Regulation of Zfp36 by ISGF3 and MK2 restricts the expression of inflammatory cytokines during necroptosis stimulation. Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:574.

Abstract
Necrosome activation following TLR- or cytokine receptor-signaling results in cell death by necroptosis which is characterized by the rupture of cell membranes and the consequent release of intracellular contents to the extracellular milieu. While necroptosis exacerbates various inflammatory diseases, the mechanisms through which the inflammatory responses are regulated are not clear. We show that the necrosome activation of macrophages results in an upregulation of various pathways, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, which results in an elevation of the inflammatory response and consequent expression of several cytokines and chemokines. Programming for this upregulation of inflammatory response occurs during the early phase of necrosome activation and proceeds independently of cell death but depends on the activation of the receptor-interacting protein kinase-1 (RipK1). Interestingly, necrosome activation also results in an upregulation of IFNβ, which in turn exerts an inhibitory effect on the maintenance of inflammatory response through the repression of MAPK-signaling and an upregulation of Zfp36. Activation of the interferon-induced gene factor-3 (ISGF3) results in the expression of ZFP36 (TTP), which induces the post-transcriptional degradation of mRNAs of various inflammatory cytokines and chemokines through the recognition of AU-rich elements in their 3'UTR. Furthermore, ZFP-36 inhibits IFNβ-, but not TNFα- induced necroptosis. Overall, these results reveal the molecular mechanism through which IFNβ, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, induces the expression of ZFP-36, which in turn inhibits necroptosis and halts the maintenance of the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Macrophages are highly plastic cells ubiquitous in various tissues, where they perform diverse functions. They participate in the response to pathogen invasion and inflammation resolution following the immune response, as well as the maintenance of homeostasis and proper tissue functions. Macrophages are generally considered long-lived cells with relatively strong resistance to numerous cytotoxic factors. On the other hand, their death seems to be one of the principal mechanisms by which macrophages perform their physiological functions or can contribute to the development of certain diseases. In this review, we scrutinize three distinct pro-inflammatory programmed cell death pathways - pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis - occurring in macrophages under specific circumstances, and explain how these cells appear to undergo dynamic yet not always final changes before ultimately dying. We achieve that by examining the interconnectivity of these cell death types, which in macrophages seem to create a coordinated and flexible system responding to the microenvironment. Finally, we discuss the complexity and consequences of pyroptotic, necroptotic, and ferroptotic pathway induction in macrophages under two pathological conditions - atherosclerosis and cancer. We summarize damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) along with other microenvironmental factors, macrophage polarization states, associated mechanisms as well as general outcomes, as such a comprehensive look at these correlations may point out the proper methodologies and potential therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Programmed cell death pathways play an important role in innate immune responses to infection. Activation of intrinsic apoptosis promotes infected cell clearance; however, comparatively little is known about how this mode of cell death is regulated during infections and whether it can induce inflammation. Here, we identify that the pro-survival BCL-2 family member, A1, controls activation of the essential intrinsic apoptotic effectors BAX/BAK in macrophages and monocytes following bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensing. We show that, due to its tight transcriptional and post-translational regulation, A1 acts as a molecular rheostat to regulate BAX/BAK-dependent apoptosis and the subsequent NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent and inflammasome-independent maturation of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Furthermore, induction of A1 expression in inflammatory monocytes limits cell death modalities and IL-1β activation triggered by Neisseria gonorrhoeae-derived outer membrane vesicles (NOMVs). Consequently, A1-deficient mice exhibit heightened IL-1β production in response to NOMV injection. These findings reveal that bacteria can induce A1 expression to delay myeloid cell death and inflammatory responses, which has implications for the development of host-directed antimicrobial therapeutics.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK)-1 and -3 play crucial roles in cell fate decisions and are regulated by multiple checkpoint controls. Previous studies have identified IKK1/2- and p38/MK2-dependent checkpoints that phosphorylate RIPK1 at different residues to inhibit its activation. In this study, we investigated TNF-induced death in MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2)-deficient cells and found that MK2 deficiency or inactivation predominantly leads to necroptotic cell death, even without caspase inhibition. While RIPK1 inhibitors can rescue MK2-deficient cells from necroptosis, inhibiting RIPK3 seems to switch the process to apoptosis. To understand the underlying mechanism of this switch, we screened a library of 149 kinase inhibitors and identified the adenosine analog 5-Iodotubercidin (5-ITu) as the most potent compound that sensitizes MK2-deficient MEFs to TNF-induced cell death. 5-ITu also enhances LPS-induced necroptosis when combined with MK2 inhibition in RAW264.7 macrophages. Further mechanistic studies revealed that 5-ITu induces RIPK1-dependent necroptosis by suppressing IKK signaling in the absence of MK2 activity. These findings highlight the role for the multitarget kinase inhibitor 5-ITu in TNF-, LPS- and chemotherapeutics-induced necroptosis and its potential implications in RIPK1-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a renal disease with a high incidence and mortality. Currently, there are no targeted therapeutics for preventing and treating AKI. Macrophages, important players in mammalian immune response, are involved in the multiple pathological processes of AKI. They are dynamically activated and exhibit a diverse spectrum of functional phenotypes in the kidney after AKI. Targeting the mechanisms of macrophage activation significantly improves the outcomes of AKI in preclinical studies. In this review, we summarize the role of macrophages and the underlying mechanisms of macrophage activation during kidney injury, repair, regeneration, and fibrosis and provide strategies for macrophage-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Macrophages, a class of tissue resident innate immune cells, are responsible for sequestering foreign objects through the process of phagocytosis, making them a promising target for immune-modulation via particulate engineering. Here, we report that nanoparticle (NP) dosing and cellular internalization via phagocytosis significantly enhances survival of ex vivo cultures of primary bone marrow-derived, alveolar, and peritoneal macrophages over particle-free controls. The enhanced survival is attributed to suppression of caspase-dependent apoptosis and is linked to phagocytosis and lysosomal signaling. Uniquely, poly(ethylene glycol)-based NP treatment extended cell viability in the absence of macrophage polarization and enhanced expression of pro-survival B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein in macrophages following multiple routes of in vivo administration. The enhanced survival phenomenon is also applicable to NPs of alternative chemistries, indicating the potential universality of this phenomenon with relevant drug delivery particles. These findings provide a framework for extending the lifespan of primary macrophages ex vivo for drug screening, vaccine studies, and cell therapies and has implications for any in vivo particulate immune-engineering applications.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common respiratory pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients which undergoes adaptations during chronic infection towards reduced virulence, which can facilitate bacterial evasion of killing by host cells. However, inflammatory cytokines are often found to be elevated in CF patients, and it is unknown how chronic P. aeruginosa infection can be paradoxically associated with both diminished virulence in vitro and increased inflammation and disease progression. Thus, we investigated the relationship between the stimulation of inflammatory cell death pathways by CF P. aeruginosa respiratory isolates and the expression of key inflammatory cytokines. We show that early respiratory isolates of P. aeruginosa from CF patients potently induce inflammasome signaling, cell death, and expression of IL-1β by macrophages, yet little expression of other inflammatory cytokines (TNF, IL-6 and IL-8). In contrast, chronic P. aeruginosa isolates induce relatively poor macrophage inflammasome signaling, cell death, and IL-1β expression but paradoxically excessive production of TNF, IL-6 and IL-8 compared to early P. aeruginosa isolates. Using various mutants of P. aeruginosa, we show that the premature cell death of macrophages caused by virulent bacteria compromises their ability to express cytokines. Contrary to the belief that chronic P. aeruginosa isolates are less pathogenic, we reveal that infections with chronic P. aeruginosa isolates result in increased cytokine induction due to their failure to induce immune cell death, which results in a relatively intense inflammation compared with early isolates.

Abstract
Macrophages are one of the important cell types in the innate immune system that are present in various anatomical regions of the body and promote early control of pathogens. The relative proportion of macrophages in various lymphoid and non-lymphoid regions is small, and as such it is tedious to purify these cells to homogeneity. Culture of bone marrow precursors with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) results in their differentiation to macrophages, however this procedure results in low numbers of differentiated macrophages. Herein we reveal a new approach of generating increased numbers of differentiated macrophages from bone marrow precursors. We show that M-CSF delivered in a plate-bound form results in the differentiation of significantly more macrophages in comparison to soluble M-CSF. Furthermore, the macrophages differentiated with plate-bound M-CSF display increased metabolic activity and cell death following infection with pathogens.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting serine threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a widely expressed kinase that is essential for limiting inflammation in both mice and humans. Mice lacking RIPK1 die at birth from multiorgan inflammation and aberrant cell death, whereas humans lacking RIPK1 are immunodeficient and develop very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease. In contrast to complete loss of RIPK1, inhibiting the kinase activity of RIPK1 genetically or pharmacologically prevents cell death and inflammation in several mouse disease models. Indeed, small molecule inhibitors of RIPK1 are in phase I clinical trials for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and phase II clinical trials for psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. This review focuses on which signaling pathways use RIPK1, how activation of RIPK1 is regulated, and when activation of RIPK1 appears to be an important driver of inflammation.

Abstract
Myocardial dysfunction is a prime cause of death in sepsis. This study is to delve into the function of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in myocardial injury induced by sepsis. Sepsis-induced myocardial injury model in rat was initiated by intraperitoneally injecting of LPS (10 mg/kg) in vivo, and cardiomyocyte H9c2 was treated with LPS to mimic sepsis in vitro. KCNQ1OT1 and miR-192-5p expressions were detected by qRT-PCR. The cell viability was probed with CCK-8 experiment and the apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes was tested using flow cytometry analysis. Western blot was operated to determine apoptosis-related proteins expressions. ELISA was used to evaluate the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. Bioinformatics analysis, RT-PCR, dual luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation experiment were utilized to detect the interrelation of genes. Herein, we proved that KCNQ1OT1 was considerably down-regulated, whereas miR-192-5p was markedly increased in myocardial tissues of septic rats. KCNQ1OT1 interrelated with miR-192-5p, and negatively modulated its expression levels. Overexpression of KCNQ1OT1 or the transfection of miR-192-5p inhibitors greatly facilitated the viability and impeded the apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes. miR-192-5p paired with the 3ʹUTR of XIAP, and repressed its protein expression, and XIAP was modulated positively by KCNQ1OT1. In conclusion, our work indicates that down-regulation of KCNQ1OT1 advances cardiac injury through regulating miR-192-5p/XIAP axis during sepsis. Impact statement Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy remains to be a major challenge to health care systems around the globe. There are no known therapies currently available that can cure the disease. This study provides convincing evidence that KCNQ1OT1 could attenuate sepsis-mediated myocardial injury. We further demonstrate that the beneficial function of KCNQ1OT1 was achieved by regulating the miR-192-5p/XIAP axis. We therefore found a new mechanism of cardioprotective effect of KCNQ1OT1, one which also offers a novel theoretical basis for the therapy of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
The necrosome is a protein complex required for signaling in cells that results in necroptosis, which is also dependent on tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) signaling. TNFα promotes necroptosis, and its expression is facilitated by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) but is inhibited by the RNA-binding protein tristetraprolin (TTP, encoded by the Zfp36 gene). We have stimulated murine macrophages from WT, MyD88 -/-, Trif -/-, MyD88 -/- Trif -/-, MK2 -/-, and Zfp36 -/- mice with graded doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and various inhibitors to evaluate the role of various genes in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-induced necroptosis. Necrosome signaling, cytokine production, and cell death were evaluated by immunoblotting, ELISA, and cell death assays, respectively. We observed that during TLR4 signaling, necrosome activation is mediated through the adaptor proteins MyD88 and TRIF, and this is inhibited by MK2. In the absence of MK2-mediated necrosome activation, lipopolysaccharide-induced TNFα expression was drastically reduced, but MK2-deficient cells became highly sensitive to necroptosis even at low TNFα levels. In contrast, during tonic TLR4 signaling, WT cells did not undergo necroptosis, even when MK2 was disabled. Of note, necroptosis occurred only in the absence of TTP and was mediated by the expression of TNFα and activation of JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK). These results reveal that TTP plays an important role in inhibiting TNFα/JNK-induced necrosome signaling and resultant cytotoxicity.

Abstract
New therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis are needed because current treatments are often suboptimal in terms of both efficacy and the risks of serious adverse events. Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are E3 ubiquitin ligases that inhibit cell death pathways and are themselves inhibited by second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases (SMAC). SMAC mimetics (SMs), small-molecule antagonists of IAPs, are being evaluated as cancer therapies in clinical trials. IAPs are also crucial regulators of inflammatory pathways because they influence both the activation of inflammatory genes and the induction of cell death through the receptor-interacting serine-threonine protein kinases (RIPKs), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-inducing kinase, and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Furthermore, there is an increasing interest in specifically targeting the substrates of IAP-mediated ubiquitylation, especially RIPK1, RIPK2, and RIPK3, as druggable nodes in inflammation control. Several studies have revealed an anti-inflammatory potential of RIPK inhibitors that either block inflammatory signaling or block the form of inflammatory cell death known as necroptosis. Expanding research on innate immune signaling through pattern recognition receptors that stimulate proinflammatory NF-κB and MAPK signaling may further contribute to uncovering the complex molecular roles used by IAPs and downstream RIPKs in inflammatory signaling. This may benefit and guide the development of SMs or selective RIPK inhibitors as anti-inflammatory therapeutics for various chronic inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Talc and titanium dioxide are naturally occurring water-insoluble mined products usually available in the form of particulate matter. This study was prompted by epidemiological observations suggesting that perineal use of talc powder is associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer, particularly in a milieu with higher estrogen. We aimed to test the effects of talc vs. control particles on the ability of prototypical macrophage cell lines to curb the growth of ovarian cancer cells in culture in the presence of estrogen. We found that murine ovarian surface epithelial cells (MOSEC), a prototype of certain forms of ovarian cancer, were present in larger numbers after co-culture with macrophages treated to a combination of talc and estradiol than to either agent alone or vehicle. Control particles (titanium dioxide, concentrated urban air particulates or diesel exhaust particles) did not have this effect. Co-exposure of macrophages to talc and estradiol has led to increased production of reactive oxygen species and changes in expression of macrophage genes pertinent in cancer development and immunosurveillance. These findings suggest that in vitro exposure to talc, particularly in a high-estrogen environment, may compromise immunosurveillance functions of macrophages and prompt further studies to elucidate this mechanism.

Abstract
Macrophages are highly plastic cells of the innate immune system. Macrophages play central roles in immunity against microbes and contribute to a wide array of pathologies. The processes of macrophage activation and their functions have attracted considerable attention from life scientists. Although macrophages are highly resistant to many toxic stimuli, including oxidative stress, macrophage death has been reported in certain diseases, such as viral infections, tuberculosis, atherosclerotic plaque development, inflammation, and sepsis. While most studies on macrophage death focused on apoptosis, a significant body of data indicates that programmed necrotic cell death forms may be equally important modes of macrophage death. Three such regulated necrotic cell death modalities in macrophages contribute to different pathologies, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, and parthanatos. Various reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and peroxynitrite have been shown to act as triggers, mediators, or modulators in regulated necrotic cell death pathways. Here we discuss recent advances in necroptosis, pyroptosis, and parthanatos, with a strong focus on the role of redox homeostasis in the regulation of these events.

Abstract
Macrophages are well recognized for their dual roles in orchestrating inflammatory responses and regulating tissue repair. In almost all acutely inflamed tissues, 2 main subclasses of macrophages coexist. These include embryonically derived resident tissue macrophages and BM-derived recruited macrophages. While it is clear that macrophage subsets categorized in this fashion display distinct transcriptional and functional profiles, whether all cells within these categories and in the same inflammatory microenvironment share similar functions or whether further specialization exists has not been determined. To investigate inflammatory macrophage heterogeneity on a more granular level, we induced acute lung inflammation in mice and performed single cell RNA sequencing of macrophages isolated from the airspaces during health, peak inflammation, and resolution of inflammation. In doing so, we confirm that cell origin is the major determinant of alveolar macrophage (AM) programing, and, to our knowledge, we describe 2 previously uncharacterized, transcriptionally distinct subdivisions of AMs based on proliferative capacity and inflammatory programing.
