Receptor interacting protein 3 kinase, not 1 kinase, through MLKL-mediated necroptosis is involved in UVA-induced corneal endothelium cell death.

ABSTRACT: Ultraviolet (UV) is one of the most energetic radiations in the solar spectrum that can result in various tissue injury disorders. Previous studies demonstrated that UVA, which represents 95% of incident photovoltaic radiation, induces corneal endothelial cells (CECs) death. Programmed cell death (PCD) has been implicated in numerous ophthalmologic diseases. Here, we investigated receptor-interacting protein 3 kinase (RIPK3), a key signaling molecule of PCD, in UVA-induced injury using a short-term corneal endothelium (CE) culture model. UVA irradiation activated RIPK3 and mediated necroptosis both in mouse CE and primary human CECs (pHCECs). UVA irradiation was associated with upregulation of key necroptotic molecules (DAI, TRIF, and MLKL) that lie downstream of RIPK3. Moreover, RIPK3 inhibition or silencing in primary corneal endothelial cells suppresses UVA-induced cell death, along with downregulation of MLKL in pHCECs. In addition, genetic inhibition or knockout of RIPK3 in mice (RIPK3^K51A and RIPK3^-/- mice) similarly attenuates cell death and the levels of necroptosis in ex vivo UVA irradiation experiments. In conclusion, these results identify RIPK3, not RIPK1, as a critical regulator of UVA-induced cell death in CE and indicate its potential as a future protective target.

UVA induces retinal photoreceptor cell death via receptor interacting protein 3 kinase mediated necroptosis.

Project description:Ultraviolet light A (UVA) is the only UV light that reaches the retina and can cause indirect damage to DNA via absorption of photons by non-DNA chromophores. Previous studies demonstrate that UVA generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to programmed cell death. Programmed cell death (PCD) has been implicated in numerous ophthalmologic diseases. Here, we investigated receptor interacting protein 1 and 3 (RIPK1 and RIPK3) kinases, key signaling molecules of PCD, in UVA-induced photoreceptor injury using in vitro and ex vivo models. UVA irradiation activated RIPK3 but not RIPK1 and mediated necroptosis through MLKL that lie downstream of RIPK3 and induced apoptosis through increased oxidative stress. Moreover, RIPK3 but not RIPK1 inhibition suppresses UVA-induced cell death along with the downregulation of MLKL and attenuates the levels of oxidative stress and DNA fragmentation. In conclusion, these results identify RIPK3, not RIPK1, as a critical regulator of UVA-induced necroptosis cell death in photoreceptors and highlight RIPK3 potential as a neuroprotective target.

MLKL and CaMKII Are Involved in RIPK3-Mediated Smooth Muscle Cell Necroptosis.

Project description:Receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)-mediated smooth muscle cell (SMC) necroptosis has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, the signaling steps downstream from RIPK3 during SMC necroptosis remain unknown. In this study, the roles of mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in SMC necroptosis were investigated. We found that both MLKL and CaMKII were phosphorylated in SMCs in a murine CaCl2-driven model of AAA and that Ripk3 deficiency reduced the phosphorylation of MLKL and CaMKII. In vitro, mouse aortic SMCs were treated with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) plus Z-VAD-FMK (zVAD) to induce necroptosis. Our data showed that both MLKL and CaMKII were phosphorylated after TNFα plus zVAD treatment in a time-dependent manner. SiRNA silencing of Mlkl-diminished cell death and administration of the CaMKII inhibitor myristoylated autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (Myr-AIP) or siRNAs against Camk2d partially inhibited necroptosis. Moreover, knocking down Mlkl decreased CaMKII phosphorylation, but silencing Camk2d did not affect phosphorylation, oligomerization, or trafficking of MLKL. Together, our results indicate that both MLKL and CaMKII are involved in RIPK3-mediated SMC necroptosis, and that MLKL is likely upstream of CaMKII in this process.

Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 3 (RIPK3)-Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like Protein (MLKL)-Mediated Necroptosis Contributes to Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury of Steatotic Livers.

Project description:Increased hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in steatotic livers is a major reason for rejecting the use of fatty livers for liver transplantation. Necroptosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of fatty liver diseases. Necroptosis is regulated by three key proteins: receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK)-1, RIPK3, and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Here, we found that marked steatosis of the liver was induced when a Western diet was given in mice; steatosis was associated with the inhibition of hepatic proteasome activities and with increased levels of key necroptosis-related proteins. Mice fed a Western diet had more severe liver injury, as demonstrated by increases in serum alanine aminotransferase and necrotic areas of liver, after IR than did mice fed a control diet. Although hepatic steatosis was not different between Mlkl knockout mice and wild-type mice, Mlkl knockout mice had decreased hepatic neutrophil infiltration and inflammation and were protected from hepatic IR injury, irrespective of diet. Intriguingly, Ripk3 knockout or Ripk3 kinase-dead knock-in mice were protected against IR injury at the late phase but not the early phase, irrespective of diet. Overall, our findings indicate that liver steatosis exacerbates hepatic IR injury via increased MLKL-mediated necroptosis. Targeting MLKL-mediated necroptosis may help to improve outcomes in steatotic liver transplantation.

Flicking the molecular switch underlying MLKL-mediated necroptosis.

Project description:The pseudokinase domain of the necroptosis effector mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) functions as a latch to restrain the unleashing of its N-terminal 4-helix bundle (4HB) domain. Cell death mediated by the 4HB domain relies on membrane association and oligomerization, which can be inhibited by an ATP-mimetic small molecule that binds the pseudokinase domain of MLKL.

Cytotoxicity of crystals involves RIPK3-MLKL-mediated necroptosis.

Project description:Crystals cause injury in numerous disorders, and induce inflammation via the NLRP3 inflammasome, however, it remains unclear how crystals induce cell death. Here we report that crystals of calcium oxalate, monosodium urate, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and cystine trigger caspase-independent cell death in five different cell types, which is blocked by necrostatin-1. RNA interference for receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) or mixed lineage kinase domain like (MLKL), two core proteins of the necroptosis pathway, blocks crystal cytotoxicity. Consistent with this, deficiency of RIPK3 or MLKL prevents oxalate crystal-induced acute kidney injury. The related tissue inflammation drives TNF-?-related necroptosis. Also in human oxalate crystal-related acute kidney injury, dying tubular cells stain positive for phosphorylated MLKL. Furthermore, necrostatin-1 and necrosulfonamide, an inhibitor for human MLKL suppress crystal-induced cell death in human renal progenitor cells. Together, TNF-?/TNFR1, RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL are molecular targets to limit crystal-induced cytotoxicity, tissue injury and organ failure.

Characterization of MLKL-mediated Plasma Membrane Rupture in Necroptosis.

Project description:Necroptosis is a programmed cell death pathway triggered by activation of receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), which phosphorylates and activates the mixed lineage kinase-like domain pseudokinase, MLKL, to rupture or permeabilize the plasma membrane. Necroptosis is an inflammatory pathway associated with multiple pathologies including autoimmunity, infectious and cardiovascular diseases, stroke, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Here, we describe protocols that can be used to characterize MLKL as the executioner of plasma membrane rupture in necroptosis. We visualize the process of necroptosis in cells using live-cell imaging with conventional and confocal fluorescence microscopy, and in fixed cells using electron microscopy, which together revealed the redistribution of MLKL from the cytosol to the plasma membrane prior to induction of large holes in the plasma membrane. We present in vitro nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis using lipids to identify putative modulators of MLKL-mediated necroptosis. Based on this method, we identified quantitative lipid-binding preferences and phosphatidyl-inositol phosphates (PIPs) as critical binders of MLKL that are required for plasma membrane targeting and permeabilization in necroptosis.

MLKL Mediated Necroptosis Accelerates JEV-Induced Neuroinflammation in Mice.

Project description:Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the most prevalent cause of viral encephalitis in Asia and the western Pacific. Neuronal death caused by JEV infection and inflammation induced cytotoxicity leads to progression and deterioration of Japanese encephalitis (JE). Mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) mediated necroptosis is a newly discovered pathway of programmed cell death and participates in many inflammatory diseases. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that necroptosis was involved in the neuronal loss during JE via immune-electron microscopy and immunochemistry. The expression of MLKL in neurons was upregulated in presence of JEV infection in vitro and in vivo. Deletion of MLKL alleviated the progression of JE and decreased the level of inflammatory cytokines in mice model. Taken together, this study provides evidence for the participation of necroptosis in the pathogenesis of JEV infection.

Interferon-β deficiency at asthma exacerbation promotes MLKL mediated necroptosis.

Project description:Defective production of antiviral interferon (IFN)-β is thought to contribute to rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations. These exacerbations are associated with elevated lung levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), indicating occurrence of cell necrosis. We thus hypothesized that reduced lung IFN-β could contribute to necrotic cell death in a model of asthma exacerbations. Wild-type and IFN-β-/- mice were given saline or house dust mite (HDM) intranasally for 3 weeks to induce inflammation. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was then given for additional 3 days to induce exacerbation. HDM induced an eosinophilic inflammation, which was not associated with increased expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP or elevated bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) LDH levels in wild-type. However, exacerbation evoked by HDM + dsRNA challenges increased BALF levels of LDH, apoptotic markers and the necroptotic markers receptor-interacting protein (RIP)-3 and phosphorylation of mixed linage kinase domain-like protein (pMLKL), compared to HDM + saline. Absence of IFN-β at exacerbation further increased BALF LDH and protein expression of pMLKL compared to wild-type. We demonstrate that cell death markers are increased at viral stimulus-induced exacerbation in mouse lungs, and that absence of IFN-β augments markers of necroptotic cell death at exacerbation. Our data thus suggest a novel role of deficient IFN-β production at viral-induced exacerbation.

The MLKL kinase-like domain dimerization is an indispensable step of mammalian MLKL activation in necroptosis signaling.

Project description:MLKL phosphorylation by RIP3 is the commitment step of necroptosis execution, which could induce MLKL activation featured as MLKL monomer-oligomer transition. Here, we reported that the dimerization of the MLKL kinase-like domain was the direct consequence of RIP3 triggered MLKL-phosphorylation. Two inter-dimer interfaces were found in the crystal structure of human MLKL. Mutations destroying both interfaces could prevent RIP3-induced MLKL oligomerization and necroptosis efficiently. Moreover, we confirmed MLKL self-assembly by the internal coiled-coil region is necessary for MLKL oligomerization and function. The mutations disrupting coiled-coil self-assembly repressed necroptosis, but it did not prevent RIP3-induced dimerization of the MLKL kinase-like domain. So that, MLKL activation is a sequential process, which begins with kinase-like domain dimerization, and followed by internal coiled-coil region self-assembly to form a proper MLKL oligomer. Besides human MLKL, structural and functional analysis showed the kinase-like domain dimerization was conserved among mammalian species, suggesting it is a general step of the RIP3-induced MLKL activation process.

ROS-Mediated Necroptosis Is Involved in Iron Overload-Induced Osteoblastic Cell Death.

Project description:Excess iron has been reported to lead to osteoblastic cell damage, which is a crucial pathogenesis of iron overload-related osteoporosis. However, the cytotoxic mechanisms have not been fully documented. In the present study, we focused on whether necroptosis contributes to iron overload-induced osteoblastic cell death and related underlying mechanisms. Here, we showed that the cytotoxicity of iron overload in osteoblastic cells was mainly due to necrosis, as evidenced by the Hoechst 33258/PI staining, Annexin-V/PI staining, and transmission electronic microscopy. Furthermore, we revealed that iron overload-induced osteoblastic necrosis might be mediated via the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necroptotic pathway. In addition, we also found that iron overload was able to trigger mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, which is a critical downstream event in the execution of necroptosis. The key finding of our experiment was that iron overload-induced necroptotic cell death might depend on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, as N-acetylcysteine effectively rescued mPTP opening and necroptotic cell death. ROS induced by iron overload promote necroptosis via a positive feedback mechanism, as on the one hand N-acetylcysteine attenuates the upregulation of RIPK1 and RIPK3 and phosphorylation of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL and on the other hand Nec-1, siRIPK1, or siRIPK3 reduced ROS generation. In summary, iron overload induced necroptosis of osteoblastic cells in vitro, which is mediated, at least in part, through the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway. We also highlight the critical role of ROS in the regulation of iron overload-induced necroptosis in osteoblastic cells.
