Although TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand) is a well-known apoptosis inducer, we have previously demonstrated that acidic extracellular pH (pHe) switches TRAIL-induced apoptosis to regulated necrosis (or necroptosis) in human HT29 colon and HepG2 liver cancer cells. Here, we investigated the role of RIPK1 (receptor interacting protein kinase 1), RIPK3 and PARP-1 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1) in TRAIL-induced necroptosis in vitro and in concanavalin A (Con A)-induced murine hepatitis. Pretreatment of HT29 or HepG2 with pharmacological inhibitors of RIPK1 or PARP-1 (Nec-1 or PJ-34, respectively), or transient transfection with siRNAs against RIPK1 or RIPK3, inhibited both TRAIL-induced necroptosis and PARP-1-dependent intracellular ATP depletion demonstrating that RIPK1 and RIPK3 were involved upstream of PARP-1 activation and ATP depletion. In the mouse model of Con A-induced hepatitis, where death of mouse hepatocytes is dependent on TRAIL and NKT (Natural Killer T) cells, PARP-1 activity was positively correlated with liver injury and hepatitis was prevented both by Nec-1 or PJ-34. These data provide new insights into TRAIL-induced necroptosis with PARP-1 being active effector downstream of RIPK1/RIPK3 initiators and suggest that pharmacological inhibitors of RIPKs and PARP-1 could be new treatment options for immune-mediated hepatitis.  相似文献

Both receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3 can signal cell death following death receptor ligation. To study the requirements for RIPK-triggered cell death in the absence of death receptor signaling, we engineered inducible versions of RIPK1 and RIPK3 that can be activated by dimerization with the antibiotic coumermycin. In the absence of TNF or other death ligands, expression and dimerization of RIPK1 was sufficient to cause cell death by caspase- or RIPK3-dependent mechanisms. Dimerized RIPK3 induced cell death by an MLKL-dependent mechanism but, surprisingly, also induced death mediated by FADD, caspase 8 and RIPK1. Catalytically active RIPK3 kinase domains were essential for MLKL-dependent but not for caspase 8-dependent death. When RIPK1 or RIPK3 proteins were dimerized, the mode of cell death was determined by the availability of downstream molecules such as FADD, caspase 8 and MLKL. These observations imply that rather than a ‘switch'' operating between the two modes of cell death, the final mechanism depends on levels of the respective signaling and effector proteins.Mammalian cells can use a number of mechanisms to kill themselves. The best characterized depends on the Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bak that work via mitochondria to activate caspases.1 Some caspases, notably caspase 8, can be activated independently of Bcl-2 family members, for example, after stimulation of members of the TNF receptor superfamily.2 Recently, it has become apparent that some of these receptors, including TNFR1, can activate a third suicide mechanism that does not require caspases, and in which the morphology of the dying cell differs from classical apoptosis. This form of cell death, termed ‘necroptosis'', can often be blocked by necrostatin-1 (nec-1), an inhibitor of the kinase activity of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1).3, 4 Accordingly, observations from several groups have shown that in some cell types, expression of RIPK1 can signal cell death by caspase-independent necroptosis.5It has previously been revealed that RIPK1 could function downstream of death receptors, but in those cases, cell death was usually blocked by coexpression of the viral inhibitor of caspases 1 and 8, CrmA,6 and typically exhibited a classical ‘apoptotic'' morphology. It was revealed that RIPK1 engages FADD via homotypic binding of their death domains (DDs), and FADD in turn activates caspase 8.6, 7RIPK3, like RIPK1, bears a kinase domain and RIP homology interaction motif (RHIM), but unlike RIPK1 does not have a DD.8, 9, 10, 11 RIPK3 is required for necroptosis.12, 13 Furthermore, RIPK1 appears to activate RIPK3 in this pathway, as cell death could be blocked by nec-1.14 RIPK3 activates, by phosphorylation, MLKL, a pseudokinase essential for this death pathway.15, 16, 17 Once activated, MLKL forms multimers that trigger breaches of the plasma membrane.18, 19, 20Although RIPK3 is necessary for necroptosis, it is unclear whether activation of RIPK3 is sufficient for cell death, because TNF activates signaling by many pathways in addition to those controlled by RIPK1.21 It is also unclear whether RIPK3 can contribute to apoptosis. Despite some reports to this effect,8, 9, 22 RIPK3 has been described as the necroptotic ‘switch'', implying its activity precipitates necroptosis to the exclusion of apoptosis.23, 24, 25Here, we have directly activated RIP kinases without the confounding effects of multiple signals emanating from the target cell''s cytokine receptors, allowing us to define more precisely the functions of RIPK1 and RIPK3. We activated RIP kinases by dimerization using inducible lentiviral vectors, each encoding a chimera of a RIP kinase with subunit B of E. coli DNA gyrase.26 We infected mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) that lack genes for, or expression of, various cell death proteins, induced expression of the RIPK chimera, caused its dimerization by addition of the divalent antibiotic coumermycin (C) and quantitated the resulting cell death.Our results reveal that each of RIPK1 and RIPK3 can contribute to both apoptosis and necroptosis depending on the biochemical context. Furthermore, necroptosis can occur in the absence of caspase 8 and FADD, which shows that the ripoptosome, with core components caspase 8, FADD and RIPK1,27, 28 is not required for necroptosis. Instead, we propose that dimers of RIPK1 and/or RIPK3 are the pivotal complexes from which both forms of cell death can progress.  相似文献

Apoptosis is a key mechanism for metazoans to eliminate unwanted cells. Resistance to apoptosis is a hallmark of many cancer cells and a major roadblock to traditional chemotherapy. Recent evidence indicates that inhibition of caspase-dependent apoptosis sensitizes many cancer cells to a form of non-apoptotic cell death termed necroptosis. This has led to widespread interest in exploring necroptosis as an alternative strategy for anti-cancer therapy. Here we show that in human colon cancer tissues, the expression of the essential necroptosis adaptors receptor interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1 and RIPK3 is significantly decreased compared with adjacent normal colon tissues. The expression of RIPK1 and RIPK3 was suppressed by hypoxia, but not by epigenetic DNA modification. To explore the role of necroptosis in chemotherapy-induced cell death, we used inhibitors of RIPK1 or RIPK3 kinase activity, and modulated their expression in colon cancer cell lines using short hairpin RNAs. We found that RIPK1 and RIPK3 were largely dispensable for classical chemotherapy-induced cell death. Caspase inhibitor and/or second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase mimetic, which sensitize cells to RIPK1- and RIPK3-dependent necroptosis downstream of tumor necrosis factor receptor-like death receptors, also did not alter the response of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. In contrast to the RIPKs, we found that cathepsins are partially responsible for doxorubicin or etoposide-induced cell death. Taken together, these results indicate that traditional chemotherapeutic agents are not efficient inducers of necroptosis and that more potent pathway-specific drugs are required to fully harness the power of necroptosis in anti-cancer therapy.Cell death by apoptosis is a natural barrier to cancer development, as it limits uncontrolled proliferation driven by oncogenes.1 Chemotherapeutic agents that target apoptosis have been successful in anti-cancer therapy. However, cancer cells, especially cancer stem cells, often evolve multiple mechanisms to circumvent growth suppression by apoptosis.2 This resistance to apoptosis is a major challenge for many chemotherapeutic agents. Targeting other non-apoptotic cell death pathways is an attractive therapeutic alternative.A growing number of recent studies show that there are distinct genetic programmed cell death modes other than apoptosis.3 Necroptosis is mediated by receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3).4 In the presence of caspase inhibition and cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (cIAPs) depletion, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 1 triggers a signaling reaction that culminates in binding of RIPK3 with its upstream activator RIPK1 through the RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM).4 RIPK1 and RIPK3 phosphorylation stabilizes this complex and promotes its conversion to an amyloid-like filamentous structure termed the necrosome.5 Once activated, RIPK3 recruits its substrate mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL).6 Phosphorylated MLKL forms oligomers that translocate to intracellular membranes and the plasma membrane, which eventually leads to membrane rupture.7, 8, 9, 10In addition to phosphorylation, RIPK1 and RIPK3 are also tightly regulated by ubiquitination, a process mediated by the E3 ligases cIAP1, cIAP2, and the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex.11 The ubiquitin chains on RIPK1 act as a scaffold to activate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways and inhibit formation of the necrosome. As such, depletion of cIAP1/2 by second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase (Smac) mimetics or removal of the ubiquitin chains by the de-ubiquitinating enzyme cylindromatosis (CYLD) promotes necroptosis.12, 13, 14, 15 In addition, RIPK1 and RIPK3 are cleaved and inactivated by caspase 8.16, 17, 18 Mice deficient for caspase 8 or FADD, an essential adaptor protein of caspase 8, suffer from embryonic lethality due to extensive RIPK1- or RIPK3-dependent necroptosis.19, 20, 21 Hence, caspase inhibition and IAP depletion are key priming signals for necroptosis.The physiological functions of RIPK1 and RIPK3 have been extensively investigated in infectious and sterile inflammatory diseases.4, 22 By contrast, their roles in cancer cells'' response to chemotherapeutics are poorly understood. Here we show that RIPK1 and RIPK3 expression is significantly decreased in human colon cancer tissues, suggesting that suppression of RIPK1 or RIPK3 expression is advantageous for cancer growth. However, the loss of RIPK1 and RIPK3 expression in colon cancer was not due to epigenetic DNA modification. Interestingly, RIPK1 and RIPK3 expression in colon cancer cells is reduced by hypoxia, a hallmark of solid tumor. We found that chemotherapeutic agents did not effectively elicit RIPK1/RIPK3-dependent necroptosis in colon cancer cells. Moreover, caspase inhibition and Smac mimetics, which are potent sensitizers for necroptosis, also did not enhance chemotherapeutic agent-induced cell death. These results show that traditional chemotherapeutic agents are not strong inducers of classical necroptosis in colon cancers and suggest that development of pathway-specific drugs is needed to harness the power of necroptosis in anti-cancer therapy.  相似文献

Necroptosis is a lytic, inflammatory cell death pathway that is dysregulated in many human pathologies. The pathway is executed by a core machinery comprising the RIPK1 and RIPK3 kinases, which assemble into necrosomes in the cytoplasm, and the terminal effector pseudokinase, MLKL. RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL induces oligomerization and translocation to the plasma membrane where MLKL accumulates as hotspots and perturbs the lipid bilayer to cause death. The precise choreography of events in the pathway, where they occur within cells, and pathway differences between species, are of immense interest. However, they have been poorly characterized due to a dearth of validated antibodies for microscopy studies. Here, we describe a toolbox of antibodies for immunofluorescent detection of the core necroptosis effectors, RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL, and their phosphorylated forms, in human and mouse cells. By comparing reactivity with endogenous proteins in wild-type cells and knockout controls in basal and necroptosis-inducing conditions, we characterise the specificity of frequently-used commercial and recently-developed antibodies for detection of necroptosis signaling events. Importantly, our findings demonstrate that not all frequently-used antibodies are suitable for monitoring necroptosis by immunofluorescence microscopy, and methanol- is preferable to paraformaldehyde-fixation for robust detection of specific RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL signals.Subject terms: Cell biology, Kinases  相似文献

Deregulation of innate immune signalling and cell death form the basis of most human disease pathogenesis. Inhibitor of APoptosis (IAP) protein-family members are frequently overexpressed in cancer and contribute to tumour cell survival, chemo-resistance, disease progression and poor prognosis. Although best known for their ability to regulate caspases, IAPs also influence ubiquitin-dependent pathways that modulate innate immune signalling by activation of NF-κB. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which IAPs influence cell death and innate immune responses have provided new insights into novel strategies for treatment of cancer. In this review we discuss our current understanding of IAP-mediated NF-κB signalling, as well as elaborate on unexpected insights into the involvement of IAPs in regulating the 'Ripoptosome', a novel intrinsic cell death-inducing platform. We propose an evolutionarily conserved concept whereby IAPs function as guardians of killer platforms such as the apoptosome in Drosophila and the Ripoptosome in mammals.  相似文献

In human cells, the RIPK1–RIPK3–MLKL–PGAM5–Drp1 axis drives tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced necroptosis through mitochondrial fission, but whether this pathway is conserved among mammals is not known. To answer this question, we analyzed the presence and functionality of the reported necroptotic axis in mice. As in humans, knockdown of receptor-interacting kinase-3 (RIPK3) or mixed lineage kinase domain like (MLKL) blocks TNF-induced necroptosis in L929 fibrosarcoma cells. However, repression of either of these proteins did not protect the cells from death, but instead induced a switch from TNF-induced necroptosis to receptor-interacting kinase-1 (RIPK1) kinase-dependent apoptosis. In addition, although mitochondrial fission also occurs during TNF-induced necroptosis in L929 cells, we found that knockdown of phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) and dynamin 1 like protein (Drp1) did not markedly protect the cells from TNF-induced necroptosis. Depletion of Pink1, a reported interactor of both PGAM5 and Drp1, did not affect TNF-induced necroptosis. These results indicate that in these murine cells mitochondrial fission and Pink1 dependent processes, including Pink-Parkin dependent mitophagy, apparently do not promote necroptosis. Our data demonstrate that the core components of the necrosome (RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL) are crucial to induce TNF-dependent necroptosis both in human and in mouse cells, but the associated mechanisms may differ between the two species or cell types.  相似文献

Past studies have shown that histone deacetylase (HDAC) and mutant BRAF (v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1) inhibitors synergistically kill melanoma cells with activating mutations in BRAF. However, the mechanism(s) involved remains less understood. Here, we report that combinations of HDAC and BRAF inhibitors kill BRAFV600E melanoma cells by induction of necrosis. Cotreatment with the HDAC inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) or panobinostat (LBH589) and the BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 activated the caspase cascade, but caspases appeared dispensable for killing, in that inhibition of caspases did not invariably block induction of cell death. The majority of dying cells acquired propidium iodide positivity instantly when they became positive for Annexin V, suggesting induction of necrosis. This was supported by caspase-independent release of high-mobility group protein B1, and further consolidated by rupture of the plasma membrane and loss of nuclear and cytoplasmic contents, as manifested by transmission electron microscopic analysis. Of note, neither the necrosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 nor the small interference RNA (siRNA) knockdown of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) inhibited cell death, suggesting that RIPK1 and RIPK3 do not contribute to induction of necrosis by combinations of HDAC and BRAF inhibitors in BRAFV600E melanoma cells. Significantly, SAHA and the clinically available BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib cooperatively inhibited BRAFV600E melanoma xenograft growth in a mouse model even when caspase-3 was inhibited. Taken together, these results indicate that cotreatment with HDAC and BRAF inhibitors can bypass canonical cell death pathways to kill melanoma cells, which may be of therapeutic advantage in the treatment of melanoma.  相似文献

Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is an important component of the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) signaling pathway. Depending on the cell type and conditions, RIPK1 mediates MAPK and NF-κB activation as well as cell death. Using a mutant form of RIPK1 (RIPK1ΔID) lacking the intermediate domain (ID), we confirm the requirement of this domain for activation of these signaling events. Moreover, expression of RIPK1ΔID resulted in enhanced recruitment of caspase-8 to the TNFR1 complex II component Fas-associated death domain (FADD), which allowed a shift from TNF-induced necroptosis to apoptosis in L929 cells. Addition of the RIPK1 kinase inhibitor necrostatin-1 strongly reduced recruitment of RIPK1 and caspase-8 to FADD and subsequent apoptosis, indicating a role for RIPK1 kinase activity in apoptotic complex formation. Our study shows that RIPK1 has an anti-apoptotic function residing in its ID and demonstrates a cellular system as an elegant genetic model for RIPK1 kinase-dependent apoptosis that, in contrast to the Smac mimetic model, does not rely on depletion of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 and 2 (cIAP1/2).  相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis is the primary etiologic agent of periodontal disease that is associated with other human chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis. The ability of P. gingivalis to invade and persist within human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) has been postulated to contribute to a low to moderate chronic state of inflammation, although how this is specifically achieved has not been well defined. In this study, we demonstrate that P. gingivalis infection of HAEC resulted in the rapid cleavage of receptor interacting protein 1 (RIPK1), a mediator of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-1 (TNF-R1)-induced cell activation or death, and RIPK2, a key mediator of both innate immune signaling and adaptive immunity. The cleavage of RIPK1 or RIPK2 was not observed in cells treated with apoptotic stimuli, or cells stimulated with agonists to TNF-R1, nucleotide oligomerization domain receptor 1(NOD1), NOD2, Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) or TLR4. P. gingivalis-induced cleavage of RIPK1 and RIPK2 was inhibited in the presence of a lysine-specific gingipain (Kgp) inhibitor. RIPK1 and RIPK2 cleavage was not observed in HAEC treated with an isogenic mutant deficient in the lysine-specific gingipain, confirming a role for Kgp in the cleavage of RIPK1 and RIPK2. Similar proteolysis of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) was observed. We also demonstrated direct proteolysis of RIPK2 by P. gingivalis in a cell-free system which was abrogated in the presence of a Kgp-specific protease inhibitor. Our studies thus reveal an important role for pathogen-mediated modification of cellular kinases as a potential strategy for bacterial persistence within target host cells, which is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation, a hallmark of pathogen-mediated chronic inflammatory disorders.  相似文献

The receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a key mediator of regulated cell death and inflammation. Recent studies suggest that RIPK1 inhibition would fundamentally improve the therapy of RIPK1-dependent organ damage in stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney failure, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Additionally, it could ameliorate or prevent multi-organ failure induced by cytokine release in the context of hyperinflammation, as seen in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, we searched for a RIPK1 inhibitor and present the aromatic antiepileptic and FDA-approved drug primidone (Liskantin®) as a potent inhibitor of RIPK1 activation in vitro and in a murine model of TNFα-induced shock, which mimics the hyperinflammatory state of cytokine release syndrome. Furthermore, we detected for the first time RIPK1 activation in the respiratory tract epithelium of hospitalized patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our data provide a strong rationale for evaluating the drug primidone in conditions of hyperinflammation in humans.Subject terms: Cell death and immune response, Translational research  相似文献
