Necroptosis is the best-described form of regulated necrosis at present, which is widely recognized as a component of caspase-independent cell death mediated by the concerted action of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3). Mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) was phosphorylated by RIPK3 at the threonine 357 and serine 358 residues and then formed tetramers and translocated onto the plasma membrane, which destabilizes plasma membrane integrity leading to cell swelling and membrane rupture. Necroptosis is downstream of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family, and also interaction with NOD-like receptor pyrin 3 (NLRP3) induced inflammasome activation. Multiple inhibitors of RIPK1 and MLKL have been developed to block the cascade of signal pathways for procedural necrosis and represent potential leads for drug development. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the study of roles for necroptosis in cerebral ischemic disease and discuss how these modifications delicately control necroptosis.

Necroptosis is a programmed cell death that is characterized by regulated necrosis resulting in plasma membrane rupture and subsequent release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is a key mediator of this pathway. Accumulating evidence supports a critical role of RIPK3 and the necroptosis pathway in various human diseases. In this review, we discuss recent investigations that have uncovered pathogenic roles of RIPK3 in both acute kidney injury (AKI) and kidney fibrosis. RIPK3 promotes kidney tubular injury via a mechanism involving mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, extracellular mitochondrial DNA, which is one of the necroptotic DAMPs, released from damaged mitochondria correlates with kidney tubular injury and represents a potential novel biomarker. RIPK3 also induces kidney fibrogenesis through AKT-dependent activation of the metabolic enzyme ATP citrate lyase. Thus, the RIPK3-mediated necroptosis pathway may serve as a promising new therapeutic target in AKI and kidney fibrosis.

Essential Components

MLKL and its obligate upstream receptor interacting protein kinase 3 are essential components of necroptosis. It is well established that MLKL is the executioner of plasma membrane rupture in necroptosis. In healthy cells MLKL is dormant. Several dormant configurations have emerged from high-resolution structural studies revealing distinct mechanisms of MLKL autoinhibition in mammals. MLKL is activated through the concerted actions of receptor interacting protein kinase 3, which phosphorylates MLKL, and, in the case of the human pathway, inositol phosphate (IP) metabolites synthesized by the IP kinases of the IP metabolic pathway. Here, we highlight recent progress toward understanding the mechanisms of regulation of human MLKL, and survey the latest opportunities for targeting MLKL in pathophysiology.

Two Hybrid

By the yeast two-hybrid screening of a rat brain cDNA library with the regulatory domain of protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ) as a bait, we have cloned a gene coding for a novel PKCζ-interacting protein homologous to the Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-76 protein involved in axonal outgrowth and fasciculation. The protein designated FEZ1 (fasciculation and elongation protein zeta-1) consisting of 393 amino acid residues shows a high Asp/Glu content and contains several regions predicted to form amphipathic helices. Northern blot analysis has revealed that FEZ1 mRNA is abundantly expressed in adult rat brain and throughout the developmental stages of mouse embryo. By the yeast two-hybrid assay with various deletion mutants of PKC, FEZ1 was shown to interact with the NH2-terminal variable region (V1) of PKCζ and weakly with that of PKCε. In the COS-7 cells coexpressing FEZ1 and PKCζ, FEZ1 was present mainly in the plasma membrane, associating with PKCζ and being phosphorylated. These results indicate that FEZ1 is a novel substrate of PKCζ. When the constitutively active mutant of PKCζ was used, FEZ1 was found in the cytoplasm of COS-7 cells. Upon treatment of the cells with a PKC inhibitor, staurosporin, FEZ1 was translocated from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane, suggesting that the cytoplasmic translocation of FEZ1 is directly regulated by the PKCζ activity. Although expression of FEZ1 alone had no effect on PC12 cells, coexpression of FEZ1 and constitutively active PKCζ stimulated the neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. Combined with the recent finding that a human FEZ1 protein is able to complement the function of UNC-76 necessary for normal axonal bundling and elongation within axon bundles in the nematode, these results suggest that FEZ1 plays a crucial role in the axon guidance machinery in mammals by interacting with PKCζ.

Necroptosis, a form of regulated necrosis, has been reported to be involved in numerous pathologies, including sepsis. However, a protective effect of the selective inhibitor of necroptosis, necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), against sepsis remains to be confirmed. Animals (rats and mice) were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to mimic clinical sepsis. Nec-1 or its vehicle (control) was administered 20 min before CLP. Survival time was observed up to 72 h after CLP. Specimens of liver tissue and serum were obtained at 6 h, 12 h, and 18 h. Expression of necroptosis-related proteins [receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP)1, RIP3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)] was determined by Western blot analysis. The RIP1/RIP3 interaction and the recruitment of MLKL to RIP3 were also analyzed. Liver function, histopathological changes, serum inflammation cytokines, TUNEL staining, and the expression of apoptosis-related protein, including caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), was determined. As expected, Nec-1 administration reduced the expression of necroptosis-related proteins and the RIP1/RIP3 interaction, indicating inhibited necroptosis. Surprisingly, Nec-1 treatment exacerbated the liver injury and shortened survival time of septic rats with increased TUNEL-positive cells, cleaved caspase-3 protein content, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Collectively, these findings show that Nec-1 administration inhibited the hepatocyte necroptosis pathway but accelerated apoptosis via the apoptotic pathway in CLP-induced sepsis rat. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The present study demonstrated that a chemical inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) or receptor-interacting protein kinase(RIP1) knock down targeted at necroptosis inhibition accelerated liver injury of following sepsis. For fundamental research, these results warrant further investigation of the potential link between Nec-1 administration and the cellular apoptosis following sepsis induced liver injury. For applied research, these results suggest the potential harmful effect of Nec-1 on future sepsis treatment.

The Ca2+-permeable Transient Receptor Potential channel vanilloid subfamily member 4 (TRPV4) is involved in a broad range of physiological processes, including the regulation of systemic osmotic pressure, bone resorption, vascular tone, and bladder function. Mutations in the TRPV4 gene are the cause of a spectrum of inherited diseases (or TRPV4-pathies), which include skeletal dysplasias, arthropathies, and neuropathies. There is little understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these variable disease phenotypes, but it has been hypothesized that disease-causing mutations affect interaction with regulatory proteins. Here, we performed a mammalian protein–protein interaction trap (MAPPIT) screen to identify proteins that interact with the cytosolic N terminus of human TRPV4, a region containing the majority of disease-causing mutations. We discovered the zinc-finger domain-containing protein ZC4H2 as a TRPV4-interacting protein. In heterologous expression experiments, we found that ZC4H2 increases both the basal activity of human TRPV4 as well as Ca2+ responses evoked by ligands or hypotonic cell swelling. Using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, we further showed that ZC4H2 accelerates TRPV4 turnover at the plasma membrane. Overall, these data demonstrate that ZC4H2 is a positive modulator of TRPV4, and suggest a link between TRPV4 and ZC4H2-associated rare disorders, which have several neuromuscular symptoms in common with TRPV4-pathies.

Understanding the regulation of death pathways, necrosis and apoptosis, in pancreatitis is important for developing therapies directed to the molecular pathogenesis of the disease. Protein kinase Cε (PKCε) has been previously shown to regulate inflammatory responses and zymogen activation in pancreatitis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that ethanol specifically activated PKCε in pancreatic acinar cells and that PKCε mediated the sensitizing effects of ethanol on inflammatory response in pancreatitis. Here we investigated the role of PKCε in the regulation of death pathways in pancreatitis. We found that genetic deletion of PKCε resulted in decreased necrosis and severity in the in vivo cerulein-induced pancreatitis and that inhibition of PKCε protected the acinar cells from CCK-8 hyperstimulation-induced necrosis and ATP reduction. These findings were associated with upregulation of mitochondrial Bak and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL, proapoptotic and prosurvival members in the Bcl-2 family, respectively, as well as increased mitochondrial cytochrome c release, caspase activation, and apoptosis in pancreatitis in PKCε knockout mice. We further confirmed that cerulein pancreatitis induced a dramatic mitochondrial translocation of PKCε, suggesting that PKCε regulated necrosis in pancreatitis via mechanisms involving mitochondria. Finally, we showed that PKCε deletion downregulated inhibitors of apoptosis proteins, c-IAP2, survivin, and c-FLIPs while promoting cleavage/inactivation of receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP). Taken together, our findings provide evidence that PKCε activation during pancreatitis promotes necrosis through mechanisms involving mitochondrial proapoptotic and prosurvival Bcl-2 family proteins and upregulation of nonmitochondrial pathways that inhibit caspase activation and RIP cleavage/inactivation. Thus PKCε is a potential target for prevention and/or treatment of acute pancreatitis.
