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. Keywords: programmed cell death; inflammation; cancer; intestinal diseases; inhibitors 1. Introduction Cell death is crucial during the development and maintenance of tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Until recently, apoptosis was considered the only molecularly controlled type of cell death, as opposed to necrosis, which was classically described as nonregulated accidental cell death. Several types of programmed necrotic cell death have been recently identified, which, although sharing common morphological features, such as cellular volume increase, organelles swelling, and plasma membrane disruption, however, respond to different triggers and follow distinct biochemical pathways [1]. Necroptosis is a programmed necrosis executed by the activation of death receptors including tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), Fas receptor (FasR), TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand–death receptor 1 (TRAILR1), interferon receptor (IFNR) and also pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and RIG-like receptors (RLRs) [2–4]. The receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and 3 (RIPK3), as well as their target, the mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), are required to initiate necroptosis [5–7]. Necroptosis is associated with various human diseases including ischemic reperfusion injury, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, infectious, autoimmune diseases and cancer [8–18]. Recently, necroptosis has been also involved in mediating organ rejection in cardiac and renal allografts [8,12,19–22]. Despite the pathological connotation that characterized necroptosis at the beginning of its identification, emerging evidence points to its crucial role in physiological phenomena such as development, immunology and differentiation. For example, mutant mice with kinase-dead RIPK1 Biomolecules 2020, 10, 1431; doi:10.3390/biom10101431 www.mdpi.com/journal/biomolecules Biomolecules 2020, 10, x 2 of 20 Biomolecules 2020, 10, 1431 2 of 20 Despite the pathological connotation that characterized necroptosis at the beginning of its identification, emerging evidence points to its crucial role in physiological phenomena such as or RIPK3development, and MLKL immunology deficiency and show differentiation. no detrimental For example, phenotype mutant with mice regard with kinase-dead to development RIPK1 and adultor homeostasis RIPK3 and MLKL [10]. deficiency Furthermore, show no several detrimental authors phenotype report thatwith regard necroptosis to development is able to and induce the innateadult homeostasis immune response [10].

This article is published with open access Abstract Among caspase family members, Caspase-8 is unique, with associated critical activities to induce and suppress death receptor-mediated apoptosis and necroptosis, respectively. Caspase-8 inhibits necroptosis by suppressing the function of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1 or RIP1) and RIPK3 to activate mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). Disruption of Caspase-8 expression causes embryonic lethality in mice, which is rescued by depletion of either Ripk3 or Mlkl, indicating that the embryonic lethality is caused by activation of necroptosis. Here, we show that knockdown of Caspase-8 expression in embryoid bodies derived from ES cells markedly enhances retinoic acid (RA)-induced cell differentiation and necroptosis, both of which are dependent on Ripk1 and Ripk3; however, the enhancement of RA-induced 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: cell differentiation is independent of Mlkl and necrosome formation.

  • Global Survey of Cell Death Mechanisms Reveals Metabolic Regulation of Ferroptosis
    Global Survey of Cell Death Mechanisms Reveals Metabolic Regulation of GPX4-Dependent Ferroptosis Kenichi Shimada Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2015 Kenichi Shimada All rights reserved ABSTRACT Global Survey of Cell Death Mechanisms Reveals Metabolic Regulation of Ferroptosis Kenichi Shimada Cells die not merely as a consequence of catastrophic failure of homeostasis but when programmed cell death is activated. The existence of non-apoptotic modes of regulated cell death is increasingly appreciated. However, the full extent and diversity of these alternative cell death mechanisms remains uncharted. In this thesis, we developed a systematic framework to discover and characterize lethal compounds that induce distinct cell death phenotypes. In the first part, we investigated the landscape of pharmacologically-accessible non-apoptotic cell death mechanisms. This effort resulted in the discovery of a novel ferroptosis inducer, FIN56. The rest of my work focused on characterizing the mechanism of action of FIN56. Technologies used here should be generally applicable for the systematic study of various cell death mechanisms. First, to globally survey pharmacologically-accessible cell death mechanisms, we used 3,169 uncharacterized lethal compounds as cell death probes. We found that 451 compounds (14%) were lethal without activating caspase activity. 56 most potent and structurally diverse compounds were more closely studied using the 'modulatory profiling' approach, which involves examining changes in potency of lethal compounds by co-treatment with chemical modulators. We discovered that caspase-independent lethals induced three types of regulated non-apoptotic cell death: metal ion-dependent cell death, necrostatin-1-dependent cell death, and ferroptosis, a regulated form of iron-dependent oxidative cell death.

  • Necroptosis in Anti-Viral Inflammation
    Cell Death & Differentiation https://doi.org/10.1038/s41418-018-0172-x REVIEW ARTICLE Necroptosis in anti-viral inflammation 1 1 Himani Nailwal ● Francis Ka-Ming Chan Received: 29 March 2018 / Revised: 8 June 2018 / Accepted: 10 July 2018 © The Author(s) 2018. This article is published with open access Abstract The primary function of the immune system is to protect the host from invading pathogens. In response, microbial pathogens have developed various strategies to evade detection and destruction by the immune system. This tug-of-war between the host and the pathogen is a powerful force that shapes organismal evolution. Regulated cell death (RCD) is a host response that limits the reservoir for intracellular pathogens such as viruses. Since pathogen-specific T cell and B cell responses typically take several days and is therefore slow-developing, RCD of infected cells during the first few days of the infection is critical for organismal survival. This innate immune response not only restricts viral replication, but also serves to promote anti-viral inflammation through cell death-associated release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In recent years, necroptosis has been recognized as an important response against many viruses. The central adaptor for necroptosis, RIPK3, also exerts anti-viral effects through cell death-independent activities such as promoting cytokine gene expression. 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: Here, we will discuss recent advances on how viruses counteract this host defense mechanism and the effect of necroptosis on the anti-viral inflammatory reaction.

During the past decade, the concept of caspase-8 functioning has been changed by findings of its additional roles in diverse biological processes. Although caspase-8 was not originally thought to be involved in the inflammation process, many recent works have determined that caspase-8 plays an important role in the regulatory functions of inflammatory processes. In this review, we describe the recent advances in knowledge regarding the manner in which caspase-8 modulates the inflammatory responses concerning inflammasome activation, cell death, and cytokine induction.
