Yang Y, Fei Y, Xu X, Yao J, Wang J, Liu C, Ding H. Shikonin attenuates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via inhibiting NOD2/RIP2/NF-κB-mediated microglia polarization and neuroinflammation. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107689. [PMID: 38527567 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiological process of multiple neurological disorders such as ischemic stroke, which still lacks effective therapeutic agents. Shikonin possesses anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. However, its underlying mechanism remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate whether Shikonin confers protection against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by modulating microglial polarization and elucidate the associated mechanisms. METHODS This study employed an oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) BV2 microglial cellular model and a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) animal model to investigate the protection and underlying mechanism of Shikonin against ischemic stroke. RESULTS The results demonstrated that Shikonin treatment significantly reduced brain infarction volume and improved neurological function in MCAO/R rats. Simultaneously, Shikonin treatment significantly reduced microglial proinflammatory phenotype and levels of proinflammatory markers (inducible-NO synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and IL-6), increased microglial anti-inflammatory phenotype and levels of anti-inflammatory markers (Arginase-1 (Arg1), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and IL-10), reversed the expression of Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) and phosphorylation receptor interacting protein 2 (p-RIP2), and suppressed nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling activation in the ischemic penumbra regions. These effects of Shikonin were further corroborated in OGD/R-treated BV2 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of NOD2 markedly attenuated the neuroprotective effects of Shikonin treatment in MCAO/R rats. NOD2 overexpression also attenuated the regulatory effects of Shikonin on neuroinflammation, microglial polarization, and NF-κB signaling activation. CONCLUSION This study illustrates that Shikonin mitigates inflammation mediated by microglial proinflammatory polarization by inhibiting the NOD2/RIP2/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby exerting a protective role. The findings uncover a potential molecular mechanism for Shikonin in treating ischemic stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Synovial inflammation, which precedes other pathological changes in osteoarthritis (OA), is primarily initiated by activation and M1 polarization of macrophages. While macrophages play a pivotal role in the inflammatory process of OA, the mechanisms underlying their activation and polarization remain incompletely elucidated. This study aims to investigate the role of NOD2 as a reciprocal modulator of HMGB1/TLR4 signaling in macrophage activation and polarization during OA pathogenesis. DESIGN We examined NOD2 expression in the synovium and determined the impact of NOD2 on macrophage activation and polarization by knockdown and overexpression models in vitro. Paracrine effect of macrophages on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and chondrocytes was evaluated under conditions of NOD2 overexpression. Additionally, the in vivo effect of NOD2 was assessed using collagenase VII induced OA model in mice. RESULTS Expression of NOD2 was elevated in osteoarthritic synovium. In vitro experiments demonstrated that NOD2 serves as a negative regulator of HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway. Furthermore, NOD2 overexpression hampered the inflammatory paracrine effect of macrophages on FLS and chondrocytes. In vivo experiments revealed that NOD2 overexpression mitigated OA in mice. CONCLUSIONS Supported by convincing evidence on the inhibitory role of NOD2 in modulating the activation and M1 polarization of synovial macrophages, this study provided novel insights into the involvement of innate immunity in OA pathogenesis and highlighted NOD2 as a potential target for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2) plays a critical role in the transduction of many signaling pathways and is associated with many diseases. Alternative splicing (AS) is an essential and ubiquitous regulatory mechanism of gene expression that contributes to distinct transcript variants and many different kinds of proteins. In this present study, we characterized genome-wide AS events in wild-type chicken macrophages (WT) and RIP2 overexpression/knockdown chicken macrophages (oeRIP2/shRIP2) by high-throughput RNA sequencing technology. A total of 1901, 2061, and 817 differentially expressed (DE) AS genes were identified in the comparison of oeRIP2 vs. WT, oeRIP2 vs. shRIP2, and shRIP2 vs. WT, respectively. These DE AS genes participated in many important KEGG pathways, including regulation of autophagy, Wnt signaling pathway, Ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, MAPK signaling pathway, and Focal adhesion, etc. In conclusion, this research provided a broad atlas of the genome-wide scale of the AS event landscape in RIP2 overexpression/knockdown and wild-type chicken macrophages. This research also provides the theoretical basis of the gene network related to RIP2.

Abstract
Innate immune adaptor proteins are critical components of the innate immune system that propagate pro-inflammatory responses from their upstream receptors, and lead to pathogen clearance from the host. Bacterial pathogens have developed strategies to survive inside host cells without triggering the innate immune surveillance in ways that are still not fully understood. Here, it is reported that Pseudomonas aeruginosa induces its quorum sensing mechanism after macrophage engulfment. Further investigation of its secretome identified a quorum sensing regulated product, LasB, is responsible for innate immune suppression depending on the MyD88-mediated signaling. Moreover, it is showed that this specific type of pathogen-mediated innate immune suppression is due to the enzymatic digestion of the death domains of the innate immune adaptors, mainly MyD88, and attributed to LasB's large substrate binding groove. Lastly, it is demonstrated that the secretion of LasB from P. aeruginosa directly contributed to MyD88 degradation within macrophages. Hence, it is discovered an example of bacterial quorum sensing-regulated cellular innate immune suppression by direct cleavage of immune adaptors.

Abstract
Receptor interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) is a downstream signaling molecule essential for the activation of several innate immune receptors, including the NOD-like receptors (NOD1 and NOD2). Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular pattern proteins by NOD1/2 leads to their interaction with RIPK2, which induces release of pro-inflammatory cytokines through the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways, among others. Thus, RIPK2 has emerged as a key mediator of intracellular signal transduction and represents a new potential therapeutic target for the treatment of various conditions, including inflammatory diseases and cancer. In this Perspective, first, an overview of the mechanisms that underlie RIPK2 function will be presented along with its role in several diseases. Then, the existing inhibitors that target RIPK2 and different therapeutic strategies will be reviewed, followed by a discussion on current challenges and outlook.

Abstract
RIPK2 is an essential adaptor for NOD signalling and its kinase domain is a drug target for NOD-related diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease. However, recent work indicates that the phosphorylation activity of RIPK2 is dispensable for signalling and that inhibitors of both RIPK2 activity and RIPK2 ubiquitination prevent the essential interaction between RIPK2 and the BIR2 domain of XIAP, the key RIPK2 ubiquitin E3 ligase. Moreover, XIAP BIR2 antagonists also block this interaction. To reveal the molecular mechanisms involved, we combined native mass spectrometry, NMR, and cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structure of the RIPK2 kinase BIR2 domain complex and validated the interface with in cellulo assays. The structure shows that BIR2 binds across the RIPK2 kinase antiparallel dimer and provides an explanation for both inhibitory mechanisms. It also highlights why phosphorylation of the kinase activation loop is dispensable for signalling while revealing the structural role of RIPK2-K209 residue in the RIPK2-XIAP BIR2 interaction. Our results clarify the features of the RIPK2 conformation essential for its role as a scaffold protein for ubiquitination.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing proteins, NOD1 and NOD2, are cytosolic receptors that recognize dipeptides and tripeptides derived from the bacterial cell wall component peptidoglycan (PGN). During the past two decades, studies have revealed several roles for NODs beyond detecting PGN fragments, including activation of an innate immune anti-viral response, NOD-mediated autophagy, and ER stress induced inflammation. Recent studies have also clarified the dynamic regulation of NODs at cellular membranes to generate specific and balanced immune responses. This review will describe how NOD1 and NOD2 detect microbes and cellular stress and detail the molecular mechanisms that regulate activation and signaling while highlighting new evidence and the impact on inflammatory disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Obesity increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases and induces cardiomyopathy. Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in obesity-induced cardiomyopathy and may provide new therapeutic targets for this disease. Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is an important target for cancer therapy and the role of DCLK1 in obesity and cardiovascular diseases is unclear. Herein, we showed that DCLK1 was overexpressed in the cardiac tissue of obese mice and investigated the role of DCLK1 in obesity-induced cardiomyopathy. We generated DCLK1-deleted mice and showed that macrophage-specific DCLK1 knockout, rather than cardiomyocyte-specific DCLK1 knockout, prevented high-fat diet (HFD)-induced heart dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, and fibrosis. RNA sequencing analysis showed that DCLK1 deficiency exerted cardioprotective effects by suppressing RIP2/TAK1 activation and inflammatory responses in macrophages. Upon HFD/palmitate (PA) challenge, macrophage DCLK1 mediates RIP2/TAK1 phosphorylation and subsequent inflammatory cytokine release, which further promotes hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes and fibrogenesis in fibroblasts. Finally, a pharmacological inhibitor of DCLK1 significantly protects hearts in HFD-fed mice. Our study demonstrates a novel role and a pro-inflammatory mechanism of macrophage DCLK1 in obesity-induced cardiomyopathy and identifies DCLK1 as a new therapeutic target for the treatment of this disease. Upon HFD/PA challenge, DCLK1 induces RIP2/TAK1-mediated inflammatory response in macrophages, which subsequently promotes cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Macrophage-specific DCLK1 deletion or pharmacological inhibition of DCLK1 protects hearts in HFD-fed mice.

Abstract
Receptor Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinase 2 (RIPK2) is an essential regulator of the inflammatory process and immune response. In innate immunity, the NOD-RIPK2 signaling axis is an important pathway that directly mediates inflammation and immune response. In adaptive immunity, RIPK2 may affect T cell proliferation, differentiation and cellular homeostasis thereby involving T cell-driven autoimmunity, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Recent advances suggest a key role of RIPK2 in diverse autoimmune diseases (ADs) such as inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Behcet's disease. This review aims to provide valuable therapeutic direction for ADs by focusing on the function and modulation of RIPK2 in innate and adaptive immunity, its involvement with various ADs and the application of RIPK2-related drugs in ADs. We raise the notion that drug targeting RIPK2 could be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ADs, though much work remains to be done for clinical application.

Selective autophagy of RIPosomes maintains innate immune homeostasis during bacterial infection. EMBO J 2022; 41:e111289.

Abstract
The NOD1/2-RIPK2 is a key cytosolic signaling complex that activates NF-κB pro-inflammatory response against invading pathogens. However, uncontrolled NF-κB signaling can cause tissue damage leading to chronic diseases. The mechanisms by which the NODs-RIPK2-NF-κB innate immune axis is activated and resolved remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial infection induces the formation of endogenous RIPK2 oligomers (RIPosomes) that are self-assembling entities that coat the bacteria to induce NF-κB response. Next, we show that autophagy proteins IRGM and p62/SQSTM1 physically interact with NOD1/2, RIPK2 and RIPosomes to promote their selective autophagy and limit NF-κB activation. IRGM suppresses RIPK2-dependent pro-inflammatory programs induced by Shigella and Salmonella. Consistently, the therapeutic inhibition of RIPK2 ameliorates Shigella infection- and DSS-induced gut inflammation in Irgm1 KO mice. This study identifies a unique mechanism where the innate immune proteins and autophagy machinery are recruited together to the bacteria for defense as well as for maintaining immune homeostasis.

Abstract
The innate immune system recognizes pathogen-associated molecular motifs through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that induce inflammasome assembly in macrophages and trigger signal transduction pathways, thereby leading to the transcription of inflammatory cytokine genes. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) represent a family of cytosolic PRRs involved in the detection of intracellular pathogens such as mycobacteria or viruses. In this review, we discuss the role of NOD1, NOD2, and NLRC5 receptors in regulating antiviral and antimycobacterial immune responses by providing insight into molecular mechanisms as well as their potential health and disease implications.

Abstract
Lung inflammation can be caused by pathogen infection alone or by allergic disease, leading to pneumonitis. Most of the allergens (antigens) that cause allergic lung diseases, including asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), are derived from microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, but some inorganic materials, such as mercury, can also cause pneumonitis. Certain allergens, including food and pollen, can also cause acute allergic reactions and lead to lung inflammation in individuals predisposed to such reactions. Pattern recognition-associated and damage-associated signaling by these allergens can be critical in determining the type of hypersensitization and allergic disease, as well as the potential for fibrosis and irreversible lung damage. This review discusses the signs, symptoms, and etiology of allergic asthma, and HP. Furthermore, we review the immune response and signaling pathways involved in pneumonitis due to both microbial infection and allergic processes. We also discuss current and potential therapeutic interventions for infection-associated and allergic lung inflammation.

Abstract
Animals and plants have NLRs (nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors) that recognize the presence of pathogens and initiate innate immune responses. In plants, there are three types of NLRs distinguished by their N-terminal domain: the CC (coiled-coil) domain NLRs, the TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domain NLRs and the RPW8 (resistance to powdery mildew 8)-like coiled-coil domain NLRs. CC-NLRs (CNLs) and TIR-NLRs (TNLs) generally act as sensors of effectors secreted by pathogens, while RPW8-NLRs (RNLs) signal downstream of many sensor NLRs and are called helper NLRs. Recent studies have revealed three dimensional structures of a CNL (ZAR1) including its inactive, intermediate and active oligomeric state, as well as TNLs (RPP1 and ROQ1) in their active oligomeric states. Furthermore, accumulating evidence suggests that members of the family of lipase-like EDS1 (enhanced disease susceptibility 1) proteins, which are uniquely found in seed plants, play a key role in providing a link between sensor NLRs and helper NLRs during innate immune responses. Here, we summarize the implications of the plant NLR structures that provide insights into distinct mechanisms of action by the different sensor NLRs and discuss plant NLR-mediated innate immune signalling pathways involving the EDS1 family proteins and RNLs.

Abstract
Ubc13-catalyzed K63 ubiquitination is a major control point for immune signaling. Recent evidence has shown that the control of multiple immune functions, including chronic inflammation, pathogen responses, lymphocyte activation, and regulatory signaling, is altered by K63 ubiquitination. In this review, we detail the novel cellular sensors that are dependent on K63 ubiquitination for their function in the immune signaling network. Many pathogens, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can target K63 ubiquitination to inhibit pathogen immune responses; we describe novel details of the pathways involved and summarize recent clinically relevant SARS-CoV-2-specific responses. We also discuss recent evidence that regulatory T cell (Treg) versus T helper (TH) 1 and TH17 cell subset regulation might involve K63 ubiquitination. Knowledge gaps that merit future investigation and clinically relevant pathways are also addressed.

Abstract
The receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase-2 (RIPK2, RIP2) is a key player in downstream signaling of nuclear oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR)-mediated innate immune response against bacterial infections. RIPK2 is recruited following activation of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) NOD1 and NOD2 by sensing bacterial peptidoglycans leading to activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Upon NOD1/2 activation, RIPK2 forms complexes in the cytoplasm of human cells, also called RIPosomes. These can be induced by Shigella flexneri or by the inhibition of RIPK2 by small compounds, such as GSK583 and gefitinib.In this chapter, we describe fluorescent light microscopic and Western blot approaches to analyze the cytoplasmic aggregation of RIPK2 upon infection with the invasive, Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri, or by the treatment with RIPK2 inhibitors. This method is based on HeLa cells stably expressing eGFP-tagged RIPK2 and describes a protocol to induce and visualize RIPosome formation. The described method is useful to study the deposition of RIPK2 in speck-like structures, also in living cells, using live cell imaging and can be adopted for the study of other inhibitory proteins or to further analyze the process of RIPosome structure assembly.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) recognizes the muramyl dipeptide and activates the NF-κB signaling cascade following its interaction with receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2) via caspase recruitment domains (CARDs). The NOD2-RIP2 interaction is not understood well due to inadequate structural information. Using comparative modeling and multimicrosecond timescale molecular dynamics simulations, we have demonstrated the association of NOD2-CARDs (CARDa-CARDb) and their interaction with RIP2CARD. Our results suggest that a negatively charged interface of NOD2CARDa and positively charged type-Ia interface of NOD2CARDb are crucial for CARDa-CARDb association and the type-Ia interface of NOD2CARDa and type-Ib interface of RIP2CARD predicted to be involved in 1:1 CARD-CARD interaction. Moreover, the direct interaction of NOD2CARDb with RIP2CARD signifies the importance of both CARDs of NOD2 in RIP2-mediated CARD-CARD interaction. Altogether, the structural results could help in understanding the underlying molecular details of the NOD2-RIP2 association in higher and lower eukaryotes.

Abstract
Cell death is an essential immunological apparatus of host defense, but dysregulation of mutually inclusive cell deaths poses severe threats during microbial and parasitic infections leading to deleterious consequences in the pathological progression of infectious diseases. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-Leucine-rich repeats (LRR)-containing receptors (NLRs), also called nucleotide-binding oligomerization (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), are major cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), their involvement in the orchestration of innate immunity and host defense against bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, often results in the cleavage of gasdermin and the release of IL-1β and IL-18, should be tightly regulated. NLRs are functionally diverse and tissue-specific PRRs expressed by both immune and non-immune cells. Beyond the inflammasome activation, NLRs are also involved in NF-κB and MAPK activation signaling, the regulation of type I IFN (IFN-I) production and the inflammatory cell death during microbial infections. Recent advancements of NLRs biology revealed its possible interplay with pyroptotic cell death and inflammatory mediators, such as caspase 1, caspase 11, IFN-I and GSDMD. This review provides the most updated information that caspase 8 skews the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in PANoptosis during pathogen infection. We also update multidimensional roles of NLRP12 in regulating innate immunity in a content-dependent manner: novel interference of NLRP12 on TLRs and NOD derived-signaling cascade, and the recently unveiled regulatory property of NLRP12 in production of type I IFN. Future prospects of exploring NLRs in controlling cell death during parasitic and microbial infection were highlighted.

Abstract
The receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 (RIPK2) is essential for signal transduction induced by the pattern recognition receptors NOD1 and NOD2 (referred to collectively as NOD1/2). Upon NOD1/2 activation, RIPK2 forms complexes in the cytoplasm of human cells. Here, we identified the molecular composition of these complexes. Infection with Shigella flexneri to activate NOD1-RIPK2 revealed that RIPK2 formed dynamic interactions with several cellular proteins, including A20 (also known as TNFAIP3), erlin-1, erlin-2 and 14-3-3. Whereas interaction of RIPK2 with 14-3-3 proteins was strongly reduced upon infection with Shigella, erlin-1 and erlin-2 (erlin-1/2) specifically bound to RIPK2 complexes. The interaction of these proteins with RIPK2 was validated using protein binding assays and immunofluorescence staining. Beside bacterial activation of NOD1/2, depletion of the E3 ubiquitin ligase XIAP and treatment with RIPK2 inhibitors also led to the formation of RIPK2 cytosolic complexes. Although erlin-1/2 were recruited to RIPK2 complexes following XIAP inhibition, these proteins did not associate with RIPK2 structures induced by RIPK2 inhibitors. While the specific recruitment of erlin-1/2 to RIPK2 suggests a role in innate immune signaling, the biological response regulated by the erlin-1/2-RIPK2 association remains to be determined.

Abstract
The rapid and dynamic activation of the innate immune system is achieved through complex signaling networks regulated by post-translational modifications modulating the subcellular localization, activity, and abundance of signaling molecules. Many constitutively expressed signaling molecules are present in the cell in inactive forms, and become functionally activated once they are modified with ubiquitin, and, in turn, inactivated by removal of the same post-translational mark. Moreover, upon infection resolution a rapid remodeling of the proteome needs to occur, ensuring the removal of induced response proteins to prevent hyperactivation. This review discusses the current knowledge on the negative regulation of innate immune signaling pathways by deubiquitinating enzymes, and through degradative ubiquitination. It focusses on spatiotemporal regulation of deubiquitinase and E3 ligase activities, mechanisms for re-establishing proteostasis, and degradation through immune-specific feedback mechanisms vs. general protein quality control pathways.

Abstract
Pro-inflammatory caspase-1 is a key player in innate immunity. Caspase-1 processes interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 to their mature forms and triggers pyroptosis. These caspase-1 functions are linked to its enzymatic activity. However, loss-of-function missense mutations in CASP1 do not prevent autoinflammation in patients, despite decreased IL-1β production. In vitro data suggest that enzymatically inactive caspase-1 drives inflammation via enhanced nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation, independent of IL-1β processing. Here, we report two mouse models of enzymatically inactive caspase-1-C284A, demonstrating the relevance of this pathway in vivo. In contrast to Casp1-/- mice, caspase-1-C284A mice show pronounced hypothermia and increased levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and IL-6 when challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Caspase-1-C284A signaling is RIP2 dependent and mediated by TNF-α but independent of the NLRP3 inflammasome. LPS-stimulated whole blood from patients carrying loss-of-function missense mutations in CASP1 secretes higher amounts of TNF-α. Taken together, these results reveal non-canonical caspase-1 signaling in vivo.

Gong Q, Robinson K, Xu C, Huynh PT, Chong KHC, Tan EYJ, Zhang J, Boo ZZ, Teo DET, Lay K, Zhang Y, Lim JSY, Goh WI, Wright G, Zhong FL, Reversade B, Wu B. Structural basis for distinct inflammasome complex assembly by human NLRP1 and CARD8. Nat Commun 2021; 12:188. [PMID: 33420028 PMCID: PMC7794362 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-20319-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Nod-like receptor (NLR) proteins activate pyroptotic cell death and IL-1 driven inflammation by assembling and activating the inflammasome complex. Closely related sensor proteins NLRP1 and CARD8 undergo unique auto-proteolysis-dependent activation and are implicated in auto-inflammatory diseases; however, their mechanisms of activation are not understood. Here we report the structural basis of how the activating domains (FIINDUPA-CARD) of NLRP1 and CARD8 self-oligomerize to assemble distinct inflammasome complexes. Recombinant FIINDUPA-CARD of NLRP1 forms a two-layered filament, with an inner core of oligomerized CARD surrounded by an outer ring of FIINDUPA. Biochemically, self-assembled NLRP1-CARD filaments are sufficient to drive ASC speck formation in cultured human cells-a process that is greatly enhanced by NLRP1-FIINDUPA which forms oligomers in vitro. The cryo-EM structures of NLRP1-CARD and CARD8-CARD filaments, solved here at 3.7 Å, uncover unique structural features that enable NLRP1 and CARD8 to discriminate between ASC and pro-caspase-1. In summary, our findings provide structural insight into the mechanisms of activation for human NLRP1 and CARD8 and reveal how highly specific signaling can be achieved by heterotypic CARD interactions within the inflammasome complexes.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2) is a kinase that is involved in downstream signaling of nuclear oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors NOD1 and 2 sensing bacterial peptidoglycans. RIP2-deficiency or targeting of RIP2 by pharmaceutical inhibitors partially ameliorates inflammatory diseases by reducing pro-inflammatory signaling in response to peptidoglycans. However, RIP2 is widely expressed and interacts with several other proteins suggesting additional functions outside the NOD-signaling pathway. In this review, we discuss the immunological functions of RIP2 and its possible role in autoinflammation and immunity.

Paeoniflorin ameliorates experimental colitis by inhibiting gram-positive bacteria-dependent MDP-NOD2 pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 90:107224.

Abstract
Previous studies reported that antibiotics inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and alleviate ulcerative colitis (UC). But how Gram-positive bacteria are involved in the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and which component of it causes inflammation remain unclear. This work aims to demonstrate that Gram-positive bacteria may be an underlying cause of experimental colitis in mice through the muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein-2 (NOD2) pathway and paeoniflorin inhibits the pathway above to alleviate experimental colitis. In this study, colitis mice were established by oral administration of 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and paeoniflorin (25, 50,100 mg/kg per day, ig) was administered to the mice for 10 days. Results shown that the abundance and the infiltration of Gram-positive bacteria in intestinal tissues increased in UC mice. Paeoniflorin treatment significantly alleviated DSS-induced experimental colitis mice, reduced the abundance of Gram-positive bacteria in feces and the infiltration of Gram-positive bacteria in intestinal tissues. Paeoniflorin also inhibited mRNA and protein expression of MDP-NOD2 pathway components and decreased the levels of related inflammatory cytokines. In vitro experiments showed that MDP strongly stimulated RAW264.7 cells to secrete tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and induced translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB p65) from the cytoplasm to nucleus using immunofluorescence co-localization experiments. Overall, the results indicated that Gram-positive bacteria promote the occurrence of colitis via up-regulation of MDP-NOD2 pathway, and paeoniflorin is able to decrease the infiltration of Gram-positive bacteria in intestine and inhibit Gram-positive bacteria-dependent MDP-NOD2 pathway to alleviate mice colitis.

Abstract
Signaling via the intracellular pathogen receptors nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing proteins NOD1 and NOD2 requires receptor interacting kinase 2 (RIPK2), an adaptor kinase that can be targeted for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of how RIPK2 contributes to NOD signaling are not completely understood. We generated FLAG-tagged RIPK2 knock-in mice using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to study NOD signaling mechanisms at the endogenous level. Using cells from these mice, we were able to generate a detailed map of post-translational modifications on RIPK2. Similar to other reports, we did not detect ubiquitination of RIPK2 lysine 209 during NOD2 signaling. However, using site-directed mutagenesis we identified a new regulatory region on RIPK2, which dictates the crucial interaction with the E3 ligase XIAP and downstream signaling outcomes.

Abstract
Receptor Interacting Protein Kinases (RIPKs) are a family of Ser/Thr/Tyr kinases whose functions, regulation and pathophysiologic roles have remained an enigma for a long time. In recent years, these proteins garnered significant interest due to their roles in regulating a variety of host defense functions including control of inflammatory gene expression, different forms of cell death, and cutaneous and intestinal barrier functions. In addition, there is accumulating evidence that while these kinases seemingly follow typical kinase blueprints, their functioning in cells can take forms that are atypical for protein kinases. Lastly, while these kinases generally belong to distinct areas of innate immune regulation, there are emerging overarching themes that may unify the functions of this kinase family. Our review seeks to discuss the biology of RIPKs, and how typical and atypical features of this family informs the activity of a rapidly growing repertoire of RIPK inhibitors.

Abstract
It has been long recognized that NOD1 and NOD2 are critical players in the host immune response, primarily by their sensing bacterial peptidoglycan-conserved motifs. Significant advances have been made from efforts that characterize their upstream activators, assembly of signaling complexes, and activation of downstream signaling pathways. Disruption in NOD1 and NOD2 signaling has also been associated with impaired host defense and resistance to the development of inflammatory diseases. In this review, we will describe how NOD1 and NOD2 sense microbes and cellular stress to regulate host responses that can affect disease pathogenesis and outcomes.

Abstract
Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) occurs at an early age and causes rapid periodontal tissue destruction. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) encodes a protein with two caspase recruitment domains and eleven leucine-rich repeats. This protein is expressed mainly in peripheral blood leukocytes and is involved in immune response. NOD2 variants have been associated with increased susceptibility to Crohn's disease, and recently, NOD2 was reported as a causative gene in AgP. The present study aimed to identify potential NOD2 variants in an AgP cohort (a total of 101 patiens: 37 patients with positive family histories and 64 sporadic patients). In the familial group, six patients from two families had a reported heterozygous missense variant (c.C931T, p.R311W). Four patients in the sporadic group had a heterozygous missense variant (c.C1411T, p.R471C), with no reported association to the disease. Overall, two NOD2 variants, were identified in 10% of our AgP cohort. These variants were different from the major variants reported in Crohn's disease. More cases need to be investigated to elucidate the role of NOD2 variants in AgP pathology.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation with persistent respiratory symptoms. Current therapeutics for COPD are largely borrowed from the drug armamentarium for the treatment of asthma, which has different pathophysiological mechanisms from COPD. COPD has been linked to dysregulated expression of mRNAs and noncoding (nc)RNAs including miRNAs, PIWI-interacting (pi)RNAs, long noncoding (lnc)RNAs, and circular (circ)RNAs. This review highlights and discusses some recent advances towards development of RNA therapeutics for COPD.

Abstract
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1/B7-H1) serves as a cosignaling molecule in cell-mediated immune responses and contributes to chronicity of inflammation and the escape of tumor cells from immunosurveillance. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms leading to PD-L1 upregulation in human oral carcinoma cells and in primary human gingival keratinocytes in response to infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a keystone pathogen for the development of periodontitis. The bacterial cell wall component peptidoglycan uses bacterial outer membrane vesicles to be taken up by cells. Internalized peptidoglycan triggers cytosolic receptors to induce PD-L1 expression in a myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (Myd88)-independent and receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (RIP2)-dependent fashion. Interference with the kinase activity of RIP2 or mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases interferes with inducible PD-L1 expression.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cell death of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is extensively involved in atherosclerotic plaque stabilization. We previously reported that nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 2 (NOD2) participated in vascular homeostasis and tissue injury. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of NOD2 remain unknown in ER stress-induced cell death of VSMC during vascular diseases, including advanced atherosclerosis. Here, we report that NOD2 specifically interacted with ER stress sensor activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and suppressed the expression of proapoptotic transcription factor CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein) during ER stress. CHOP-positive cells were increased in neointimal lesions after femoral artery injury in NOD2-deficient mice. In particular, a NOD2 ligand, MDP, and overexpression of NOD2 decreased CHOP expression in wild-type VSMCs. NOD2 interacted with an ER stress sensor molecule, ATF6, and acted as a negative regulator for ATF6 activation and its downstream target molecule, CHOP, that regulates ER stress-induced apoptosis. Moreover, NOD2 deficiency promoted disruption of advanced atherosclerotic lesions and CHOP expression in NOD2-/- ApoE-/- mice. Our findings indicate an unsuspected critical role for NOD2 in ER stress-induced cell death.

Abstract
Supramolecular organizing center (SMOC)-mediated signal transduction is an emerging concept in the field of signal transduction that is ushering in a new era. The formation of location-specific, higher-order SMOCs is particularly important for cell death and innate immune signaling processes. Several protein interaction domains, including the death domain (DD) superfamily and the CIDE domain, are representative mediators of SMOC assembly in cell death and innate immune signaling pathways. DD superfamily- and CIDE domain-containing proteins form SMOCs that activate various caspases and provide signaling scaffold platforms. These assemblies can lead to signal transduction and amplification during signaling events. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the molecular basis of DD superfamily- and CIDE domain-mediated SMOC formation. Improved understanding of large molecular signaling complexes that form during innate (nonspecific) immune responses could help develop treatments for multiple diseases including cancer. Correct cell signaling requires precise protein interactions and binding, which are mediated by specific sites on the surface of the protein molecules involved. Innate immune responses and cell death mechanisms rely on such protein interactions, and defects can cause signaling abnormalities and trigger disease. Hyun Ho Park and co-workers at Chung-Ang University in Seoul, South Korea, reviewed recent insights into the presence of supramolecular organizing centers (SMOCs), localized complexes of signaling proteins that form during immune responses. The researchers highlight existing understanding of SMOC assembly processes. A better understanding of SMOCs will help to explain enzyme activation, signal amplification and cell signaling control mechanisms.

Int J Oncol 2020; 56:1225-1239.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EnC) is a malignant gynecological tumor commonly observed in developed countries, specifically among post‑menopausal women. Although numerous patients with EnC receive promising prognoses, those with advanced or metastatic disease often have a poor prognosis and an impaired quality of life. Tripartite motif‑containing 22 (TRIM22) has been confirmed to play many crucial roles in different biological processes, from inflammatory to tumorigenesis. However, the multifaceted roles of TRIM22 in EnC remain uncharacterized. Herein, comparing normal endometrial tissues with tumor tissues obtained from patients, it was concluded that TRIM22 expression was decreased in tumor tissues. However, the overexpression of TRIM22 served to inhibit the migratory, invasive, proliferative and cell cycle activity of EnC cells. Moreover, the knockdown of TRIM22 increased the migratory, invasive, and proliferative activity of the EnC cells. Furthermore, it was found that TRIM22 effectively suppressed EnC progression through the nucleotide binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2)/nuclear factor (NF)‑κB pathway. The data also demonstrated that TRIM22 functions as an inhibitor of EnC tumor xenograft growth in vivo. Overall, the findings of the present study define a novel regulatory role for TRIM22 in EnC progression. Moreover, TRIM22 may serve as an important prognostic predictor for EnC.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence links Fusobacterium nucleatum with ulcerative colitis (UC). The mechanism by which F. nucleatum promotes intestinal inflammation in UC remains poorly defined. Here, we first examined the abundance and impact of F. nucleatum on disease activity in UC tissues. Next, we isolated a strain of F. nucleatum from UC tissues and explored whether F. nucleatum aggravates the intestinal inflammatory response in vitro and in vivo. We also examined whether F. nucleatum infection involves the NF-κB or IL-17F signaling pathways. Our data showed that F. nucleatum was enriched in 51.78% of UC tissues and was correlated with the clinical course, clinical activity and refractory behavior of UC (p < 0.05). Furthermore, we demonstrated that F. nucleatum promoted intestinal epithelial damage and the expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, Il-6, IL-17F and TNF-α. Mechanistically, F. nucleatum targeted caspase activation and recruitment domain 3 (CARD3) through NOD2 to activate the IL-17F/NF-κB pathway in vivo and in vitro. Thus, F. nucleatum orchestrates a molecular network involving CARD3 and IL-17F to control the UC process. Measuring and targeting F. nucleatum and its associated pathways will yield valuable insight into the prevention and treatment of UC. © 2019 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Abstract
The discovery of defined peptidoglycan metabolites that activate host immunity and their specific receptors has revealed fundamental insights into host-microbe recognition and afforded new opportunities for therapeutic development against infection and cancer. In this review, we summarise the discovery of two key peptidoglycan metabolites, γ-d-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP) and muramyl dipeptide and their respective receptors, Nod1 and Nod2, and review progress towards translating these findings into therapeutic agents. Notably, synthetic derivatives of peptidoglycan metabolites have already yielded approved drugs for chemotherapy-induced leukopenia and paediatric osteosarcoma; however, the broad effects of peptidoglycan metabolites on host immunity suggest additional translational opportunities for new therapeutics towards other cancers, microbial infections and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
NOD1 and NOD2 belong to the family of intracellular Nod-like receptors (NLRs) that are involved in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and host defense against bacteria and some viruses. When sensing such microbes, those NLRs act as hitherto scaffolding proteins for activating multiple downstream inflammatory signaling pathways to promote the production of cytokines and chemokines that are ultimately important for pathogen clearance. In recent years, substantial advances have been made on our understanding of a contextual series of intracellular processes that regulate such group of innate immune molecules, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Specifically, we will herein discuss those recently described posttranslational modifications of either NOD1 or NOD2 that fundamentally contribute to the robustness of protective responses within specific tissues through either internal domain association or external interactions with various proteins. From a public health perspective, it is then anticipated that a better understanding how genetic mutations and deregulation of these activating and repressing mechanisms might break down in diseases would open up new therapeutic avenues for humanity.

Abstract
Herein we report the discovery of pyrazolocarboxamides as novel, potent, and kinase selective inhibitors of receptor interacting protein 2 kinase (RIP2). Fragment based screening and design principles led to the identification of the inhibitor series, and X-ray crystallography was used to inform key structural changes. Through key substitutions about the N1 and C5 N positions on the pyrazole ring significant kinase selectivity and potency were achieved. Bridged bicyclic pyrazolocarboxamide 11 represents a selective and potent inhibitor of RIP2 and will allow for a more detailed investigation of RIP2 inhibition as a therapeutic target for autoinflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Innate immune signaling and programmed cell death are intimately linked, and many signaling pathways can regulate and induce both, transcription of inflammatory mediators or autonomous cell death. The best-characterized examples for these dual outcomes are members of the TNF superfamily, the inflammasome receptors, and the toll-like receptors. Signaling via the intracellular peptidoglycan receptors NOD1 and NOD2, however, does not appear to follow this trend, despite involving signaling proteins, or proteins with domains that are linked to programmed cell death, such as RIP kinases, inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins or the CARD domains on NOD1/2. To better understand the connections between NOD signaling and cell death induction, we here review the latest findings on the molecular regulation of signaling downstream of the NOD receptors and explore the links between this immune signaling pathway and the regulation of cell death.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of lnc-ITSN1-2 knockdown on cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation and mRNA expression patterns in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), and the correlation of its synovium tissue expression with disease risk, inflammatory cytokines and disease activity of RA. Control shRNA plasmids and lnc-ITSN1-2 shRNA plasmids were transfected into RA FLS, and then cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory cytokines expressions were evaluated. Subsequently, mRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were conducted, and rescue experiment of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) mRNA overexpression on alleviating the functions of lnc-ITSN1-2 was performed. Additionally, lnc-ITSN1-2 and NOD2 mRNA expressions in synovial tissue in 30 RA patients and 15 controls were measured. Lnc-ITSN1-2 expression was increased in RA FLS compared with normal FLS. Lnc-ITSN1-2 knockdown inhibited RA FLS proliferation and inflammation while promoted RA FLS apoptosis. mRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses revealed 144 upregulated and 98 downregulated genes by lnc-ITSN1-2 knockdown, which were enriched in regulating inflammatory responses and cytokines related pathways. NOD2 was selected for rescue experiment, which disclosed that upregulating NOD2 alleviated the effect of lnc-ITSN1-2 knockdown on cell proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation in RA FLS. In addition, synovial tissue lnc-ITSN1-2 positively associated with NOD2 mRNA, and both of them positively correlated with disease risk, inflammation and activity of RA. Downregulation of lnc-ITSN1-2 correlates with decreased disease risk and activity of RA, and reduces RA FLS proliferation and inflammation via regulating NOD2/RIP2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Membraneless organelles (MLOs) are liquid-like subcellular compartments providing spatiotemporal control to biological processes. This study reveals that cellular stress leads to the incorporation of the adaptor protein SINTBAD (TBKBP1) into membraneless, cytosolic speckles. Determination of the interactome identified >100 proteins forming constitutive and stress-inducible members of an MLO that we termed SINT-speckles. SINT-speckles partially colocalize with activated TBK1, and deletion of SINTBAD and the SINT-speckle component AZI2 leads to impaired TBK1 phosphorylation. Dynamic formation of SINT-speckles is positively controlled by the acetyltransferase KAT2A (GCN5) and antagonized by heat shock protein-mediated chaperone activity. SINT-speckle formation is also inhibited by the autophagy-initiating kinases ULK1/2, and knockdown of these kinases prevented focal TBK1 phosphorylation in a pathway-specific manner. The phlebovirus-encoded non-structural protein S enhances ULK1-mediated TBK1 phosphorylation and shows a stress-induced translocation to SINT-speckles, raising the possibility that viruses can also target this signaling hub to manipulate host cell functions.

Abstract
This study provides evidence that the NOD1/2-associated kinase RIPK2 localizes to detergent insoluble cytosolic complexes upon activation and suggests novel regulatory mechanisms for RIPK2 signaling. The receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 (RIPK2) is essential for linking activation of the pattern recognition receptors NOD1 and NOD2 to cellular signaling events. Recently, it was shown that RIPK2 can form higher order molecular structures in vitro. Here, we demonstrate that RIPK2 forms detergent insoluble complexes in the cytosol of host cells upon infection with invasive enteropathogenic bacteria. Formation of these structures occurred after NF-κB activation and depended on the caspase activation and recruitment domain of NOD1 or NOD2. Complex formation upon activation required RIPK2 autophosphorylation at Y474 and was influenced by phosphorylation at S176. We found that the E3 ligase X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) counteracts complex formation of RIPK2, accordingly mutation of the XIAP ubiquitylation sites in RIPK2 enhanced complex formation. Taken together, our work reveals novel roles of XIAP in the regulation of RIPK2 and expands our knowledge on the function of RIPK2 posttranslational modifications in NOD1/2 signaling.

Abstract
CARD9 and CARD11 drive immune cell activation by nucleating Bcl10 polymerization, but are held in an autoinhibited state prior to stimulation. Here, we elucidate the structural basis for this autoinhibition by determining the structure of a region of CARD9 that includes an extensive interface between its caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and coiled-coil domain. We demonstrate, for both CARD9 and CARD11, that disruption of this interface leads to hyperactivation in cells and to the formation of Bcl10-templating filaments in vitro, illuminating the mechanism of action of numerous oncogenic mutations of CARD11. These structural insights enable us to characterize two similar, yet distinct, mechanisms by which autoinhibition is relieved in the course of canonical CARD9 or CARD11 activation. We also dissect the molecular determinants of helical template assembly by solving the structure of the CARD9 filament. Taken together, these findings delineate the structural mechanisms of inhibition and activation within this protein family.

Abstract
Signaling activation is a tightly regulated process involving myriad posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, ubiquitylation/deubiquitylation, proteolytical cleavage events as well as translocation of proteins to new compartments within the cell. In addition to each of these events potentially regulating individual proteins, the assembly of very large supramolecular complexes has emerged as a common theme in signal transduction and is now known to regulate many signaling events. This is particularly evident in pathways regulating both inflammation and cell death/survival. Regulation of the assembly and silencing of these complexes plays important roles in immune signaling and inflammation and the fate of cells to either die or survive. Here we will give a summary of some of the better studied supramolecular complexes involved in inflammation and cell death, particularly with a focus on diseases caused by their autoactivation and the role autophagy either plays or may be playing in their regulation.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), the first line of defense, are the cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that regulate the inflammatory activity in response to invading pathogens. NLRs are the members of AAA+ ATPase superfamily that comprises of N-terminal EBD(s), a centrally positioned NOD/NACHT and varying range of LRRs towards the C-terminal end. Due to the lack of structural data, the functional aspects of NLRP-signaling mechanism, which includes pathogen recognition, nucleotide-binding, and sensor-adaptor-effector interactions, are not fully understood. In this study, we implemented structural bioinformatics approaches including protein modeling, docking, and molecular dynamics simulations to explore the structural-dynamic features of ADP-/ATP-Mg2+ binding in NLRPNACHT models. Our results indicate a similar mode of ATP-Mg2+ binding in all NLRPNACHT models and the interacting residues are found consistent with reported mutagenesis data. Accompanied by the key amino acids (proposed to be crucial for ATP-Mg2+ coordination), we further have noticed that some additional conserved residues (including 'Trp' of the PhhCW motif, and 'Phe' and 'Tyr' of the GFxxxxRxxYF motif) are potentially interacting with ATP during dynamics; which require further experimentation for legitimacy. Overall, this study will help in understanding the ADP-/ATP-Mg2+ binding mechanisms in NLRPs in a broader perspective and the proposed ATP-binding pocket will aid in designing novel inhibitors for the regulation of inflammasome activity.
