Abstract
Cardiac ischemia results in anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid accumulation and with time, intracellular and extracellular acidosis. Ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury (IRI) lead to various forms of programmed cell death. Necroptosis is a major form of programmed necrosis that worsens cardiac function directly and also promotes inflammation by the release of cellular contents. Potential effects of increasing acidosis on programmed cell death and their specific components have not been well studied. While apoptosis is caspase-dependent, in contrast, necroptosis is mediated by the receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 and 3 (RIPK1/3). In our study, we observed that at physiological pH = 7.4, caspase-8 inhibition did not prevent TNFα-induced cell death in mouse cardiac vascular endothelial cells (MVECs) but promoted necroptotic cell death. As expected, necroptosis was blocked by RIPK1 inhibition. However, at pH = 6.5, TNFα induced an apoptosis-like pattern which was inhibited by caspase-8 inhibition. Interestingly phosphorylation of necroptotic molecules RIPK1, RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) was enhanced in an acidic pH environment. However, RIPK3 and MLKL phosphorylation was self-limited which may have limited their participation in necroptosis. In addition, an acidic pH promoted apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) cleavage and nuclear translocation. AIF RNA silencing inhibited cell death, supporting the role of AIF in this cell death. In summary, our study demonstrated that the pH of the micro-environment during inflammation can bias cell death pathways by altering the function of necroptosis-related molecules and promoting AIF-mediated cell death. Further insights into the mechanisms by which an acidic cellular micro-environment influences these and perhaps other forms of regulated cell death, may lead to therapeutic strategies to attenuate IRI.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) encompasses the damage resulting from the restoration of blood supply following tissue ischemia. This phenomenon commonly occurs in clinical scenarios such as hemorrhagic shock, severe trauma, organ transplantation, and thrombolytic therapy. Despite its prevalence, existing treatments exhibit limited efficacy against IRI. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a widely utilized technique for modulating the autonomic nervous system. Numerous studies have demonstrated that VNS significantly reduces IRI in various organs, including the heart, brain, and liver. This article reviews the pathological processes during IRI and summarizes the role and possible mechanisms of VNS in IRI of different organs. Furthermore, this review addresses the current challenges of VNS clinical applications, providing a novel perspective on IRI treatment.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical pathological condition in which cell death plays a major contributory role, and negatively impacts post-transplant outcomes. At the cellular level, hypoxia due to ischemia disturbs cellular metabolism and decreases cellular bioenergetics through dysfunction of mitochondrial electron transport chain, causing a switch from cellular respiration to anaerobic metabolism, and subsequent cascades of events that lead to increased intracellular concentrations of Na+, H+ and Ca2+ and consequently cellular edema. Restoration of blood supply after ischemia provides oxygen to the ischemic tissue in excess of its requirement, resulting in over-production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which overwhelms the cells' antioxidant defence system, and thereby causing oxidative damage in addition to activating pro-inflammatory pathways to cause cell death. Moderate ischemia and reperfusion may result in cell dysfunction, which may not lead to cell death due to activation of recovery systems to control ROS production and to ensure cell survival. However, prolonged and severe ischemia and reperfusion induce cell death by apoptosis, mitoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, autophagy, mitophagy, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, cuproptosis and parthanoptosis. This review discusses cellular and molecular mechanisms of these various forms of cell death in the context of organ transplantation, and their inhibition, which holds clinical promise in the quest to prevent IRI and improve allograft quality and function for a long-term success of organ transplantation.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable pathophysiological phenomenon in kidney transplantation. Necroptosis is an undoubtedly important contributing mechanism in renal IRI. We first screened differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes (DENRGs) from public databases. Eight DENRGs were validated by independent datasets and verified by qRT-PCR in a rat IRI model. We used univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to establish a prognostic signature, and graft survival analysis was performed. Immune infiltrating landscape analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to understand the underlying mechanisms of graft loss, which suggested that necroptosis may aggravate the immune response, resulting in graft loss. Subsequently, a delayed graft function (DGF) diagnostic signature was constructed using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and exhibited robust efficacy in validation datasets. After comprehensively analyzing DENRGs during IRI, we successfully constructed a prognostic signature and DGF predictive signature, which may provide clinical insights for kidney transplant.

Abstract
Receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is an intracellular kinase at the crossroads of cell death and inflammation. RIPK3 contains a RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM) domain which allows interactions with other RHIM-containing proteins and a kinase domain that allows phosphorylation of target proteins. RIPK3 may be activated through interaction with RHIM-containing proteins such as RIPK1, TRIF and DAI (ZBP1, DLM-1) or through RHIM-independent mechanisms in an alkaline intracellular pH. RIPK3 mediates necroptosis and promotes inflammation, independently of necroptosis, through either activation of NFκB or the inflammasome. There is in vivo preclinical evidence of the contribution of RIPK3 to both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to the AKI-to-CKD transition derived from RIPK3 deficient mice or the use of small molecule RIPK3 inhibitors. In these studies, RIPK3 targeting decreased inflammation but kidney injury improved only in some contexts. Clinical translation of these findings has been delayed by the potential of some small molecule inhibitors of RIPK3 kinase activity to trigger apoptotic cell death by inducing conformational changes of the protein. A better understanding of the conformational changes in RIPK3 that trigger apoptosis, dual RIPK3/RIPK1 inhibitors or repurposing of multiple kinase inhibitors such as dabrafenib may facilitate clinical development of the RIPK3 inhibition concept for diverse inflammatory diseases, including kidney diseases.

Abstract
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), an evolutionarily highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase, plays a prominent role in controlling gene expression, metabolism, and cell death. Programmed cell death (PCD) is indispensable for maintaining homeostasis by removing senescent, defective, or malignant cells. Necroptosis, a type of PCD, relies on the interplay between receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinases (RIPKs) and the membrane perforation by mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), which is distinguished from apoptosis. With the development of necroptosis-regulating mechanisms, the importance of mTOR in the complex network of intersecting signaling pathways that govern the process has become more evident. mTOR is directly responsible for the regulation of RIPKs. Autophagy is an indirect mechanism by which mTOR regulates the removal and interaction of RIPKs. Another necroptosis trigger is reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by oxidative stress; mTOR regulates necroptosis by exploiting ROS. Considering the intricacy of the signal network, it is reasonable to assume that mTOR exerts a bifacial effect on necroptosis. However, additional research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms underlying mTOR activation and necroptosis and highlighted the signaling pathway through which mTOR regulates necroptosis. The development of therapeutic targets for various diseases has been greatly advanced by the expanding knowledge of how mTOR regulates necroptosis.

Abstract
The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been increasing worldwide. Its treatment involves renal replacement therapy, either by dialyses or renal transplantation from a living or deceased donor. Although the initial mortality rates for patients on dialysis are comparable with kidney transplant recipients, the quality of life and long-term prognosis are greatly improved in transplanted patients. However, there is a large gap between availability and need for donor kidneys. This has led to the increase in the use of expanded kidney donor criteria. Allograft dysfunction immediately after transplant sets it up for many complications, such as acute rejection and shorter allograft survival. Delayed graft function (DGF) is one of the immediate posttransplant insults to the kidney allograft, which is increasing in prevalence due to efforts to maximize the available donor pool for kidneys and use of expanded kidney donor criteria. In this review, we discuss the risk factors for DGF, its implications for long-term allograft survival, animal models of DGF, and the therapeutic options currently under evaluation for prevention and management of DGF.

Abstract
Postoperative multi-organ dysfunction (MOD) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Necroptosis has been implicated in different types of solid organ injury; however, the mechanisms linking necroptosis to inflammation require further elucidation. The present study examines the involvement of necroptosis and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in small intestine injury following traumatic surgery. Kidney transplantation in rats and renal ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) in mice were used as traumatic and laparotomic surgery models to study necroptosis and inflammasome activation in the small intestinal post-surgery; additional groups also received receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitor necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s). To investigate whether necroptosis regulates inflammasome activity in vitro, necroptosis was induced in human colonic epithelial cancer cells (Caco-2) by a combination of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), SMAC mimetic LCL-161 and pan-caspase inhibitor Q-VD-Oph (together, TLQ), and necroptosis was blocked by Nec-1s or mixed lineage kinase-domain like (MLKL) inhibitor necrosulfonamide (NSA). Renal transplantation and renal ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) upregulated the expression of necroptosis mediators (RIPK1; RIPK3; phosphorylated-MLKL) and inflammasome components (P2X purinoceptor subfamily 7, P2X7R; NLRP3; caspase-1) in the small intestines at 24 h, and Nec-1s suppressed the expression of inflammasome components. TLQ treatment induced NLRP3 inflammasome, promoted cleavage of caspase-1 and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and stimulated extracellular ATP release from Caco-2 cells, and MLKL inhibitor NSA prevented TLQ-induced inflammasome activity and ATP release from Caco-2 cells. Our work suggested that necroptosis and inflammasome interactively promote remote postoperative small intestinal injury, at least in part, through ATP purinergic signalling. Necroptosis-inflammasome axis may be considered as novel therapeutic target for tackling postoperative MOD in the critical care settings.

Abstract
Transplantation is a life-saving therapy for patients with end-stage organ disease. Successful outcomes after transplantation require mitigation of the post-transplant inflammatory response, limiting alloreactivity, and prevention of organ rejection. Traditional immunosuppressive regimens aim to dampen the adaptive immune response; however, recent studies have shown the feasibility and efficacy of targeting the innate immune response. Necroinflammation initiated by donor organ cell death is implicated as a critical mediator of primary graft dysfunction, acute rejection, and chronic rejection. Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that triggers post-transplantation inflammation and drives the activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells. There is a growing acceptance of the clinical relevance of ferroptosis to solid organ transplantation. Modulating ferroptosis may be a potentially promising strategy to reduce complications after organ transplantation.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with reduced allograft survival, and each additional hour of cold ischemia time increases the risk of graft failure and mortality following renal transplantation. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is a key effector of necroptosis, a regulated form of cell death. Here, we evaluate the first-in-human RIPK3 expression dataset following IRI in kidney transplantation. The primary analysis included 374 baseline biopsy samples obtained from renal allografts 10 minutes after onset of reperfusion. RIPK3 was primarily detected in proximal tubular cells and distal tubular cells, both of which are affected by IRI. Time-to-event analysis revealed that high RIPK3 expression is associated with a significantly higher risk of one-year transplant failure and prognostic for one-year (death-censored) transplant failure independent of donor and recipient associated risk factors in multivariable analyses. The RIPK3 score also correlated with deceased donation, cold ischemia time and the extent of tubular injury.

Liao Z, Zhu Q, Huang H. Involvement of IL-1β-Mediated Necroptosis in Neurodevelopment Impairment after Neonatal Sepsis in Rats. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14693. [PMID: 37834141 PMCID: PMC10572485 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The mechanism of long-term cognitive impairment after neonatal sepsis remains poorly understood, although long-lasting neuroinflammation has been considered the primary contributor. Necroptosis is actively involved in the inflammatory process, and in this study, we aimed to determine whether neonatal sepsis-induced long-term cognitive impairment was associated with activation of necroptosis. Rat pups on postnatal day 3 (P3) received intraperitoneal injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 mg/kg) to induce neonatal sepsis. Intracerebroventricular injection of IL-1β-siRNA and necrostatin-1 (NEC1) were performed to block the production of IL-1β and activation of necroptosis in the brain, respectively. The Morris water maze task and fear conditioning test were performed on P28-P32 and P34-P35, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR), and Western blotting were used to examine the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines and necroptosis-associated proteins, such as receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) and receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3). Sustained elevation of IL-1β level was observed in the brain after initial neonatal sepsis, which would last for at least 32 days. Sustained necroptosis activation was also observed in the brain. Knockdown of IL-1β expression in the brain alleviated necroptosis and improved long-term cognitive function. Direct inhibition of necroptosis also improved neurodevelopment and cognitive performance. This research indicated that sustained activation of necroptosis via IL-1β contributed to long-term cognitive dysfunction after neonatal sepsis.

Abstract
Organ transplantation remains the only treatment option for patients with end-stage organ dysfunction. However, there are numerous limitations that challenge its clinical application, including the shortage of organ donations, the quality of donated organs, injury during organ preservation and reperfusion, primary and chronic graft dysfunction, acute and chronic rejection, infection, and carcinogenesis in post-transplantation patients. Acute and chronic inflammation and cell death are two major underlying mechanisms for graft injury. Necroptosis is a type of programmed cell death involved in many diseases and has been studied in the setting of all major solid organ transplants, including the kidney, heart, liver, and lung. It is determined by the underlying donor organ conditions (e.g., age, alcohol consumption, fatty liver, hemorrhage shock, donation after circulatory death, etc.), preservation conditions and reperfusion, and allograft rejection. The specific molecular mechanisms of necroptosis have been uncovered in the organ transplantation setting, and potential targeting drugs have been identified. We hope this review article will promote more clinical research to determine the role of necroptosis and other types of programmed cell death in solid organ transplantation to alleviate the clinical burden of ischemia-reperfusion injury and graft rejection.

FASEB J 2023; 37:e22847.

Abstract
Photoreceptor transplant has been put forward as a repair strategy to tackle degenerated retinas. Nonetheless, cell death and immune rejection seriously limit the success of this strategy, with only a small fraction of transplanted cells surviving. Improving the survival of transplanted cells is of critical importance. Recent evidence has identified receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) as a molecular trigger controlling necroptotic cell death and inflammation. However, its role in photoreceptor transplantation and regenerative medicine has not been studied. We hypothesized that modulation of RIPK3 to address both cell death and immunity could have advantageous effects on photoreceptor survival. In a model of inherited retinal degeneration, deletion of RIPK3 in donor photoreceptor precursors significantly increases the survival of transplanted cells. Simultaneous RIPK3 deletion in donor photoreceptors and recipients maximizes graft survival. Lastly, to discern the role of RIPK3 in the host immune response, bone marrow transplant experiments demonstrated that peripheral immune cell RIPK3 deficiency is protective for both donor and host photoreceptor survival. Interestingly, this finding is independent of photoreceptor transplantation, as the peripheral protective effect is also observed in an additional retinal detachment photoreceptor degeneration model. Altogether, these results indicate that immunomodulatory and neuroprotective strategies targeting the RIPK3 pathway can aid regenerative therapies of photoreceptor transplantation.

RIP3-mediated microglial necroptosis promotes neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy. Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:227. [PMID: 36991017 PMCID: PMC10060420 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-023-05660-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023]
Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness that poses significant public health concerns worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that neuroinflammation plays a key role in the early stages of DR. Microglia, long-lived immune cells in the central nervous system, can become activated in response to pathological insults and contribute to retinal neuroinflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms of microglial activation during the early stages of DR are not fully understood. In this study, we used in vivo and in vitro assays to investigate the role of microglial activation in the early pathogenesis of DR. We found that activated microglia triggered an inflammatory cascade through a process called necroptosis, a newly discovered pathway of regulated cell death. In the diabetic retina, key components of the necroptotic machinery, including RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL, were highly expressed and mainly localized in activated microglia. Knockdown of RIP3 in DR mice reduced microglial necroptosis and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, blocking necroptosis with the specific inhibitor GSK-872 improved retinal neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, as well as visual function in diabetic mice. RIP3-mediated necroptosis was activated and contributed to inflammation in BV2 microglia under hyperglycaemic conditions. Our data demonstrate the importance of microglial necroptosis in retinal neuroinflammation related to diabetes and suggest that targeting necroptosis in microglia may be a promising therapeutic strategy for the early stages of DR.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome-derived miR-874-3p targeting RIPK1/PGAM5 attenuates kidney tubular epithelial cell damage. Cell Mol Biol Lett 2023; 28:12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney insults due to various pathogenic factors, such as trauma, infection, and inflammation, can cause tubular epithelial cell injury and death, leading to acute kidney injury and the transformation of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease. There is no definitive treatment available. In previous studies, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to promote kidney injury. In this preclinical study, we investigate the role and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (HucMSC-Exos) on the repair of renal tubular epithelial cells after injury. METHODS C57BL/6 mice underwent unilateral ureteral obstruction, and epithelial cell injury was induced in HK-2 cells by cisplatin. HucMSC-Exos were assessed in vivo and in vitro. The extent of renal cell injury, activation of necroptosis pathway, and mitochondrial quality-control-related factors were determined in different groups. We also analyzed the possible regulatory effector molecules in HucMSC-Exos by transcriptomics. RESULTS HucMSC-Exo inhibited necroptosis after renal tubular epithelial cell injury and promoted the dephosphorylation of the S637 site of the Drp1 gene by reducing the expression of PGAM5. This subsequently inhibited mitochondrial fission and maintained mitochondrial functional homeostasis, mitigating renal injury and promoting repair. In addition, HucMSC-Exo displayed a regulatory role by targeting RIPK1 through miR-874-3p. CONCLUSION The collective findings of the present study demonstrate that HucMSC-Exos can regulate necroptosis through miR-874-3p to attenuate renal tubular epithelial cell injury and enhance repair, providing new therapeutic modalities and ideas for the treatment of AKI and the process of AKI to CKD transformation to mitigate renal damage.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) is a broad-spectrum antineoplastic agent, used to treat many different types of malignancies due to its high efficacy and low cost. However, its use is largely limited by acute kidney injury (AKI), which, if left untreated, may progress to cause irreversible chronic renal dysfunction. Despite substantial research, the exact mechanisms of CP-induced AKI are still so far unclear and effective therapies are lacking and desperately needed. In recent years, necroptosis, a novel subtype of regulated necrosis, and autophagy, a form of homeostatic housekeeping mechanism have witnessed a burgeoning interest owing to their potential to regulate and alleviate CP-induced AKI. In this review, we elucidate in detail the molecular mechanisms and potential roles of both autophagy and necroptosis in CP-induced AKI. We also explore the potential of targeting these pathways to overcome CP-induced AKI according to recent advances.

Abstract
Cell death, particularly that of tubule epithelial cells, contributes critically to the pathophysiology of kidney disease. A body of evidence accumulated over the past 15 years has ascribed a central pathophysiological role to a particular form of regulated necrosis, termed necroptosis, to acute tubular necrosis, nephron loss and maladaptive renal fibrogenesis. Unlike apoptosis, which is a non-immunogenic process, necroptosis results in the release of cellular contents and cytokines, which triggers an inflammatory response in neighbouring tissue. This necroinflammatory environment can lead to severe organ dysfunction and cause lasting tissue injury in the kidney. Despite evidence of a link between necroptosis and various kidney diseases, there are no available therapeutic options to target this process. Greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms, triggers and regulators of necroptosis in acute and chronic kidney diseases may identify shortcomings in current approaches to therapeutically target necroptosis regulators and lead to the development of innovative therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Background: Neonatal sepsis is known to cause neurodevelopment impairment and has been reported to increase risks for neurological/psychiatric disorders. In this study, we investigated the effect of xenon, a well-known potent neuroprotective gas, on neonatal sepsis-induced neurodevelopment impairment in rats together with underlying mechanism by focusing on receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP) mediated neuronal necroptosis. Methods: 3-day-old Sprague-Dawley rat pups were exposed to either 70% xenon or N2 balanced with O2 for 6 h, during which lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was injected intraperitoneally for 3 times (500 μg/kg for the 1st and 250 μg/kg for the second and third dose; n = 6-10/group). In another cohort of 3-day-old rat pups, intracerebroventricular injection of necrostatin-1 (4 µg in 4 µl saline, a RIP-1-targeted inhibitor of necroptosis) was performed 20 min after the third dose of LPS. The learning ability and memory were assessed 25 days after LPS injection. Then, their hippocampus was collected for neuronal necroptosis with RIP and MIKL assessments using western blot and in situ immunostaining. Systemic and neuro-inflammation was also assessed. Results: LPS insult resulted in elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-𝝰 and IL-6, caused neuronal necroptosis and damaged synaptic integrity at the brain developing stage, which finally led to the long-term cognitive impairment. Xenon inhibited necroptosis associated mediator RIP-1, RIP-3, and MLKL activation, protected neurons and attenuated cognitive dysfunction induced by LPS. Like xenon, the similar pattern changes induced by a RIP-1 inhibitor Necrostatin-1 were also found. Conclusion: This study indicates that necroptosis is involved in neonatal sepsis-induced neurofunctional impairments and xenon may be a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent/treat cognitive impairment in neonatal septic patients.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury is an inevitable event during organ transplantation and represents a primary risk factor for the development of early graft dysfunction in lung, heart, liver, and kidney transplant recipients. Recent studies have implicated recipient neutrophils as key mediators of this process and also have found that early innate immune responses after transplantation can ultimately augment adaptive alloimmunity and affect late graft outcomes. Here, we discuss signaling pathways involved in neutrophil recruitment and activation after ischemia-mediated graft injury in solid organ transplantation with an emphasis on lung allografts, which have been the focus of recent studies. These findings suggest novel therapeutic interventions that target ischemia-reperfusion injury-mediated graft dysfunction in transplant recipients.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, mechanisms of programmed cell death have attracted the scientific community because they are involved in diverse human diseases. Initially, apoptosis was considered as a crucial mechanistic pathway for programmed cell death; recently, an alternative regulated mode of cell death was identified, mimicking the features of both apoptosis and necrosis. Several lines of evidence have revealed that dysregulation of necroptosis leads to pathological diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, lung, renal, hepatic, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory diseases. Regulated forms of necrosis are executed by death receptor ligands through the activation of receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)-1/3 and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), resulting in the formation of a necrosome complex. Many papers based on genetic and pharmacological studies have shown that RIPKs and MLKL are the key regulatory effectors during the progression of multiple pathological diseases. This review focused on illuminating the mechanisms underlying necroptosis, the functions of necroptosis-associated proteins, and their influences on disease progression. We also discuss numerous natural and chemical compounds and novel targeted therapies that elicit beneficial roles of necroptotic cell death in malignant cells to bypass apoptosis and drug resistance and to provide suggestions for further research in this field.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease with irreversible and continuous progression. It has become the fifth most burdensome disease and the third most deadly disease globally. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of COPD are urgent, and it is also important to clarify the pathogenesis of it. Smoking is the main and most common risk factor for COPD. Cigarette smoke (CS) can cause lung inflammation and other pathological mechanisms in the airways and lung tissue. Airway inflammation is one of the important mechanisms leading to the pathogenesis of COPD. Recent studies have shown that high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is involved in the occurrence and development of respiratory diseases, including COPD. HMGB1 is a typical damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) protein, which mainly exerts its activity by binding to the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and further participate in the process of airway inflammation. Studies have shown that the abnormal expression of HMGB1, RAGE, and TLR4 are related to inflammation in COPD. Herein, we discuss the roles of HMGB1, RAGE, and TLR4 in CS/cigarette smoke extract-induced inflammation in COPD, providing a new target for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of COPD.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the only definitive therapy for end-stage kidney disease. The shortage of organs for transplantation is the main limitation of this life-saving treatment. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel preservation technique with the potential to increase the number of transplantable kidneys through reducing delayed graft function and organ evaluation under physiological conditions. To date, the cellular effects and possible pharmacological interventions during machine perfusion are incompletely understood. A major limitation is the technically complex, time-consuming, and small-scale replication of NMP in rodent models. To overcome this, we developed a 3D-printed, high throughput ex-vivo mouse kidney slice incubator (KSI) mimicking mouse kidney NMP by working under closely resembling conditions. KSI significantly reduced the time per experiment and increased the sample throughput (theoretical: 54 incubations with n = 500/day). The model recapitulated the cellular responses during NMP, namely increased endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress). Using KSI, five pharmacological interventions against ER stress taken from the literature were tested. While four were ineffective and excluded, one, β-Nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NADH), ameliorated ER stress significantly during KSI. The test of NADH in mouse kidney NMP replicated the positive effects against ER stress. This suggests that testing the addition of NADH during clinical kidney NMP might be warranted.

Abstract
The receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3) has been reported to regulate programmed necrosis-necroptosis forms of cell death with important functions in inflammation. We investigated whether RIP3 translocates into mitochondria in response to renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) to interact with inner mitochondrial protein (Mitofilin) and promote mtDNA release into the cytosol. We found that release of mtDNA activates the cGAS-STING pathway, leading to increased nuclear transcription of pro-inflammatory markers that exacerbate renal I/R injury. Monolateral C57/6N and RIP3-/- mice kidneys were subjected to 60 min of ischemia followed by either 12, 24, or 48 h of reperfusion. In WT mice, we found that renal I/R injury increased RIP3 levels, as well as its translocation into mitochondria. We observed that RIP3 interacts with Mitofilin, likely promoting its degradation, resulting in increased mitochondria damage and mtDNA release, activation of the cGAS-STING-p65 pathway, and increased transcription of pro-inflammatory markers. All of these effects observed in WT mice were decreased in RIP3-/- mice. In HK-2, RIP3 overexpression or Mitofilin knockdown increased cell death by activating the cGAS-STING-p65 pathway. Together, this study point to an important role of the RIP3-Mitofilin axis in the initiation and development of renal I/R injury.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a form of regulated necrosis mainly controlled by receptor-interacting protein kinases 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Necroptosis has important roles in defensing against pathogenic infections, but it is also implicated in various inflammatory diseases including pancreatitis. Baicalin, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-pyroptosis properties, yet it is unclear whether baicalin can inhibit necroptosis and confer protection against necroptosis-related diseases. Here we reported that baicalin significantly inhibited necroptosis in macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide plus pan-caspase inhibitor (IDN-6556), or by tumor-necrosis factor-α in combination with LCL-161 (Smac mimetic) and IDN-6556 (TSI). Mechanistically, baicalin did not inhibit the phosphorylation of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL, nor membrane translocation of p-MLKL, during necroptotic induction, but instead inhibited p-MLKL oligomerization that is required for executing necroptosis. As intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been reported to be involved in p-MLKL oligomerization, we assessed the effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), an ROS scavenger, on necroptosis and found that NAC significantly attenuated TSI-induced necroptosis and intracellular ROS production concomitantly with reduced levels of oligomerized p-MLKL, mirroring the effect of baicalin. Indeed, inhibitory effect of baicalin was associated with reduced TSI-induced superoxide (indicating mitochondrial ROS) production and increased mitochondrial membrane potential within cells during necroptosis. Besides, oral administration of baicalin significantly reduced the severity of caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice, an animal model of necroptosis-related disease. Collectively, baicalin can inhibit necroptosis through attenuating p-MLKL oligomerization and confers protection against caerulein-induced pancreatitis in mice.

Abstract
Necroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI), and necroptosis-related interventions may therefore be an important measure for the treatment of AKI. Our previous study has shown that augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) inhibits renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and regulates autophagy; however, the influence of ALR on necroptosis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of ALR on necroptosis caused by ischemia-reperfusion and the underlying mechanism. In vivo experiments indicated that kidney-specific knockout of ALR aggravated the renal dysfunction and pathological damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion. Simultaneously, the expression of renal necroptosis-associated protein receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3), and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) significantly increased. In vitro experiments indicated that overexpression of ALR decreased the expression of hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced kidney injury molecules, the inflammation-associated factor tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and monocyte chemotactic protein. Additionally, the expression of RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL, which are elevated after hypoxia and reoxygenation, was also inhibited by ALR overexpression. Both in vivo and in vitro results indicated that ALR has a protective effect against acute kidney injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion, and the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL pathway should be further verified as a probable necroptosis regulating mechanism.

Abstract
Understanding nephron loss is a primary strategy for preventing CKD progression. Death of renal tubular cells may occur by apoptosis during developmental and regenerative processes. However, during AKI, the transition of AKI to CKD, sepsis-associated AKI, and kidney transplantation ferroptosis and necroptosis, two pathways associated with the loss of plasma membrane integrity, kill renal cells. This necrotic type of cell death is associated with an inflammatory response, which is referred to as necroinflammation. Importantly, the necroinflammatory response to cells that die by necroptosis may be fundamentally different from the tissue response to ferroptosis. Although mechanisms of ferroptosis and necroptosis have recently been investigated in detail, the cell death propagation during tubular necrosis, although described morphologically, remains incompletely understood. Here, we argue that a molecular switch downstream of tubular necrosis determines nephron regeneration versus nephron loss. Unraveling the details of this "switch" must include the inflammatory response to tubular necrosis and regenerative signals potentially controlled by inflammatory cells, including the stimulation of myofibroblasts as the origin of fibrosis. Understanding in detail the molecular switch and the inflammatory responses to tubular necrosis can inform the discussion of therapeutic options.

Abstract
The mechanisms that drive leukocyte recruitment to the kidney are incompletely understood. Dipeptidase-1 (DPEP1) is a major neutrophil adhesion receptor highly expressed on proximal tubular cells and peritubular capillaries of the kidney. Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) induces robust neutrophil and monocyte recruitment and causes acute kidney injury (AKI). Renal inflammation and the AKI phenotype were attenuated in Dpep1-/- mice or mice pretreated with DPEP1 antagonists, including the LSALT peptide, a nonenzymatic DPEP1 inhibitor. DPEP1 deficiency or inhibition primarily blocked neutrophil adhesion to peritubular capillaries and reduced inflammatory monocyte recruitment to the kidney after IRI. CD44 but not ICAM-1 blockade also decreased neutrophil recruitment to the kidney during IRI and was additive to DPEP1 effects. DPEP1, CD44, and ICAM-1 all contributed to the recruitment of monocyte/macrophages to the kidney following IRI. These results identify DPEP1 as a major leukocyte adhesion receptor in the kidney and potential therapeutic target for AKI.

Abstract
TNF ligation of TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) promotes either inflammation and cell survival by (a) inhibiting RIPK1's death-signaling function and activating NF-κB or (b) causing RIPK1 to associate with the death-inducing signaling complex to initiate apoptosis or necroptosis. The cellular source of TNF that results in RIPK1-dependent cell death remains unclear. To address this, we employed in vitro systems and murine models of T cell-dependent transplant or tumor rejection in which target cell susceptibility to RIPK1-dependent cell death could be genetically altered. We show that TNF released by T cells is necessary and sufficient to activate RIPK1-dependent cell death in target cells and thereby mediate target cell cytolysis independently of T cell frequency. Activation of the RIPK1-dependent cell death program in target cells by T cell-derived TNF accelerates murine cardiac allograft rejection and synergizes with anti-PD1 administration to destroy checkpoint blockade-resistant murine melanoma. Together, the findings uncover a distinct immunological role for TNF released by cytotoxic effector T cells following cognate interactions with their antigenic targets. Manipulating T cell TNF and/or target cell susceptibility to RIPK1-dependent cell death can be exploited to either mitigate or augment T cell-dependent destruction of allografts and malignancies to improve outcomes.

Abstract
The receptor interacting protein kinases 1/3 (RIPK1/3) have emerged as the key mediators in cell death pathways and inflammatory signaling, whose ubiquitination, phosphorylation, and inhibition could regulate the necroptosis and apoptosis effectually. Recently, more and more studies show great interest in the mechanisms and the regulator of RIPK1/3-mediated inflammatory response and in the physiopathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The crosstalk of autophagy and necroptosis in cardiomyocyte death is a nonnegligible conversation of cell death. We elaborated on RIPK1/3-mediated necroptosis, pathways involved, the latest regulatory molecules and therapeutic targets in terms of ischemia reperfusion, myocardial remodeling, myocarditis, atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and cardiovascular transplantation, etc.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a distinctive type of programmed cell death different from apoptosis or necrosis, triggered by a series of death receptors such as tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), TNFR2, and Fas. In case that apoptosis process is blocked, necroptosis pathway is initiated with the activation of three key downstream mediators which are receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). The whole process eventually leads to destruction of the cell membrane integrity, swelling of organelles, and severe inflammation. Over the past decade, necroptosis has been found widely involved in life process of human beings and animals. In this review, we attempt to explore the therapeutic prospects of necroptosis regulators by describing its molecular mechanism and the role it played in pathological condition and tissue homeostasis, and to summarize the research and clinical applications of corresponding regulators including small molecule inhibitors, chemicals, Chinese herbal extracts, and biological agents in the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Cell death is an essential process in all living organisms and occurs through different mechanisms. The three main types of programmed cell death are apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, and each of these pathways employs complex molecular and cellular mechanisms. Although there are mechanisms and outcomes specific to each pathway, they share common components and features. In this review, we discuss recent discoveries in these three best understood modes of cell death, highlighting their singularities, and examining the intriguing notion that common players shape different individual pathways in this highly interconnected and coordinated cell death system. Understanding the similarities and differences of these cell death processes is crucial to enable targeted strategies to manipulate these pathways for therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
Objective. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is inevitable after kidney transplantation (KT), impairing outcomes. Relaxin-2 (RLX) is a promising insulin-related peptide hormone that protects against renal IRI in rodents, although large animal models are needed before RLX can be tested in a human setting. Methods. In this blinded, randomized, and placebo-controlled experimental study kidneys from 19 donor pigs were retrieved after perfusion with Custodiol® ± RLX (5 or 20 nmol/L) and underwent static cold storage (SCS) for 24 and 48 h, respectively. Subsequently, KT was performed after unilateral right nephrectomy. Study outcomes included markers for kidney function, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and endothelial cell damage. PCR analysis for oxidative stress and apoptosis-related gene panels as well as immunohistochemistry were performed. Results. RLX upregulated SOD2 and NFKB expression to 135% (p = 0.042) and 125% (p = 0.019), respectively, while RIPK1 expression was downregulated to 82% (p = 0.016) of corresponding controls. Further RLX significantly downregulated RIPK1 and MLKL expression and decreased the number of Caspase 3- and MPO-positive cells in grafts after SCS. Conclusions. RLX supplemented Custodiol® significantly decreased IRI via both antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. Clinical trials are warranted to implement synthetic human RLX as a novel additive to preservation solutions against IRI.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable consequence of organ transplant procedure and associated with acute and chronic organ rejection in transplantation. IRI leads to various forms of programmed cell death, which worsens tissue damage and accelerates transplant rejection. We recently demonstrated that necroptosis participates in murine cardiac microvascular endothelial cell (MVEC) death and murine cardiac transplant rejection. However, MVEC death under a more complex IRI model has not been studied. In this study, we found that simulating IRI conditions in vitro by hypoxia, reoxygenation and treatment with inflammatory cytokines induced necroptosis in MVECs. Interestingly, the apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) translocated to the nucleus during MVEC necroptosis, which is regulated by the mitochondrial permeability molecule cyclophilin D (CypD). Furthermore, CypD deficiency in donor cardiac grafts inhibited AIF translocation and mitigated graft IRI and rejection (n = 7; p = 0.002). Our studies indicate that CypD and AIF play significant roles in MVEC necroptosis and cardiac transplant rejection following IRI. Targeting CypD and its downstream AIF may be a plausible approach to inhibit IRI-caused cardiac damage and improve transplant survival.

Abstract
Inflammation posttransplant is directly linked to cell death programs including apoptosis and necrosis. Cell death leads to the release of cellular contents which can promote inflammation. Targeting of these pathways should be an effective strategy to prevent transplant rejection. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is emerging as a major endogenous sensor of inflammation. In this study, we assessed the role of TLR3 on cell death and transplant rejection. We showed that TLR3 is highly expressed on mouse microvascular endothelial cell (ECs) and the endothelium of cardiac grafts. We demonstrated that TLR3 interacting with dsRNA or self-RNA triggered apoptosis and necroptosis in ECs. Interestingly, TLR3-induced necroptosis led mitochondrial damage. Inhibition of the mitochondrial membrane permeability molecule Cyclophilin D prevented necroptosis in ECs. In vivo, endothelium damage and activities of caspase-3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein were inhibited in TLR3-/- cardiac grafts compared with C57BL/6 grafts posttransplant (n = 5, p < .001). Importantly, TLR3-/- cardiac grafts had prolonged survival in allogeneic BALB/c mice (mean survival = 121 ± 67 vs. 31 ± 6 days of C57BL/6 grafts, n = 7, p = .002). In summary, our study suggests that TLR3 is an important cell death inducer in ECs and cardiac grafts and thus a potential therapeutic target in preventing cardiac transplant rejection.

Abstract
Programmed necrosis, such as necroptosis and pyroptosis, is a highly pro-inflammatory cellular event that is associated with chronic inflammation. Although there are various triggers of pyroptosis and necroptosis in autoimmune tissue inflammation and subsequent lytic forms of cell death release abundant inflammatory mediators, including damage-associated molecular patterns and IL-1β, capable of amplifying autoimmune Th17 effector functions, it remains largely unclear whether the programs play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune arthritis. We herein report that Gasdermin D (Gsdmd) and receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 3 (Ripk3)-key molecules of pyroptosis and necroptosis, respectively-are upregulated in inflamed synovial tissues, but dispensable for IL-1β production and the development of IL-17-producing T helper (Th17) cell-mediated autoimmune arthritis in SKG mice. Gsdmd-/-, Ripk3-/-, or Gsdmd-/- Ripk3-/- SKG mice showed severe arthritis with expansion of arthritogenic Th17 cells in the draining LNs and inflamed joints, which was comparable to that in wild-type SKG mice. Despite the marked reduction of IL-1β secretion from Gsdmd-/- or Ripk3-/- bone marrow-derived DCs by canonical stimuli, IL-1β levels in the inflamed synovium were not affected in the absence of Gsdmd or Ripk3. Our results revealed that T cell-mediated autoimmune arthritis proceeds independently of the pyroptosis and necroptosis pathways.

Tubular Cell Dropout in Preimplantation Deceased Donor Biopsies as a Predictor of Delayed Graft Function. Transplant Direct 2021; 7:e716.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background. Delayed graft function (DGF) affects over 25% of deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKTs) and is associated with increased cost, worsened graft outcomes, and mortality. While approaches to preventing DGF have focused on minimizing cold ischemia, donor factors such as acute tubular injury can influence risk. There are currently no pharmacologic therapies to modify DGF risk or promote repair, in part due to our incomplete understanding of the biology of preimplantation tubular injury. Methods. We collected intraoperative, preimplantation kidney biopsies from 11 high-risk deceased donors and 10 living donors and followed transplant recipients for graft function. We performed quantitative high-dimensional histopathologic analysis using imaging mass cytometry to determine the cellular signatures that distinguished deceased and living donor biopsies as well as deceased donor biopsies which either did or did not progress to DGF. Results. We noted decreased tubular cells (P < 0.0001) and increased macrophage infiltration (P = 0.0037) in high-risk DDKT compared with living donor biopsies. For those high-risk DDKTs that developed postimplant DGF (n = 6), quantitative imaging mass cytometry analysis showed a trend toward reduced tubular cells (P = 0.02) and increased stromal cells (P = 0.04) versus those that did not (n = 5). Notably, these differences were not identified by conventional histopathologic evaluation. Conclusions. The current study identifies donor tubular cell loss as a precursor of DGF pathogenesis and highlights an area for further investigation and potential therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the underlying causes of acute kidney injury and also an unavoidable problem in renal transplantation. Lots of miRNAs and targets have been found to participate in some post-transcriptional processes in renal IRI, however, the detailed knowledge of miRNA targets and mechanism is unknown. In this study, miR-124 was found inhibited and PARP1 was overexpressed in renal IRI cells and mouse models. Dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-124 post-transcriptionally regulated PAPR1 3′UTR activity. Our results also demonstrated miR-124 negatively regulated PARP1 which played a role in necroptosis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating TNFα. TNFα induced the RIP1/RIP3 necroptosis signaling pathway to aggravate the renal injury. Collectively, these studies identified PARP1 as a direct target of miR-124 and activated RIP1/RIP3 necroptosis signaling pathway through TNFα. It elucidated the protective effect of miR-124 in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which demonstrated the regulatory mechanism of miR-124/PARP1 in renal injury and exhibited the potential as a novel therapeutic for the treatment of renal IRI.

Abstract
In the last decade, the role of apoptosis in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression has been revisited as our understanding of ferroptosis and necroptosis has emerged. A growing body of evidence, reviewed here, ascribes a central pathophysiological role for ferroptosis and necroptosis to AKI, nephron loss, and acute tubular necrosis. We will introduce concepts to the non-cell-autonomous manner of kidney tubular injury during ferroptosis, a phenomenon that we refer to as a "wave of death." We hypothesize that necroptosis might initiate cell death propagation through ferroptosis. The remaining necrotic debris requires effective removal processes to prevent a secondary inflammatory response, referred to as necroinflammation. Open questions include the differences in the immunogenicity of ferroptosis and necroptosis, and the specificity of necrostatins and ferrostatins to therapeutically target these processes to prevent AKI-to-CKD progression and end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
Cell death is a fundamental physiological process in all living organisms. Its roles extend from embryonic development, organ maintenance, and aging to the coordination of immune responses and autoimmunity. In recent years, our understanding of the mechanisms orchestrating cellular death and its consequences on immunity and homeostasis has increased substantially. Different modalities of what has become known as 'programmed cell death' have been described, and some key players in these processes have been identified. We have learned more about the intricacies that fine tune the activity of common players and ultimately shape the different types of cell death. These studies have highlighted the complex mechanisms tipping the balance between different cell fates. Here, we summarize the latest discoveries in the three most well understood modalities of cell death, namely, apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, highlighting common and unique pathways and their effect on the surrounding cells and the organism as a whole.

Abstract
Reperfusion injury following cold and warm ischemia (IRI) is unavoidable during kidney transplantation and contributes to delayed graft function (DGF) and premature graft loss. Death of tubular epithelial cells (TECs) by necrosis during IRI releases pro-inflammatory mediators (e.g. HMGB1), propagating further inflammation (necroinflammation) and tissue damage. Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) is a phagocytic receptor upregulated on proximal TECs during acute kidney injury. We have previously shown that renal KIM-1 protects the graft against transplant associated IRI by enabling TECs to clear apoptotic and necrotic cells, and that recognition of necrotic cells by KIM-1 is augmented in the presence of the opsonin, apoptosis inhibitor of macrophages (AIM). Here, we tested whether recombinant AIM (rAIM) could be used to mitigate transplant associated IRI. We administered rAIM or vehicle control to nephrectomised B6 mice transplanted with a single B6 donor kidney. Compared to grafts in vehicle-treated recipients, grafts from rAIM-treated mice exhibited significantly less renal dysfunction, tubular cell death, tissue damage, tubular obstruction, as well as local and systemic inflammation. Both mouse and human rAIM enhanced the clearance of necrotic cells by murine and human TECs, respectively in vitro. These data support testing of rAIM as a potential therapeutic agent to reduce DGF following kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are considered the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Of these, myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common cause of CVD mortality. MI is a life-threatening condition which occurs when coronary perfusion is interrupted leading to cardiomyocyte death. Subsequent to MI, consequences include adverse cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction mainly contribute to the development of heart failure (HF). It has been shown that loss of functional cardiomyocytes in MI-induced HF are associated with several cell death pathways, in particular necroptosis. Although the entire mechanism underlying necroptosis in MI progression is still not widely recognized, some recent studies have reported beneficial effects of necroptosis inhibitors on cell viability and cardiac function in chronic MI models. Therefore, extensive investigation into the necroptosis signaling pathway is indicated for further study. This article comprehensively reviews the context of the underlying mechanisms of necroptosis in chronic MI-induced HF in in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies. These findings could inform ways of developing novel therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes in MI patients from this point forward.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a form of cell death characterized by receptor-interacting protein kinase activity and plasma membrane permeabilization via mixed-lineage kinase-like protein (MLKL). This permeabilization is responsible for the inflammatory properties of necroptosis. We previously showed that very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are functionally involved in necroptosis, potentially through protein fatty acylation. Here, we define the scope of protein acylation by saturated VLCFAs during necroptosis. We show that MLKL and phosphoMLKL, key for membrane permeabilization, are exclusively acylated during necroptosis. Reducing the levels of VLCFAs decreases their membrane recruitment, suggesting that acylation by VLCFAs contributes to their membrane localization. Acylation of phosphoMLKL occurs downstream of phosphorylation and oligomerization and appears to be, in part, mediated by ZDHHC5 (a palmitoyl transferase). We also show that disruption of endosomal trafficking increases cell viability during necroptosis, possibly by preventing recruitment, or removal, of phosphoMLKL from the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The damage of the endothelial glycocalyx as a consequence of ischemia and/or reperfusion injury (IRI) following kidney transplantation has come at the spotlight of research due to potential associations with delayed graft function, acute rejection as well as long-term allograft dysfunction. The disintegration of the endothelial glycocalyx induced by IRI is the crucial event which exposes the denuded endothelial cells to further inflammatory and oxidative damage. The aim of our review is to present the currently available data regarding complex links between shedding of the glycocalyx components, like syndecan-1, hyaluronan, heparan sulphate, and CD44 with the activation of intricate immune system responses, including toll-like receptors, cytokines and pro-inflammatory transcription factors. Evidence on modes of protection of the endothelial glycocalyx and subsequently maintenance of endothelial permeability as well as novel nephroprotective molecules such as sphingosine-1 phosphate (S1P), are also depicted. Although advances in technology are making the visualization and the analysis of the endothelial glycocalyx possible, currently available evidence is mostly experimental. Ongoing progress in understanding the complex impact of IRI on the endothelial glycocalyx, opens up a new era of research in the field of organ transplantation and clinical studies are of utmost importance for the future.

Protective effect of necrosulfonamide on rat pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury via inhibition of necroptosis. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2021; 163:e113-e122.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Necroptosis plays an important role in cell death during pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). We hypothesized that therapy with necrosulfonamide (NSA), a mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein inhibitor, would attenuate lung IRI. METHODS Rats were assigned at random into the sham operation group (n = 6), vehicle group (n = 8), or NSA group (n = 8). In the NSA and vehicle groups, the animals were heparinized and underwent left thoracotomy, and the left hilum was clamped for 90 minutes, followed by reperfusion for 120 minutes. NSA (0.5 mg/body) and a solvent were administered i.p. in the NSA group and the vehicle group, respectively. The sham group underwent 210 minutes of perfusion without ischemia. After reperfusion, arterial blood gas analysis, physiologic data, lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, histologic changes, and cytokine levels were assessed. Fluorescence double immunostaining was performed to evaluate necroptosis and apoptosis. RESULTS Arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) was better, dynamic compliance was higher, and mean airway pressure and lung edema were lower in the NSA group compared with the vehicle group. Moreover, in the NSA group, lung injury was significantly alleviated, and the mean number of necroptotic cells (55.3 ± 4.06 vs 78.2 ± 6.87; P = .024), but not of apoptotic cells (P = .084), was significantly reduced compared with the vehicle group. Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 levels were significantly lower with NSA administration. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model, our results suggest that NSA may have a potential protective role in lung IRI through the inhibition of necroptosis.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a caspases-independent programmed cell death displaying intermediate features between necrosis and apoptosis. Albeit some physiological roles during embryonic development such tissue homeostasis and innate immune response are documented, necroptosis is mainly considered a pro-inflammatory cell death. Key actors of necroptosis are the receptor-interacting-protein-kinases, RIPK1 and RIPK3, and their target, the mixed-lineage-kinase-domain-like protein, MLKL. The intestinal epithelium has one of the highest rates of cellular turnover in a process that is tightly regulated. Altered necroptosis at the intestinal epithelium leads to uncontrolled microbial translocation and deleterious inflammation. Indeed, necroptosis plays a role in many disease conditions and inhibiting necroptosis is currently considered a promising therapeutic strategy. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms of necroptosis as well as its involvement in human diseases. We also discuss the present developing therapies that target necroptosis machinery.

Abstract
The life-saving benefits of organ transplantation can be thwarted by allograft dysfunction due to both infectious and sterile inflammation post-surgery. Sterile inflammation can occur after necrotic cell death due to the release of endogenous ligands [such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and alarmins], which perpetuate inflammation and ongoing cellular injury via various signaling cascades. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a significant contributor to sterile inflammation after organ transplantation and is associated with detrimental short- and long-term outcomes. While the vicious cycle of sterile inflammation and cellular injury is remarkably consistent amongst different organs and even species, we have begun understanding its mechanistic basis only over the last few decades. This understanding has resulted in the developments of novel, yet non-specific therapies for mitigating IRI-induced graft damage, albeit with moderate results. Thus, further understanding of the mechanisms underlying sterile inflammation after transplantation is critical for identifying personalized therapies to prevent or interrupt this vicious cycle and mitigating allograft dysfunction. In this review, we identify common and distinct pathways of post-transplant sterile inflammation across both heart and lung transplantation that can potentially be targeted.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a key mediator of cell death and inflammation. The unique hydrophobic pocket in the allosteric regulatory domain of RIPK1 has enabled the development of highly selective small-molecule inhibitors of its kinase activity, which have demonstrated safety in preclinical models and clinical trials. Potential applications of these RIPK1 inhibitors for the treatment of monogenic and polygenic autoimmune, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, ischaemic and acute conditions, such as sepsis, are emerging. This article reviews RIPK1 biology and disease-associated mutations in RIPK1 signalling pathways, highlighting clinical trials of RIPK1 inhibitors and potential strategies to mitigate development challenges. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) — a key mediator of cell death and inflammation — is activated in human diseases. Here, Yuan and colleagues discuss current understanding of RIPK1 biology and its association with diseases including inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and sepsis. The clinical development of small-molecule RIPK1 inhibitors and associated challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Inflammation is a fundamental biological process mediating host defense and wound healing during infections and tissue injury. Perpetuated and excessive inflammation may cause autoinflammation, autoimmunity, degenerative disorders, allergies, and malignancies. Multimodal signaling by tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) plays a crucial role in determining the transition between inflammation, cell survival, and programmed cell death. Targeting TNF signaling has been proven as an effective therapeutic in several immune-related disorders. Mouse studies have provided critical mechanistic insights into TNFR1 signaling and its potential role in a broad spectrum of diseases. The characterization of patients with monogenic primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) has highlighted the importance of TNFR1 signaling in human disease. In particular, patients with PIDs have revealed paradoxical connections between immunodeficiency, chronic inflammation, and dysregulated cell death. Importantly, studies on PIDs may help to predict beneficial effects and side-effects of therapeutic targeting of TNFR1 signaling.

Abstract
The host innate immune response stands at the first line of defense against the outburst of pathogen invasion and their byproduct release. The balanced and coordinated expression of genes in normal immune responses is compromised in the progress of endotoxemia with exacerbated inflammation and massive cell death. In the present study, we identified cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9), the functional subunit of the positive transcription elongation factor b, as a master regulator of inflammatory gene transcription in the process of promoter-proximal pausing to productive elongation. Therapeutic pharmacological inhibition of CDK9 by flavopiridol (FVD) rescued mice from death in experimental models of fatal endotoxemia. In addition to alleviation of the cytokine storm in the circulation system following lethal endotoxin injection, FVD treatment significantly dampened the onset of inflammation in the livers and lungs and reduced the necroptosis and pyroptosis in livers. Moreover, CDK9 inhibition reduced inflammatory cytokine release and decreased cell death in the pro-inflammatory pyroptotic and necroptotic cell death pathway in monocytes in responses to lipopolysaccharide. In conclusion, CDK9 inhibition may affect the progress of endotoxemia by dampening inflammation and cell death including necroptosis and pyroptosis.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is common to all forms of progressive kidney disease. However, current therapies to limit renal fibrosis are largely ineffective. Phosphorylation of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK) 3 has been recently suggested to be a key regulator of the pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which provides new insights into mechanisms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the specific effect of RIPK3 on renal cortical fibrosis has not been fully understood. To study the function of RIPK3, both genetic ablation and pharmacological inhibition of RIPK3 (dabrafenib) were used in the study. Our studies identify that RIPK3 promotes renal fibrosis via the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in a mouse model of folic acid-induced nephropathy. Both interventional strategies decreased the renal fibrotic response, and beneficial effects converged on the NLRP3 inflammasome. This study demonstrates a role for RIPK3 as the mediator of renal fibrosis via the upregulation of inflammasome activation. Dabrafenib, as an inhibitor of RIPK3, may be an effective treatment to limit the progression of the tubulointerstitial fibrosis.
