of E3-ligases/UPS components in immune cells is involved in the development of lymphomas, neurodevelopmental abnormalities, and cancers. Targeting E3-ligases for therapeutic intervention provides opportunities to mitigate the unintended broad effects of 26S proteasome inhibition. Recently, bifunctional moieties such as PROTACs and molecular glues have been developed to re-purpose E3-ligases for targeted degradation of unwanted aberrant proteins, with a potential for clinical use. Here, we summarize the involvement of E3-ligases/UPS components in immune-related diseases with perspectives.

Abstract
Necroptosis was elevated in both tubulointerstitial and glomerular renal tissue in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and was most pronounced on glomerulus in the stage with macroalbuminuria. This study further explored whether paeoniflorin (PF) could affect podocyte necroptosis to protect kidney injure in vivo and in vitro. Our study firstly verified that there are obvious necroptosis-related changes in the glomeruli of DKD through bioinformatics analysis combined with clinicopathological data. STZ-induced mouse diabetes model and high-glucose induced podocyte injury model were used to evaluate the renoprotection, podocyte injury protection and necroptosis regulation of PF in DKD. Subsequently, the target protein-TNFR1 that PF acted on podocytes was found by computer target prediction, and then molecular docking and Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments were performed to verify that PF had the ability to directly bind to TNFR1 protein. Finally, knockdown of TNFR1 on podocytes in vitro verified that PF mainly regulated the programmed necrosis of podocytes induced by high glucose through TNFR1. In conclusion, PF can directly bind and promote the degradation of TNFR1 in podocytes and then regulate the RIPK1/RIPK3 signaling pathway to affect necroptosis, thus preventing podocyte injury in DKD. Thus, TNFR1 may be used as a new potential target to treat DKD.

Mathematical modeling of the molecular switch of TNFR1-mediated signaling pathways applying Petri net formalism and in silico knockout analysis. PLoS Comput Biol 2022; 18:e1010383. [PMID: 35994517 PMCID: PMC9467317 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The paper describes a mathematical model of the molecular switches of cell survival, apoptosis, and necroptosis in cellular signaling pathways initiated by tumor necrosis factor 1. Based on experimental findings in the literature, we constructed a Petri net model based on detailed molecular reactions of the molecular players, protein complexes, post-translational modifications, and cross talk. The model comprises 118 biochemical entities, 130 reactions, and 299 edges. We verified the model by evaluating invariant properties of the system at steady state and by in silico knockout analysis. Applying Petri net analysis techniques, we found 279 pathways, which describe signal flows from receptor activation to cellular response, representing the combinatorial diversity of functional pathways.120 pathways steered the cell to survival, whereas 58 and 35 pathways led to apoptosis and necroptosis, respectively. For 65 pathways, the triggered response was not deterministic and led to multiple possible outcomes. We investigated the in silico knockout behavior and identified important checkpoints of the TNFR1 signaling pathway in terms of ubiquitination within complex I and the gene expression dependent on NF-κB, which controls the caspase activity in complex II and apoptosis induction. Despite not knowing enough kinetic data of sufficient quality, we estimated system’s dynamics using a discrete, semi-quantitative Petri net model. It is still a challenge to develop mechanistic models for big molecular systems without the knowledge of enough kinetic parameters of sufficient quality. At the same time, more qualitative and semi-quantitative data have been produced in increasing numbers, e.g., by new high-throughput technologies. This has generated demands for new concepts at appropriate abstraction levels. The Petri net formalism enables the integration of qualitative as well as quantitative data and provides algorithms and methods for model verification and model simulation. Moreover, Petri nets exhibit a clear and coherent visualization. Here, we modeled the molecular switches between cell survival, apoptosis, and necroptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor 1. We were interested not only in an exhaustive exploration of all possible signaling pathways, but also in finding the system’s checkpoints. Our Petri net model comprises 118 biochemical entities, 130 reactions, and 299 edges. We found 279 pathways that describe signal flows from receptor activation to cellular response.120 pathways steered the cell to survival, whereas 58 and 35 pathways led to apoptosis and necroptosis, respectively. For 65 pathways, the triggered response was not deterministic, leading to multiple possible outcomes. We applied in silico knockout analyses to the Petri net model and could identify important checkpoints of the tumor necrosis factor 1 signaling pathway.

Molecular Pathways and Key Genes Associated With Breast Width and Protein Content in White Striping and Wooden Breast Chicken Pectoral Muscle. Front Physiol 2022; 13:936768.

Abstract
Growth-related abnormalities affecting modern chickens, known as White Striping (WS) and Wooden Breast (WB), have been deeply investigated in the last decade. Nevertheless, their precise etiology remains unclear. The present study aimed at providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in their onset by identifying clusters of co-expressed genes (i.e., modules) and key loci associated with phenotypes highly related to the occurrence of these muscular disorders. The data obtained by a Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) were investigated to identify hub genes associated with the parameters breast width (W) and total crude protein content (PC) of Pectoralis major muscles (PM) previously harvested from 12 fast-growing broilers (6 normal vs. 6 affected by WS/WB). W and PC can be considered markers of the high breast yield of modern broilers and the impaired composition of abnormal fillets, respectively. Among the identified modules, the turquoise (r = -0.90, p < 0.0001) and yellow2 (r = 0.91, p < 0.0001) were those most significantly related to PC and W, and therefore respectively named “protein content” and “width” modules. Functional analysis of the width module evidenced genes involved in the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and inflammatory response. GTPase activator activity, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, collagen catabolic process, and blood vessel development have been detected among the most significant functional categories of the protein content module. The most interconnected hub genes detected for the width module encode for proteins implicated in the adaptive responses to oxidative stress (i.e., THRAP3 and PRPF40A), and a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis family (i.e., BIRC2) involved in contrasting apoptotic events related to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress. The protein content module showed hub genes coding for different types of collagens (such as COL6A3 and COL5A2), along with MMP2 and SPARC, which are implicated in Collagen type IV catabolism and biosynthesis. Taken together, the present findings suggested that an ER stress condition may underly the inflammatory responses and apoptotic events taking place within affected PM muscles. Moreover, these results support the hypothesis of a role of the Collagen type IV in the cascade of events leading to the occurrence of WS/WB and identify novel actors probably involved in their onset.

Abstract
We aimed to identify a microRNA (miRNA)-E3 ubiquitin ligase regulatory network for protein substrates enriched in cell death pathways and investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms in alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). An miRNA-E3 ubiquitin ligase regulatory network for protein substrates enriched in cell death pathways was constructed using integrated bioinformatics analysis. Differentially expressed hub miRNAs (GSE59492) and their validated miRNA target genes (GSE28619) were identified in the liver of patients with AH compared with healthy controls. Liver samples from patients with AH and healthy individuals and mice exposed to Gao-binge (acute on chronic) ethanol were used for experimental validation. Using hub miRNAs identified by weighted correlation network analysis, a miRNA-E3 ubiquitin ligase regulatory network was established based on 17 miRNAs and 7 E3 ligase genes targeted by these miRNAs that were down-regulated in AH. Among the miRNAs in this regulatory network, miR-150-5p was the only miRNA regulating the E3 ligase cytokine-inducible SH2 containing protein (CISH), the E3 ligase that regulates the largest number of substrates among all E3 ligase family members. Therefore, the CISH regulatory pathway for ubiquitinated substrates was selected for subsequent experimental validation. Consistent with the bioinformatics analysis results, expression of miR-150-5p was markedly increased, while CISH was decreased, in the livers of patients with AH and mice exposed to Gao-binge ethanol. Moreover, ubiquitination of Fas-associated protein with death domain, a predicted CISH substrate involved in the regulation of programmed cell death, was reduced in livers from mice after Gao-binge ethanol. Conclusion: Identification of the miRNA-E3 ubiquitin ligase regulatory network for protein substrates enriched in the cell death pathways provides insights into the molecular mechanisms contributing to hepatocyte death in AH.

Abstract
The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the major intracellular and non-lysosomal protein degradation system. Thanks to its unique capacity of eliminating old, damaged, misfolded, and/or regulatory proteins in a highly specific manner, the UPS is virtually involved in almost all aspects of eukaryotic life. The critical importance of the UPS is particularly visible in immune cells which undergo a rapid and profound functional remodelling upon pathogen recognition. Innate and/or adaptive immune activation is indeed characterized by a number of substantial changes impacting various cellular processes including protein homeostasis, signal transduction, cell proliferation, and antigen processing which are all tightly regulated by the UPS. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which the UPS contributes to the generation of an adequate immune response. In this regard, we also discuss the consequences of UPS dysfunction and its role in the pathogenesis of recently described immune disorders including cancer and auto-inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The diabetogenic effects of metals including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and molybdenum (Mo) have been reported with poorly identified underlying mechanisms. The current study assessed the effect of metals on the roles of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation in beta pancreatic cells isolated from CD-1 mice, via different biochemical assays. Data showed that the tested metals were cytotoxic to the isolated cells with impaired glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). This was associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes activities, active proapoptotic caspase-3 (cas-3), inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in the intoxicated cells. Furthermore, antioxidant-reduced glutathione (GSH-R), cas-3 inhibitor z-VAD-FMK, IL-6 inhibitor bazedoxifene (BZ), and TNF-α inhibitor etanercept (ET) were found to significantly decrease metal-induced cytotoxicity with improved GSIS in metals' intoxicated cells. In conclusion, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation can play roles in metals-induced diabetogenic effect.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is indicated in the pathogenesis of several acute and chronic neurological disorders. Acute lesions in the brain parenchyma induce intense and highly complex neuroinflammatory reactions with similar mechanisms among various disease prototypes. Microglial cells in the CNS sense tissue damage and initiate inflammatory responses. The cellular and humoral constituents of the neuroinflammatory reaction to brain injury contribute significantly to secondary brain damage and neurodegeneration. Inflammatory cascades such as proinflammatory cytokines from invading leukocytes and direct cell-mediated cytotoxicity between lymphocytes and neurons are known to cause "collateral damage" in models of acute brain injury. In addition to degeneration and neuronal cell loss, there are secondary inflammatory mechanisms that modulate neuronal activity and affect neuroinflammation which can even be detected at the behavioral level. Hence, several of health conditions result from these pathogenetic conditions which are underlined by progressive neuronal function loss due to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. In the first part of this Review, we discuss critical neuroinflammatory mediators and their pathways in detail. In the second part, we review the phytochemicals which are considered as potential therapeutic molecules for treating neurodegenerative diseases with an inflammatory component.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14), one of the USP family members which belong to deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), plays a key role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis by trimming ubiquitin chains from their substrates. However, the roles of USP14 in response to virus infection still remains largely unknown. In the current study, a USP14 homolog from orange spotted grouper (EcUSP14) was cloned and its roles in innate immune response were investigated. EcUSP14 was composed of 1479 base pairs encoding a 492-amino acid (aa) polypeptide. Sequence analysis indicated that EcUSP14 shared 96.14% and 81.30% identity to USP14 of bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus) and humans (homo sapiens), respectively. EcUSP14 contains conserved ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain (aa 3-76) and peptidase-C19A domain (aa 106-481). In response to Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) infection in vitro, EcUSP14 was significantly up-regulated. Subcellular localization showed that EcUSP14 was predominantly localized in the cytoplasm of grouper spleen (GS) cells and mostly co-localized with the viral assembly sites after SGIV infection. The ectopic expression of EcUSP14 significantly promoted the replication of SGIV, as demonstrated by the accelerated progression of severity of cytopathic effect (CPE), the increased viral gene transcription and viral protein synthesis during infection. Consistently, treatment with IU1, a USP14 specific inhibitor, significantly inhibited the replication of SGIV, suggesting that USP14 function as a pro-viral factor during SGIV replication. Further analysis showed that EcUSP14 overexpression decreased the promoter activities of interferon (IFN)-1, IFN-3, IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE), and nuclear factor of kappa B (NF-κB). Furthermore, the ectopic expression of EcUSP14 decreased the activities of IFN-1 promoter evoked by TANK-binding kinase (TBK)-1 and melanoma differentiation-associated protein (MDA)-5, but not stimulator of interferon genes (STING). Thus, we speculated that EcUSP14 facilitated virus replication by negatively regulating the IFN response. Taken together, our results firstly demonstrated that fish USP14 functioned as a pro-viral factor by negatively regulating interferon response against virus infection.

Abstract
Genetic alterations of CYLD lysine 63 deubiquitinase (CYLD), a tumor-suppressor gene encoding a deubiquitinase (DUB) enzyme, are associated with the formation of tumors in CYLD cutaneous syndrome. Genome sequencing efforts have revealed somatic CYLD alterations in multiple human cancers. Moreover, in cancers commonly associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (e.g., head and neck squamous cell carcinoma), CYLD alterations are preferentially observed in the HPV-positive versus HPV-negative form of the disease. The CYLD enzyme cleaves K63-linked polyubiquitin from substrate proteins, resulting in the disassembly of key protein complexes and the inactivation of growth-promoting signaling pathways, including pathways mediated by NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin, and c-Jun N-terminal kinases. Loss-of-function CYLD alterations lead to aberrant activation of these signaling pathways, promoting tumorigenesis and malignant transformation. This review summarizes the association and potential role of CYLD somatic mutations in HPV-positive cancers, with particular emphasis on the role of these alterations in tumorigenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Potential therapeutic strategies for patients whose tumors harbor CYLD alterations are also discussed. IMPLICATIONS: Alterations in CYLD gene are associated with HPV-associated cancers, contribute to NF-κB activation, and are implicated in invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
Background: Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) signaling plays a pleiotropic role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The formation of TNFR1-complex I supports cell survival while TNFR1-complex II leads to apoptosis, and the underlying mechanisms of the transformation of these TNFR1 complexes in HCC remain poorly defined. Methods: The interaction protein of TNFR1 was identified by GST pulldown assay, immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. In vitro and in vivo assay were performed to explore the biological features and mechanisms underlying the regulation of TNFR1 signals by histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG). Data from the public databases and HCC samples were utilized to analyze the expression and clinical relevance of HRG. Results: HRG directly interacted with TNFR1 and stabilized TNFR1 protein by decreasing the Lys(K)-48 ubiquitination mediated-degradation. The formation of TNFR1-complex II was prompted by HRG overexpression via upregulating Lys(K)-63 ubiquitination of TNFR1. Besides, overexpression of HRG suppressed expression of pro-survival genes by impairing the activation of NF-κB signaling in the presence of TNFR1. Moreover, downregulation of HRG was a result of feedback inhibition of NF-κB activation in HCC. In line with the pro-apoptotic switch of TNFR1 signaling after HRG induction, overexpression of HRG inhibited cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in HCC. Conclusions: Our findings illustrate a crucial role for HRG in suppressing HCC via inclining TNFR1 to a pro-apoptotic cellular phenotype. Restoring HRG expression in HCC tissues might be a promising pharmacological approach to blocking tumor progression by shifting cellular fate from cell survival to apoptosis.

Abstract
Ubiquitin is a small protein used for posttranslational modification and it regulates every aspect of biological functions. Through a three-step cascade of enzymatic action, ubiquitin is conjugated to a substrate. Because ubiquitin itself can be post-translationally modified, this small protein generates various ubiquitin codes and triggers differing regulation of biological functions. For example, ubiquitin itself can be ubiquitinated, phosphorylated, acetylated, or SUMOylated. Via the type three secretion system, some bacterial effectors also modify the ubiquitin system in host cells. This review describes the general concept of the ubiquitin system as well as the fundamental functions of ubiquitin in the regulation of cellular responses during inflammation and bacterial infection.

Abstract
It has been confirmed that apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis are the three major modes of cell death. For a long time, necrosis is regarded as a deranged or accidental cell demise. In recent years, there is evidence showing that necrotic cell death can be a well regulated and orchestrated event, which is also known as programmed cell death or “necroptosis”. Necroptosis can be triggered by a variety of external stimuli and regulated by a caspase-independent pathway. It plays a key role in the pathogenesis of some diseases including neurological diseases. In the past two decades, a variety of studies have revealed that the necroptosis related pathway is activated in stroke, and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of stroke. Moreover, necroptosis may serve as a potential target in the therapy of stroke because genetic or pharmacological inhibition of necroptosis has been shown to be neuroprotective in stroke in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we briefly summarize re-cent advances in necroptosis, introduce the mechanism and strategies targeting necroptosis in stroke, and finally propose some issues in the treatment of stroke by targeting necroptosis

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) serves as the major intracellular pathway for protein degradation and plays crucial roles in several cellular processes. However, little is known about the potential actions of the UPS during fish virus infection. In this study, we elucidated the possible roles of UPS in the life cycle of Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV); a large DNA virus that usually causes serious systemic diseases with high mortality in groupers. Data from transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes illustrated that expression of 65 genes within the UPS pathway, including ubiquitin encoding, ubiquitination, deubiquitination, and proteasome, were up- or down-regulated during SGIV infection. Using different proteasome inhibitors, inhibition of the proteasome decreased SGIV replication in vitro, accompanied by inhibition of virus assembly site formation, and viral gene transcription and protein transportation. Over-expression of ubiquitin partly rescued the inhibitory effect of ubiquitin inhibitor on SGIV replication, suggesting that UPS was required for fish iridovirus infection in vitro. Viral or host proteins regulated by proteasome inhibition during SGIV infection were investigated with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Sixty-two differentially expressed proteins, including 15 viral and 47 host proteins, were identified after SGIV infection. The host proteins were involved in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation, metabolism, cytoskeleton, macromolecular biosynthesis, and signal transduction. Among them, 11 proteins were negatively regulated upon MG132 treatment during SGIV infection. This is believed to be the first study to provide evidence that UPS was essential for fish virus infection and replication.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and its severe form, known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are caused by direct pulmonary insults and indirect systemic inflammatory responses that result from conditions such as sepsis, trauma, and major surgery. The reciprocal influences between pulmonary and systemic inflammation augments the inflammatory process in the lung and promotes the development of ALI. Emerging evidence has revealed that alveolar macrophage (AM) death plays important roles in the progression of lung inflammation through its influence on other immune cell populations in the lung. Cell death and tissue inflammation form a positive feedback cycle, ultimately leading to exaggerated inflammation and development of disease. Pharmacological manipulation of AM death signals may serve as a logical therapeutic strategy for ALI/ARDS. This review will focus on recent advances in the regulation and underlying mechanisms of AM death as well as the influence of AM death on the development of ALI.

Abstract
Cezanne, a deubiquitinating cysteine protease (DUB) belonging to A20 subgroup of ovarian tumor (OTU) protein superfamily, functions as a negative regulator of NF-κB to attenuate NF-κB activation and to restrain pro-inflammatory transcription in response to TNF receptor (TNFR) signaling. It is the first documented OTU DUB that preferably disassembles Lys11-linked polyubiquitin chains and has been shown to regulate multiple cellular events including immune signaling, cell survival and tumor progression. Previous studies showed that in response to TNF stimulation, Cezanne is recruited to the activated TNFR complex to suppress the build-up of polyubiquitinated RIP1 signal by removing Lys63 polyubiquitin from RIP1. However, how is Cezanne recognized and recruited to TNFR complex is not clear yet. In this study, we characterized a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain in the N-terminal region of Cezanne and proved its activity to bind Lys63 polyubiquitin chain. By constructing a series of truncated and site-specific point mutants, we further localized the crucial binding sites for Lys63 polyubiquitin chains at Leu9 and Ser10 sites of Cezanne UBA domain. Mutation at these sites disrupted the recruitment of Cezanne to activated TNFR complex and dramatically reduced the inhibition of NF-κB activation by Cezanne. Our study demonstrated that the N-terminal UBA domain is crucial for the function of Cezanne during NF-κB activation. Cezanne is recognized and recruited into activated TNFR complex by specifically binding to polyubiquitinated signaling proteins after TNF stimulation through its N-terminal polyubiquitin binding site. This study sheds light on the molecular mechanism of negative regulation of NF-κB activation by Cezanne.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications contribute to the spliceosome dynamics by facilitating the physical rearrangements of the spliceosome. Here, we report USP15, a deubiquitinating enzyme, as a regulator of protein-protein interactions for the spliceosome dynamics. We show that PRP31, a component of U4 snRNP, is modified with K63-linked ubiquitin chains by the PRP19 complex and deubiquitinated by USP15 and its substrate targeting factor SART3. USP15SART3 makes a complex with USP4 and this ternary complex serves as a platform to deubiquitinate PRP31 and PRP3. The ubiquitination and deubiquitination status of PRP31 regulates its interaction with the U5 snRNP component PRP8, which is required for the efficient splicing of chromosome segregation related genes, probably by stabilizing the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex. Collectively, our data suggest that USP15 plays a key role in the regulation of dynamic protein-protein interactions of the spliceosome.

Abstract
Over the past decades, cell apoptosis has been significantly reputed as an accidental, redundant and alternative manner of cell demise which partakes in homeostasis in the development of extensive diseases. Nevertheless, necroptosis, another novel manner of cell death through a caspase-independent way, especially in neurodegenerative diseases remains ambiguous. The cognition of this form of cell demise is helpful to understand other forms of morphological resemblance of necrosis. Additionally, the concrete signal mechanism in the regulation of necroptosis is beneficial to the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated that necroptotic inhibitor, 24(S)-Hydroxycholesterol and partial specific histone deacetylase inhibitors could alleviate pathogenetic conditions of neurodegenerative diseases via necroptosis pathway. In this review, we summarize recent researches about mechanisms and modulation of necroptotic signaling pathways and probe into the role of programmed necroptotic cell demise in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract
The anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) plays an important role in breast cancer cell survival and chemoresistance. We have previously shown that knockdown of the 40S ribosomal protein S6 kinase-2 (S6K2), which acts downstream of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), enhanced breast cancer cell death by apoptotic stimuli. The increase in cell death by S6K2 depletion was partly due to inactivation of Akt. In the present study, we investigated if S6K2 regulates Mcl-1, which acts downstream of Akt. Silencing of S6K2 but not S6K1 in T47D cells decreased Mcl-1 level, and potentiated apoptosis induced by TRAIL and doxorubicin. Knockdown of S6K2 also decreased the level of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xl. Depletion of the tumor suppressor protein PDCD4 (programmed cell death 4), which regulates translation of several anti-apoptotic proteins, reversed downregulation of Bcl-xl but not Mcl-1 and failed to reverse the effect of S6K2 knockdown on potentiation of doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Downregulation of Mcl-1 by S6K2 knockdown was partly restored by the proteasome inhibitor MG132. Overexpression of catalytically-active Akt or knockdown of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3)-β, a substrate for Akt, had little effect on Mcl-1 downregulation caused by S6K2 deficiency. Silencing of S6K2 increased the level of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and knockdown of JNK1 increased basal Mcl-1 level and partly reversed the effect of S6K2 knockdown on Mcl-1 downregulation. JNK1 knockdown also had a modest effect in attenuating the increase in doxorubicin-induced apoptosis caused by S6K2 deficiency. These results suggest that S6K2 regulates apoptosis via multiple mechanisms, and involves both Akt and JNK.

Abstract
The γ-secretase protease and associated regulated intramembrane proteolysis play an important role in controlling receptor-mediated intracellular signaling events, which have a central role in Alzheimer disease, cancer progression, and immune surveillance. An increasing number of γ-secretase substrates have a role in cytokine signaling, including the IL-6 receptor, IL-1 receptor type I, and IL-1 receptor type II. In this study, we show that following TNF-converting enzyme-mediated ectodomain shedding of TNF type I receptor (TNFR1), the membrane-bound TNFR1 C-terminal fragment is subsequently cleaved by γ-secretase to generate a cytosolic TNFR1 intracellular domain. We also show that clathrin-mediated internalization of TNFR1 C-terminal fragment is a prerequisite for efficient γ-secretase cleavage of TNFR1. Furthermore, using in vitro and in vivo model systems, we show that in the absence of presenilin expression and γ-secretase activity, TNF-mediated JNK activation was prevented, assembly of the TNFR1 pro-apoptotic complex II was reduced, and TNF-induced apoptosis was inhibited. These observations demonstrate that TNFR1 is a γ-secretase substrate and suggest that γ-secretase cleavage of TNFR1 represents a new layer of regulation that links the presenilins and the γ-secretase protease to pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling.

Abstract
NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) and cylindromatosis protein (CYLD) are intracellular proteins that regulate the NF-κB signaling pathway. Although mice with either CYLD deficiency or an alteration in the zinc finger domain of NEMO (K392R) are born healthy, we found that the combination of these two gene defects in double mutant (DM) mice is early embryonic lethal but can be rescued by the absence of TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1). Notably, NEMO was not recruited into the TNFR1 complex of DM cells, and consequently NF-κB induction by TNF was severely impaired and DM cells were sensitized to TNF-induced cell death. Interestingly, the TNF signaling defects can be fully rescued by reconstitution of DM cells with CYLD lacking ubiquitin hydrolase activity but not with CYLD mutated in TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) or NEMO binding sites. Therefore, our data demonstrate an unexpected non-catalytic function for CYLD as an adapter protein between TRAF2 and the NEMO zinc finger that is important for TNF-induced NF-κB signaling during embryogenesis.

Abstract
The signaling pathway downstream of TNF receptor (TNFR) is involved in the induction of a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, and apoptosis. TNFR-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is a key adaptor molecule in TNFR signaling complexes that promotes downstream signaling cascades, such as nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. TRAF-interacting protein (TRIP) is a known cellular binding partner of TRAF2 and inhibits TNF-induced NF-κB activation. Recent findings that TRIP plays a multifunctional role in antiviral response, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and embryonic development have increased our interest in exploring how TRIP can affect the TNFR-signaling pathway on a molecular level. In our current study, we demonstrated that TRIP is negatively involved in the TNF-induced inflammatory response through the down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokine production. Here, we demonstrated that the TRAF2-TRIP interaction inhibits Lys(63)-linked TRAF2 ubiquitination by inhibiting TRAF2 E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase activity. The TRAF2-TRIP interaction inhibited the binding of sphingosine 1-phosphate, which is a cofactor of TRAF2 E3 Ub ligase, to the TRAF2 RING domain. Finally, we demonstrated that TRIP functions as a negative regulator of proinflammatory cytokine production by inhibiting TNF-induced NF-κB activation. These results indicate that TRIP is an important cellular regulator of the TNF-induced inflammatory response.

Abstract
Cell death plays an important role in the regulation of inflammation and may be the result of inflammation. The maintenance of tissue homeostasis necessitates both the recognition and removal of invading microbial pathogens as well as the clearance of dying cells. In the past few decades, emerging knowledge on cell death and inflammation has enriched our molecular understanding of the signaling pathways that mediate various programs of cell death and multiple types of inflammatory responses. This review provides an overview of the major types of cell death related to inflammation. Modification of cell death pathways is likely to be a logical therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) family of transcription factors plays critical roles in inflammatory responses and host defense; however, uncontrolled NF-κB activation can be deleterious by promoting autoimmune diseases and cancers. Lysine K63 (K63)-linked polyubiquitination has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism in NF-κB signaling by regulating dynamic protein-protein interactions that trigger NF-κB signaling. RIP1 and TRAF6 serve as key substrates of K63-linked polyubiquitin chains in tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) pathways respectively as a mechanism to recruit TAK1 and IKK kinases by associated ubiquitin-binding adaptor molecules. Activation of IKKβ by TAK1 induces IκBα phosphorylation, degradation, and downstream NF-κB activation. The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 maintains transient NF-κB activation by opposing the K63-linked polyubiquitination of RIP1 and TRAF6. A20 inducibly interacts with the adaptor molecule TAX1BP1 and the E3 ligases Itch and RNF11 to form an A20 ubiquitin-editing enzyme complex. Notably, loss-of-function somatic mutations or polymorphisms in human A20 are associated with B-cell lymphomas or a variety of autoimmune diseases as a result of dysregulated NF-κB activation. In this chapter, we summarize the protocols routinely used in our laboratories to examine ubiquitination and NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Linear Ubiquitin chain Assembly Complex (LUBAC) is an E3 ligase complex that generates linear ubiquitin chains and is important for tumour necrosis factor (TNF) signaling activation. Mice lacking Sharpin, a critical subunit of LUBAC, spontaneously develop inflammatory lesions in the skin and other organs. Here we show that TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1)-associated death domain (TRADD)-dependent TNFR1 signaling in epidermal keratinocytes drives skin inflammation in Sharpin-deficient mice. Epidermis-restricted ablation of Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) combined with receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) deficiency fully prevented skin inflammation, while single RIPK3 deficiency only delayed and partly ameliorated lesion development in Sharpin-deficient mice, showing that inflammation is primarily driven by TRADD- and FADD-dependent keratinocyte apoptosis while necroptosis plays a minor role. At the cellular level, Sharpin deficiency sensitized primary murine keratinocytes, human keratinocytes, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts to TNF-induced apoptosis. Depletion of FADD or TRADD in Sharpin-deficient HaCaT cells suppressed TNF-induced apoptosis, indicating the importance of FADD and TRADD in Sharpin-dependent anti-apoptosis signaling in keratinocytes. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.03422.001 In response to an injury or an infection, areas of the body can become inflamed as the immune system attempts to repair the damage and/or destroy any microbes or toxins that have entered the body. At the level of individual cells inflammation can involve cells being programmed to die in one of two ways: apoptosis and necroptosis. Apoptosis is a highly controlled process during which the contents of the cell are safely destroyed in order to prevent damage to surrounding cells. Necroptosis, on the other hand, is not controlled: the cell bursts and releases its contents into the surroundings. Inflammation is activated by a protein called TNF, which is controlled by a complex that includes a protein called Sharpin. Mice that lack the Sharpin protein develop inflammation on the skin and other organs, even in the absence of injury or infection. However, it is not clear how the Sharpin protein controls TNF to prevent inflammation. Kumari et al. have found that inflammation in mice lacking Sharpin depends on TNF interacting with another protein called TRADD. The experiments also show that the inflammation is mainly driven by apoptosis, with necroptosis having only a minor role. Further experiments carried out in mammal cells showed that TRADD and another protein (called FADD) work with Sharpin to prevent apoptosis. At the molecular level, Sharpin is known to induce a special type of protein modification (called linear ubiquitination) with two partner proteins, so the next challenge is to work out exactly how Sharpin uses this process to prevent apoptosis.

Abstract
The proinflammatory cytokine Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α is implicated in a variety of skeletal muscle pathologies. Here, we have investigated how in vitro cotreatment of skeletal muscle C2C12 cells with β-agonists modulates the TNF-α-induced inflammatory program. We observed that C2C12 myotubes express functional TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1) and β2-adrenoreceptors (β2-ARs). TNF-α activated the canonical Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs), culminating in potent induction of NF-κB-dependent proinflammatory genes. Cotreatment with the β-agonist isoproterenol potentiated the expression of inflammatory mediators, including Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and several chemokines. The enhanced production of chemotactic factors upon TNF-α/isoproterenol cotreatment was also suggested by the results from migrational analysis. Whereas we could not explain our observations by cytoplasmic crosstalk, we found that TNF-R1-and β2-AR-induced signalling cascades cooperate in the nucleus. Using the IL-6 promoter as a model, we demonstrated that TNF-α/isoproterenol cotreatment provoked phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 10, concomitant with enhanced promoter accessibility and recruitment of the NF-κB p65 subunit, cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), CREB-binding protein (CBP) and RNA polymerase II. In summary, we show that β-agonists potentiate TNF-α action, via nuclear crosstalk, that promotes chromatin relaxation at selected gene promoters. Our data warrant further study into the mode of action of β-agonists and urge for caution in their use as therapeutic agents for muscular disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glutamate homeostasis and microglia activation play an important role in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. We designed this investigation to examine whether ultra-low dose naloxone administered alone or in combination with morphine could alter the concentration of the excitatory amino acids (EAAs) glutamate and aspartate, as well as the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and its receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) in the spinal cord dorsal horn of rats with partial sciatic nerve transection (PST). METHODS Male Wistar rats underwent intrathecal catheter implantation for drug delivery and were divided in 7 groups: sham-operated + saline (sham), PST + saline (S), PST + 15 ng naloxone (n), PST + 15 µg naloxone (N), PST + 10 µg morphine (M), PST + 15 ng naloxone + 10 µg morphine (Mn), PST + 15 µg naloxone + 10 µg morphine (MN). Thermal withdrawal latency and mechanical withdrawal threshold, TNF-α and TNFR expression in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia, and EAAs glutamate and aspartate concentration in cerebrospinal fluid dialysates were measured. RESULTS Ten days after PST, rats developed hyperalgesia (P < 0.0001) and allodynia (P < 0.0001), and increased TNF-α (P < 0.0001) and TNFR1 expression (P = 0.0009) were measured in the ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn. The antihyperalgesic and antiallodynic effects of morphine (10 μg) were abolished by high-dose naloxone (15 μg; P = 0.0031) but enhanced by ultra-low dose naloxone (15 ng; P = 0.0015), and this was associated with a reduction of TNF-α (P < 0.0001) and TNFR1 (P = 0.0009) expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn and EAAs concentration (glutamate: P = 0.0001; aspartate: P = 0.004) in cerebrospinal fluid dialysate. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) or Student t test with Bonferroni correction were used for statistical analysis. CONCLUSIONS Ultra-low dose naloxone enhances the antihyperalgesia and antiallodynia effects of morphine in PST rats, possibly by reducing TNF-α and TNFR1 expression, and EAAs concentrations in the spinal dorsal horn. Ultra-low dose naloxone may be a useful adjuvant for increasing the analgesic effect of morphine in neuropathic pain conditions.

Abstract
SUMO is a protein posttranslational modifier. SUMO cycle components are believed to be conserved in all eukaryotes. Proteomic analyses have lead to the identification a wealth of SUMO targets that are involved in almost every cellular function in eukaryotes. In this article, we describe the characterization of SUMO Cycle components in Hydra, a Cnidarian with an ability to regenerate body parts. In cells, the translated SUMO polypeptide cannot conjugate to a substrate protein unless the C-terminal tail is cleaved, exposing the di-Glycine motif. This critical task is done by SUMO proteases that in addition to SUMO maturation are also involved in deconjugating SUMO from its substrate. We describe the identification, bioinformatics analysis, cloning, and biochemical characterization of Hydra SUMO cycle components, with a focus on SUMO and SUMO proteases. We demonstrate that the ability of SUMO proteases to process immature SUMO is conserved from Hydra to flies. A transgenic Hydra, expressing a SUMO-GFP fusion protein under a constitutive actin promoter, is generated in an attempt to monitor the SUMO Cycle in vivo as also to purify and identify SUMO targets in Hydra.

Abstract
Mutations in presenilins (PS1 and PS2) have been linked to the pathogenesis of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease. Presenilins function as the catalytic component of the γ-secretase protease complexes responsible for the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), subsequent generation of amyloid-β and associated amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Biochemical and genetic studies have revealed that through interactions with several proteins, the presenilins are functionally involved in a range of cellular processes, including the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis. Our group has previously reported an association between presenilins and members of the tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) family of proteins. In this study we further investigated the association between TRAF6, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the presenilins. Here we show that the presenilin full-length holoproteins are novel substrates of TRAF6-mediated Lysine-63-linked ubiquitination. Interestingly, co-expression of catalytically active TRAF6 with the presenilins leads to decreased turnover of PS1 full-length holoprotein accompanying elevated presenilin protein levels. Similarly, while overexpression of TRAF6 increases presenilin holoprotein levels and ubiquitination in HEK293 cells, expression of catalytically deficient TRAF6 or TRAF6-deficiency leads to a reduction in presenilin protein levels and reduced PS1 ubiquitination. We also demonstrate that TRAF6 induces PS1 gene transcription in a JNK-dependent manner. Notably, we reveal that TRAF6-mediated ubiquitination of presenilin does not affect γ-secretase enzyme activity, but may regulate presenilin function in calcium signalling. Taken together, we propose that presenilins are novel substrates for TRAF6-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination and that ubiquitination of presenilins by TRAF6 increases presenilin holoprotein levels and in conditions in which TRAF6 ubiquitination of presenilins is reduced results in reduction of calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Estrogen receptor-hijacking by dioxin-like 3,3'4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) in salmon hepatocytes involves both receptor activation and receptor protein stability. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2012; 124-125:197-208.

Abstract
Several hypotheses have been proposed explaining the interactions between estrogen receptor (ER) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathways in both fish and mammalian systems. In both piscine and mammalian systems, ligand-activated AhR may recruit basal ER (i.e. hijack) in the absence of ER ligand and bind to the estrogen responsive elements (ERE) to activate ER-responsive genes. We have evaluated, the roles of receptor activation and receptor-protein stability on dioxin-like [3,3'4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl: PCB 126] mediated ER-hijacking in a salmon in vitro system. Primary salmon hepatocytes were exposed to PCB126 (1, 10 and 50 nM) with or without an ER-antagonist (ICI), putative AhR inhibitor (3',4'-dimethoxyflavone; DMF) or protein synthesis inhibitor (cycloheximide; CHX). Hepatocytes were exposed for 6, 12 and 24h. The expression of genes and proteins involved in ER (ERα, ERβ and vitellogenin) and AhR (CYP1A1, AhR-repressor, AhR2-isotypes and cofactors) pathways were analysed using qPCR and immunochemical methods. PCB126 induced transcripts of ER and AhR signalling pathways that were variably influenced by protein synthesis and receptor inhibitors. CHX stimulated a coordinated recruitment of the proteasome complex, resulting in the ubiquitination and degradation of ER and AhR isoforms and downstream protein products. Interestingly, DMF produced differential effects on the AhR signalling pathway, in the presence or absence of PCB126. Overall, ER-hijacking by dioxin-like compounds and subsequent activation of ER responsive genes involves both receptor activation/deactivation and receptor-protein degradation/destabilization (stability). Given that the Per-AhR/Arnt-Sim homology sequence of transcription factors usually associate with each other to form heterodimers and bind the XRE or ERE sequences in the promoter regions of target genes to regulate their expression, the complete mechanism of interactions between dioxin-like and estrogenic compounds in vertebrate systems may require additional characterization.

Abstract
The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway is a critical regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Noncanonical K63-linked polyubiquitination plays a key regulatory role in NF-κB signaling pathways by functioning as a scaffold to recruit kinase complexes containing ubiquitin-binding domains. Ubiquitination is balanced by deubiquitinases that cleave polyubiquitin chains and oppose the function of E3 ubiquitin ligases. Deubiquitinases therefore play an important role in the termination of NF-κB signaling and the resolution of inflammation. In this review, we focus on NF-κB regulation by deubiquitinases with an emphasis on A20 and CYLD. Deubiquitinases and the ubiquitin/proteasome components that regulate NF-κB may serve as novel therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Abstract
Protein kinases are important regulators of intracellular signal transduction pathways and play critical roles in diverse cellular processes. TAK1, a member of the MAPKKK family, is essential for TNFα-induced NF-κB activation. Phosphorylation and Lys(63)-linked polyubiquitination (polyUb) of TAK1 are critical for its activation. However, whether TAK1 is regulated by polyubiquitination-mediated protein degradation after its activation remains unknown. Here we report that TNFα induces TAK1 Lys(48) linked polyubiquitination and degradation at the later time course. Furthermore, we provide direct evidence that TAK1 is modified by Lys(48)-linked polyubiquitination at lysine-72 by mass spectrometry. A K72R point mutation on TAK1 abolishes TAK1 Lys(48)-linked polyubiquitination and enhances TAK1/TAB1 co-overexpression-induced NF-κB activation. As expected, TAK1 K72R mutation inhibits TNFα-induced Lys(48)-linked TAK1 polyubiquitination and degradation. TAK1 K72R mutant prolongs TNFα-induced NF-κB activation and enhances TNFα-induced IL-6 gene expression. Our findings demonstrate that TNFα induces Lys(48)-linked polyubiquitination of TAK1 at lysine-72 and this polyubiquitination-mediated TAK1 degradation plays a critical role in the downregulation of TNFα-induced NF-κB activation.

Abstract
Antigen primed T lymphocytes need to expand and persist to promote adaptive immunity. The growth and survival signals that control this are in large part provided by the NF-κB pathway in activated or effector/memory T cells. Although several membrane receptors impact NF-κB activation, signaling from OX40 (CD134, TNFRSF4), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, has proven to be important for T cell immunity and a strong contributor to NF-κB activity. PKCθ directs the T cell receptor (TCR) and CD28-dependent assembly of a CBM complex (CARMA1, BCL10, and MALT1) for efficient activation of NF-κB, raising the question of whether other membrane bound receptors that activate NF-κB also require this PKCθ-CBM axis to control TCR-independent T cell activity. We discuss here our recent data demonstrating that after ligation by OX40L (CD252, TNFSF4) expressed on antigen-presenting cells, OX40 translocates into detergent-insoluble membrane lipid microdomains (DIM or lipid rafts) in T cells irrespective of TCR signals, and assembles into a signaling complex containing PKCθ, together with TRAF2, RIP1, the CBM complex, and the IKKα/β/Γ complex. PKCθ is required for optimal NF-κB activation mediated by OX40 and thus works as an essential component of this OX40 signalosome. We also discuss the likelihood that other TNFR superfamily molecules might complex with PKCθ in T cells, and whether PKC isoforms may be critical to the function of TNFR molecules in general.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family members are essential for the development and proper functioning of the immune system. TNF receptor (TNFR) signaling is mediated through the assembly of protein signaling complexes that activate the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. The cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (c-IAP) proteins c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 are E3 ubiquitin ligases that are recruited to TNFR signaling complexes through their constitutive association with the adaptor protein TNFR-associated factor 2 (TRAF2). We demonstrated that c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 were required for canonical activation of NF-κB and MAPK by members of the TNFR family. c-IAPs were required for the recruitment of inhibitor of κB kinase β (IKKβ), the IKK regulatory subunit NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO), and RBCK1/Hoil1-interacting protein (HOIP) to TNFR signaling complexes and the induction of gene expression by TNF family members. In contrast, TNFRs that stimulated the noncanonical NF-κB pathway triggered translocation of c-IAPs, TRAF2, and TRAF3 from the cytosol to membrane fractions, which led to their proteasomal and lysosomal degradation. Finally, we established that signaling by B cell-activating factor receptor 3 induced the cytosolic depletion of TRAF3, which enabled noncanonical NF-κB activation. These results define c-IAP proteins as critical regulators of the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways by members of the TNFR superfamily.

Abstract
The NF-κB transcription factor is a central mediator of inflammatory and innate immune signaling pathways. Activation of NF-κB is achieved by K63-linked polyubiquitination of key signaling molecules which recruit kinase complexes that in turn activate the IκB kinase (IKK). Ubiquitination is a highly dynamic process and is balanced by deubiquitinases that cleave polyubiquitin chains and terminate downstream signaling events. The A20 deubiquitinase is a critical negative regulator of NF-κB and inflammation, since A20-deficient mice develop uncontrolled and spontaneous multi-organ inflammation. Furthermore, specific polymorphisms in the A20 genomic locus predispose humans to autoimmune disease. Recent studies also indicate that A20 is an important tumor suppressor that is inactivated in B-cell lymphomas. Therefore, targeting A20 may form the basis of novel therapies for autoimmune disease and lymphomas.

Abstract
Microglia are activated in response to a number of different pathological states within the CNS including injury, ischemia, and infection. Microglial activation results in their production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. While release of these factors is typically intended to prevent further damage to CNS tissue, they may also be toxic to neurons and other glial cells. Mounting evidence indicates that chronic microglial activation may also contribute to the development and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. Unfortunately, determining the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in these disorders has been complicated by their dual roles in neuroprotection and neurodegeneration. The purpose of this review is to summarize current understanding of the involvement of cytokines in neurodegenerative disorders and their potential signaling mechanisms in this context. Taken together, recent findings suggest that microglial activation and pro-inflammatory cytokines merit interest as targets in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is one of the tightest blood-tissue barriers in the mammalian body. It divides the seminiferous epithelium into the basal and the apical (adluminal) compartments. Meiosis I and II, spermiogenesis, and spermiation all take place in a specialized microenvironment behind the BTB in the apical compartment, but spermatogonial renewal and differentiation and cell cycle progression up to the preleptotene spermatocyte stage take place outside of the BTB in the basal compartment of the epithelium. However, the BTB is not a static ultrastructure. Instead, it undergoes extensive restructuring during the seminiferous epithelial cycle of spermatogenesis at stage VIII to allow the transit of preleptotene spermatocytes at the BTB. Yet the immunological barrier conferred by the BTB cannot be compromised, even transiently, during the epithelial cycle to avoid the production of antibodies against meiotic and postmeiotic germ cells. Studies have demonstrated that some unlikely partners, namely adhesion protein complexes (e.g., occludin-ZO-1, N-cadherin-β-catenin, claudin-5-ZO-1), steroids (e.g., testosterone, estradiol-17β), nonreceptor protein kinases (e.g., focal adhesion kinase, c-Src, c-Yes), polarity proteins (e.g., PAR6, Cdc42, 14-3-3), endocytic vesicle proteins (e.g., clathrin, caveolin, dynamin 2), and actin regulatory proteins (e.g., Eps8, Arp2/3 complex), are working together, apparently under the overall influence of cytokines (e.g., transforming growth factor-β3, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1α). In short, a "new" BTB is created behind spermatocytes in transit while the "old" BTB above transiting cells undergoes timely degeneration, so that the immunological barrier can be maintained while spermatocytes are traversing the BTB. We also discuss recent findings regarding the molecular mechanisms by which environmental toxicants (e.g., cadmium, bisphenol A) induce testicular injury via their initial actions at the BTB to elicit subsequent damage to germ-cell adhesion, thereby leading to germ-cell loss, reduced sperm count, and male infertility or subfertility. Moreover, we also critically evaluate findings in the field regarding studies on drug transporters in the testis and discuss how these influx and efflux pumps regulate the entry of potential nonhormonal male contraceptives to the apical compartment to exert their effects. Collectively, these findings illustrate multiple potential targets are present at the BTB for innovative contraceptive development and for better delivery of drugs to alleviate toxicant-induced reproductive dysfunction in men.

Abstract
The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) is a key nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway component that produces linear polyubiquitin chains. The HOIL-1L subunit of LUBAC has been shown to bind linear chains; however, detailed structural and functional analyses on the binding between LUBAC and linear chains have not been performed. In this study, we found that the Npl4 zinc finger (NZF) domain of HOIL-1L specifically binds linear polyubiquitin chains and determined the crystal structure of the HOIL-1L NZF domain in complex with linear diubiquitin at 1.7-Å resolution. The HOIL-1L NZF domain consists of a zinc-coordinating "NZF core" region and an additional α-helical "NZF tail" region. The HOIL-1L NZF core binds both the canonical Ile44-centered hydrophobic surface on the distal ubiquitin and a Phe4-centered hydrophobic patch on the proximal ubiquitin, representing a mechanism for the specific recognition of linear chains. The NZF tail binds the proximal ubiquitin to enhance the binding affinity. These recognition mechanisms were supported by the accompanying in vitro and in vivo structure-based mutagenesis experiments.

Abstract
Necrosis plays an important role in multiple physiological and pathological processes. Recently, a relatively new form of necrosis has been characterized as "necroptosis". Morphologically, necroptosis exhibits the features of necrosis; however, necroptosis exhibits a unique signaling pathway that requires the involvement of receptor interaction protein kinase 1 and 3 (RIP1 and RIP3) and can be specifically inhibited by necrostatins. Necroptosis has been found to contribute to the regulation of immune system, cancer development as well as cellular responses to multiple stresses. In this review, we will summarize the signaling pathway, biological effects and pathological significance of this specific form of programmed cell death.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) signaling pathways play important roles during tumorigenesis and inflammation. Ubiquitin-dependent processes are central to the regulation of TNF-α and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling. We performed a targeted siRNA screen for ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) and identified USP2 as a modulator of TNF-α-induced NF-κB signaling. We showed that USP2 is required for the phosphorylation of IκB, nuclear translocation of NF-κB and expression of NF-κB-dependent target genes and IL-8 secretion. Our study also provides evidence for isoform-specific functions of USP2. The immunohistochemical analysis of breast carcinomas revealed that USP2 expression is frequently downregulated. Together, our results implicate USP2 as a novel positive regulator of TNF-α-induced NF-κB signaling and show that its expression is altered in tumor cells.

Abstract
The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins have emerged over the last decade as important targets for therapeutic intervention in human malignancies. Overexpression of IAPs has been implicated in cell survival and resistance against stress-induced apoptosis brought on by radiation and/or chemotherapeutics (currently the standard-of-care in a variety of different cancer diseases). In addition, evasion from death receptor-mediated apoptosis and regulation of NF-κB pathways and cell division have also been associated with IAP proteins. Efforts to target IAP proteins in tumors have focused mainly on designing small molecules that mimic the IAP-binding motif of the endogenous IAP antagonist, second mitochondrial activator of caspases. In addition, several other IAP-targeting strategies, including antisense oligonucleotides and transcriptional repression, have also been initiated, with the hope of providing therapeutic benefit to cancer patients.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily member TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TNFSF12, CD255) (TWEAK) can stimulate apoptosis in certain cancer cells. Previous studies suggest that TWEAK activates cell death indirectly, by inducing TNFα-mediated autocrine signals. However, the underlying death-signaling mechanism has not been directly defined. Consistent with earlier work, TWEAK assembled a proximal signaling complex containing its cognate receptor FN14, the adaptor TRAF2, and cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP1). Neither the death domain adaptor Fas-associated death domain nor the apoptosis-initiating protease caspase-8 associated with this primary complex. Rather, TWEAK induced TNFα secretion and TNF receptor 1-dependent assembly of a death-signaling complex containing receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), FADD, and caspase-8. Knockdown of RIP1 by siRNA prevented TWEAK-induced association of FADD with caspase-8 but not formation of the FN14-TRAF2-cIAP1 complex and inhibited apoptosis activation. Depletion of the RIP1 E3 ubiquitin ligase cIAP1 enhanced assembly of the RIP1-FADD-caspase-8 complex and augmented cell death. Conversely, knockdown of the RIP1 deubiquitinase CYLD inhibited these functions. Depletion of FADD, caspase-8, BID, or BAX and BAK but not RIP3 attenuated TWEAK-induced cell death. Pharmacologic inhibition of the NF-κB pathway or siRNA knockdown of RelA attenuated TWEAK induction of TNFα and association of RIP1 with FADD and caspase-8. These results suggest that TWEAK triggers apoptosis by promoting assembly of a RIP1-FADD-caspse-8 complex via autocrine TNFα-TNFR1 signaling. The proapoptotic activity of TWEAK is modulated by cIAP1 and CYLD and engages both the extrinsic and intrinsic signaling pathways.

Abstract
SHARPIN is a ubiquitin-binding and ubiquitin-like-domain-containing protein which, when mutated in mice, results in immune system disorders and multi-organ inflammation. Here we report that SHARPIN functions as a novel component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and that the absence of SHARPIN causes dysregulation of NF-κB and apoptotic signalling pathways, explaining the severe phenotypes displayed by chronic proliferative dermatitis (cpdm) in SHARPIN-deficient mice. Upon binding to the LUBAC subunit HOIP (also known as RNF31), SHARPIN stimulates the formation of linear ubiquitin chains in vitro and in vivo. Coexpression of SHARPIN and HOIP promotes linear ubiquitination of NEMO (also known as IKBKG), an adaptor of the IκB kinases (IKKs) and subsequent activation of NF-κB signalling, whereas SHARPIN deficiency in mice causes an impaired activation of the IKK complex and NF-κB in B cells, macrophages and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). This effect is further enhanced upon concurrent downregulation of HOIL-1L (also known as RBCK1), another HOIP-binding component of LUBAC. In addition, SHARPIN deficiency leads to rapid cell death upon tumour-necrosis factor α (TNF-α) stimulation via FADD- and caspase-8-dependent pathways. SHARPIN thus activates NF-κB and inhibits apoptosis via distinct pathways in vivo.
