BECN1 regulates FADD/RIPK1/Caspase-8 complex formation via RIPK1 ubiquitination by downregulating OTUD1 in MI/R induced myocyte apoptosis. Int J Cardiol 2024; 408:132158. [PMID: 38744338 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiomyocyte apoptosis plays a vital role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury; however, the role of beclin1 (BECN1) remains unclear. This study aimed at revealing the function of BECN1 during cardiomyocyte apoptosis after MI/R injury. METHODS In vivo, TTC and Evan's blue double staining was applied to verify the gross morphological alteration in both wild type (WT) mice and BECN1 transgene mice (BECN1-TG), and TUNEL staining and western blot were adopted to evaluate the cardiomyocyte apoptosis. In vitro, a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was established in H9c2 cells to simulate MI/R injury. Proteomics analysis was preformed to verify if apoptosis occurs in the H/R cellular model. And apoptosis factors, RIPK1, Caspase-1, Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-3, were investigated using western bolting. In addition, the mRNA level were verified using RT-PCR. To further investigate the protein interactions small interfering RNA and lentiviral transfection were used. To continue investigate the protein interactions, immunofluorescence and coimmunoprecipitation were applied. RESULTS Morphologically, BECN1 significantly attenuated the apoptosis from TTC-Evan's staining, TUNEL, and cardiac tissue western blot. After H/R, a RIPK1-induced complex (complex II) containing RIPK1, Caspase-8, and FADD was formed. Thereafter, cleaved Caspase-3 was activated, and myocyte apoptosis occurred. However, BECN1 decreased the expression of RIPK1, Caspase-8, and FADD. Nevertheless, BECN1 overexpression increased RIPK1 ubiquitination before apoptosis by inhibiting OTUD1. CONCLUSIONS BECN1 regulates FADD/RIPK1/Caspase-8 complex formation via RIPK1 ubiquitination by downregulating OTUD1 in C-Caspase-3-induced myocyte apoptosis after MI/R injury. Therefore, BECN1 can function as a cardioprotective candidate.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a multifactorial genetic disorder manifested by hyperproliferation and abnormal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes, along with the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the skin. Although ~80 genetic susceptibility variants were reported in psoriasis, many loci showed population-specific associations, warranting the need for more population-specific association studies in psoriasis. We determined the association of forty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among 2136 psoriasis patients and normal individuals from eastern India. We investigated the expression of corresponding genes and evaluated the protein structure stability for the genes with susceptible coding variants. We found fifteen SNPs significantly associated with psoriasis, while additional three SNPs showed significant association when we classified the patients based on the presence of HLA-Cw6 allele. Epistatic interaction between HLA-Cw6 and other associated loci showed significant association with the SNPs at PSORS1 region, along with other five SNPs outside PSORS1. Three genes showed significant differential expression in psoriatic tissues compared to the adjacent normal skin tissues but were not differential when classified the patients based on their genotypes. SNP rs495337 at SPATA2 (Spermatogenesis Associated 2) showed a 1.2-fold increased risk among the HLA-Cw6 patients compared to combined samples. We found significant downregulation of SPATA2 among the patients with risk genotypes and HLA-Cw6 allele compared to the non-risk genotypes. Protein structure stability analysis showed reduced structural stability for all the mutant residues caused by the associated coding variants. Our study evaluated the genetic associations of psoriasis-susceptible variants in India and evaluated the possible functional significance of these associated variants in psoriasis.

Exp Neurol 2024; 374:114705.

Abstract
RIPK1, a receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase, plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis by integrating inflammatory responses and cell death signaling pathways including apoptosis and necroptosis, which have been implicated in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Suppression of RIPK1 activation is a promising strategy for restraining the pathological progression of many human diseases. Neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis are two pivotal factors in the pathogenesis of brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this study, we established in vivo and in vitro models of SAH to investigate the activation of RIPK1 kinase in both microglia and neurons. We observed the correlation between RIPK1 kinase activity and microglia-mediated inflammation as well as neuronal apoptosis. We then investigated whether inhibition of RIPK1 could alleviate neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis following SAH, thereby reducing brain edema and ameliorating neurobehavioral deficits. Additionally, the underlying mechanisms were also explored. Our research findings revealed the activation of RIPK1 kinase in both microglia and neurons following SAH, as marked by the phosphorylation of RIPK1 at serine 166. The upregulation of p-RIPK1(S166) resulted in a significant augmentation of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1α, CCL2, and CCL5, as well as neuronal apoptosis. The activation of RIPK1 in microglia and neurons following SAH could be effectively suppressed by administration of Nec-1 s, a specific inhibitor of RIPK1. Consequently, inhibition of RIPK1 resulted in a downregulation of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and attenuation of neuronal apoptosis after SAH in vitro. Furthermore, the administration of Nec-1 s effectively mitigated neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, brain edema, and neurobehavioral deficits in mice following SAH. Our findings suggest that inhibiting RIPK1 kinase represents a promising therapeutic strategy for mitigating brain injury after SAH by attenuating RIPK1-driven neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis.

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
Cell death and inflammation are closely linked arms of the innate immune response to combat infection and tissue malfunction. Recent advancements in our understanding of the intricate signals originating from dying cells have revealed that cell death serves as more than just an end point. It facilitates the exchange of information between the dying cell and cells of the tissue microenvironment, particularly immune cells, alerting and recruiting them to the site of disturbance. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is emerging as a critical stress sentinel that functions as a molecular switch, governing cellular survival, inflammatory responses and immunogenic cell death signalling. Its tight regulation involves multiple layers of post-translational modifications. In this Review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms that regulate RIPK1 to maintain homeostasis and cellular survival in healthy cells, yet drive cell death in a context-dependent manner. We address how RIPK1 mutations or aberrant regulation is associated with inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and cancer. Moreover, we tease apart what is known about catalytic and non-catalytic roles of RIPK1 and discuss the successes and pitfalls of current strategies that aim to target RIPK1 in the clinic.

Abstract
Linear ubiquitination is a specific post-translational modification in which ubiquitin is linked through M1 residue to form multiple types of polyubiquitin chains on substrates in order to regulate cellular processes. LUBAC comprised by HOIP, HOIL-1L, and SHARPIN as a sole E3 ligase catalyzes the generation of linear ubiquitin chains, and it is simultaneously adjusted by deubiquitinases such as OTULIN and CYLD. Several studies have shown that gene mutation of linear ubiquitination in mice accompanied by different modalities of cell death would develop relative diseases. Cell death is a fundamental physiological process and responsible for embryonic development, organ maintenance, and immunity response. Therefore, it is worth speculating that linear ubiquitin mediated signaling pathway would participate in different diseases. The relative literature search was done from core collection of electronic databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar using keywords about main regulators of linear ubiquitination pathway. Here, we summarize the regulatory mechanism of linear ubiquitination on cellular signaling pathway in cells with apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. Intervening generation of linear ubiquitin chains in relative signaling pathway to regulate cell death might provide novel therapeutic insights for various human diseases.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by cutaneous eruptions and pruritus. Because the genetic backgrounds of psoriasis are only partially revealed, an integrative and rigorous study is necessary. We conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) with the new Genotype-Tissue Expression version 8 reference panels, including some tissue and multi-tissue panels that were not used previously. We performed tissue-specific heritability analyses on genome-wide association study data to prioritize the tissue panels for TWAS analysis. TWAS and colocalization (COLOC) analyses were performed with eight tissues from the single-tissue panels and the multi-tissue panels of context-specific genetics (CONTENT) to increase tissue specificity and statistical power. From TWAS, we identified the significant associations of 101 genes in the single-tissue panels and 64 genes in the multi-tissue panels, of which 26 genes were replicated in the COLOC. Functional annotation and network analyses identified that the genes were associated with psoriasis and/or immune responses. We also suggested drug candidates that interact with jointly significant genes through a conditional and joint analysis. Together, our findings may contribute to revealing the underlying genetic mechanisms and provide new insights into treatments for psoriasis.

Abstract
Necroptosis refers to a regulated form of cell death induced by a variety of stimuli. Although it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, there is evidence to support that necroptosis is not purely a detrimental process. We propose that necroptosis is a "double-edged sword" in terms of physiology and pathology. On the one hand, necroptosis can trigger an uncontrolled inflammatory cascade response, resulting in severe tissue injury, disease chronicity, and even tumor progression. On the other hand, necroptosis functions as a host defense mechanism, exerting antipathogenic and antitumor effects through its powerful pro-inflammatory properties. Moreover, necroptosis plays an important role during both development and regeneration. Misestimation of the multifaceted features of necroptosis may influence the development of therapeutic approaches targeting necroptosis. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the pathways involved in necroptosis as well as five important steps that determine its occurrence. The dual role of necroptosis in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions is also highlighted. Future studies and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting necroptosis should fully consider the complicated properties of this type of regulated cell death.

Abstract
Metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related death of cancer patients. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one critical process during the cascade of tumor metastasis. EMT is a developmental program exploited by cancer cells to transition from epithelial state to mesenchymal state and confers metastatic properties as well as treatment resistance. Finding factors to inhibit EMT will greatly improve the prognosis patients. Spermatogenesis associated 2 (SPATA2) was originally isolated from human testis and proved playing a role in spermatogenesis. To date, however, the role of SPATA2 in oncogenesis is unknown. In the current study, by mining the public database and validating in a cohort of collected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens, we uncovered that the expression of SPATA2 positively correlated with the prognosis of patients and was an independent prognosis marker in NSCLC. Functional studies proved that ectopic overexpression of SPATA2 inhibited EMT resulting in impaired motility and invasiveness properties in vitro and metastasis in vivo, and increased radiosensitivity in NSCLC. Mechanistic investigation showed that SPATA2 could suppress the β-catenin signaling via attenuating DVL1 ubiquitination to achieve the functions. Taken together, the current study revealed an inhibitory role of SPATA2 on EMT and that SPATA2 could be a potential target for therapy of NSCLC.

SPATA2 restricts OTULIN-dependent LUBAC activity independently of CYLD. Cell Rep 2023; 42:111961.

Abstract
SPATA2 mediates the recruitment of CYLD to immune receptor complexes by bridging the interaction of CYLD with the linear ubiquitylation assembly complex (LUBAC) component HOIP. Whether SPATA2 exhibits functions independently of CYLD is unclear. Here, we show that, while Cyld-/- and Spata2-/- mice are viable, double mutants exhibit highly penetrant perinatal lethality, indicating independent functions of SPATA2 and CYLD. Cyld-/-Spata2-/- fibroblasts show increased M1-linked TNFR1-SC ubiquitylation and, similar to Cyld-/-Spata2-/- macrophages and intestinal epithelial cells, elevated pro-inflammatory gene expression compared with Cyld-/- or Spata2-/- cells. We show that SPATA2 competes with OTULIN for binding to HOIP via its PUB-interacting motif (PIM) and its zinc finger domain, thereby promoting autoubiquitylation of LUBAC. Consistently, increased pro-inflammatory signaling in Cyld-/-Spata2-/- cells depends on the presence of OTULIN. Our data therefore indicate that SPATA2 counteracts, independently of CYLD, the deubiquitylation of LUBAC by OTULIN and thereby attenuates LUBAC activity and pro-inflammatory signaling.

A bio-orthogonal linear ubiquitin probe identifies STAT3 as a direct substrate of OTULIN in glioblastoma. Nucleic Acids Res 2023; 51:1050-1066.

Abstract
While linear ubiquitin plays critical roles in multiple cell signaling pathways, few substrates have been identified. Global profiling of linear ubiquitin substrates represents a significant challenge because of the low endogenous level of linear ubiquitination and the background interference arising from highly abundant ubiquitin linkages (e.g. K48- and K63-) and from the non-specific attachment of interfering proteins to the linear polyubiquitin chain. We developed a bio-orthogonal linear ubiquitin probe by site-specific encoding of a norbornene amino acid on ubiquitin (NAEK-Ub). This probe facilitates covalent labeling of linear ubiquitin substrates in live cells and enables selective enrichment and identification of linear ubiquitin-modified proteins. Given the fact that the frequent overexpression of the linear linkage-specific deubiquitinase OTULIN correlates with poor prognosis in glioblastoma, we demonstrated the feasibility of the NAEK-Ub strategy by identifying and validating substrates of linear ubiquitination in patient-derived glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). We identified STAT3 as a bona fide substrate of linear ubiquitin, and showed that linear ubiquitination negatively regulates STAT3 activity by recruitment of the phosphatase TC-PTP to STAT3. Furthermore, we demonstrated that preferential expression of OTULIN in GSCs restricts linear ubiquitination on STAT3 and drives persistent STAT3 signaling, and thereby maintains the stemness and self-renewal of GSCs.

Abstract
The discovery of regulated necrosis revitalizes the understanding of necrosis from a passive and accidental cell death to a highly coordinated and genetically regulated cell death routine. Since the emergence of RIPK1 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 1)-RIPK3-MLKL (mixed lineage kinase domain-like) axis-mediated necroptosis, various other forms of regulated necrosis, including ferroptosis and pyroptosis, have been described, which enrich the understanding of pathophysiological nature of diseases and provide novel therapeutics. Micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals, position centrally in metabolism, which are required to maintain cellular homeostasis and functions. A steady supply of micronutrients benefits health, whereas either deficiency or excessive amounts of micronutrients are considered harmful and clinically associated with certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease. Recent advance reveals that micronutrients are actively involved in the signaling pathways of regulated necrosis. For example, iron-mediated oxidative stress leads to lipid peroxidation, which triggers ferroptotic cell death in cancer cells. In this review, we illustrate the crosstalk between micronutrients and regulated necrosis, and unravel the important roles of micronutrients in the process of regulated necrosis. Meanwhile, we analyze the perspective mechanism of each micronutrient in regulated necrosis, with a particular focus on reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Abstract
Background: Necroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, has been implicated in a variety of cancer-related biological processes. However, the roles of necroptosis-related genes in thyroid cancer yet remain unknown. Methods: A necroptosis-related gene signature was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and Cox regression analysis. The predictive value of the prognostic signature was validated in an internal cohort. Additionally, the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to examine the relationships between necroptosis and immune cells, immunological functions, and immune checkpoints. Next, the modeled genes expressions were validated in 96 pairs of clinical tumor and normal tissue samples. Finally, the effects of modeled genes on PTC cells were studied by RNA interference approaches in vitro. Results: In this study, the risk signature of seven necroptosis-related genes was created to predict the prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients, and all patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups. Patients in the high-risk group fared worse in terms of overall survival than those in the low-risk group. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curves proved the predictive capability of created signature. The risk score was found to be an independent risk factor for prognosis in multivariate Cox analysis. The low-risk group showed increased immune cell infiltration and immunological activity, implying that they might respond better to immune checkpoint inhibitor medication. Next, GEO database and qRT-PCR in 96 pairs of matched tumorous and non-tumorous tissues were used to validate the expression of the seven modeled genes in PTCs, and the results were compatible with TCGA database. Finally, overexpression of IPMK, KLF9, SPATA2 could significantly inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of PTC cells. Conclusion: The created necroptosis associated risk signature has the potential to have prognostic capability in PTC for patient outcome. The findings of this study could pave the way for further research into the link between necroptosis and tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a key pattern recognition receptor that can be activated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide to elicit inflammatory response. Proper activation of TLR4 is critical for the host defense against microbial infections. Since overactivation of TLR4 causes deleterious effects and inflammatory diseases, its activation needs to be tightly controlled by negative regulatory mechanisms, among which the most pivotal could be deubiquitination of key signaling molecules mediated by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). CYLD is a member of the USP family of DUBs that acts as a critical negative regulator of TLR4-depedent inflammatory responses by deconjugating polyubiquitin chains from signaling molecules, such as TRAF6 and TAK1. Dysregulation of CYLD is implicated in inflammatory diseases. However, how the function of CYLD is regulated during inflammatory response remains largely unclear. Recently, we and other authors have shown that Spata2 functions as an important CYLD partner to regulate enzymatic activity of CYLD and substrate binding by this protein. Here, we show that a Spata2-like protein, Spata2L, can also form a complex with CYLD to inhibit the TLR4-dependent inflammatory response. We found that Spata2L constitutively interacts with CYLD and that the deficiency of Spata2L enhances the LPS-induced NF-κB activation and proinflammatory cytokine gene expression. Mechanistically, Spata2L potentiated CYLD-mediated deubiquitination of TRAF6 and TAK1 likely by promoting CYLD enzymatic activity. These findings identify Spata2L as a novel CYLD regulator, provide new insights into regulatory mechanisms underlying CYLD role in TLR4 signaling, and suggest potential targets for modulating TLR4-induced inflammation.

Abstract
Necroptosis, or programmed necrosis, is an inflammatory form of cell death with important functions in host defense against pathogens and tissue homeostasis. The four cytosolic receptor-interacting protein kinase homotypic interaction motif (RHIM)-containing adaptor proteins RIPK1, RIPK3, TRIF (also known as TICAM1) and ZBP1 mediate necroptosis induction in response to infection and cytokine or innate immune receptor activation. Activation of the RHIM adaptors leads to phosphorylation, oligomerization and membrane targeting of the necroptosis effector protein mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). Active MLKL induces lesions on the plasma membrane, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Thus, activities of the RHIM adaptors and MLKL are tightly regulated by posttranslational modifications to prevent inadvertent release of immunogenic contents. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we provide an overview of the regulatory mechanisms of necroptosis and its biological functions in tissue homeostasis, pathogen infection and other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Necroptotic cell death is mediated by a super-molecular complex called necrosome which consists of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 and 3 (RIPK1, RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). The role of these kinases has been extensively investigated in the regulation of necroptosis. However, whether the protein phosphatase is involved in necroptosis is still largely unknown. Here, we identified protein phosphatase 6 catalytic subunit (PPP6C) promotes TNF-induced necroptosis by genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 library screening. We found that PPP6C deficiency protects cells from TNF-induced necroptosis in a phosphatase-activity-dependent manner. Mechanistically, PPP6C acts as a TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) phosphatase to inactivate its kinase activity. Deletion of PPP6C leads to hyperactivation of TAK1 and reduced RIPK1 kinase activity upon TNF stimulation. We further showed that heterozygous deletion of Ppp6c in mouse gastrointestinal tract alleviates necroptosis-related tissue injury and inflammation. Thus, our study identifies PPP6C as an important regulator of necroptosis and highlights a central role of phosphatase in the regulation of necroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
RationaleWhile reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been recognized as one of the main causes of cardiac injury following myocardial infarction, the clinical application of antioxidants has shown limited effects on protecting hearts against ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Thus, the precise role of ROS following cardiac injury remains to be fully elucidated.ObjectiveWe investigated the role of mitsugumin 53 (MG53) in regulating necroptosis following I/R injury to the hearts and the involvement of ROS in MG53-mediated cardioprotection.Methods and ResultsAntioxidants were used to test the role of ROS in MG53-mediated cardioprotection in the mouse model of I/R injury and induced human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-derived cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia or re-oxygenation (H/R) injury. Western blotting and co-immunoprecipitation were used to identify potential cell death pathways that MG53 was involved in. CRISPR/Cas 9-mediated genome editing and mutagenesis assays were performed to further identify specific interaction amino acids between MG53 and its ubiquitin E3 ligase substrate. We found that MG53 could protect myocardial injury via inhibiting the necroptosis pathway. Upon injury, the generation of ROS in the infarct zone of the hearts promoted interaction between MG53 and receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1). As an E3 ubiquitin ligase, MG53 added multiple ubiquitin chains to RIPK1 at the sites of K316, K604, and K627 for proteasome-mediated RIPK1 degradation and inhibited necroptosis. The application of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) disrupted the interaction between MG53 and RIPK1 and abolished MG53-mediated cardioprotective effects.ConclusionsTaken together, this study provided a molecular mechanism of a potential beneficial role of ROS following acute myocardial infarction. Thus, fine-tuning ROS levels might be critical for cardioprotection.

Abstract
Apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis are distinct forms of programmed cell death that eliminate infected, damaged, or obsolete cells. Many proteins that regulate or are a part of the cell death machinery undergo ubiquitination, a post-translational modification made by ubiquitin ligases that modulates protein abundance, localization, and/or activity. For example, some ubiquitin chains target proteins for degradation, while others function as scaffolds for the assembly of signaling complexes. Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are the proteases that counteract ubiquitin ligases by cleaving ubiquitin from their protein substrates. Here, we review the DUBs that have been found to suppress or promote apoptosis, pyroptosis, or necroptosis.

Abstract
The concept of cell death has been expanded beyond apoptosis and necrosis to additional forms, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. These cell death modalities play a critical role in all aspects of life, which are noteworthy for their diverse roles in diseases. Atherosclerosis (AS) and vascular calcification (VC) are major causes for the high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. Despite considerable advances in understanding the signaling pathways associated with AS and VC, the exact molecular basis remains obscure. In the article, we review the molecular mechanisms that mediate cell death and its implications for AS and VC. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying cell death in AS and VC may drive the development of promising therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Cell death is a crucial event underlying cardiac ischemic injury, pathological remodeling, and heart failure. Unlike apoptosis, necrosis had long been regarded as a passive and unregulated process. However, recent studies demonstrate that a significant subset of necrotic cell death is actively mediated through regulated pathways - a process known as "regulated necrosis". As a form of regulated necrosis, necroptosis is mediated by death receptors and executed through the activation of receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and its downstream substrate mixed lineage kinase-like domain (MLKL). Recent studies have provided compelling evidence that necroptosis plays an important role in myocardial homeostasis, ischemic injury, pathological remodeling, and heart failure. Moreover, it has been shown that genetic and pharmacological manipulations of the necroptosis signaling pathway elicit cardioprotective effects. Important progress has also been made regarding the molecular mechanisms that regulate necroptotic cell death in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we discuss molecular and cellular mechanisms of necroptosis, potential crosstalk between necroptosis and other cell death pathways, functional implications of necroptosis in heart disease, and new therapeutic strategies that target necroptosis signaling.

Abstract
Chronic alcohol consumption can cause alcoholic liver disease (ALD), leading to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Complex disease progression of ALD varies from alcoholic fatty liver to alcoholic steatohepatitis, eventually contributing to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Accumulating evidence revealed that necroptosis, a way of programmed cell death different from apoptosis and traditional necrosis, is involved in the underlying pathogenic molecular mechanism of ALD. Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3 and mixed‐lineage kinase domain‐like pseudokinase have been implicated as key mediators to execute necroptosis. Also, necroptosis has gained increasing attention due to its potential association with primary pathological hallmarks of ALD, including oxidative stress, hepatic steatosis and inflammation. This review summarizes the recent progress on the roles and mechanisms of necroptosis and focuses on the crosstalk between necroptosis and the other pathogenesis of ALD, providing a theoretical basis for targeting necroptosis as a novel treatment for ALD.

Abstract
Non-degradative ubiquitin chains and phosphorylation events govern signaling responses by innate immune receptors. The deubiquitinase CYLD in complex with SPATA2 is recruited to receptor signaling complexes by the ubiquitin ligase LUBAC and regulates Met1- and Lys63-linked polyubiquitin and receptor signaling outcomes. Here, we investigate the molecular determinants of CYLD activity. We reveal that two CAP-Gly domains in CYLD are ubiquitin-binding domains and demonstrate a requirement of CAP-Gly3 for CYLD activity and regulation of immune receptor signaling. Moreover, we identify a phosphorylation switch outside of the catalytic USP domain, which activates CYLD toward Lys63-linked polyubiquitin. The phosphorylated residue Ser568 is a novel tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-regulated phosphorylation site in CYLD and works in concert with Ser418 to enable CYLD-mediated deubiquitination and immune receptor signaling. We propose that phosphorylated CYLD, together with SPATA2 and LUBAC, functions as a ubiquitin-editing complex that balances Lys63- and Met1-linked polyubiquitin at receptor signaling complexes to promote LUBAC signaling.

Abstract
In the past decades, apoptosis has been the most well-studied regulated cell death (RCD) that has essential functions in tissue homeostasis throughout life. However, a novel form of RCD called necroptosis, which requires receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), has recently been receiving increasing scientific attention. The phosphorylation of RIPK3 enables the recruitment and phosphorylation of MLKL, which oligomerizes and translocates to the plasma membranes, ultimately leading to plasma membrane rupture and cell death. Although apoptosis elicits no inflammatory responses, necroptosis triggers inflammation or causes an innate immune response to protect the body through the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Increasing evidence now suggests that necroptosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases such as systemic inflammation, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, neurological diseases, and cancer. This review summarizes the emerging insights of necroptosis and its contribution toward the pathogenesis of lung diseases.

Abstract
Brain inflammation induced by ischemic stroke is an important cause of secondary brain injury. The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling are believed to drive the progression of brain inflammation. Spermatogenesis-associated protein2 (SPATA2) functions as a partner protein that recruits CYLD, a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling, to signaling complexes. However, the role of SPATA2 in the central nervous system remains unclear and whether it is involved in regulating inflammatory responses remains controversial. Rats were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion (tMCAO/R) surgery. The expression and localization of SPATA2 in the brain were investigated. The lentivirus-mediated shRNA was employed to inhibit SPATA2 expression. The inflammatory responses and outcomes of Spata2 knockdown were investigated. SPATA2 was co-localized with CYLD in neurons. SPATA2 expression was reduced in tMCAO/R rats. Spata2 knockdown resulted in increased microglia, increased expression of Tnfa, Il-1β, and Il-18, decreased Garcia score, and increased infarct volume. Spata2 knockdown resulted in the activation of P38MAPK and NLRP3 inflammasome and the increased activation of NF-κB signaling. These results suggest that SPATA2 plays a protective role against brain inflammation induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury. Therefore, SPATA2 could be a potential therapeutic target for treating ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Post-translational modification of proteins with ubiquitin (ubiquitination) provides a rapid and versatile mechanism for regulating cellular signalling systems. Met1-linked (or 'linear') ubiquitin chains have emerged as a key regulatory signal that controls cell death, immune signalling, and other vital cellular functions. The molecular machinery that assembles, senses, and disassembles Met1-linked ubiquitin chains is highly specific. In recent years, the thorough biochemical and genetic characterisation of the enzymes and proteins of the Met1-linked ubiquitin signalling machinery has paved the way for substantial advances in our understanding of how Met1-linked ubiquitin chains control cell signalling and biology. Here, we review current knowledge and recent insights into the role of Met1-linked ubiquitin chains in cell signalling with an emphasis on their role in disease biology. Met1-linked ubiquitin has potent regulatory functions in immune signalling, NF-κB transcription factor activation, and cell death. Importantly, mounting evidence shows that dysregulation of Met1-linked ubiquitin signalling is associated with multiple human diseases, including immune disorders, cancer, and neurodegeneration. We discuss the latest evidence on the cellular function of Met1-linked ubiquitin in the context of its associated diseases and highlight new emerging roles of Met1-linked ubiquitin chains in cell signalling, including regulation of protein quality control and metabolism.

Abstract
The ubiquitin system is complex, multifaceted, and is crucial for the modulation of a vast number of cellular processes. Ubiquitination is tightly regulated at different levels by a range of enzymes including E1s, E2s, and E3s, and an array of DUBs. The UPS directs protein degradation through the proteasome, and regulates a wide array of cellular processes including transcription and epigenetic factors as well as key oncoproteins. Ubiquitination is key to the dynamic regulation of programmed cell death. Notably, the TNF signaling pathway is controlled by competing ubiquitin conjugation and deubiquitination, which governs both proteasomal degradation and signaling complex formation. In the inflammatory response, ubiquitination is capable of both activating and dampening inflammasome activation through the control of either protein stability, complex formation, or, in some cases, directly affecting receptor activity. In this review, we discuss the enzymes and targets in the ubiquitin system that regulate fundamental cellular processes regulating cell death, and inflammation, as well as disease consequences resulting from their dysregulation. Finally, we highlight several pre-clinical and clinical compounds that regulate ubiquitin system enzymes, with the aim of restoring homeostasis and ameliorating diseases.

Ubiquitination of RIPK1 regulates its activation mediated by TNFR1 and TLRs signaling in distinct manners. Nat Commun 2020; 11:6364.

Abstract
RIPK1 is a death-domain (DD) containing kinase involved in regulating apoptosis, necroptosis and inflammation. RIPK1 activation is known to be regulated by its DD-mediated interaction and ubiquitination, though underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we show that K627 in human RIPK1-DD and its equivalent K612 in murine RIPK1-DD is a key ubiquitination site that regulates the overall ubiquitination pattern of RIPK1 and its DD-mediated interactions with other DD-containing proteins. K627R/K612R mutation inhibits the activation of RIPK1 and blocks both apoptosis and necroptosis mediated by TNFR1 signaling. However, Ripk1K612R/K612R mutation sensitizes cells to necroptosis and caspase-1 activation in response to TLRs signaling. Ripk1K612R/K612R mice are viable, but develop age-dependent reduction of RIPK1 expression, spontaneous intestinal inflammation and splenomegaly, which can be rescued by antibiotic treatment and partially by Ripk3 deficiency. Furthermore, we show that the interaction of RIPK1 with FADD contributes to suppressing the activation of RIPK3 mediated by TLRs signaling. Our study demonstrates the distinct roles of K612 ubiquitination in mRIPK1/K627 ubiquitination in hRIPK1 in regulating its pro-death kinase activity in response to TNFα and pro-survival activity in response to TLRs signaling.

Abstract
Linear ubiquitination has emerged as an important post-translational modification that regulates NF-κB activation, inflammation, and cell death in both immune and non-immune compartments, including the skin. The deubiquitinase OTULIN specifically disassembles linear ubiquitin chains generated by the linear ubiquitin assembly complex (LUBAC) and is necessary to prevent embryonic lethality and autoinflammatory disease. Here, we dissect the direct role of OTULIN in cell death and find that OTULIN limits apoptosis and necroptosis in keratinocytes. During apoptosis, OTULIN is cleaved by capase-3 at Asp-31 into a C-terminal fragment that restricts caspase activation and cell death. During necroptosis, OTULIN is hyper-phosphorylated at Tyr-56, which modulates RIPK1 ubiquitin dynamics and promotes cell death. OTULIN Tyr-56 phosphorylation is counteracted by the activity of dual-specificity phosphatase 14 (DUSP14), which we identify as an OTULIN phosphatase that limits necroptosis. Our data provide evidence of dynamic post-translational modifications of OTULIN and highlight their importance in cell death outcome.

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
The tumor suppressor CYLD is a deubiquitinating enzyme that removes non-degradative ubiquitin linkages bound to a variety of signal transduction adaptors. CYLD participates in the formation of primary cilia, a microtubule-based structure that protrudes from the cell body to act as a "sensing antenna." Yet, how exactly CYLD regulates ciliogenesis is not fully understood. Here, we conducted an unbiased proteomic screen of CYLD binding partners and identified components of the centriolar satellites. These small granular structures, tethered to the scaffold protein pericentriolar matrix protein 1 (PCM1), gravitate toward the centrosome and orchestrate ciliogenesis. CYLD knockdown promotes PCM1 degradation and the subsequent dismantling of the centriolar satellites. We found that CYLD marshals the centriolar satellites by deubiquitinating and preventing the E3 ligase Mindbomb 1 (MIB1) from marking PCM1 for proteasomal degradation. These results link CYLD to the regulation of centriolar satellites proteostasis and provide insight into how reversible ubiquitination finely tunes ciliogenesis.

Abstract
Receptor Interacting Protein Kinase 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3 are key adaptors that play critical roles in inflammatory and cell death signaling. Work in recent years have shown that their activities are tightly regulated by ubiquitination, phosphorylation and proteolysis. In addition to these post-translational modifications, the expression and activities of these kinases can further be tuned by environmental changes in pH and oxygen content. Proper control of these regulatory processes is crucial for the RIP kinases to execute their functions in immune responses and tissue homeostasis. In this review, we discuss recent advance in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the activities of the RIP kinases. We will also discuss how the different regulatory mechanisms contribute to the functions of RIPK1 and RIPK3 in different pathophysiological settings.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF; TNFα) is a critical regulator of immune responses in healthy organisms and in disease. TNF is involved in the development and proper functioning of the immune system by mediating cell survival and cell death inducing signaling. TNF stimulated signaling pathways are tightly regulated by a series of phosphorylation and ubiquitination events, which enable timely association of TNF receptors-associated intracellular signaling complexes. Disruption of these signaling events can disturb the balance and the composition of signaling complexes, potentially resulting in severe inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background Genetic biomarkers of lung cancer (LC) susceptibility may provide a basis for treatment and prevention. This study analyzed an association between SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in the complementary region of the 3′-UTR (3′ untranslated region) of microRNAs of the gene RIPK1 (receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1) and LC among an adult Han Chinese population aged younger than 60 years. Also explored the effect of regulation of the RIPK1 gene via rs17548629 and microRNA-1197 on the occurrence of LC. Methods RIPK1 variants (rs17548629, rs77736895) were determined in a population of 571 adults (younger than 60 years) with LC, and 609 gender- and age-matched healthy individuals. Bioinformatics methods predicted the microRNAs bound to rs17548629. Dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the presence of both rs17548629 and the predicted microRNA. Results A mutation (T) of rs17548629 was associated with an increased risk for LC in this population under the codominant and recessive genetic models. The risk of lung adenocarcinoma in rs17548629 mutant carriers was 1.769-fold higher than that of the wildtype. In vitro, the luciferase activity of co-transfected mutant psiCHECK2-RIPK1 and microRNA-1197 mimics was less than that of the group transfected with microRNA-1197 mimics only. Factorial analysis indicated interactions between microRNA-1197 mimics and genotypes of rs17548629. Conclusion A mutation (T) of rs17548629 may increase the risk of LC/lung adenocarcinoma in adult Han populations younger than 60 years. When carrying the T allele, rs17548629 may be the target of hsa-miR-1197. This mutation may affect transcriptional level of the RIPK1, thereby promoting the occurrence of LC.

Abstract
Apoptosis is crucial for the normal development of the nervous system, whereas neurons in the adult CNS are relatively resistant to this form of cell death. However, under pathological conditions, upregulation of death receptor family ligands, such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF), can sensitize cells in the CNS to apoptosis and a form of regulated necrotic cell death known as necroptosis that is mediated by receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Necroptosis promotes further cell death and neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease. In this Review, we outline the evidence implicating necroptosis in these neurological diseases and suggest that targeting RIPK1 might help to inhibit multiple cell death pathways and ameliorate neuroinflammation.

Abstract
The innate immune sensor NLRP3 assembles an inflammasome complex with NEK7 and ASC to activate caspase-1 and drive the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. NLRP3 inflammasome activity must be tightly controlled, as its over-activation is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Here, we show that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is suppressed by a centrosomal protein Spata2. Spata2 deficiency enhances NLRP3 inflammasome activity both in the macrophages and in an animal model of peritonitis. Mechanistically, Spata2 recruits the deubiquitinase CYLD to the centrosome for deubiquitination of polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator of centrosome duplication. Deubiquitination of PLK4 facilitates its binding to and phosphorylation of NEK7 at Ser204. NEK7 phosphorylation in turn attenuates NEK7 and NLRP3 interaction, which is required for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Pharmacological or shRNA-mediated inhibition of PLK4, or mutation of the NEK7 Ser204 phosphorylation site, augments NEK7 interaction with NLRP3 and causes increased NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our study unravels a novel centrosomal regulatory pathway of inflammasome activation and may provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of NLRP3-associated inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Cell death has a fundamental impact on the evolution of degenerative disorders, autoimmune processes, inflammatory diseases, tumor formation and immune surveillance. Over the past couple of decades extensive studies have uncovered novel cell death pathways, which are independent of apoptosis. Among these is necroptosis, a tightly regulated, inflammatory form of cell death. Necroptosis contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases and in this review, we will focus exclusively on necroptosis in humans. Necroptosis is considered a backup mechanism of apoptosis, but the in vivo appearance of necroptosis indicates that both caspase-mediated and caspase-independent mechanisms control necroptosis. Necroptosis is regulated on multiple levels, from the transcription, to the stability and posttranslational modifications of the necrosome components, to the availability of molecular interaction partners and the localization of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Accordingly, we classified the role of more than seventy molecules in necroptotic signaling based on consistent in vitro or in vivo evidence to understand the molecular background of necroptosis and to find opportunities where regulating the intensity and the modality of cell death could be exploited in clinical interventions. Necroptosis specific inhibitors are under development, but >20 drugs, already used in the treatment of various diseases, have the potential to regulate necroptosis. By listing necroptosis-modulated human diseases and cataloging the currently available drug-repertoire to modify necroptosis intensity, we hope to kick-start approaches with immediate translational potential. We also indicate where necroptosis regulating capacity should be considered in the current applications of these drugs.

Abstract
Twelve regulated cell death programs have been described. We review in detail the basic biology of nine including death receptor-mediated apoptosis, death receptor-mediated necrosis (necroptosis), mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, mitochondrial-mediated necrosis, autophagy-dependent cell death, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, and immunogenic cell death. This is followed by a dissection of the roles of these cell death programs in the major cardiac syndromes: myocardial infarction and heart failure. The most important conclusion relevant to heart disease is that regulated forms of cardiomyocyte death play important roles in both myocardial infarction with reperfusion (ischemia/reperfusion) and heart failure. While a role for apoptosis in ischemia/reperfusion cannot be excluded, regulated forms of necrosis, through both death receptor and mitochondrial pathways, are critical. Ferroptosis and parthanatos are also likely important in ischemia/reperfusion, although it is unclear if these entities are functioning as independent death programs or as amplification mechanisms for necrotic cell death. Pyroptosis may also contribute to ischemia/reperfusion injury, but potentially through effects in non-cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocyte loss through apoptosis and necrosis is also an important component in the pathogenesis of heart failure and is mediated by both death receptor and mitochondrial signaling. Roles for immunogenic cell death in cardiac disease remain to be defined but merit study in this era of immune checkpoint cancer therapy. Biology-based approaches to inhibit cell death in the various cardiac syndromes are also discussed.

Abstract
Pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, induced by pathogens, tissue damage or cytokines, depend on the ubiquitylation of various subunits of receptor signaling complexes, controlled by ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases. Ubiquitylation sets the stage for the activation of kinases within these receptor complexes, which ultimately regulate pro-inflammatory gene expression. The receptors, which transduce pro-inflammatory signals, can often induce cell death, which is controlled by ubiquitylation as well. In this review, we discuss the key role of ubiquitylation in pro-inflammatory signaling by TNFR1 and TLRs and its role in setting the threshold for cell death induced by these pro-inflammatory triggers.

Abstract
Necroptosis and ferroptosis are two distinct necrotic cell death modalities with no known common molecular mechanisms. Necroptosis is activated by ligands of death receptors such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) under caspase-deficient conditions, whereas ferroptosis is mediated by the accumulation of lipid peroxides upon the depletion/or inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). The molecular mechanism that mediates the execution of ferroptosis remains unclear. In this study, we identified 2-amino-5-chloro-N,3-dimethylbenzamide (CDDO), a compound known to inhibit heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), as an inhibitor of necroptosis that could also inhibit ferroptosis. We found that HSP90 defined a common regulatory nodal between necroptosis and ferroptosis. We showed that inhibition of HSP90 by CDDO blocked necroptosis by inhibiting the activation of RIPK1 kinase. Furthermore, we showed that the activation of ferroptosis by erastin increased the levels of lysosome-associated membrane protein 2a to promote chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), which, in turn, promoted the degradation of GPX4. Importantly, inhibition of CMA stabilized GPX4 and reduced ferroptosis. Our results suggest that activation of CMA is involved in the execution of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Regulation of cell survival and death, including apoptosis and necroptosis, is important for normal development and tissue homeostasis, and disruption of these processes can cause cancer, inflammatory diseases, and degenerative diseases. Ubiquitination is a cellular process that induces proteasomal degradation by covalently attaching ubiquitin to the substrate protein. In addition to proteolytic ubiquitination, nonproteolytic ubiquitination, such as M1-linked and K63-linked ubiquitination, has been shown to be important in recent studies, which have demonstrated its function in cell signaling pathways that regulate inflammation and cell death pathways. In this review, we summarize the TRAIL- and TNF-induced death receptor signaling pathways along with recent advances in this field and illustrate how different types of ubiquitination control cell death and survival. In particular, we provide an overview of the different types of ubiquitination, target residues, and modifying enzymes, including E3 ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes. Given the relevance of these regulatory pathways in human disease, we hope that a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of cell death pathways will provide insights into and therapeutic strategies for related diseases.

Abstract
Linear ubiquitin chain is a latest discovered type of poly-ubiquitin chain that is broadly involved in innate immune and inflammatory pathways. Dysfunctions in its assembly, recognition or disassembly are intimately related with numerous immunodeficiency or autoimmune diseases. Our understanding of the molecular mechanism for linear ubiquitin chain formation, recognition and disassembly has being significantly evolved in recent years, with particular contribution from the biochemical and structural characterizations of related proteins. Here, we focus on the relevant proteins for the synthesis, recognition and digestion of linear ubiquitin chain, and review recent findings to summarize currently known molecular mechanism from a perspective of structural biology.

Abstract
This review by Shan et al. discusses necroptosis, a form of regulated necrotic cell death mediated by RIPK1 kinase activity, RIPK3, and MLKL, which can be activated under apoptosis-deficient conditions. Both necroptosis and apoptosis can be activated in response to various mutations that result in the abortion of defective embryos and during human inflammatory and neurodegenerative pathologies. Necroptosis, a form of regulated necrotic cell death mediated by RIPK1 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 1) kinase activity, RIPK3, and MLKL (mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase), can be activated under apoptosis-deficient conditions. Modulating the activation of RIPK1 by ubiquitination and phosphorylation is critical to control both necroptosis and apoptosis. Mutant mice with kinase-dead RIPK1 or RIPK3 and MLKL deficiency show no detrimental phenotype in regard to development and adult homeostasis. However, necroptosis and apoptosis can be activated in response to various mutations that result in the abortion of the defective embryos and human inflammatory and neurodegenerative pathologies. RIPK1 inhibition represents a key therapeutic strategy for treatment of diseases where blocking both necroptosis and apoptosis can be beneficial.

Abstract
Stimulation of cells with TNFα can promote distinct cell death pathways, including RIPK1-independent apoptosis, necroptosis, and RIPK1-dependent apoptosis (RDA)-the latter of which we still know little about. Here we show that RDA involves the rapid formation of a distinct detergent-insoluble, highly ubiquitinated, and activated RIPK1 pool, termed "iuRIPK1." iuRIPK1 forms after RIPK1 activation in TNF-receptor-associated complex I, and before cytosolic complex II formation and caspase activation. To identify regulators of iuRIPK1 formation and RIPK1 activation in RDA, we conducted a targeted siRNA screen of 1,288 genes. We found that NEK1, whose loss-of-function mutations have been identified in 3% of ALS patients, binds to activated RIPK1 and restricts RDA by negatively regulating formation of iuRIPK1, while LRRK2, a kinase implicated in Parkinson's disease, promotes RIPK1 activation and association with complex I in RDA. Further, the E3 ligases APC11 and c-Cbl promote RDA, and c-Cbl is recruited to complex I in RDA, where it promotes prodeath K63-ubiquitination of RIPK1 to lead to iuRIPK1 formation. Finally, we show that two different modes of necroptosis induction by TNFα exist which are differentially regulated by iuRIPK1 formation. Overall, this work reveals a distinct mechanism of RIPK1 activation that mediates the signaling mechanism of RDA as well as a type of necroptosis.

Abstract
RIPK1 is a critical mediator of cell death and inflammation downstream of TNFR1 upon stimulation by TNFα, a potent proinflammatory cytokine involved in a multitude of human inflammatory and degenerative diseases. RIPK1 contains an N-terminal kinase domain, an intermediate domain, and a C-terminal death domain (DD). The kinase activity of RIPK1 promotes cell death and inflammation. Here, we investigated the involvement of RIPK1-DD in the regulation of RIPK1 kinase activity. We show that a charge-conserved mutation of a lysine located on the surface of DD (K599R in human RIPK1 or K584R in murine RIPK1) blocks RIPK1 activation in necroptosis and RIPK1-dependent apoptosis and the formation of complex II. Ripk1K584R/K584R knockin mutant cells are resistant to RIPK1 kinase-dependent apoptosis and necroptosis. The resistance of K584R cells, however, can be overcome by forced dimerization of RIPK1. Finally, we show that the K584R RIPK1 knockin mutation protects mice against TNFα-induced systematic inflammatory response syndrome. Our study demonstrates the role of RIPK1-DD in mediating RIPK1 dimerization and activation of its kinase activity during necroptosis and RIPK1-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
Apoptosis and necroptosis are two distinct cell death mechanisms that may be activated in cells on stimulation by TNFα. It is still unclear, however, how apoptosis and necroptosis may be differentially regulated. Here we screened for E3 ubiquitin ligases that could mediate necroptosis. We found that deficiency of Pellino 1 (PELI1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, blocked necroptosis. We show that PELI1 mediates K63 ubiquitination on K115 of RIPK1 in a kinase-dependent manner during necroptosis. Ubiquitination of RIPK1 by PELI1 promotes the formation of necrosome and execution of necroptosis. Although PELI1 is not directly involved in mediating the activation of RIPK1, it is indispensable for promoting the binding of activated RIPK1 with its downstream mediator RIPK3 to promote the activation of RIPK3 and MLKL. Inhibition of RIPK1 kinase activity blocks PELI1-mediated ubiquitination of RIPK1 in necroptosis. However, we show that PELI1 deficiency sensitizes cells to both RIPK1-dependent and RIPK1-independent apoptosis as a result of down-regulated expression of c-FLIP, an inhibitor of caspase-8. Finally, we show that Peli1-/- mice are sensitized to TNFα-induced apoptosis. Thus, PELI1 is a key modulator of RIPK1 that differentially controls the activation of necroptosis and apoptosis.
