JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 334:118579. [PMID: 39025165 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Dingxian Pill (DXP), a famous traditional Chinese medicine prescription, and has been widely proven to have positive therapeutic effects on "Xianzheng" (the name of epilepsy in ancient China). However, the anti-epileptic molecular mechanisms of DXP are not yet fully understood and remain to be further investigated. AIM OF THE STUDY To elucidate the molecular mechanism of DXP's improvement in epileptic neuronal loss, damage and apoptosis by regulating TNF-α/TNFR1 signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty Kunming mice were randomly divided in 6 groups: control group (equal volume of normal saline), model group (180 mg kg-1 pilocarpine hydrochloride - used to establish the epilepsy animal model), carbamazepine group (30 mg kg-1), and low, medium, and high-dose Dingxian Pill groups (4.08, 8.16, and 16.32 g kg-1, respectively - oral administration once daily for 2 weeks). Successful establishment of the epileptic mouse model was monitored with electroencephalography. Pathological changes in hippocampal tissue were analyzed with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Hippocampal neuronal apoptosis was analyzed with TUNEL staining. TNF-α, TNFR1, TRADD, FADD, and caspase-8 mRNA and protein expression levels in hippocampal tissue were analyzed with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot, respectively. Cleaved caspase-8 protein levels in hippocampal tissue were measured with immunohistochemistry and Western blot. RESULTS Compared to control, the model group showed an increase in continuous epileptic discharge waves on EEG, a damaged hippocampal neuron morphological structure, increased hippocampal neuronal apoptosis, and significantly increased TNF-α, TNFR1, TRADD, FADD, and caspase-8 mRNA and protein levels, and increased caspase-8 cleavage (P < 0.05). Compared to the model group, the carbamazepine group as well as the low-, medium-, and high-dose Dingxian Pill groups showed decreased epileptic discharges on EEG, an obvious hippocampal neuron morphological structure restoration, varying degrees of attenuated hippocampal neuronal apoptosis, and significantly decreased TNF-α, TNFR1, TRADD, FADD, and caspase-8 mRNA and protein levels as well as decreased caspase-8 cleavage (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Dingxian Pill exerts an anti-epileptic effect through inhibition of TNF-α/TNFR1 signaling pathway-mediated apoptosis in hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for initiating the acquired immune response to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has evolved strategies to inhibit activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages via its serine/threonine protein kinase, protein kinase F (PknF). It is not known whether this pathway is conserved in DCs. In this study, we show that the pknF deletion mutant of M. tuberculosis (MtbΔpknF) compared with wild-type M. tuberculosis-infected cells induces increased production of IL-1β and increased pyroptosis in murine bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs). As shown for murine macrophages, the enhanced production of IL-1β postinfection of BMDCs with MtbΔpknF is dependent on NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1/11. In contrast to macrophages, we show that MtbΔpknF mediates RIPK3/caspase-8-dependent IL-1β production in BMDCs. Consistently, infection with MtbΔpknF results in increased activation of caspase-1 and caspase-8 in BMDCs. When compared with M. tuberculosis-infected cells, the IL-6 production by MtbΔpknF-infected cells was unchanged, indicating that the mutant does not affect the priming phase of inflammasome activation. In contrast, the activation phase was impacted because the MtbΔpknF-induced inflammasome activation in BMDCs depended on potassium efflux, chloride efflux, reactive oxygen species generation, and calcium influx. In conclusion, PknF is important for M. tuberculosis to evade NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 and RIPK3/caspase-8 pathways in BMDCs.

Abstract
Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense against disease, and regulated cell death is a central component of this response that balances pathogen clearance and inflammation. Cell death pathways are generally categorized as non-lytic and lytic. While non-lytic apoptosis has been extensively studied in health and disease, lytic cell death pathways are also increasingly implicated in infectious and inflammatory diseases and cancers. Staurosporine (STS) is a well-known inducer of non-lytic apoptosis. However, in this study, we observed that STS also induces lytic cell death at later timepoints. Using biochemical assessments with genetic knockouts, pharmacological inhibitors, and gene silencing, we identified that STS triggered PANoptosis via the caspase-8/RIPK3 axis, which was mediated by RIPK1. PANoptosis is a lytic, innate immune cell death pathway initiated by innate immune sensors and driven by caspases and RIPKs through PANoptosome complexes. Deletion of caspase-8 and RIPK3, core components of the PANoptosome complex, protected against STS-induced lytic cell death. Overall, our study identifies STS as a time-dependent inducer of lytic cell death, PANoptosis. These findings emphasize the importance of understanding trigger- and time-specific activation of distinct cell death pathways to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity and cell death for clinical translation.

Abstract
Caspases are enzymes with protease activity. Despite being known for more than three decades, caspase investigation still yields surprising and fascinating information. Initially associated with cell death and inflammation, their functions have gradually been revealed to extend beyond, targeting pathways such as cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. These processes are also associated with disease mechanisms, positioning caspases as potential targets for numerous pathologies including inflammatory, neurological, metabolic, or oncological conditions. While in vitro studies play a crucial role in elucidating molecular pathways, they lack the context of the body's complexity. Therefore, laboratory animals are an indispensable part of successfully understanding and applying caspase networks. This paper aims to summarize and discuss recent knowledge, understanding, and challenges in caspase knock-out mice.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells of hematopoietic origin, with a pivotal role in bone development and remodeling. Failure in osteoclast differentiation and activation leads to various bone disorders; thus, attention has focused on a search of molecules involved in osteoclast regulatory pathways. Caspase-8 appears to be an interesting candidate for further exploration, due to its potential function in bone development and homeostasis. Mouse bone marrow cells were differentiated into osteoclasts by RANKL stimulation. Increased activation of caspase-8 and its downstream executioner caspases (caspase-3 and caspase-6) was found during osteoclastogenesis. Subsequent inhibition of caspase-8, caspase-3, or caspase-6, respectively, during osteoclast differentiation showed distinct changes in the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells and reduced expression of osteoclast markers including Acp5, Ctsk, Dcstamp, and Mmp9. Analysis of bone matrix resorption confirmed significantly reduced osteoclast function after caspase inhibition. The results clearly showed the role of caspases in the proper development of osteoclasts and contributed new knowledge about non-apoptotic function of caspases.

Abstract
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacteria that causes the global zoonotic disease Q Fever. Treatment options for chronic infection are limited, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies requires a greater understanding of how C. burnetii interacts with immune signaling. Cell death responses are known to be manipulated by C. burnetii, but the role of caspase-8, a central regulator of multiple cell death pathways, has not been investigated. In this research, we studied bacterial manipulation of caspase-8 signaling and the significance of caspase-8 to C. burnetii infection, examining bacterial replication, cell death induction, and cytokine signaling. We measured caspase, RIPK, and MLKL activation in C. burnetii-infected tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)/cycloheximide-treated THP-1 macrophage-like cells and TNFα/ZVAD-treated L929 cells to assess apoptosis and necroptosis signaling. Additionally, we measured C. burnetii replication, cell death, and TNFα induction over 12 days in RIPK1-kinase-dead, RIPK3-kinase-dead, or RIPK3-kinase-dead-caspase-8-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to understand the significance of caspase-8 and RIPK1/3 during infection. We found that caspase-8 is inhibited by C. burnetii, coinciding with inhibition of apoptosis and increased susceptibility to necroptosis. Furthermore, C. burnetii replication was increased in BMDMs lacking caspase-8, but not in those lacking RIPK1/3 kinase activity, corresponding with decreased TNFα production and reduced cell death. As TNFα is associated with the control of C. burnetii, this lack of a TNFα response may allow for the unchecked bacterial growth we saw in caspase-8-/- BMDMs. This research identifies and explores caspase-8 as a key regulator of C. burnetii infection, opening novel therapeutic doors.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) plays a crucial role in controlling inflammation and cell death. Its function is tightly controlled through post-translational modifications, enabling its dynamic switch between promoting cell survival and triggering cell death. Phosphorylation of RIPK1 at various sites serves as a critical mechanism for regulating its activity, exerting either activating or inhibitory effects. Perturbations in RIPK1 phosphorylation status have profound implications for the development of severe inflammatory diseases in humans. This review explores the intricate regulation of RIPK1 phosphorylation and dephosphorylation and highlights the potential of targeting RIPK1 phosphorylation as a promising therapeutic strategy for mitigating human diseases.

Abstract
Retinal diseases encompass various conditions associated with sight-threatening immune responses and are leading causes of blindness worldwide. These diseases include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and uveitis. Emerging evidence underscores the vital role of the innate immune response in retinal diseases, beyond the previously emphasized T-cell-driven processes of the adaptive immune system. In particular, pyroptosis, a newly discovered programmed cell death process involving inflammasome formation, has been implicated in the loss of membrane integrity and the release of inflammatory cytokines. Several disease-relevant animal models have provided evidence that the formation of inflammasomes and the induction of pyroptosis in innate immune cells contribute to inflammation in various retinal diseases. In this review article, we summarize current knowledge about the innate immune system and pyroptosis in retinal diseases. We also provide insights into translational targeting approaches, including novel drugs countering pyroptosis, to improve the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases.

Abstract
Perturbation of the apoptosis and necroptosis pathways critically influences embryogenesis. Receptor-associated protein kinase-1 (RIPK1) interacts with Fas-associated via death domain (FADD)-caspase-8-cellular Flice-like inhibitory protein long (cFLIPL) to regulate both extrinsic apoptosis and necroptosis. Here, we describe Ripk1-mutant animals (Ripk1R588E [RE]) in which the interaction between FADD and RIPK1 is disrupted, leading to embryonic lethality. This lethality is not prevented by further removal of the kinase activity of Ripk1 (Ripk1R588E K45A [REKA]). Both Ripk1RE and Ripk1REKA animals survive to adulthood upon ablation of Ripk3. While embryonic lethality of Ripk1RE mice is prevented by ablation of the necroptosis effector mixed lineage kinase-like (MLKL), animals succumb to inflammation after birth. In contrast, Mlkl ablation does not prevent the death of Ripk1REKA embryos, but animals reach adulthood when both MLKL and caspase-8 are removed. Ablation of the nucleic acid sensor Zbp1 largely prevents lethality in both Ripk1RE and Ripk1REKA embryos. Thus, the RIPK1-FADD interaction prevents Z-DNA binding protein-1 (ZBP1)-induced, RIPK3-caspase-8-mediated embryonic lethality, affected by the kinase activity of RIPK1.

Abstract
Background- Glaucoma is a complex multifactorial disease where apoptosis and inflammation represent two key pathogenic mechanisms. However, the relative contribution of apoptosis versus inflammation in axon degeneration and death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is not well understood. In glaucoma, caspase-8 is linked to RGC apoptosis, as well as glial activation and neuroinflammation. To uncouple these two pathways and determine the extent to which caspase-8-mediated inflammation and/or apoptosis contributes to the death of RGCs, we used the caspase-8 D387A mutant mouse (Casp8 DA/DA ) in which a point mutation in the auto-cleavage site blocks caspase-8-mediated apoptosis but does not block caspase-8-mediated inflammation. Methods- Intracameral injection of magnetic microbeads was used to elevate the intraocular pressure (IOP) in wild-type, Fas deficient Faslpr, and Casp8 DA/DA mice. IOP was monitored by rebound tonometry. Two weeks post microbead injection, retinas were collected for microglia activation analysis. Five weeks post microbead injection, visual acuity and RGC function were assessed by optometer reflex (OMR) and pattern electroretinogram (pERG), respectively. Retina and optic nerves were processed for RGC and axon quantification. Two- and five-weeks post microbead injection, expression of the necrosis marker, RIPK3, was assessed by qPCR. Results- Wild-type, Faslpr, and Casp8 DA/DA mice showed similar IOP elevation as compared to saline controls. A significant reduction in both visual acuity and pERG that correlated with a significant loss of RGCs and axons was observed in wild-type but not in Faslpr mice. The Casp8 DA/DA mice displayed a significant reduction in visual acuity and pERG amplitude and loss of RGCs and axons similar to that in wild-type mice. Immunostaining revealed equal numbers of activated microglia, double positive for P2ry12 and IB4, in the retinas from microbead-injected wild-type and Casp8 DA/DA mutant mice. qPCR analysis revealed no induction of RIPK3 in wild-type or Casp8 DA/DA mice at two- or five-weeks post microbead injection. Conclusions- Our results demonstrate that caspase-8-mediated extrinsic apoptosis is not involved in the death of RGCs in the microbead-induced mouse model of glaucoma implicating caspase-8-mediated inflammation, but not apoptosis, as the driving force in glaucoma progression. Taken together, these results identify the caspase-8-mediated inflammatory pathway as a potential target for neuroprotection in glaucoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a common health problem in the population. There are recent studies focusing on relationship between DDD and immunological factors. However, there is still a lack of data on the role of apoptosis in DDD pathophysiology. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Modic-type changes and the apoptosis in DDD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety adult male patients who presented with low back and/or radicular pain and were operated on due to lumbar disc herniation were included. Three groups were formed based on Modic type degeneration observed on magnetic resonance imaging. Specific parameters involved in the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis were assessed in excised disc materials using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. RESULTS All three groups formed according to Modic degeneration types were homogenous in all variances. Cytochrome-C was significantly decreased only in the Modic type-3 group, whereas Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Receptor-1, B-Cell Lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) Homologous Antagonist Killer-1, Direct Inhibitor of Apoptosis-Binding Protein with Low Pi, and Bcl-2 Associated X Apoptosis Regulator levels were significantly different in both Modic type-2 and -3 groups. However, BH3 interacting domain death agonist and Bcl-2 levels were similar across all groups. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this study suggests that Direct Inhibitor of Apoptosis-Binding Protein with Low Pi, cytochrome - c, Bcl-2 Associated X Apoptosis Regulator, Bcl-2 Homologous Antagonist Killer-1, and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Receptor-1proteins play important roles in the development and progression of DDD and are correlated with Modic types. Further studies are needed to explore the potential therapeutic role of inhibiting these apoptotic proteins in DDD.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are widely utilized in several domains, such as everyday life, societal manufacturing, and biomedical applications, which expand the potential for nanomaterials to penetrate biological barriers and interact with cells. Multiple studies have concentrated on the particular or improper utilization of nanomaterials, resulting in cellular death. The primary mode of cell death caused by nanotoxicity is programmable cell death, which includes apoptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. Based on our prior publications and latest research, mitochondria have a vital function in facilitating programmed cell death caused by nanomaterials, as well as initiating or transmitting death signal pathways associated with it. Therefore, this review takes mitochondria as the focal point to investigate the internal molecular mechanism of nanomaterial-induced programmed cell death, with the aim of identifying potential targets for prevention and treatment in related studies.

Caspase 8 deletion causes infection/inflammation-induced bone marrow failure and MDS-like disease in mice. Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:278.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of pre-leukemic hematopoietic disorders characterized by cytopenia in peripheral blood due to ineffective hematopoiesis and normo- or hypercellularity and morphologic dysplasia in bone marrow (BM). An inflammatory BM microenvironment and programmed cell death of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are thought to be the major causes of ineffective hematopoiesis in MDS. Pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis (collectively, PANoptosis) are observed in BM tissues of MDS patients, suggesting an important role of PANoptosis in MDS pathogenesis. Caspase 8 (Casp8) is a master regulator of PANoptosis, which is downregulated in HSPCs from most MDS patients and abnormally spliced in HSPCs from MDS patients with SRSF2 mutation. To study the role of PANoptosis in hematopoiesis, we generated inducible Casp8 knockout mice (Casp8-/-). Mx1-Cre-Casp8-/- mice died of BM failure within 10 days of polyI:C injections due to depletion of HSPCs. Rosa-ERT2Cre-Casp8-/- mice are healthy without significant changes in BM hematopoiesis within the first 1.5 months after Casp8 deletion. Such mice developed BM failure upon infection or low dose polyI:C/LPS injections due to the hypersensitivity of Casp8-/- HSPCs to infection or inflammation-induced necroptosis which can be prevented by Ripk3 deletion. However, impaired self-renewal capacity of Casp8-/- HSPCs cannot be rescued by Ripk3 deletion due to activation of Ripk1-Tbk1 signaling. Most importantly, mice transplanted with Casp8-/- BM cells developed MDS-like disease within 4 months of transplantation as demonstrated by anemia, thrombocytopenia and myelodysplasia. Our study suggests an essential role for a balance in Casp8, Ripk3-Mlkl and Ripk1-Tbk1 activities in the regulation of survival and self-renewal of HSPCs, the disruption of which induces inflammation and BM failure, resulting in MDS-like disease.

Abstract
Cell death mediated by genetically defined signaling pathways influences the health and dynamics of all tissues, however the tissue specificity of cell death pathways and the relationships between these pathways and human disease are not well understood. We analyzed the expression profiles of an array of 44 cell death genes involved in apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis cell death pathways across 49 human tissues from GTEx, to elucidate the landscape of cell death gene expression across human tissues, and the relationship between tissue-specific genetically determined expression and the human phenome. We uncovered unique cell death gene expression profiles across tissue types, suggesting there are physiologically distinct cell death programs in different tissues. Using summary statistics-based transcriptome wide association studies (TWAS) on human traits in the UK Biobank (n ~ 500,000), we evaluated 513 traits encompassing ICD-10 defined diagnoses and laboratory-derived traits. Our analysis revealed hundreds of significant (FDR < 0.05) associations between genetically regulated cell death gene expression and an array of human phenotypes encompassing both clinical diagnoses and hematologic parameters, which were independently validated in another large-scale DNA biobank (BioVU) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (n = 94,474) with matching phenotypes. Cell death genes were highly enriched for significant associations with blood traits versus non-cell-death genes, with apoptosis-associated genes enriched for leukocyte and platelet traits. Our findings are also concordant with independently published studies (e.g. associations between BCL2L11/BIM expression and platelet & lymphocyte counts). Overall, these results suggest that cell death genes play distinct roles in their contribution to human phenotypes, and that cell death genes influence a diverse array of human traits.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a prevalent and severe form of cancer that affects women all over the world. The incidence and mortality of breast cancer continue to rise due to factors such as population growth and the aging of the population. There is a growing area of research focused on a cell death mechanism known as PANoptosis. This mechanism is primarily regulated by the PANoptosome complex and displays important characteristics of cell death, including pyroptosis, apoptosis, and/or necroptosis, without being strictly defined by the cell death pathway. PANoptosis acts as a defensive response to external stimuli and pathogens, contributing to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and overall stability. Increasing evidence suggests that programmed cell death (PCD) plays an important role in the development of breast cancer, and PANoptosis, as a novel form of PCD, may be a crucial factor in the development of breast cancer, potentially leading to the identification of new therapeutic strategies. Therefore, the concept of PANoptosis not only deepens our understanding of PCD, but also opens up new avenues for treating malignant diseases, including breast cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of the definition of PANoptosis, systematically explore the interplay between PANoptosis and various forms of PCD, and discuss its implications for breast cancer. Additionally, it delves into the current progress and future directions of PANoptosis research in the context of breast cancer, establishing a theoretical foundation for the development of molecular targets within critical signaling pathways related to PANoptosis, as well as multi-target combination therapy approaches, with the goal of inducing PANoptosis as part of breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL or Apo2 or TNFSF10) belongs to the TNF superfamily. When bound to its agonistic receptors, TRAIL can induce apoptosis in tumour cells, while sparing healthy cells. Over the last three decades, this tumour selectivity has prompted many studies aiming at evaluating the anti-tumoral potential of TRAIL or its derivatives. Although most of these attempts have failed, so far, novel formulations are still being evaluated. However, emerging evidence indicates that TRAIL can also trigger a non-canonical signal transduction pathway that is likely to be detrimental for its use in oncology. Likewise, an increasing number of studies suggest that in some circumstances TRAIL can induce, via Death receptor 5 (DR5), tumour cell motility, potentially leading to and contributing to tumour metastasis. While the pro-apoptotic signal transduction machinery of TRAIL is well known from a mechanistic point of view, that of the non-canonical pathway is less understood. In this study, we the current state of knowledge of TRAIL non-canonical signalling.

Abstract
Apoptosis is the best described form of regulated cell death, and was, until relatively recently, considered irreversible once particular biochemical points-of-no-return were activated. In this manuscript, we examine the mechanisms cells use to escape from a self-amplifying death signaling module. We discuss the role of feedback, dynamics, propagation, and noise in apoptotic signaling. We conclude with a revised model for the role of apoptosis in animal development, homeostasis, and disease.

Abstract
Infection with the helminth Schistosoma mansoni can cause exacerbated morbidity and mortality via a pathogenic host CD4 T cell-mediated immune response directed against parasite egg antigens, with T helper (Th) 17 cells playing a major role in the development of severe granulomatous hepatic immunopathology. The role of inflammasomes in intensifying disease has been reported; however, neither the types of caspases and inflammasomes involved, nor their impact on the Th17 response are known. Here we show that enhanced egg-induced IL-1β secretion and pyroptotic cell death required both caspase-1 and caspase-8 as well as NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome activation. Schistosome genomic DNA activated AIM2, whereas reactive oxygen species, potassium efflux and cathepsin B, were the major activators of NLRP3. NLRP3 and AIM2 deficiency led to a significant reduction in pathogenic Th17 responses, suggesting their crucial and non-redundant role in promoting inflammation. Additionally, we show that NLRP3- and AIM2-induced IL-1β suppressed IL-4 and protective Type I IFN (IFN-I) production, which further enhanced inflammation. IFN-I signaling also curbed inflammasome- mediated IL-1β production suggesting that these two antagonistic pathways shape the severity of disease. Lastly, Gasdermin D (Gsdmd) deficiency resulted in a marked decrease in egg-induced granulomatous inflammation. Our findings establish NLRP3/AIM2-Gsdmd axis as a central inducer of pathogenic Th17 responses which is counteracted by IFN-I pathway in schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacteria which causes the global zoonotic disease Q Fever. Treatment options for infection are limited, and development of novel therapeutic strategies requires a greater understanding of how C. burnetii interacts with immune signaling. Cell death responses are known to be manipulated by C. burnetii, but the role of caspase-8, a central regulator of multiple cell death pathways, has not been investigated. In this research, we studied bacterial manipulation of caspase-8 signaling and the significance of caspase-8 to C. burnetii infection, examining bacterial replication, cell death induction, and cytokine signaling. We measured caspase, RIPK, and MLKL activation in C. burnetii-infected TNFα/CHX-treated THP-1 macrophage-like cells and TNFα/ZVAD-treated L929 cells to assess apoptosis and necroptosis signaling. Additionally, we measured C. burnetii replication, cell death, and TNFα induction over 12 days in RIPK1-kinase-dead, RIPK3-kinase-dead, or RIPK3-kinase-dead-caspase-8-/- BMDMs to understand the significance of caspase-8 and RIPK1/3 during infection. We found that caspase-8 is inhibited by C. burnetii, coinciding with inhibition of apoptosis and increased susceptibility to necroptosis. Furthermore, C. burnetii replication was increased in BMDMs lacking caspase-8, but not in those lacking RIPK1/3 kinase activity, corresponding with decreased TNFα production and reduced cell death. As TNFα is associated with the control of C. burnetii, this lack of a TNFα response may allow for the unchecked bacterial growth we saw in caspase-8-/- BMDMs. This research identifies and explores caspase-8 as a key regulator of C. burnetii infection, opening novel therapeutic doors.

Abstract
The proteolytic activity of caspase-8 suppresses lethal RIPK1-, RIPK3- and MLKL-dependent necroptosis during mouse embryogenesis. Caspase-8 is reported to cleave RIPK3 in addition to the RIPK3-interacting kinase RIPK1, but whether cleavage of RIPK3 is crucial for necroptosis suppression is unclear. Here we show that caspase-8-driven cleavage of endogenous mouse RIPK3 after Asp333 is dependent on downstream caspase-3. Consistent with RIPK3 cleavage being a consequence of apoptosis rather than a critical brake on necroptosis, Ripk3D333A/D333A knock-in mice lacking the Asp333 cleavage site are viable and develop normally. Moreover, in contrast to mice lacking caspase-8 in their intestinal epithelial cells, Ripk3D333A/D333A mice do not exhibit increased sensitivity to high dose tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Ripk3D333A/D333A macrophages died at the same rate as wild-type (WT) macrophages in response to TNF plus cycloheximide, TNF plus emricasan, or infection with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) lacking M36 and M45 to inhibit caspase-8 and RIPK3 activation, respectively. We conclude that caspase cleavage of RIPK3 is dispensable for mouse development, and that cleavage of caspase-8 substrates, including RIPK1, is sufficient to prevent necroptosis.

Abstract
Since the identification of NM23 (now called NME1) as the first metastasis suppressor gene (MSG), a small number of other gene products and non-coding RNAs have been identified that suppress specific parameters of the metastatic cascade, yet which have little or no ability to regulate primary tumor initiation or maintenance. MSG can regulate various pathways or cell biological functions such as those controlling mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway mediators, cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix protein adhesion, cytoskeletal architecture, G-protein-coupled receptors, apoptosis, and transcriptional complexes. One defining facet of this gene class is that their expression is typically downregulated, not mutated, in metastasis, such that any effective therapeutic intervention would involve their re-expression. This review will address the therapeutic targeting of MSG, once thought to be a daunting task only facilitated by ectopically re-expressing MSG in metastatic cells in vivo. Examples will be cited of attempts to identify actionable oncogenic pathways that might suppress the formation or progression of metastases through the re-expression of specific metastasis suppressors.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) triggered by innate immune activation is an important strategy for host survival during pathogen invasion and perturbations of cellular homeostasis. There are two main categories of RCD, including nonlytic and lytic pathways. Apoptosis is the most well-characterized nonlytic RCD, and the inflammatory pyroptosis and necroptosis pathways are among the best known lytic forms. While these were historically viewed as independent RCD pathways, extensive evidence of cross-talk among their molecular components created a knowledge gap in our mechanistic understanding of RCD and innate immune pathway components, which led to the identification of PANoptosis. PANoptosis is a unique innate immune inflammatory RCD pathway that is regulated by PANoptosome complexes upon sensing pathogens, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) or the cytokines produced downstream. Cytosolic innate immune sensors and regulators, such as ZBP1, AIM2 and RIPK1, promote the assembly of PANoptosomes to drive PANoptosis. In this review, we discuss the molecular components of the known PANoptosomes and highlight the mechanisms of PANoptosome assembly, activation and regulation identified to date. We also discuss how PANoptosomes and mutations in PANoptosome components are linked to diseases. Given the impact of RCD, and PANoptosis specifically, across the disease spectrum, improved understanding of PANoptosomes and their regulation will be critical for identifying new therapeutic targets and strategies.

Abstract
The innate immune responses, including inflammasome activation, are paramount for host defense against pathogen infection. In contrast to canonical and noncanonical inflammasome activation, in this study, heat-killed gram-negative bacteria (HK bacteria) were identified as single-step stimulators of the NLRP3 inflammasome in human monocytes, and they caused a moderate amount of IL-1β to be released from cells. Time course experiments showed that this alternative inflammasome response was finished within a few hours. Further analysis showed that the intrinsically limited NLRP3 inflammasome activation response was due to the negative regulation of caspase-8 by the short isoform of cFLIP (cFLIPs), which was activated by NF-κB. In contrast, overexpressed cFLIPS, but not overexpressed cFLIPL, inhibited the activation of caspase-8 and the release of IL-1β in response to HK bacteria infection in human monocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that TAK1 activity mediated the expression of cFLIPs and was upstream and essential for the caspase-8 cleavage induced by HK bacteria in human monocytes. The functional specificity of cFLIPs and TAK1 revealed unique responses of human monocytes to a noninvasive pathogen, providing novel insights into an alternative regulatory pathway of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Abstract
Caspases are proteolytic enzymes that belong to the cysteine protease family and play a crucial role in homeostasis and programmed cell death. Caspases have been broadly classified by their known roles in apoptosis (caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-7, caspase-8, and caspase-9 in mammals) and in inflammation (caspase-1, caspase-4, caspase-5, and caspase-12 in humans, and caspase-1, caspase-11, and caspase-12 in mice). Caspases involved in apoptosis have been subclassified by their mechanism of action as either initiator caspases (caspase-8 and caspase-9) or executioner caspases (caspase-3, caspase-6, and caspase-7). Caspases that participate in apoptosis are inhibited by proteins known as inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs). In addition to apoptosis, caspases play a role in necroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy, which are non-apoptotic cell death processes. Dysregulation of caspases features prominently in many human diseases, including cancer, autoimmunity, and neurodegenerative disorders, and increasing evidence shows that altering caspase activity can confer therapeutic benefits. This review covers the different types of caspases, their functions, and their physiological and biological activities and roles in different organisms.

Abstract
The four new ligands, propylenediamine derivatives of phenylalanine (R2-S,S-pddbaˑ2HCl; L1-L4) and their palladium(II) complexes (C1-C4) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The interactions of new palladium(II) complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. All investigated compounds can be transported to target cells by binding to HSA, but complex C4 interacts most strongly. Molecular docking simulations were applied to comprehend the binding of the complex to the molecular target of HSA. Obtained results are in good correlations with experimental data regarding binding affinity by HSA. In vitro cytotoxicity activities were investigated on four tumor cell lines (mouse mammary (4 T1) and colon (CT26), human mammary (MDA-MD-468) and colon (HCT116)) and mouse mesenchymal stem cells as non-tumor control cells. Cytotoxic capacity was determined by MTT test and according to obtained results ligand L4 stands out as the most active and selective compound and as a good candidate for future in vivo testing. Further examination of the ligand L4 and corresponding complex C4 led to the conclusion that both induced cell death mainly by apoptosis. Ligand L4 facilitated cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and decreased proliferative capacity of tumor cells. In vitro antimicrobial activity for ligands and corresponding Pd(II) complexes was investigated against eleven microorganisms (eight strains of pathogenic bacteria and three yeast species) using microdilution method. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum microbicidal concentration were determined.

Abstract
Background Gnathostomiasis is an important zoonosis in tropical areas that is mainly caused by third-stage Gnathostoma spinigerum larvae (G. spinigerum L3). Objectives This study aimed to prove whether G. spinigerum L3 produces extracellular vesicles (EVs) and investigate human gene profiles related to the immune response against the larvae. Methods We created an immune cell model using normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) co-cultured with the larvae for 1 and 3 days, respectively. The PBMCs were harvested for transcriptome sequencing analysis. The EV ultrastructure was examined in the larvae and the cultured medium. Results Extracellular vesicle-like particles were observed under the larval teguments and in the pellets in the medium. RNA-seq analysis revealed that 2,847 and 3,118 genes were significantly expressed on days 1 and 3 after culture, respectively. The downregulated genes on day 1 after culture were involved in pro-inflammatory cytokines, the complement system and apoptosis, whereas those on day 3 were involved in T cell-dependent B cell activation and wound healing. Significantly upregulated genes related to cell proliferation, activation and development, as well as cytotoxicity, were observed on day 1, and genes regulating T cell maturation, granulocyte function, nuclear factor-κB and toll-like receptor pathways were predominantly observed on day 3 after culture. Conclusion G. spinigerum L3 produces EV-like particles and releases them into the excretory-secretory products. Overall, genotypic findings during our 3-day observation revealed that most significant gene expressions were related to T and B cell signalling, driving T helper 2 cells related to chronic infection, immune evasion of the larvae, and the pathogenesis of gnathostomiasis. Further in-depth studies are necessary to clarify gene functions in the pathogenesis and immune evasion mechanisms of the infective larvae.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays a central role in orchestrating mammalian inflammatory responses. It promotes inflammation either directly by inducing inflammatory gene expression or indirectly by triggering cell death. TNF-mediated cell death-driven inflammation can be beneficial during infection by providing cell-extrinsic signals that help to mount proper immune responses. Uncontrolled cell death caused by TNF is instead highly detrimental and is believed to cause several human autoimmune diseases. Death is not the default response to TNF sensing. Molecular brakes, or cell death checkpoints, actively repress TNF cytotoxicity to protect the organism from its detrimental consequences. These checkpoints therefore constitute essential safeguards against inflammatory diseases. Recent advances in the field have revealed the existence of several new and unexpected brakes against TNF cytotoxicity and pathogenicity.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a central regulator of innate immunity, cell death, inflammation, and cellular homeostasis. Therefore, many pathogens carry TAK1 inhibitors (TAK1i). As a host strategy to counteract this, inhibition or deletion of TAK1 induces spontaneous inflammatory cell death, PANoptosis, through the RIPK1-PANoptosome complex, containing the NLRP3 inflammasome and caspase-8/FADD/RIPK3 as integral components; however, PANoptosis also promotes pathological inflammation. Therefore, understanding molecular mechanisms that regulate TAK1i-induced cell death is essential. Here, we report a genome-wide CRISPR screen in macrophages that identified TAK1i-induced cell death regulators, including polypyrimidine tract-binding (PTB) protein 1 (PTBP1), a known regulator of RIPK1, and a previously unknown regulator RAVER1. RAVER1 blocked alternative splicing of Ripk1, and its genetic depletion inhibited TAK1i-induced, RIPK1-mediated inflammasome activation and PANoptosis. Overall, our CRISPR screen identified several positive regulators of PANoptosis. Moreover, our study highlights the utility of genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens in myeloid cells for comprehensive characterization of complex cell death pathways to discover therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Grass carp reovirus genotype Ⅱ (GCRV Ⅱ) causes a variety of fish hemorrhagic disease, which seriously affects the sustainable development of grass carp aquaculture in China. Rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) is an ideal model fish to study the pathogenesis of GCRV Ⅱ. To investigate the involved molecular responses against the GCRV Ⅱ infection, we performed comparative transcriptomic analysis in the spleen and liver of rare minnow injected with virulent strain DY197 and attenuated strain QJ205. Results showed that the virulent DY197 strain induced more differently expressed genes (DEGs) than the attenuated QJ205 strain, and tissue-specific responses were induced. In the spleen, the attenuated and virulent strains induced different DEGs; the attenuated QJ205 infection activated steroid synthesis pathway that involved in membrane formation; however, virulent DY197 infection activated innate immunity and apoptosis related pathways while suppressing cell proliferation and migration related pathways that are important for damage tissue repair, as well as hemorrhage related pathways. In the liver, the attenuated and virulent strains infection induced similar DEGs; both strains infection activated immunity and apoptosis related pathways but suppressed metabolism-related pathways; virulent DY197 infection especially activated protein digestion and absorption-related pathways and suppressed steroid synthesis pathway. To conclude, virulent strain infection especially induced tissue-specific alterations and caused severe suppression of hemorrhage-related pathways in spleen. Our findings will contribute to better understanding of the interactions between host and GCRV II.

[PMID: 37150321 PMCID: PMC10267563 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Necroptosis is a form of regulated cell death triggered by various host and pathogen-derived molecules during infection and inflammation. The essential step leading to necroptosis is phosphorylation of the mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein by receptor-interacting protein kinase 3. Caspase-8 cleaves receptor-interacting protein kinases to block necroptosis, so synthetic caspase inhibitors are required to study this process in experimental models. However, it is unclear how caspase-8 activity is regulated in a physiological setting. The active site cysteine of caspases is sensitive to oxidative inactivation, so we hypothesized that oxidants generated at sites of inflammation can inhibit caspase-8 and promote necroptosis. Here, we discovered that hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN), an oxidant generated in vivo by heme peroxidases including myeloperoxidase and lactoperoxidase, is a potent caspase-8 inhibitor. We found HOSCN was able to promote necroptosis in mouse fibroblasts treated with tumor necrosis factor. We also demonstrate purified caspase-8 was inactivated by low concentrations of HOSCN, with the predominant product being a disulfide-linked dimer between Cys360 and Cys409 of the large and small catalytic subunits. We show oxidation still occurred in the presence of reducing agents, and reduction of the dimer was slow, consistent with HOSCN being a powerful physiological caspase inhibitor. While the initial oxidation product is a dimer, further modification also occurred in cells treated with HOSCN, leading to higher molecular weight caspase-8 species. Taken together, these findings indicate major disruption of caspase-8 function and suggest a novel mechanism for the promotion of necroptosis at sites of inflammation.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a form of regulated cell death (RCD) that involves proteases of the caspase family. Pharmacological and genetic strategies that experimentally inhibit or delay apoptosis in mammalian systems have elucidated the key contribution of this process not only to (post-)embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis, but also to the etiology of multiple human disorders. Consistent with this notion, while defects in the molecular machinery for apoptotic cell death impair organismal development and promote oncogenesis, the unwarranted activation of apoptosis promotes cell loss and tissue damage in the context of various neurological, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, infectious, neoplastic and inflammatory conditions. Here, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) gathered to critically summarize an abundant pre-clinical literature mechanistically linking the core apoptotic apparatus to organismal homeostasis in the context of disease.

A rare immunological disease, caspase 8 deficiency: case report and literature review. ALLERGY, ASTHMA, AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CANADIAN SOCIETY OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 19:29. [PMID: 37038193 PMCID: PMC10084589 DOI: 10.1186/s13223-023-00778-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Caspase-8 is a molecule in the FAS pathway that initiates apoptosis. One of the rarest autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndromes is caspase-8 deficiency. Immunodeficiency, splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy are the common symptoms of this condition. CASE PRESENTATION A two-year-old boy entered this study with a fever of unknown origin (FUO) and dysentery. Moreover, he suffered from failure to thrive and was allergic to the cow's milk protein. His fever and dysentery did not respond to antibiotic therapy. The colonoscopy revealed diffuse ulcerations regions in the sigmoid along with skipped areas, mimicking Crohn's disease aphthous lesions. He represented very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and was diagnosed with the caspase-8 deficiency. CONCLUSION There can be diarrhea or dysentery as the first or main symptoms of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). The cause of diarrhea and dysentery in this case was early-onset IBD. One of the symptoms of IEIs such as caspase-8 deficiency is early-onset of IBD. Patients with early-onset had normal T cell count and low or normal immunoglobulin levels with insufficient immune response.

Abstract
Cell death mechanisms in T lymphocytes vary according to their developmental stage, cell subset and activation status. The cell death control mechanisms of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, a specialized T cell population, are largely unknown. Here we report that MAIT cells express key necroptotic machinery; receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) protein, in abundance. Despite this, we discovered that the loss of RIPK3, but not necroptotic effector MLKL or apoptotic caspase-8, specifically increased MAIT cell abundance at steady-state in the thymus, spleen, liver and lungs, in a cell-intrinsic manner. In contrast, over the course of infection with Francisella tularensis, RIPK3 deficiency did not impact the magnitude of the expansion nor contraction of MAIT cell pools. These findings suggest that, distinct from conventional T cells, the accumulation of MAIT cells is restrained by RIPK3 signalling, likely prior to thymic egress, in a manner independent of canonical apoptotic and necroptotic cell death pathways.

Innate and adaptive immune abnormalities underlying autoimmune diseases: the genetic connections. SCIENCE CHINA. LIFE SCIENCES 2023:10.1007/s11427-021-2187-3.

Abstract
With the exception of an extremely small number of cases caused by single gene mutations, most autoimmune diseases result from the complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. In a nutshell, etiology of the common autoimmune disorders is unknown in spite of progress elucidating certain effector cells and molecules responsible for pathologies associated with inflammatory and tissue damage. In recent years, population genetics approaches have greatly enriched our knowledge regarding genetic susceptibility of autoimmunity, providing us with a window of opportunities to comprehensively re-examine autoimmunity-associated genes and possible pathways. In this review, we aim to discuss etiology and pathogenesis of common autoimmune disorders from the perspective of human genetics. An overview of the genetic basis of autoimmunity is followed by 3 chapters detailing susceptibility genes involved in innate immunity, adaptive immunity and inflammatory cell death processes respectively. With such attempts, we hope to expand the scope of thinking and bring attention to lesser appreciated molecules and pathways as important contributors of autoimmunity beyond the 'usual suspects' of a limited subset of validated therapeutic targets.

An Atypical, Staged Cell Death Pathway Induced by Depletion of SNARE-Proteins MUNC18-1 or Syntaxin-1. J Neurosci 2023; 43:347-358. [PMID: 36517239 PMCID: PMC9864589 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.0611-22.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The presynaptic proteins MUNC18-1, syntaxin-1, and SNAP25 drive SNARE-mediated synaptic vesicle fusion and are also required for neuronal viability. Their absence triggers rapid, cell-autonomous, neuron-specific degeneration, unrelated to synaptic vesicle deficits. The underlying cell death pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we show that hippocampi of munc18-1 null mice (unknown sex) express apoptosis hallmarks cleaved caspase 3 (CC-3) and phosphorylated p53, and have condensed nuclei. However, side-by-side in vitro comparison with classical apoptosis induced by camptothecin uncovered striking differences to syntaxin-1 and MUNC18-1 depleted neurons. First, live-cell imaging revealed consecutive neurite retraction hours before cell death in MUNC18-1 or syntaxin-1 depleted neurons, whereas all neurites retracted at once, directly before cell death in classical apoptosis. Second, CC-3 activation was observed only after loss of all neurites and cellular breakdown, whereas CC-3 is activated before any neurite loss in classical apoptosis. Third, a pan-caspase inhibitor and a p53 inhibitor both arrested classical apoptosis, as expected, but not cell death in MUNC18-1 or syntaxin-1 depleted neurons. Neuron-specific cell death, consecutive neurite retraction, and late CC-3 activation were conserved in syntaxin-1 depleted human neurons. Finally, no indications were observed for involvement of other established cell death pathways, including necroptosis, Wallerian degeneration, autophagic cell death, and pyroptosis. Together, these data show that depletion of presynaptic proteins MUNC18-1 or syntaxin-1 triggers an atypical, staged cell death pathway characterized by consecutive neurite retraction, ultimately leading to, but not driven by, apoptosis.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Neuronal cell death can occur via a multitude of pathways and plays an important role in the developing nervous system as well as neurodegenerative diseases. One poorly understood pathway to neuronal cell death takes place on depletion of presynaptic SNARE proteins syntaxin-1, SNAP25, or MUNC18-1. The current study demonstrates that MUNC18-1 or syntaxin-1 depleted neurons show a new, atypical, staged cell death that does not resemble any of the established cell death pathways in neurons. Cell death on MUNC18-1 or syntaxin-1 depletion is characterized by consecutive neurite retraction, ultimately involving, but not driven by, classical apoptosis.

Abstract
The term apoptosis, as a way of programmed cell death, was coined a half century ago and since its discovery the process has been extensively investigated. The anatomy and physiology of the head are complex and thus apoptosis has mostly been followed in separate structures, tissues or cell types. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent knowledge concerning apoptosis-related molecules involved in the development of structures of head with a particular focus on caspases, cysteine proteases having a key position in apoptotic pathways. Since many classical apoptosis-related molecules, including caspases, are emerging in several non-apoptotic processes, these were also considered. The largest organ of the head region is the brain and its development has been extensively investigated, including the roles of apoptosis and related molecules. Neurogenesis research also includes sensory organs such as the eye and ear, efferent nervous system and associated muscles and glands. Caspases have been also associated with normal function of the skin and hair follicles. Regarding mineralised tissues within craniofacial morphogenesis, apoptosis in bones has been of interest along with palate fusion and tooth development. Finally, the role of apoptosis and caspases in angiogenesis, necessary for any tissue/organ development and maintenance/homeostasis, are discussed. Additionally, this review points to abnormalities of development resulting from improper expression/activation of apoptosis-related molecules.

Abstract
Host control over infectious disease relies on the ability of cells in multicellular organisms to detect and defend against pathogens to prevent disease. Evolution affords mammals with a wide variety of independent immune mechanisms to control or eliminate invading infectious agents. Many pathogens acquire functions to deflect these immune mechanisms and promote infection. Following successful invasion of a host, cell autonomous signaling pathways drive the production of inflammatory cytokines, deployment of restriction factors and induction of cell death. Combined, these innate immune mechanisms attract dendritic cells, neutrophils and macrophages as well as innate lymphoid cells such as natural killer cells that all help control infection. Eventually, the development of adaptive pathogen-specific immunity clears infection and provides immune memory of the encounter. For obligate intracellular pathogens such as viruses, diverse cell death pathways make a pivotal contribution to early control by eliminating host cells before progeny are produced. Pro-apoptotic caspase-8 activity (along with caspase-10 in humans) executes extrinsic apoptosis, a nonlytic form of cell death triggered by TNF family death receptors (DRs). Over the past two decades, alternate extrinsic apoptosis and necroptosis outcomes have been described. Programmed necrosis, or necroptosis, occurs when receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) activates mixed lineage kinase-like (MLKL), causing cell leakage. Thus, activation of DRs, toll-like receptors (TLRs) or pathogen sensor Z-nucleic acid binding protein 1 (ZBP1) initiates apoptosis as well as necroptosis if not blocked by virus-encoded inhibitors. Mammalian cell death pathways are blocked by herpesvirus- and poxvirus-encoded cell death suppressors. Growing evidence has revealed the importance of Z-nucleic acid sensor, ZBP1, in the cell autonomous recognition of both DNA and RNA virus infection. This volume will explore the detente between viruses and cells to manage death machinery and avoid elimination to support dissemination within the host animal.

Endothelial Caspase-8 prevents fatal necroptotic hemorrhage caused by commensal bacteria. Cell Death Differ 2023; 30:27-36. [PMID: 35871233 PMCID: PMC9883523 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-022-01042-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Caspase-8 transduces signals from death receptor ligands, such as tumor necrosis factor, to drive potent responses including inflammation, cell proliferation or cell death. This is a developmentally essential function because in utero deletion of endothelial Caspase-8 causes systemic circulatory collapse during embryogenesis. Whether endothelial Caspase-8 is also required for cardiovascular patency during adulthood was unknown. To address this question, we used an inducible Cre recombinase system to delete endothelial Casp8 in 6-week-old conditionally gene-targeted mice. Extensive whole body vascular gene targeting was confirmed, yet the dominant phenotype was fatal hemorrhagic lesions exclusively within the small intestine. The emergence of these intestinal lesions was not a maladaptive immune response to endothelial Caspase-8-deficiency, but instead relied upon aberrant Toll-like receptor sensing of microbial commensals and tumor necrosis factor receptor signaling. This lethal phenotype was prevented in compound mutant mice that lacked the necroptotic cell death effector, MLKL. Thus, distinct from its systemic role during embryogenesis, our data show that dysregulated microbial- and death receptor-signaling uniquely culminate in the adult mouse small intestine to unleash MLKL-dependent necroptotic hemorrhage after loss of endothelial Caspase-8. These data support a critical role for Caspase-8 in preserving gut vascular integrity in the face of microbial commensals.

Choi YH, Cho SH, Seo J, Ahn JH, Kim YC. Apoptosis Occurs in the Anterior Talofibular Ligament of Patients With Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: An In Vitro Study. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2022; 480:2420-2429. [PMID: 35973121 PMCID: PMC9653187 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic lateral ankle instability is treated operatively, whereas most acute ankle sprains associated with acute anterior talofibular ligament injury are usually treated nonoperatively. This treatment strategy is widely accepted and has been validated using a variety of clinical or radiological methods. We suspected that there may be biological differences between chronic and acutely injured ligaments, particularly with respect to apoptosis. Apoptosis is known to cause ligament degeneration. If it could be demonstrated that apoptosis occurs more in the anterior talofibular ligament tissues of patients with chronic lateral ankle instability compared with patients with acute anterior talofibular ligament injury, biological evidence could be supported. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We sought to (1) elucidate the difference in the extent of apoptosis between patients with chronic lateral ankle instability and those with acute anterior talofibular ligament injury. In addition, we asked: (2) What is the expression level of apoptotic enzymes such as caspases 3, 7, 8, and 9 and cytochrome c in each patient group? (3) Is there a correlation between apoptotic activities and the symptom duration period of chronic lateral ankle instability? METHODS Between March 2019 and February 2021, 50 patients were prospectively enrolled in this study. Anterior talofibular ligament tissues were harvested from patients who were divided into two groups: the chronic lateral ankle instability group and the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group. Patients with insufficient remaining ligaments were excluded from the chronic lateral ankle instability group, and cases in which the tissue was severely damaged or the quality of collected tissue was insufficient because of severe impingement into the fracture site were excluded from the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group. Tissues were collected from 21 patients (11 males and 10 females) in the chronic lateral ankle instability group with a mean age of 37 ± 14 years and from 17 patients (6 males and 11 females) in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group with a mean age of 49 ± 17 years. To investigate our first purpose, apoptotic cells were counted using a TUNEL assay. To answer our second question, Western blotting for apoptotic enzymes such as caspases 3, 7, 8, and 9 and cytochrome c was performed to investigate apoptotic activity. Immunohistochemistry was also used to detect apoptotic enzymes. To answer our third question, the time elapsed after the first symptom related to chronic lateral ankle instability occurred and the expression level of each enzyme was investigated. RESULTS More apoptotic cells were observed in the chronic lateral ankle instability group than in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group in the TUNEL assay. Western blotting revealed that the apoptotic activities of the chronic lateral ankle instability group were higher than those of the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group: caspase 3 was 117 in the chronic lateral ankle instability group and 59 in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group (mean difference 58 [95% confidence interval (CI) 31 to 86]; p < 0.001), caspase 7 was 138 in the chronic lateral ankle instability group and 45 in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group (mean difference 93 [95% CI 58 to 128]; p < 0.001), caspase 8 was 126 in the chronic lateral ankle instability group and 68 in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group (mean difference 58 [95% CI 29 to 89]; p < 0.001), caspase 9 was 128 in the chronic lateral ankle instability group and 54 in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group (mean difference 74 [95% CI 44 to 104]; p < 0.001), and cytochrome c was 139 in the chronic lateral ankle instability group and 51 in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group (mean difference 88 [95% CI 46 to 129]; p < 0.001). Immunohistochemistry revealed higher expression of caspases 3, 7, 8, and 9 and cytochrome c in the chronic lateral ankle instability group compared with those in the acute anterior talofibular ligament injury group. Caspases 3, 7, and 9 showed no correlation with duration of chronic lateral ankle instability symptoms: the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.22 [95% CI -0.25 to 0.69] for caspase 3 (p = 0.36), 0.29 [95% CI -0.16 to 0.74] for caspase 7 (p = 0.23), and 0.29 [95% CI -0.16 to 0.74] for caspase 9 (p = 0.23). CONCLUSION In chronic lateral ankle instability, apoptotic activity in the anterior talofibular ligament was higher than in acute anterior talofibular ligament injury. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Apoptosis occurs more in chronic injured ligaments than in acutely injured ligaments. Although urgent surgical repair is not required for acute anterior talofibular ligament injury, chronic lateral ankle instability may progress if the nonoperative treatment is not successful. Further research should focus not only on timing of apoptotic progression, but also on biological augmentation to reverse or prevent apoptosis within the anterior talofibular ligament.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a central cytokine in inflammatory reactions, and biologics that neutralize TNF are among the most successful drugs for the treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune pathologies. In recent years, it became clear that TNF drives inflammatory responses not only directly by inducing inflammatory gene expression but also indirectly by inducing cell death, instigating inflammatory immune reactions and disease development. Hence, inhibitors of cell death are being considered as a new therapy for TNF-dependent inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by autoimmune-associated β-cell loss, insulin insufficiency, and hyperglycemia. Although TNFα signaling is associated with β-cell loss and hyperglycemia in non-obese diabetic mice and human T1D, the molecular mechanisms of β-cell TNF receptor signaling have not been fully characterized. Based on work in other cell types, we hypothesized that receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) regulate TNFα-induced β-cell death in concert with caspase activity. METHODS We evaluated TNFα-induced cell death, caspase activity, and TNF receptor pathway molecule expression in immortalized NIT-1 and INS-1 β-cell lines and primary mouse islet cells in vitro. Our studies utilized genetic and small molecule approaches to alter RIPK1 and RIPK3 expression and caspase activity to interrogate mechanisms of TNFα-induced β-cell death. We used the β-cell toxin streptozotocin (STZ) to determine the susceptibility of Ripk3+/+ and Ripk3-/- mice to hyperglycemia in vivo. RESULTS Expression of TNF receptor signaling molecules including RIPK1 and RIPK3 was identified in NIT-1 and INS-1 β cells and isolated mouse islets at the mRNA and protein levels. TNFα treatment increased NIT-1 and INS-1 cell death and caspase activity after 24-48 h, and BV6, a small molecule inhibitor of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) amplified this TNFα-induced cell death. RIPK1 deficient NIT-1 cells were protected from TNFα- and BV6-induced cell death and caspase activation. Interestingly, small molecule inhibition of caspases with zVAD-fmk (zVAD) did not prevent TNFα-induced cell death in either NIT-1 or INS-1 cells. This caspase-independent cell death was increased by BV6 treatment and decreased in RIPK1 deficient NIT-1 cells. RIPK3 deficient NIT-1 cells and RIPK3 kinase inhibitor treated INS-1 cells were protected from TNFα+zVAD-induced cell death, whereas RIPK3 overexpression increased INS-1 cell death and promoted RIPK3 and MLKL interaction under TNFα+zVAD treatment. In mouse islet cells, BV6 or zVAD treatment promoted TNFα-induced cell death, and TNFα+zVAD-induced cell death was blocked by RIPK3 inhibition and in Ripk3-/- islet cells in vitro. Ripk3-/- mice were also protected from STZ-induced hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance in vivo. CONCLUSIONS RIPK1 and RIPK3 regulate TNFα-induced β-cell death in concert with caspase activity in immortalized and primary islet β cells. TNF receptor signaling molecules such as RIPK1 and RIPK3 may represent novel therapeutic targets to promote β-cell survival and glucose homeostasis in T1D.

Abstract
Apoptosis and necroptosis regulate many aspects of organismal biology and are involved in various human diseases. TNF is well known to induce both of these forms of cell death and the underlying mechanisms have been elaborately described. However, cells can also engage apoptosis and necroptosis through TNF-independent mechanisms, involving, for example, activation of the pattern recognition receptors Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3 and -4, or zDNA-binding protein 1 (ZBP1). In this context, cell death signaling depends on the presence of receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 3 (RIPK3). Whereas RIPK3 is required for TNF-induced necroptosis, it mediates both apoptosis and necroptosis upon TLR3/4 and ZBP1 engagement. Here, we review the intricate mechanisms by which TNF-independent cell death is regulated by RIPK3.

Abstract
Caspases are an evolutionarily conserved family of proteases responsible for mediating and initiating cell death signals. In the past, the dysregulated activation of caspases was reported to play diverse but equally essential roles in neurodegenerative diseases, such as brain injury and neuroinflammatory diseases. A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a traumatic event that is either immediately lethal or induces a high risk of stroke and neurological deficits. Currently, the prognosis of SAH after treatment is not ideal. Early brain injury (EBI) is considered one of the main factors contributing to the poor prognosis of SAH. The mechanisms of EBI are complex and associated with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and cell death. Based on mounting evidence, caspases are involved in neuronal apoptosis or death, endothelial cell apoptosis, and increased inflammatory cytokine-induced by apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis in the initial stages after SAH. Caspases can simultaneously mediate multiple death modes and regulate each other. Caspase inhibitors (including XIAP, VX-765, and Z-VAD-FMK) play an essential role in ameliorating EBI after SAH. In this review, we explore the related pathways mediated by caspases and their reciprocal regulation patterns after SAH. Furthermore, we focus on the extensive crosstalk of caspases as a potential area of research on therapeutic strategies for treating EBI after SAH.

Abstract
The RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 is essential for the suppression of innate immune activation and pathology caused by aberrant recognition of self-RNA, a role it carries out by disrupting the duplex structure of endogenous double-stranded RNA species1,2. A point mutation in the sequence encoding the Z-DNA-binding domain (ZBD) of ADAR1 is associated with severe autoinflammatory disease3-5. ZBP1 is the only other ZBD-containing mammalian protein6, and its activation can trigger both cell death and transcriptional responses through the kinases RIPK1 and RIPK3, and the protease caspase 8 (refs. 7-9). Here we show that the pathology caused by alteration of the ZBD of ADAR1 is driven by activation of ZBP1. We found that ablation of ZBP1 fully rescued the overt pathology caused by ADAR1 alteration, without fully reversing the underlying inflammatory program caused by this alteration. Whereas loss of RIPK3 partially phenocopied the protective effects of ZBP1 ablation, combined deletion of caspase 8 and RIPK3, or of caspase 8 and MLKL, unexpectedly exacerbated the pathogenic effects of ADAR1 alteration. These findings indicate that ADAR1 is a negative regulator of sterile ZBP1 activation, and that ZBP1-dependent signalling underlies the autoinflammatory pathology caused by alteration of ADAR1.

Abstract
Autoinflammatory diseases related to RIPK1 mutations have been recently described. Two distinct clinical phenotypes have been reported and depend on the type and location of the mutation. When the mutation is recessive with loss of function, patients develop a combined phenotype of immune deficiency with recurrent bacterial and fungal infections and signs of early inflammatory bowel disease, non-erosive polyarthritis and growth retardation. On the other hand, when the mutation is dominant, gain of function, the manifestations are only auto-inflammatory with extensive lymphoproliferation, oral lesions such as aphthosis or ulcers, abdominal pain and hepatosplenomegaly. The mutations described for the dominant form affect only the cleavage site of caspase 8 and the clinical phenotype is called CRIA for Cleavage-Resistant RIPK1-Induced Autoinflammatory syndrome. The recessive form is severe and life-threatening requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplantation while the dominant form responds well to interleukin-6 receptor antagonists. Thus, RIPK1 mutations can induce various clinical manifestations with two distinct phenotypes. Although still rare, because of their recent description, these diseases can be suspected by an internist, in front of recurrent digestive features and will be increasingly diagnosed in the future through the integration of this gene in the diagnostic chips dedicated to autoinflammatory diseases and early inflammatory bowel diseases, using next generation sequencing.

Abstract
Cell death is a crucial event underlying cardiac ischemic injury, pathological remodeling, and heart failure. Unlike apoptosis, necrosis had long been regarded as a passive and unregulated process. However, recent studies demonstrate that a significant subset of necrotic cell death is actively mediated through regulated pathways - a process known as "regulated necrosis". As a form of regulated necrosis, necroptosis is mediated by death receptors and executed through the activation of receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and its downstream substrate mixed lineage kinase-like domain (MLKL). Recent studies have provided compelling evidence that necroptosis plays an important role in myocardial homeostasis, ischemic injury, pathological remodeling, and heart failure. Moreover, it has been shown that genetic and pharmacological manipulations of the necroptosis signaling pathway elicit cardioprotective effects. Important progress has also been made regarding the molecular mechanisms that regulate necroptotic cell death in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we discuss molecular and cellular mechanisms of necroptosis, potential crosstalk between necroptosis and other cell death pathways, functional implications of necroptosis in heart disease, and new therapeutic strategies that target necroptosis signaling.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease and stroke, kills around one-third of the world’s population, and myocardial infarction, a primary symptom of coronary heart disease, is a major worldwide health problem. Cardiovascular disease research has historically focused on promoting angiogenesis following myocardial damage. Myocardial vascular repair is crucial for improving myocardial infarction prognosis. Endothelial cells, the largest population of nonmyocytes within myocardial tissue, play an important role in angiogenesis. In recent years, different types of programmed cell death such as apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy have been described and found to be linked with cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, and myocarditis. This will have important implications for reforming the treatment strategy of cardiovascular diseases. Different types of cell death of endothelial cells in myocardial infarction have been proposed, the roles and mechanisms of endothelial cell death in myocardial infarction are summarized in this review, and endothelial cell death inhibition as a therapeutic technique for treating myocardial infarction might be advantageous to human health.

Abstract
In the last decade, new non-apoptotic roles have been ascribed to apoptotic caspases. This family of proteins plays an important role in the sculpting of the brain in the early stages of development by eliminating excessive and nonfunctional synapses and extra cells. Consequently, impairments in this process can underlie many neurological and mental illnesses. This view is particularly relevant to dopamine because it plays a pleiotropic role in motor control, motivation, and reward processing. In this study, we analyze the effects of the elimination of caspase-8 (CASP8) on the development of catecholaminergic neurons using neurochemical, ultrastructural, and behavioral tests. To do this, we selectively delete the CASP8 gene in cells that express tyrosine hydroxylase with the help of recombination through the Cre-loxP system. Our results show that the number of dopaminergic neurons increases in the substantia nigra. In the striatum, the basal extracellular level of dopamine and potassium-evoked dopamine release decreased significantly in mice lacking CASP8, clearly showing the low dopamine functioning in tissues innervated by this neurotransmitter. This view is supported by electron microscopy analysis of striatal synapses. Interestingly, behavioral analysis demonstrates that mice lacking CASP8 show changes reminiscent of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Our research reactivates the possible role of dopamine transmission in the pathogenesis of ASD and provides a mild model of autism.

Abstract
The innate immune system provides the first line of defense against cellular perturbations. Innate immune activation elicits inflammatory programmed cell death in response to microbial infections or alterations in cellular homeostasis. Among the most well-characterized programmed cell death pathways are pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. While these pathways have historically been defined as segregated and independent processes, mounting evidence shows significant crosstalk among them. These molecular interactions have been described as ‘crosstalk’, ‘plasticity’, ‘redundancies’, ‘molecular switches’, and more. Here, we discuss the key components of cell death pathways and note several examples of crosstalk. We then explain how the diverse descriptions of crosstalk throughout the literature can be interpreted through the lens of an integrated inflammatory cell death concept, PANoptosis. The totality of biological effects in PANoptosis cannot be individually accounted for by pyroptosis, apoptosis, or necroptosis alone. We also discuss PANoptosomes, which are multifaceted macromolecular complexes that regulate PANoptosis. We consider the evidence for PANoptosis, which has been mechanistically characterized during influenza A virus, herpes simplex virus 1, Francisella novicida, and Yersinia infections, as well as in response to altered cellular homeostasis, in inflammatory diseases, and in cancers. We further discuss the role of IRF1 as an upstream regulator of PANoptosis and conclude by reexamining historical studies which lend credence to the PANoptosis concept. Cell death has been shown to play a critical role in infections, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and more; therefore, having a holistic understanding of cell death is important for identifying new therapeutic strategies.
