Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is a key regulator of programmed cell death and inflammation during viral infection or sterile tissue injury. Whether and how bacterial infection also activates RIPK3-dependent immune responses remains poorly understood. Here we show that bacterial lipids (lipid IVa or lipid A) form a complex with high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), released by activated immune cells or damaged tissue during bacterial infection, and that this complex triggers RIPK3- a ...[more]
