Association between NEK1 gene polymorphisms and the potential risk of sporadic Parkinson's disease in the Chinese Northern Han population: A case-control study. Neurosci Lett 2024; 837:137913. [PMID: 39032803 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2024.137913] [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: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease (PD) has been identified as a genetically influenced disease linked to various genetic loci. Previous studies have suggested that neurodegenerative illnesses, including PD, Alzheimer's disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), may share certain genetic loci. Recently, the NEK1 gene was identified as overlapping between PD and ALS. We therefore wanted to explore the potential association between the NEK1 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the clinical features and pathophysiology of sporadic PD in a northern Chinese population. METHODS A total of 510 sporadic PD patients and 510 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. Two SNPs (rs4563461 and rs66509122) of the NEK1 gene were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). And we analyzed the association between NEK1 gene polymorphisms and clinical manifestations. RESULTS Allele T (C vs. T, P = 0.018) and genotype TT (CC vs. TT: P = 0.021) of rs66509122 among PD group and HCs were significantly different. In addition, we discovered that the rs66509122 genotype TT was associated with depression in early-onset PD (EOPD) (P = 0.031) and diabetes in female PD (P = 0.032). Unfortunately, no distinct correlation of rs4563461 polymorphisms with sporadic PD susceptibility was found in either the overall group (C vs. T, P = 0.086) or other subgroups. However, the T allele of rs4563461 was significantly correlated with sleep disorders in the PD group, especially in the late-onset PD (LOPD) group and male PD group. CONCLUSION This study found that the NEK1 rs66509122 polymorphism was associated with a lower risk of sporadic PD, while T allele of rs66509122 may be a protective factor for PD. The NEK1 rs4563461 and rs66509122 polymorphisms both showed correlations with some non-motor symptoms in sporadic PD patients. Further research with a larger sample and varied ethnic groups is needed to investigate the role of NEK1 gene polymorphisms in the pathophysiology of PD.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) is a form of cell death that can be regulated by numerous biomacromolecules. Accumulating evidence suggests that dysregulated expression and altered localization of related proteins in RCD promote the development of cancer. Targeting subroutines of RCD with pharmacological small-molecule compounds is becoming a promising therapeutic avenue for anti-tumor treatment, especially in hematological malignancies. Herein, we summarize the aberrant mechanisms of apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, PANoptosis, and ferroptosis in hematological malignancies. In particular, we focus on the relationship between cell death and tumorigenesis, anti-tumor immunotherapy, and drug resistance in hematological malignancies. Furthermore, we discuss the emerging therapeutic strategies targeting different RCD subroutines. This review aims to summarize the significance and potential mechanisms of RCD in hematological malignancies, along with the development and utilization of pertinent therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)/acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication of sepsis characterized by acute respiratory distress, hypoxemia, and diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. The regulation of RIPK1 is an important part of the inflammatory response, and cIAP1/2 serves as the E3 ubiquitin ligase for RIPK1. In this study, we investigated the effect and mechanism of cIAP1/2 inhibition on sepsis-induced lung injury. Our results showed that cIAP1/2 inhibition can alleviate sepsis-induced lung injury and reduce the inflammatory response, which is accompanied by downregulation of RIPK1 phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Additionally, cIAP1/2 inhibition led to the up-regulation of programmed cell death, including apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, and inhibiting these three cell death pathways can further reduce the inflammatory response, which is similar to the recently discovered programmed cell death pathway PANoptosis. Our findings suggest that cIAP1/2 and PANoptosis inhibition may be a new strategy for treating sepsis-induced lung injury and provide important references for further exploring the mechanism of sepsis-induced lung injury and identifying new therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Cell death plays a crucial role in various physiological and pathological processes. Until recently, programmed cell death was mainly attributed to caspase-dependent apoptosis. However, emerging evidence suggests that caspase-independent cell death (CICD) mechanisms also contribute significantly to cellular demise. We and others have reported and functionally characterized numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that modulate caspase-dependent apoptotic pathways potentially in a pathway-dependent manner. However, the interplay between lncRNAs and CICD pathways has not been comprehensively documented. One major reason for this is that most CICD pathways have been recently discovered with some being partially characterized at the molecular level. In this review, we discuss the emerging evidence that implicates specific lncRNAs in the regulation and execution of CICD. We summarize the diverse mechanisms through which lncRNAs modulate different forms of CICD, including ferroptosis, necroptosis, cuproptosis, and others. Furthermore, we highlight the intricate regulatory networks involving lncRNAs, protein-coding genes, and signaling pathways that orchestrate CICD in health and disease. Understanding the molecular mechanisms and functional implications of lncRNAs in CICD may unravel novel therapeutic targets and diagnostic tools for various diseases, paving the way for innovative strategies in disease management and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Targeting receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for various neurodegenerative disorders. The development of a positron emission tomography (PET) probe for brain RIPK1 imaging could offer a valuable tool to assess therapeutic effectiveness and uncover the neuropathology associated with RIPK1. In this study, we present the development and characterization of two new PET radioligands, [11C]PB218 and [11C]PB220, which have the potential to facilitate brain RIPK1 imaging. [11C]PB218 and [11C]PB220 were successfully synthesized with a high radiochemical yield (34 % - 42 %) and molar activity (293 - 314 GBq/µmol). PET imaging characterization of two radioligands was conducted in rodents, demonstrating that both newly developed tracers have good brain penetration (maximum SUV = 0.9 - 1.0) and appropriate brain clearance kinetic profiles. Notably, [11C]PB218 has a more favorable binding specificity than [11C]PB220. A PET/MR study of [11C]PB218 in a non-human primate exhibited good brain penetration, desirable kinetic properties, and a safe profile, thus supporting the translational applicability of our new probe. These investigations enable further translational exploration of [11C]PB218 for drug discovery and PET probe development targeting RIPK1.

Abstract
Defects in the prelamin A processing enzyme caused by loss-of-function mutations in the ZMPSTE24 gene are responsible for a spectrum of progeroid disorders characterized by the accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A. Here we report that defective prelamin A processing triggers nuclear RIPK1-dependent signalling that leads to necroptosis and inflammation. We show that accumulated prelamin A recruits RIPK1 to the nucleus to facilitate its activation upon tumour necrosis factor stimulation in ZMPSTE24-deficient cells. Kinase-activated RIPK1 then promotes RIPK3-mediated MLKL activation in the nucleus, leading to nuclear envelope disruption and necroptosis. This signalling relies on prelamin A farnesylation, which anchors prelamin A to nuclear envelope to serve as a nucleation platform for necroptosis. Genetic inactivation of necroptosis ameliorates the progeroid phenotypes in Zmpste24-/- mice. Our findings identify an unconventional nuclear necroptosis pathway resulting from ZMPSTE24 deficiency with pathogenic consequences in progeroid disorder and suggest RIPK1 as a feasible target for prelamin A-associated progeroid disorders.

Abstract
Phase separation is a vital mechanism that mediates the formation of biomolecular condensates and their functions. Necroptosis is a lytic form of programmed cell death mediated by RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL downstream of TNFR1 and has been implicated in mediating many human diseases. However, whether necroptosis is regulated by phase separation is not yet known. Here, we show that upon the induction of necroptosis and recruitment by the adaptor protein TAX1BP1, PARP5A and its binding partner RNF146 form liquid-like condensates by multivalent interactions to perform poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) and PARylation-dependent ubiquitination (PARdU) of activated RIPK1 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We show that PARdU predominantly occurs on the K376 residue of mouse RIPK1, which promotes proteasomal degradation of kinase-activated RIPK1 to restrain necroptosis. Our data demonstrate that PARdU on K376 of mouse RIPK1 provides an alternative cell death checkpoint mediated by phase separation-dependent control of necroptosis by PARP5A and RNF146.

Abstract
TNF acts as one pathogenic driver for inducing intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) death and substantial intestinal inflammation. How the IEC death is regulated to physiologically prevent intestinal inflammation needs further investigation. Here, we report that EF-hand domain-containing protein D2 (EFHD2), highly expressed in normal intestine tissues but decreased in intestinal biopsy samples of ulcerative colitis patients, protects intestinal epithelium from TNF-induced IEC apoptosis. EFHD2 inhibits TNF-induced apoptosis in primary IECs and intestinal organoids (enteroids). Mice deficient of Efhd2 in IECs exhibit excessive IEC death and exacerbated experimental colitis. Mechanistically, EFHD2 interacts with Cofilin and suppresses Cofilin phosphorylation, thus blocking TNF receptor I (TNFR1) internalization to inhibit IEC apoptosis and consequently protecting intestine from inflammation. Our findings deepen the understanding of EFHD2 as the key regulator of membrane receptor trafficking, providing insight into death receptor signals and autoinflammatory diseases.

N-arachidonoylphenolamine (AM404) is a paracetamol lipid metabolite that has pleiotropic activity to modulate the endocannabinoid system. However, the protective role of AM404 in modulating I/R-mediated myocardial damage and the underlying mechanism remain largely unknown. A murine I/R model was generated by occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. AM404 (20 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into mice at 2 and 24 h before the I/R operation. Our data revealed that AM404 administration to mice greatly ameliorated I/R-triggered impairment of myocardial performance and reduced infarct area, myocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response accompanied by the reduction of receptor interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1/3- mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)-mediated necroptosis and upregulation of the immunosubunits (β2i and β5i). In contrast, administration of epoxomicin (a proteasome inhibitor) dramatically abolished AM404-dependent protection against myocardial I/R damage. Mechanistically, AM404 treatment increases β5i expression, which interacts with Pellino-1 (Peli1), an E3 ligase, to form a complex with RIPK1/3, thereby promoting their degradation, which leads to inhibition of cardiomyocyte necroptosis in the I/R heart. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that AM404 could prevent cardiac I/R damage and may be a promising drug for the treatment of ischaemic heart disease.

Abstract
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which has a high rate of metastatic spread and drug resistance, is the most common subtype of lung cancer. Therefore, NSCLC patients have a very poor prognosis and a very low chance of survival. Human cancers are closely linked to regulated cell death (RCD), such as apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. Currently, small-molecule compounds targeting various types of RCD have shown potential as anticancer treatments. Moreover, RCD appears to be a specific part of the antitumor immune response; hence, the combination of RCD and immunotherapy might increase the inhibitory effect of therapy on tumor growth. In this review, we summarize small-molecule compounds used for the treatment of NSCLC by focusing on RCD and pharmacological systems. In addition, we describe the current research status of an immunotherapy combined with an RCD-based regimen for NSCLC, providing new ideas for targeting RCD pathways in combination with immunotherapy for patients with NSCLC in the future.

Abstract
Inflammation and cell death processes positively control the organ homeostasis of an organism. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), a member of the RIPK family, is a crucial regulator of cell death and inflammation, and control homeostasis at the cellular and tissue level. Necroptosis, a programmed form of necrosis-mediated cell death and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced necrotic cell death, is mostly regulated by RIPK1 kinase activity. Thus, RIPK1 has recently emerged as an upstream kinase that controls multiple cellular pathways and participates in regulating inflammation and cell death. All the major cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) have been found to express RIPK1. Selective inhibition of RIPK1 has been shown to prevent neuronal cell death, which could ultimately lead to a significant reduction of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. In addition, the kinase structure of RIPK1 is highly conducive to the development of specific pharmacological small-molecule inhibitors. These factors have led to the emergence of RIPK1 as an important therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Abstract
Fibrosis is a common process of tissue repair response to multiple injuries in all chronic progressive diseases, which features with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. Fibrosis can occur in all organs and tends to be nonreversible with the progress of the disease. Different cells types in different organs are involved in the occurrence and development of fibrosis, that is, hepatic stellate cells, pancreatic stellate cells, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Various types of programmed cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis and necroptosis, are closely related to organ fibrosis. Among these programmed cell death types, necroptosis, an emerging regulated cell death type, is regarded as a huge potential target to ameliorate organ fibrosis. In this review, we summarize the role of necroptosis signalling in organ fibrosis and collate the small molecule compounds targeting necroptosis. In addition, we discuss the potential challenges, opportunities and open questions in using necroptosis signalling as a potential target for antifibrotic therapies.

Abstract
Cell death and inflammation are closely linked arms of the innate immune response to combat infection and tissue malfunction. Recent advancements in our understanding of the intricate signals originating from dying cells have revealed that cell death serves as more than just an end point. It facilitates the exchange of information between the dying cell and cells of the tissue microenvironment, particularly immune cells, alerting and recruiting them to the site of disturbance. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is emerging as a critical stress sentinel that functions as a molecular switch, governing cellular survival, inflammatory responses and immunogenic cell death signalling. Its tight regulation involves multiple layers of post-translational modifications. In this Review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms that regulate RIPK1 to maintain homeostasis and cellular survival in healthy cells, yet drive cell death in a context-dependent manner. We address how RIPK1 mutations or aberrant regulation is associated with inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and cancer. Moreover, we tease apart what is known about catalytic and non-catalytic roles of RIPK1 and discuss the successes and pitfalls of current strategies that aim to target RIPK1 in the clinic.

Abstract
Dysregulation of the adaptor protein Abelson interactor 1 (ABI1) is linked to malignant transformation. To interrogate the role of ABI1 in cancer development, we mapped the ABI1 interactome using proximity-dependent labeling (PDL) with biotin followed by mass spectrometry. Using a novel PDL data filtering strategy, considering both peptide spectral matches and peak areas of detected peptides, we identified 212 ABI1 proximal interactors. These included WAVE2 complex components such as CYFIP1, NCKAP1, or WASF1, confirming the known role of ABI1 in the regulation of actin-polymerization-dependent processes. We also identified proteins associated with the TAK1-IKK pathway, including TAK1, TAB2, and RIPK1, denoting a newly identified function of ABI1 in TAK1-NF-κB inflammatory signaling. Functional assays using TNFα-stimulated, ABI1-overexpressing or ABI1-deficient cells showed effects on the TAK1-NF-kB pathway-dependent signaling to RIPK1, with ABI1-knockout cells being less susceptible to TNFα-induced, RIPK1-mediated, TAK1-dependent apoptosis. In sum, our PDL-based strategy enabled mapping of the ABI1 proximal interactome, thus revealing a previously unknown role of this adaptor protein in TAK1/RIPK1-based regulation of cell death and survival.

Abstract
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), at least in part driven by necroptosis, is characterized by life-threatening multiple organ failure. Blocking the progression of SIRS and consequent multiple organ dysfunction is challenging. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is an important cell death and inflammatory mediator, making it a potential treatment target in several diseases. Here, using a drug repurposing approach, we show that inhibiting RIPK1 is also an effective treatment for SIRS. We performed cell-based high-throughput drug screening of an US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug library that contains 1953 drugs to identify effective inhibitors of necroptotic cell death by SYTOX green staining. Dose-response validation of the top candidate, quizartinib, was conducted in two cell lines of HT-22 and MEFs. The effect of quizartinib on necroptosis-related proteins was evaluated using western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and an in vitro RIPK1 kinase assay. The in vivo effects of quizartinib were assessed in a murine tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced SIRS model. High-throughput screening identified quizartinib as the top "hit" in the compound library that rescued cells from necroptosis in vitro. Quizartinib inhibited necroptosis by directly inhibiting RIPK1 kinase activity and blocking downstream complex IIb formation. Furthermore, quizartinib protected mice against TNFα-induced SIRS. Quizartinib, as an FDA-approved drug with proven safety and efficacy, was repurposed for targeted inhibition of RIPK1. This work provides essential preclinical data for transferring quizartinib to the treatment of RIPK1-dependent necroptosis-induced inflammatory diseases, including SIRS.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that has been implicated in multiple diseases. TNF-induced necroptosis is regulated by necrosomes, complexes consisting of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL. In this study, by screening of a small-compound library, we identified dozens of compounds that inhibited TNF-induced necroptosis. According to the mechanisms by which they inhibited necroptosis, these compounds were classified into different groups. We then identified Ibrutinib as an inhibitor of RIPK3 and found that Quizartinib protected against the TNF-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome in mice by inhibiting the activation of RIPK1. Altogether, our work revealed dozens of necroptosis inhibitors, suggesting new potential approaches for treating necroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19). One key feature associated with COVID-19 is excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine production that leads to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although the cytokine storm induces inflammatory cell death in the host, which type of programmed cell death mechanism that occurs in various organs and cells remains elusive. Using an in vitro culture model of polarized human airway epithelium (HAE), we observed that necroptosis, but not apoptosis or pyroptosis, plays an essential role in the damage of the epithelial barrier of polarized HAE infected with SARS-CoV-2. Pharmacological inhibitors of necroptosis, necrostatin-2 and necrosulfonamide, efficiently prevented cell death and epithelial barrier dysfunction caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, the silencing of genes that are involved in necroptosis, RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL, ameliorated airway epithelial damage of the polarized HAE infected with SARS-CoV-2. This study, for the first time, confirms that SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers necroptosis that disrupts the barrier function of human airway epithelia in vitro.

Tong Y, Wu Y, Ma J, Ikeda M, Ide T, Griffin CT, Ding XQ, Wang S. Comparative mechanistic study of RPE cell death induced by different oxidative stresses. Redox Biol 2023; 65:102840. [PMID: 37566944 PMCID: PMC10440584 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is hypothesized to drive the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell layer is important for supporting the function of retina and is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress-induced cell death. How RPE cells die in AMD, especially in geographic atrophy (GA), a late stage of dry AMD, is still controversial. The goal of this study is to compare the features and mechanisms of RPE cell death induced by different oxidative stresses, to identify potential universal therapeutic targets for GA. RPE cell death was induced both in vitro and ex vivo by 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), a major product of lipid peroxidation, sodium iodate (NaIO3) that has been widely used to model RPE cell death in dry AMD, a ferroptosis inducer RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3) or a necroptosis inducer shikonin. We found that RPE necroptosis and ferroptosis show common and distinct features. Common features include receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1/RIPK3 activation and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, although lipid ROS accumulation is much milder during necroptosis. This supports cross talk between RPE ferroptosis and necroptosis pathways and is consistent with the rescue of RPE necroptosis and ferroptosis by RIPK1 inhibitor Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) or in Ripk3-/- RPE explants. Distinct feature includes activated mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase (MLKL) that is translocated to the cell membrane during necroptosis, which is not happening in ferroptosis. This is consistent with the failure to rescue RPE ferroptosis by MLKL inhibitor necrosulfonamide (NSA) or in Mlkl-/- RPE explants. Using this framework, we found that 4-HNE and NaIO3 induced RPE cell death likely through necroptosis based on the molecular features and the rescuing effect by multiple inhibitors. Our studies suggest that multiple markers and inhibitors are required to distinguish RPE necroptosis and ferroptosis, and that necroptosis inhibitor Nec-1 could be a potential therapeutic compound for GA since it inhibits RIPK1/RIPK3 activation and lipid ROS accumulation occurred in both necroptosis and ferroptosis pathways.

Abstract
TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is crucial in producing type Ⅰ interferons (IFN-Ⅰ) that play critical functions in antiviral innate immunity. The tight regulation of TBK1, especially its activation, is very important. Here we identify NLRC4 as a positive regulator of TBK1. Ectopic expression of NLRC4 facilitates the activation of the IFN-β promoter, the mRNA levels of IFN-β, ISG54, and ISG56, and the nuclear translocation of interferon regulatory factor 3 induced by cGAS and STING. Consistently, under herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection, knockdown or knockout of NLRC4 in BJ cells and primary peritoneal macrophages from Nlrc4-deficient (Nlrc4-/- ) mice show attenuated Ifn-β, Isg54, and Isg56 mRNA transcription, TBK1 phosphorylation, and augmented viral replications. Moreover, Nlrc4-/- mice show higher mortality upon HSV-1 infection. Mechanistically, NLRC4 facilitates the interaction between TBK1 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL to enhance the K63-linked polyubiquitination of TBK1. Our study elucidates a previously uncharacterized function for NLRC4 in upregulating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and antiviral innate immunity.

Abstract
In recent years, three emerging cell deaths, ferroptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, have gradually attracted everyone's attention, and they also play an important role in the occurrence and development of various diseases. Ferroptosis is an idiographic iron-dependent form regulated cell death with the hallmark of accumulation of the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Necroptosis is a form of regulated necrotic cell death mediated by the receptor-interacting protein kinase 1(RIPK1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3RIPK3. Pyroptosis, also known as cell inflammatory necrosis, is a programmed cell necrosis mediated by Gasdermin D (GSDMD). It is manifested by the continuous swelling of the cells until the cell membrane ruptures, resulting in the release of the cell contents and the activation of a strong inflammatory response. Neurological disorders remain a clinical challenge and patients do not respond well to conventional treatments. Nerve cell death can aggravate the occurrence and development of neurological diseases. This article reviews the specific mechanisms of these three types of cell death and their relationship with neurological diseases and the evidence for the role of the three types of cell death in neurological diseases; understanding these pathways and their mechanisms is helpful for the treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a caspase-independent form of programmed cell death. Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a key molecule in the initiation of necroptosis and the formation of the necrotic complex. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) provides a blood supply to tumor cells that is not dependent on endothelial cells. However, the relationship between necroptosis and VM in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is not fully understood. In this study, we found that RIPK1-dependent necroptosis promoted VM formation in TNBC. Knockdown of RIPK1 significantly suppressed the number of necroptotic cells and VM formation. Moreover, RIPK1 activated the p-AKT/eIF4E signaling pathway during necroptosis in TNBC. eIF4E was blocked by knockdown of RIPK1 or AKT inhibitors. Furthermore, we found that eIF4E promoted VM formation by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the expression and activity of MMP2. In addition to its critical role in necroptosis-mediated VM, eIF4E was essential for VM formation. Knockdown of eIF4E significantly suppressed VM formation during necroptosis. Finally, through clinical significance, the results found that eIF4E expression in TNBC was positively correlated with the mesenchymal marker vimentin, the VM marker MMP2, and the necroptosis markers MLKL and AKT. In conclusion, RIPK1-dependent necroptosis promotes VM formation in TNBC. Necroptosis promotes VM formation by activating RIPK1/p-AKT/eIF4E signaling in TNBC. eIF4E promotes EMT and MMP2 expression and activity, leading to VM formation. Our study provides a rationale for necroptosis-mediated VM and also providing a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.

Abstract
Hepatocyte apoptosis plays an essential role in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocyte apoptosis remain unclear. Here, we identify UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (UGDH) as a suppressor of NASH-associated liver damage by inhibiting RIPK1 kinase-dependent hepatocyte apoptosis. UGDH is progressively reduced in proportion to NASH severity. UGDH absence from hepatocytes hastens the development of liver damage in male mice with NASH, which is suppressed by RIPK1 kinase-dead knockin mutation. Mechanistically, UGDH suppresses RIPK1 by converting UDP-glucose to UDP-glucuronate, the latter directly binds to the kinase domain of RIPK1 and inhibits its activation. Recovering UDP-glucuronate levels, even after the onset of NASH, improved liver damage. Our findings reveal a role for UGDH and UDP-glucuronate in NASH pathogenesis and uncover a mechanism by which UDP-glucuronate controls hepatocyte apoptosis by targeting RIPK1 kinase, and suggest UDP-glucuronate metabolism as a feasible target for more specific treatment of NASH-associated liver damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alpha-synuclein (α-SN) is the central protein in synucleinopathies including Parkinson's disease. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms through which α-SN leads to neuronal death remain unclear. METHODS To elucidate the relationship between α-SN and apoptosis, some indicators of the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic cell death were assessed in normal and a stable HEK293T cell line expressing firefly luciferase after transfection with the wild-type (WT) and A53T mutant α-SN. RESULTS Opposite to WT-α-SN, overexpression of A53T-α-SN resulted in enhanced expression of almost two fold for RIPK1 (93.0 %), FADD (45 %), Caspase-8, and Casp-9 activity (52.0 %) in measured time. Transfection of both WT-α-SN and A53T-α-SN showed an increase in the Casp-3/Procasp-3 ratio (WT: 60.5 %; A53T: 41.0 %), Casp-3 activity (WT: 65.0 %; A53T: 20.5 %), and a decrease in luciferase activity (WT: 50 %; A53T: 34.8 %). Overexpression of A53T-α-SN brought about with more cell death percentage compared to WT-α-SN within 36 h. No significant alteration in cytochrome c and reactive oxygen species release into cytosol were observed for both WT-α-SN and A53T-α-SN. CONCLUSION Altogether, these findings highlight the link between disease related mutants of α-SN (like A53T-α-SN) in triggering of RIPK1-dependent extrinsic apoptotic pathway in cell death during neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the world. Motor impairment seen in PD is associated with dopaminergic neurotoxicity in the striatum, and dopaminergic neuronal death in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Cell death has a significant effect on the development and progression of PD. Extensive research over the last few decades has unveiled new regulated cell death (RCD) mechanisms that are not dependent on apoptosis such as necroptosis, ferroptosis, and others. In this review, we will overview the mechanistic pathways of different types of RCD. Unlike accidental cell death, RCD subroutines can be regulated and the RCD-associated kinases are potential druggable targets. Hence, we will address an overview and analysis of different kinases regulating apoptosis such as receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK-1), RIPK3, mixed lineage kinase (MLK), Ataxia telangiectasia muted (ATM), cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), Apoptosis-signaling kinase-1 (ASK-1), and Leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2). In addition to the role of RIPK1, RIPK3, and Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain like Pseudokinase (MLKL) in necroptosis. We also overview functions of AMP-kinase (AMPK), protein kinase C (PKC), RIPK3, and ATM in ferroptosis. We will recap the anti-apoptotic, anti-necroptotic, and anti-ferroptotic effects of different kinase inhibitors in different models of PD. Finally, we will discuss future challenges in the repositioning of kinase inhibitors in PD. In conclusion, this review kicks-start targeting RCD from a kinases perspective, opening novel therapeutic disease-modifying therapeutic avenues for PD.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is one of the most important post-translational modifications which plays a significant role in conserving the homeostasis of cellular proteins. In the ubiquitination process, ubiquitin is conjugated to target protein substrates for degradation, translocation or activation, dysregulation of which is linked to several diseases including various types of cancers. E3 ubiquitin ligases are regarded as the most influential ubiquitin enzyme owing to their ability to select, bind and recruit target substrates for ubiquitination. In particular, E3 ligases are pivotal in the cancer hallmarks pathways where they serve as tumour promoters or suppressors. The specificity of E3 ligases coupled with their implication in cancer hallmarks engendered the development of compounds that specifically target E3 ligases for cancer therapy. In this review, we highlight the role of E3 ligases in cancer hallmarks such as sustained proliferation via cell cycle progression, immune evasion and tumour promoting inflammation, and in the evasion of apoptosis. In addition, we summarise the application and the role of small compounds that target E3 ligases for cancer treatment along with the significance of targeting E3 ligases as potential cancer therapy.

TNF-α contributes to sarcopenia through caspase-8/caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis. Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:76.

Abstract
Sarcopenia has become a leading cause of disability and mortality in the elderly. It has been reported that programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with the development of sarcopenia that is characterized by reduction of muscle fiber size and number. TNF-α is also validated to play a prominent role in sarcopenia through its complex signaling pathways including cell death signaling. However, it is still unclear whether TNF-α contributes to sarcopenia by mediating pyroptosis, one type of PCD. Here, we first established naturally aged mice with sarcopenia model and confirmed an inflammatory state represented by TNF-α in aged mice. Evidence of GSDME-mediated pyroptosis and activation of apoptotic caspase-8/-3 were also found in skeletal muscle cells of aged mice with sarcopenia. We demonstrated that TNF-α triggered GSDME-mediated pyroptosis in myotubes through activating caspase-8 and caspase-3 by using caspase-8 and caspase-3 inhibitors. Comparing the activation of caspase-8 and GSDME expression between TNF Complex IIa and TNF Complex IIb, TNF-α was found to be more inclined to assemble TNF Complex IIb in activating caspase-8 and triggering pyroptosis. Moreover, pyroptotic myotubes were validated to result in decreased expression of MHC1 and finally loss of myotubes by knockdown of GSDME. Our work reveals a novel mechanism that TNF-ɑ/caspase-8/caspase-3/GSDME signaling-mediated pyroptosis contributes to the development of sarcopenia. Caspase-3/GSDME signaling-mediated pyroptosis may be a promising therapeutic target for sarcopenia.

Abstract
Different programed cell death (PCD) modalities involve protein-protein interactions in large complexes. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) stimulated assembly of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)/Fas-associated death domain (FADD) interaction forms Ripoptosome complex that may cause either apoptosis or necroptosis. The present study addresses the interaction of RIPK1 and FADD in TNFα signaling by fusion of C-terminal (CLuc) and N-terminal (NLuc) luciferase fragments to RIPK1-CLuc (R1C) or FADD-NLuc (FN) in a caspase 8 negative neuroblastic SH-SY5Y cell line, respectively. In addition, based on our findings, an RIPK1 mutant (R1C K612R) had less interaction with FN, resulting in increasing cell viability. Moreover, presence of a caspase inhibitor (zVAD.fmk) increases luciferase activity compared to Smac mimetic BV6 (B), TNFα -induced (T) and non-induced cell. Furthermore, etoposide decreased luciferase activity, but dexamethasone was not effective in SH-SY5Y. This reporter assay might be used to evaluate basic aspects of this interaction as well as for screening of necroptosis and apoptosis targeting drugs with potential therapeutic application.

PRMT5-mediated regulatory arginine methylation of RIPK3. Cell Death Dis 2023; 9:14. [PMID: 36658119 PMCID: PMC9852244 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01299-z] [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: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
The TNF receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK)-1 and 3 are regulators of extrinsic cell death response pathways, where RIPK1 makes the cell survival or death decisions by associating with distinct complexes mediating survival signaling, caspase activation or RIPK3-dependent necroptotic cell death in a context-dependent manner. Using a mass spectrometry-based screen to find new components of the ripoptosome/necrosome, we discovered the protein-arginine methyltransferase (PRMT)-5 as a direct interaction partner of RIPK1. Interestingly, RIPK3 but not RIPK1 was then found to be a target of PRMT5-mediated symmetric arginine dimethylation. A conserved arginine residue in RIPK3 (R486 in human, R415 in mouse) was identified as the evolutionarily conserved target for PRMT5-mediated symmetric dimethylation and the mutations R486A and R486K in human RIPK3 almost completely abrogated its methylation. Rescue experiments using these non-methylatable mutants of RIPK3 demonstrated PRMT5-mediated RIPK3 methylation to act as an efficient mechanism of RIPK3-mediated feedback control on RIPK1 activity and function. Therefore, this study reveals PRMT5-mediated RIPK3 methylation as a novel modulator of RIPK1-dependent signaling.

Abstract
Erinacine A (EA), a natural neuroprotectant, is isolated from a Chinese herbal medicine, Hericium erinaceus. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of EA in a rat model of traumatic optic neuropathy. The optic nerves (ONs) of adult male Wistar rats were crushed using a standardized method and divided into three experimental groups: phosphate-buffered saline (PBS control)-treated group, standard EA dose-treated group (2.64 mg/kg in 0.5 mL of PBS), and double EA dose-treated group (5.28 mg/kg in 0.5 mL of PBS). After ON crush, each group was fed orally every day for 14 days before being euthanized. The visual function, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) density, and RGC apoptosis were determined using flash visual-evoked potentials (fVEP) analysis, retrograde Fluoro-Gold labelling, and TdT-dUTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL) assay, respectively. Macrophage infiltration of ON was detected by immunostaining (immunohistochemistry) for ED1. The protein levels of phosphor-receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase1 (pRIP1), caspase 8 (Cas8), cleaved caspase 3 (cCas3), tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, tumour necrosis factor receptor1 (TNFR1), interleukin (IL)-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) were evaluated by Western blotting. When comparing the standard EA dose-treated group and the double EA dose-treated group with the PBS-treated group, fVEP analysis showed that the amplitudes of P1−N2 in the standard EA dose group and the double EA dose-treated group were 1.8 and 2.4-fold, respectively, higher than that in the PBS-treated group (p < 0.05). The density of RGC in the standard EA dose-treated group and the double EA dose-treated group were 2.3 and 3.7-fold, respectively, higher than that in the PBS-treated group (p < 0.05). The TUNEL assay showed that the standard EA dose-treated group and the double EA dose-treated group had significantly reduced numbers of apoptotic RGC by 10.0 and 15.6-fold, respectively, compared with the PBS-treated group (p < 0.05). The numbers of macrophages on ON were reduced by 1.8 and 2.2-fold in the standard EA dose-treated group and the double EA dose-treated group, respectively (p < 0.01). On the retinal samples, the levels of pRIP, Cas8, cCas3, TNF-α, TNFR1, IL-1β, and iNOS were decreased, whereas those of Nrf2, HO-1, and SOD1 were increased in both EA-treated groups compared to those in the PBS-treated group (p < 0.05). EA treatment has neuroprotective effects on an experimental model of traumatic optic neuropathy by suppressing apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress to protect the RGCs from death as well as preserving the visual function.

Abstract
Activation of RIPK1-driven cell death and inflammation play important roles in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the mechanism underlying RIPK1 activation in NASH remains unclear. Here we identified SENP1, a SUMO-specific protease, as a key endogenous inhibitor of RIPK1. SENP1 is progressively reduced in proportion to NASH severity in patients. Hepatocyte-specific SENP1-knockout mice develop spontaneous NASH-related phenotypes in a RIPK1 kinase-dependent manner. We demonstrate that SENP1 deficiency sensitizes cells to RIPK1 kinase-dependent apoptosis by promoting RIPK1 activation following TNFα stimulation. Mechanistically, SENP1 deSUMOylates RIPK1 in TNF-R1 signaling complex (TNF-RSC), keeping RIPK1 in check. Loss of SENP1 leads to SUMOylation of RIPK1, which re-orchestrates TNF-RSC and modulates the ubiquitination patterns and activity of RIPK1. Notably, genetic inhibition of RIPK1 effectively reverses disease progression in hepatocyte-specific SENP1-knockout male mice with high-fat-diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver. We propose that deSUMOylation of RIPK1 by SENP1 provides a pathophysiologically relevant cell death-restricting checkpoint that modulates RIPK1 activation in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

[PMID: 36030035 PMCID: PMC9464965 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2022.101582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
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
Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3, or RIP3) is an essential protein in the "programmed" and "regulated" cell death pathway called necroptosis. Necroptosis is activated by the death receptor ligands and pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system, and the findings of many reports have suggested that necroptosis is highly significant in health and human disease. This significance is largely because necroptosis is distinguished from other modes of cell death, especially apoptosis, in that it is highly proinflammatory given that cell membrane integrity is lost, triggering the activation of the immune system and inflammation. Here, we discuss the roles of RIPK3 in cell signaling, along with its role in necroptosis and various pathways that trigger RIPK3 activation and cell death. Lastly, we consider pathological situations in which RIPK3/necroptosis may play a role.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a pediatric malignant bone tumor that predominantly affects adolescent and young adults. It has high risk for relapse and over the last four decades no improvement of prognosis was achieved. It is therefore crucial to identify new drug candidates for OS treatment to combat drug resistance, limit relapse, and stop metastatic spread. Two acquired hallmarks of cancer cells, mitochondria-related regulated cell death (RCD) and metabolism are intimately connected. Both have been shown to be dysregulated in OS, making them attractive targets for novel treatment. Promising OS treatment strategies focus on promoting RCD by targeting key molecular actors in metabolic reprogramming. The exact interplay in OS, however, has not been systematically analyzed. We therefore review these aspects by synthesizing current knowledge in apoptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy in OS. Additionally, we outline an overview of mitochondrial function and metabolic profiles in different preclinical OS models. Finally, we discuss the mechanism of action of two novel molecule combinations currently investigated in active clinical trials: metformin and the combination of ADI-PEG20, Docetaxel and Gemcitabine.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD), also well-known as programmed cell death (PCD), refers to the form of cell death that can be regulated by a variety of biomacromolecules, which is distinctive from accidental cell death (ACD). Accumulating evidence has revealed that RCD subroutines are the key features of tumorigenesis, which may ultimately lead to the establishment of different potential therapeutic strategies. Hitherto, targeting the subroutines of RCD with pharmacological small-molecule compounds has been emerging as a promising therapeutic avenue, which has rapidly progressed in many types of human cancers. Thus, in this review, we focus on summarizing not only the key apoptotic and autophagy-dependent cell death signaling pathways, but the crucial pathways of other RCD subroutines, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, parthanatos, entosis, NETosis and lysosome-dependent cell death (LCD) in cancer. Moreover, we further discuss the current situation of several small-molecule compounds targeting the different RCD subroutines to improve cancer treatment, such as single-target, dual or multiple-target small-molecule compounds, drug combinations, and some new emerging therapeutic strategies that would together shed new light on future directions to attack cancer cell vulnerabilities with small-molecule drugs targeting RCD for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Viruses are ubiquitous intracellular genetic parasites that heavily rely on the infected cell to complete their replication life cycle. This dependency on the host machinery forces viruses to modulate a variety of cellular processes including cell survival and cell death. Viruses are known to activate and block almost all types of programmed cell death (PCD) known so far. Modulating PCD in infected hosts has a variety of direct and indirect effects on viral pathogenesis and antiviral immunity. The mechanisms leading to apoptosis following virus infection is widely studied, but several modalities of PCD, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and paraptosis, are relatively understudied. In this review, we cover the mechanisms by which viruses activate and inhibit PCDs and suggest perspectives on how these affect viral pathogenesis and immunity.

Harnessing Protein-Ligand Interaction Fingerprints to Predict New Scaffolds of RIPK1 Inhibitors. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27154718. [PMID: 35897894 PMCID: PMC9330098 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27154718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Necroptosis has emerged as an exciting target in oncological, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases, in addition to acute ischemic injuries. It is known to play a role in innate immune response, as well as in antiviral cellular response. Here we devised a concerted in silico and experimental framework to identify novel RIPK1 inhibitors, a key necroptosis factor. We propose the first in silico model for the prediction of new RIPK1 inhibitor scaffolds by combining docking and machine learning methodologies. Through the data analysis of patterns in docking results, we derived two rules, where rule #1 consisted of a four-residue signature filter, and rule #2 consisted of a six-residue similarity filter based on docking calculations. These were used in consensus with a machine learning QSAR model from data collated from ChEMBL, the literature, in patents, and from PubChem data. The models allowed for good prediction of actives of >90, 92, and 96.4% precision, respectively. As a proof-of-concept, we selected 50 compounds from the ChemBridge database, using a consensus of both molecular docking and machine learning methods, and tested them in a phenotypic necroptosis assay and a biochemical RIPK1 inhibition assay. A total of 7 of the 47 tested compounds demonstrated around 20−25% inhibition of RIPK1’s kinase activity but, more importantly, these compounds were discovered to occupy new areas of chemical space. Although no strong actives were found, they could be candidates for further optimization, particularly because they have new scaffolds. In conclusion, this screening method may prove valuable for future screening efforts as it allows for the exploration of new areas of the chemical space in a very fast and inexpensive manner, therefore providing efficient starting points amenable to further hit-optimization campaigns.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder, which is caused by mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes, characterizing by progressive growth of multiple cysts in the kidneys, eventually leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and requiring renal replacement therapy. In addition, studies indicate that disease progression is as a result of a combination of factors. Understanding the molecular mechanisms, therefore, should facilitate the development of precise therapeutic strategies for ADPKD treatment. The roles of epigenetic modulation, interstitial inflammation, and regulated cell death have recently become the focuses in ADPKD. Different epigenetic regulators, and the presence of inflammatory markers detectable even before cyst growth, have been linked to cyst progression. Moreover, the infiltration of inflammatory cells, such as macrophages and T cells, have been associated with cyst growth and deteriorating renal function in humans and PKD animal models. There is evidence supporting a direct role of the PKD gene mutations to the regulation of epigenetic mechanisms and inflammatory response in ADPKD. In addition, the role of regulated cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy and ferroptosis, have been investigated in ADPKD. However, there is no consensus whether cell death promotes or delays cyst growth in ADPKD. It is therefore necessary to develop an interactive picture between PKD gene mutations, the epigenome, inflammation, and cell death to understand why inherited PKD gene mutations in patients may result in the dysregulation of these processes that increase the progression of renal cyst formation.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) primarily affect the motor and frontotemporal areas of the brain, respectively. These disorders share clinical, genetic, and pathological similarities, and approximately 10-15% of ALS-FTD cases are considered to be multisystemic. ALS-FTD overlaps have been linked to families carrying an expansion in the intron of C9orf72 along with inclusions of TDP-43 in the brain. Other overlapping genes (VCP, FUS, SQSTM1, TBK1, CHCHD10) are also involved in similar functions that include RNA processing, autophagy, proteasome response, protein aggregation, and intracellular trafficking. Recent advances in genome sequencing have identified new genes that are involved in these disorders (TBK1, CCNF, GLT8D1, KIF5A, NEK1, C21orf2, TBP, CTSF, MFSD8, DNAJC7). Additional risk factors and modifiers have been also identified in genome-wide association studies and array-based studies. However, the newly identified genes show higher disease frequencies in combination with known genes that are implicated in pathogenesis, thus indicating probable digenetic/polygenic inheritance models, along with epistatic interactions. Studies suggest that these genes play a pleiotropic effect on ALS-FTD and other diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Ataxia, and Parkinsonism. Besides, there have been numerous improvements in the genotype-phenotype correlations as well as clinical trials on stem cell and gene-based therapies. This review discusses the possible genetic models of ALS and FTD, the latest therapeutics, and signaling pathways involved in ALS-FTD.

Abstract
The understanding of the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma led to the development of targeted therapies, which dramatically changed the overall survival rate. Nonetheless, despite innovative lines of therapy accessible to patients, the prognosis remains severe in most cases. Kidney cancer rarely shows mutations in the genes coding for proteins involved in programmed cell death, including p53. In this paper, we show that the molecular machinery responsible for different forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, which are somehow impaired in kidney cancer to allow cancer cell growth and development, was reactivated by targeted pharmacological intervention. The aim of the present review was to summarize the modality of programmed cell death in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma, showing in vitro and in vivo evidence of their potential role in controlling kidney cancer growth, and highlighting their possible therapeutic value.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disorder featured by memory loss and cognitive default. However, there has been no effective therapeutic approach to prevent the development of AD and the available therapies are only to alleviate some symptoms with limited efficacy and severe side effects. Necroptosis is a new kind of cell death, being regarded as a genetically programmed and regulated pattern of necrosis. Increasing evidence reveals that necroptosis is tightly related to the occurrence and development of AD. This review aims to summarize the potential role of necroptosis in AD progression and the therapeutic capacity of targeting necroptosis for AD patients.

Abstract
Receptor interacting protein 1 (RIP1) kinase is a critical regulator of inflammation and cell death signaling, and plays a crucial role in maintaining immune responses and proper tissue homeostasis. Mounting evidence argues for the importance of RIP1 post-translational modifications in control of its function. Ubiquitination by E3 ligases, such as inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins and LUBAC, as well as the reversal of these modifications by deubiquitinating enzymes, such as A20 and CYLD, can greatly influence RIP1 mediated signaling. In addition, cleavage by caspase-8, RIP1 autophosphorylation, and phosphorylation by a number of signaling kinases can greatly impact cellular fate. Disruption of the tightly regulated RIP1 modifications can lead to signaling disbalance in TNF and/or TLR controlled and other inflammatory pathways, and result in severe human pathologies. This review will focus on RIP1 and its many modifications with an emphasis on ubiquitination, phosphorylation, and cleavage, and their functional impact on the RIP1's role in signaling pathways.

Abstract
Programmed cell death (PCD), including necroptosis, has emerged as a significant pathway in cardiovascular diseases. The infection of viral myocarditis (VMC) could cause cardiomyocytes degeneration, necrosis, and immune-inflammatory myocardial response. In this review, we summarized and evaluated the available evidence on the pathogenesis, molecule mechanism, diagnosis, and potential treatment strategies of viral myocarditis, with a special focus on the novel mechanism of necroptosis for cardiomyocytes death. Studies have shown that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is an important cytokine involved in the activation of necroptosis; an elevated level of TNF-α is continually reported in patients suffering from VMC, implicating its involvement in the pathogenesis of VMC. It is of great interest to explore the clinical implication of TNF-α. We subsequently conducted a meta-analysis on the efficacy of serum TNF-α expression level and its diagnostic accuracy on acute viral myocarditis detection. Taken together, the review demonstrates a compelling role of necroptosis involved in the pathogenesis of VMC. Further, applying TNF-α as a serological marker for the diagnosis of VMC may be a useful strategy.

Abstract
Cell death is a necessary event in multi-cellular organisms to maintain homeostasis by eliminating unrequired or damaged cells. Currently, there are many forms of cell death, and several of them, such as necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis, even apoptosis trigger an inflammatory response by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of human inflammatory diseases, including autoimmunity disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Therefore, the occurrence of inflammatory cell death must be strictly regulated. Recently, increasing studies suggest that phosphorylation plays a critical role in inflammatory cell death. In this review, we will summarize current knowledge of the regulatory role of phosphorylation in inflammatory cell death and also discuss the promising treatment strategy for inflammatory diseases by targeting related protein kinases that mediate phosphorylation or phosphatases that mediate dephosphorylation.

Abstract
Macrophages play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have been considered as a therapeutic target of this disease. Here we show that mascRNA, a tRNA-like cytoplasmic small noncoding RNA, promoted RIPK1-dependent apoptosis (RDA) in RAW267.4 macrophages in response to the TAK1 inhibitor 5Z-7-oxozeaenol (5Z-7) alone as well as in combination with TNF. Moreover, mascRNA suppressed RANKL-induced expression of osteoclast marker genes and attenuated RANKL signaling. Using a murine model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), we demonstrated that mascRNA, administered either alone or in combination with 5Z-7, alleviated joint inflammation in CIA mice. Thus, mascRNA might be a promising agent for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Hypoxia is an important feature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). While targeting hypoxic TME is emerging as a potential strategy for treating solid tumors including liver cancer. Recent studies have shown that hypoxia can regulate tumor adaptation to hypoxic TME through long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). In the previous study, we identify a novel hypoxia-activated lncRNA and termed it as HABON. Here, we demonstrated that knockdown of HABON caused necroptosis of tumor tissue and inhibited the subcutaneous tumor growth of SMMC-7721 cells in nude mice. Moreover, knockdown of HABON increased RIPK1 and MLKL expression as well as their phosphorylation level in SMMC-7721 and Huh7 liver cancer cells. Meanwhile, Necrostatin-1 and GSK872 could restore cell death of liver cancer cells caused by knockdown of HABON under hypoxia. The above results suggested that HABON could inhibit hypoxia-induced necroptosis of liver cancer cells. Mechanically, knockdown of HABON in liver cancer cells aggravated mitochondrial dysfunction caused by hypoxia. Furthermore, the RNA pull-down combined with mass spectrometry analysis identified HABON can interact with mitochondria-related protein VDAC1 and the RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) analysis proved the interaction. In addition, we proved that VDAC1 mediated the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as necroptosis caused by knockdown of HABON. Overall, our work demonstrates HABON can reduce hypoxia-induced necroptosis of liver cancer cells and suggests that inhibition of HABON in the hypoxic TME is a potential therapeutic strategy for treating liver cancer.

Abstract
The pathological mechanism of cell death features in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) was complicated. The occurrence of various cell death pathways during the progression of ischemia/reperfusion injury promoted complex further neuroinflammation. RIPK1, receptor interacting protein kinase 1, was convinced to be involved in both necroptosis and apoptosis, which is a special RIPK1-dependent apoptosis. More evidences indicated the physiological role of RIPK1 in necroptosis, apoptosis and also autophagy. In this study, we elucidated the RIPK1 exhibited characterization in various cell death pathways in time-course dependent feature. The necroptosis occupied dominant neuron death within 24 hours after ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the neuronal death feature seemed turned to apoptosis 24 hours after reperfusion. In this study, it was also found that TBK1 (TANK binding kinase 1) played as suppressor in the regulation of kinase activity of RIPK1. This result might provide a potential approach in mediating the kinase activity of RIPK1 in clinic.

Abstract
Mastitis is one of the most common diseases in dairy cows, causing huge economic losses to the dairy industry every year. Houttuynia Cordata Thunb (H.cordata) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that is widely used in clinical treatment. However, the therapeutic effect of 2-methyl nonyl ketone (MNK), the main volatile oil component in the aqueous vapor extract of H. cordata, on mastitis has been less studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of MNK against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mastitis in vitro. The results showed that MNK pretreatment of the bovine mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T) enhanced cell viability and inhibited LPS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammatory response. MNK reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) by repressing LPS-induced activation of Toll-like receptor 4-nuclear factor-κB (TLR4-NF-κB) signaling pathway. In addition, MNK protected cells from inflammatory responses by blocking the downstream signaling of inflammatory factors. MNK also induced Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) production by Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway through AKT and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways, thereby reducing LPS-induced oxidative damage for MAC-T cells. In conclusion, MNK played a protective role against LPS-induced cell injury. This provides a theoretical basis for the research and development of MNK as a novel therapeutic agent for mastitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation is a key component in the etiopathogenesis of neurological diseases and brain aging. This process involves the brain immune system that modulates synaptic functions and protects neurons from infection or damage. Hence, the knowledge of neuroinflammation related pathways and modulation by drugs or natural compounds is functional to developing therapeutic strategies aimed at preserving, maintaining and restoring brain health. OBJECTIVE This review article summarizes the basics of neuroinflammation and related signaling pathways, the success of the dietary intervention in clinical practice and the possible development of RNA-based strategies for treating neurological diseases. METHODS Pubmed search from 2012 to 2022 with the keywords neuroinflammation and molecular mechanisms in combination with diet, miRNA and non-coding RNA. RESULTS Glial cells-play a crucial role in neuroinflammation, but several pathways can be activated in response to different inflammatory stimuli, inducing cell death by apoptosis, pyroptosis or necroptosis. The dietary intervention has immunomodulatory effects and could limit the inflammatory process induced by microglia and astrocytes. Thus by inhibiting neuroinflammation and improving the symptoms of a variety of neurological diseases, diet exerts pleiotropic neuroprotective effects independently from the spectrum of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the specific disorder. Furthermore, data from animal models revealed that altered expression of specific noncoding RNAs, in particular microRNAs, contributes to neuroinflammatory diseases; consequently, RNA-based strategies may be promising to alleviate the consequences of neuroinflammation. CONCLUSION Further studies are needed to identify the molecular pathways and the new pharmacological targets in neuroinflammation to lay the basis for more effective and selective therapies to be applied, in parallel to dietary intervention, in the treatment of neuroinflammation-based diseases.
