Crosstalk among mitophagy,pyroptosis,ferroptosis,and necroptosis in central nervous system injuries

Central nervous system injuries have a high rate of resulting in disability and mortality;however,at present,effective treatments are lacking.Programmed cell death,which is a genetically determined fo rm of active and ordered cell death with many types,has recently attra cted increasing attention due to its functions in determining the fate of cell survival.A growing number of studies have suggested that programmed cell death is involved in central nervous system injuries and plays an important role in the progression of brain damage.In this review,we provide an ove rview of the role of programmed cell death in central nervous system injuries,including the pathways involved in mitophagy,pyroptosis,ferroptosis,and necroptosis,and the underlying mechanisms by which mitophagy regulates pyroptosis,ferroptosis,and necro ptosis.We also discuss the new direction of therapeutic strategies to rgeting mitophagy for the treatment of central nervous system injuries,with the aim to determine the connection between programmed cell death and central nervous system injuries and to identify new therapies to modulate programmed cell death following central nervous system injury.In conclusion,based on these properties and effects,interventions targeting programmed cell death could be developed as potential therapeutic agents for central nervous system injury patients.

OSW-1 triggers necroptosis in colorectal cancer cells through the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway facilitated by the RIPK1- p62/SQSTM1 complex

BACKGROUND Necroptosis has emerged as a novel molecular pathway that can be targeted by chemotherapy agents in the treatment of cancer.OSW-1,which is derived from the bulbs of Ornithogalum saundersiae Baker,exerts a wide range of pharmaco-logical effects.AIM To explore whether OSW-1 can induce necroptosis in colorectal cancer(CRC)cells,thereby expanding its range of clinical applications.METHODS We performed a sequence of functional experiments,including Cell Counting Kit-8 assays and flow cytometry analysis,to assess the inhibitory effect of OSW-1 on CRC cells.We utilized quantitative proteomics,employing tandem mass tag label-ing combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry,to analyze changes in protein expression.Subsequent bioinformatic analysis was conducted to elucidate the biological processes associated with the identified proteins.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and immunofluorescence studies were also performed to examine the effects of OSW-1 on necroptosis.Finally,western blotting,siRNA experiments,and immunoprecipitation were employed to evaluate protein interactions within CRC cells.RESULTS The results revealed that OSW-1 exerted a strong inhibitory effect on CRC cells,and this effect was accompanied by a necroptosis-like morphology that was observable via TEM.OSW-1 was shown to trigger necroptosis via activation of the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway.Furthermore,the accumulation of p62/SQSTM1 was shown to mediate OSW-1-induced necroptosis through its interaction with RIPK1.CONCLUSION We propose that OSW-1 can induce necroptosis through the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway,and that this effect is mediated by the RIPK1-p62/SQSTM1 complex,in CRC cells.These results provide a theoretical foundation for the use of OSW-1 in the clinical treatment of CRC.

Necroptosis contributes to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pathoetiology with promising diagnostic and therapeutic functions

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is the most prevalent type of chronic liver disease.However,the disease is underappreciated as a remarkable chronic disorder as there are rare managing strategies.Several studies have focused on determining NAFLD-caused hepatocyte death to elucidate the disease pathoe-tiology and suggest functional therapeutic and diagnostic options.Pyroptosis,ferroptosis,and necroptosis are the main subtypes of non-apoptotic regulated cell deaths(RCDs),each of which represents particular characteristics.Considering the complexity of the findings,the present study aimed to review these types of RCDs and their contribution to NAFLD progression,and subsequently discuss in detail the role of necroptosis in the pathoetiology,diagnosis,and treatment of the disease.The study revealed that necroptosis is involved in the occurrence of NAFLD and its progression towards steatohepatitis and cancer,hence it has potential in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.Nevertheless,further studies are necessary.

Research Progress of Necroptosis in Digestive Diseases

Digestive system diseases refer to organic and functional disorders of the digestive system,which are prone to recurrence and frequently accompanied by multiple complications.Necroptosis is a regulated mode of cell death mediated by death receptors,dependent on receptor protein activation,and could be specifically inhibited by necrostatin-1.Necroptosis is involved in pathological and physiological processes of various diseases,and plays an important role in the growth and development of organisms and the homeostasis of organ tissues.This paper reviewed the research advancement of necroptosis in digestive system disorders,and discussed the relationship between necroptosis and digestive system diseases,aiming to provide theoretical basis for the cure of these diseases.

Protocatechuic acid and quercetin attenuate ETEC-caused IPEC-1 cell inflammation and injury associated with inhibition of necroptosis and pyroptosis signaling pathways

Background:Necroptosis and pyroptosis are newly identified forms of programmed cell death,which play a vital role in development of many gastrointestinal disorders.Although plant polyphenols have been reported to protect intestinal health,it is still unclear whether there is a beneficial role of plant polyphenols in modulating necroptosis and pyroptosis in intestinal porcine epithelial cell line(IPEC-1)infected with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC)K88.This research was conducted to explore whether plant polyphenols including protocatechuic acid(PCA)and quercetin(Que),attenuated inflammation and injury of IPEC-1 caused by ETEC K88 through regulating necroptosis and pyroptosis signaling pathways.Methods:IPEC-1 cells were treated with PCA(40μmol/L)or Que(10μmol/L)in the presence or absence of ETEC K88.Results:PCA and Que decreased ETEC K88 adhesion and endotoxin level(P<0.05)in cell supernatant.PCA and Que increased cell number(P<0.001)and decreased lactate dehydrogenases(LDH)activity(P<0.05)in cell supernatant after ETEC infection.PCA and Que improved transepithelial electrical resistance(TEER)(P<0.001)and reduced fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran(FD4)flux(P<0.001),and enhanced membrane protein abundance of occludin,claudin-1 and ZO-1(P<0.05),and rescued distribution of these tight junction proteins(P<0.05)after ETEC infection.PCA and Que also declined cell necrosis ratio(P<0.05).PCA and Que reduced mRNA abundance and concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-8(P<0.001),and down-regulated gene expression of toll-like receptors 4(TLR4)and its downstream signals(P<0.001)after ETEC infection.PCA and Que down-regulated protein abundance of total receptor interacting protein kinase 1(t-RIP1),phosphorylated-RIP1(p-RIP1),p-RIP1/t-RIP1,t-RIP3,p-RIP3,mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein(MLKL),p-MLKL,dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1),phosphoglycerate mutase 5(PGAM5)and high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)(P<0.05)after ETEC infection.Moreover,PCA and Que reduced protein abundance of nod-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),nod-like receptors family CARD domain-containing protein 4(NLRC4),apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD(ASC),gasdermin D(GSDMD)and caspase-1(P<0.05)after ETEC infection.Conclusions:In general,our data suggest that PCA and Que are capable of attenuating ETEC-caused intestinal inflammation and damage via inhibiting necroptosis and pyroptosis signaling pathways.

MiR-204-3p overexpression inhibits gastric carcinoma cell proliferation by inhibiting the MAPK pathway and RIP1/MLK1 necroptosis pathway to promote apoptosis

BACKGROUND Gastric carcinoma(GC)is the third most frequent cause of cancer-related death,highlighting the pressing need for novel clinical treatment options.In this regard,microRNAs(miRNAs)have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy.Studies have shown that miRNAs can regulate related signaling pathways,acting as tumor suppressors or tumor promoters.AIM To explore the effect of miR-204-3p on GC cells.METHODS We measured the expression levels of miR-204-3p in GC cells using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,followed by the delivery of miR-204-3p overexpression and miR-204-3p knockdown vectors into GC cells.CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of miR-204-3p on the proliferation of GC cells,and the colony formation ability of GC cells was detected by the clonal formation assay.The effects of miR-204-3p on GC cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry.The BABL/c nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model using MKN-45 cells was constructed to verify the effect of miR-204-3p on the tumorigenicity of GC cells.Furthermore,the study investigated the effects of miR-204-3p on various proteins related to the MAPK signaling pathway,necroptosis signaling pathway and apoptosis signaling pathway on GC cells using Western blot techniques.RESULTS Firstly,we found that the expression of miR-204-3p in GC was low.When treated with the lentivirus overexpression vector,miR-204-3p expression significantly increased,but the lentivirus knockout vector had no significant effect on miR-204-3p.In vitro experiments confirmed that miR-204-3p overexpression inhibited GC cell viability,promoted cell apoptosis,blocked the cell cycle,and inhibited colony formation ability.In vivo animal experiments confirmed that miR-204-3p overexpression inhibited subcutaneous tumorigenesis ability in BABL/c nude mice.Simultaneously,our results verified that miR-204-3p overexpression can inhibit GC cell proliferation by inhibiting protein expression levels of KRAS and p-ERK1/2 in the MAPK pathway,as well as inhibiting protein expression levels of p-RIP1 and p-MLK1 in the necroptosis pathway to promote the BCL-2/BAX/Caspase-3 apoptosis pathway.CONCLUSION MiR-204-3p overexpression inhibited GC cell proliferation by inhibiting the MAPK pathway and necroptosis pathway to promote apoptosis of GC cells.Thus,miR-204-3p may represent a new potential therapeutic target for GC.

Necroptosis plays a crucial role in the exacerbation of retinal injury after blunt ocular trauma

Retinal injury after blunt ocular trauma may directly affect prognosis and lead to vision loss.To investigate the pathological changes and molecular mechanisms involved in retinal injury after blunt ocular trauma,we established a weight drop injury model of blunt ocular trauma in male Beagle dogs.Hematoxylin-eosin staining,immunofluorescence staining,western blotting,and TUNEL assays were performed to investigate retinal injury within 14 days after blunt ocular trauma.Compared with the control group,the thicknesses of the inner and outer nuclear layers,as well as the number of retinal ganglion cells,gradually decreased within 14 days after injury.The number of bipolar cells in the inner nuclear layer began to decrease 1 day after injury,while the numbers of cholinergic and amacrine cells in the inner nuclear layer did not decrease until 7 days after injury.Moreover,retinal cell necroptosis increased with time after injury;it progressed from the ganglion cell layer to the outer nuclear layer.Visual electrophysiological findings indicated that visual impairment began on the first day after injury and worsened over time.Additionally,blunt ocular trauma induced nerve regeneration and Müller glial hyperplasia;it also resulted in the recruitment of microglia to the retina and polarization of those microglia to the M1 phenotype.These findings suggest that necroptosis plays an important role in exacerbating retinal injury after blunt ocular trauma via gliosis and neuroinflammation.Such a role has important implications for the development of therapeutic strategies.

Role of necroptosis in spinal cord injury and its therapeutic implications

Spinal cord injury(SCI),a complex neurological disorder,triggers a series of devastating neuropathological events such as ischemia,oxidative stress,inflammatory events,neuronal apoptosis,and motor dysfunction.However,the classical necrosome,which consists of receptor-interacting protein(RIP)1,RIP3,and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein,is believed to control a novel type of programmed cell death called necroptosis,through tumour necrosis factor-alpha/tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 signalling or other stimuli.Several studies reported that necroptosis plays an important role in neural cell damage,release of intracellular pro-inflammatory factors,lysosomal dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress.Recent research indicates that necroptosis is crucial to the pathophysiology of a number of neurological disorders and SCIs.In our review,we summarize the potential role of programmed cell death regulated by necroptosis in SCI based on its molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms.We also summarize the targets of several necroptosis pathways,which provide a more reliable reference for the treatment of SCI.

Polo-like kinase 1 suppresses lung adenocarcinoma immunity throughnecroptosis

Polo-like kinase 1(PLK1)plays a crucial role in cell mitosis and has been associated with necroptosis.However,the role of PLK1 and necroptosis in lung adenocarcinoma(LA)remains unclear.In this study,we analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-Tissue Expression databases to evaluate the prognostic value and mechanistic role of PLK1 in LA.PLK1 was found to be highly expressed in LA and was positively associated with advanced disease staging and poor survival outcomes.Functional enrichment analysis showed that PLK1 was involved in cell mitosis,neurotransmitter transmission,and drug metabolism.Further analysis using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis and ESTIMATE algorithm revealed a correlation between PLK1 expression and immune infiltration in LA.Silencing of PLK1 using miRNA transfection in LA cells reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis,as well as upregulating the expression of necroptosis-related proteins,such as RIPK1,RIPK3,and MLKL.Additionally,nude mouse transplantation tumor experiments demonstrated that silencing PLK1 reduced the growth capacity of LA cells.These findings suggest that PLK1 plays a critical role in LA progression by regulating necroptosis and immune infiltration,and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for immunotherapy.Furthermore,PLK1 expression can be used as a prognostic biomarker for LA patients.

Identification of necroptosis-related lncRNAs for prognosis prediction and screening of potential drugs in patients with colorectal cancer

BACKGROUND Tumor recurrence and metastasis lead to a poor prognosis in colorectal cancer(CRC).Necroptosis is closely related to the tumor microenvironment(TME)and affects tumor recurrence and metastasis.We aimed to stratify CRC patients according to necroptosis-related long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs),which can be used to not only evaluate prognosis and improve precision medicine in clinical practice but also screen potential immunotherapy drugs.AIM To stratify CRC patients according to necroptosis-related lncRNAs(NRLs),which can be used to not only evaluate prognosis and improve precision medicine in clinical practice but also screen potential immunotherapy drugs.METHODS LncRNA expression profiles were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas.NRLs were identified by coexpression analysis.Cox regression analysis identified a NRL signature.Then,the value of this signature was comprehensively and multidimensionally evaluated,and its reliability for CRC prognosis prediction was assessed with clinical CRC data and compared with that of six other lncRNA were also performed according to the risk score(RS)of the signature.RESULTS An 8-lncRNA signature significantly associated with overall survival(OS)was constructed,and its reliability was validated with clinical CRC data.Most of the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves(AUCs)values for 1-,3-and 5-year OS for this signature were higher than those for the other six lncRNA signatures.OS,disease-specific survival and the progression-free interval were all significantly poorer in the high-risk group.The RS of the signature showed good concordance with the predicted prognosis,with AUCs for 1-,3-and 5-year OS of 0.79,0.81 and 0.77,respectively.Additionally,the calibration plots for this signature combined with clinical factors showed that this combination could effectively improve the ability to predict OS.The RS was correlated with tumor stage,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis.Most of the enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology terms were tumor metastasis-related pathways in the high-risk group;these patients showed greater infiltration of immunosuppressive cells,such as cancer-associated fibroblasts,hematopoietic stem cells and M2 macrophages,but less infiltration of infiltrating antitumor effector immune cells,such as cluster of differentiation 8+T cells and regulatory T cells(Tregs).We explored additional potential immune checkpoint genes and potential immunotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic drugs with relatively low IC_(50) values.CONCLUSION We identified an NRL signature with strong fidelity that could stably predict prognosis and might be an indicator of the TME of CRC.Furthermore,additional potential immunotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic drugs were explored.

Necroptosis-一种新的程序性死亡的研究进展

Necroptosis is a newly found type of programmed cell death.It is elicited by death receptor ligands under the condition of apoptotic inhibition,and can be specifically blocked by necrostatin-1,a small-molecule compound.The pathway of necroptosis starts from the activation of death receptors by death receptor ligands,and is relayed in turn with aggregation and activation of RIP1 and RIP3,activation of energy metabolism-related enzymes including glycogen phosphorylase,glutamate-ammonia ligase as well as glutamate dehydrogenase 1.The process increases the substrates of tricarboxylic acid cycle,enhances the mitochondria respiratory chain,and induces excessive production of OFR.OFR destroys the cellular membranes,resulting in cease of ATP production and leakage of lysoenzymes.Consequently,cell necrosis happens. Necroptosis may be one of the main types of cell necrosis in diseases.Necroptosis and apoptosis convert to each other.Necroptosis may be important to cure of two kinds of diseases.One involves acute critical diseases such as acute ischemia,acute inflammation and acute organ failure,etc.The other includes malignant tumors and virus infections.Prevention from necroptosis is beneficial to the therapy for the former.On the contrary,promotion to necroptosis is beneficial to that for the latter.Collectively,the findings of necroptosis make modulation of necrosis possible.The research on necroptosis will certainly promote our understanding in cell death and disease mechanisms as well as clinical therapy.
