  • Spink2 Modulates Apoptotic Susceptibility and Is a Candidate Gene in the Rgcs1 QTL That Affects Retinal Ganglion Cell Death After Optic Nerve Damage
    Spink2 Modulates Apoptotic Susceptibility and Is a Candidate Gene in the Rgcs1 QTL That Affects Retinal Ganglion Cell Death after Optic Nerve Damage Joel A. Dietz1., Margaret E. Maes1., Shuang Huang2, Brian S. Yandell2, Cassandra L. Schlamp1, Angela D. Montgomery1, R. Rand Allingham3, Michael A. Hauser3, Robert W. Nickells1* 1 Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, United States of America, 2 Department of Biostatistics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, United States of America, 3 Center for Human Genetics, Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, United States of America Abstract The Rgcs1 quantitative trait locus, on mouse chromosome 5, influences susceptibility of retinal ganglion cells to acute damage of the optic nerve. Normally resistant mice (DBA/2J) congenic for the susceptible allele from BALB/cByJ mice exhibit susceptibility to ganglion cells, not only in acute optic nerve crush, but also to chronic inherited glaucoma that is characteristic of the DBA/2J strain as they age. SNP mapping of this QTL has narrowed the region of interest to 1 Mb. In this region, a single gene (Spink2) is the most likely candidate for this effect. Spink2 is expressed in retinal ganglion cells and is increased after optic nerve damage. This gene is also polymorphic between resistant and susceptible strains, containing a single conserved amino acid change (threonine to serine) and a 220 bp deletion in intron 1 that may quantitatively alter endogenous expression levels between strains. Overexpression of the different variants of Spink2 in D407 tissue culture cells also increases their susceptibility to the apoptosis-inducing agent staurosporine in a manner consistent with the differential susceptibility between the DBA/2J and BALB/cByJ strains.

  • Interacting Protein Kinase 1 (RIPK1) As a Therapeutic Target
    REVIEWS Receptor- interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) as a therapeutic target Lauren Mifflin 1, Dimitry Ofengeim2 and Junying Yuan 1 ✉ 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.

Abstract: Optineurin (OPTN), a cytoplasmic adaptor protein involved in cargo selective autophagy of bacteria, damaged mitochondria and mutant protein aggregates, is frequently seen in pathological structures containing protein aggregates, associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. However, the function of OPTN in these protein aggregates is not known. Here, we have explored the role of OPTN in mutant protein aggregation and in cytoprotection from toxicity of mutant proteins. Mutant huntingtin (mHtt) and mutant ataxin-3 (mAtax-3) showed reduced formation of aggregates in Optn-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts as compared with wild type cells. Co-expression of OPTN enhanced aggregate formation by mHtt and mAtax-3 in Optn-/- cells.
