DRP1 levels determine the apoptotic threshold during embryonic differentiation through a mitophagy-dependent mechanism.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-06-06)
The changes that drive differentiation facilitate the emergence of abnormal cells that need to be removed before they contribute to further development or the germline. Consequently, in mice in the lead-up to gastrulation, ...
RIPK1 and Caspase-8 Ensure Chromosome Stability Independently of Their Role in Cell Death and Inflammation.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-02-07)
Receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) 1 functions as a key mediator of tissue homeostasis via formation of Caspase-8 activating ripoptosome complexes, positively and negatively regulating apoptosis, necroptosis, and ...
The anticonvulsive Phenhydan® suppresses extrinsic cell death.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-09-01)
Different forms of regulated cell death-like apoptosis and necroptosis contribute to the pathophysiology of clinical conditions including ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, sepsis, and multiple sclerosis. ...
Identification and Characterization of Novel Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 2 Inhibitors Using Structural Similarity Analysis.
(AMER SOC PHARMACOLOGY EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS, 2018-05-01)
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIP2 or RICK, herein referred to as RIPK2) is linked to the pathogen pathway that activates nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB) and autophagic activation. ...
Ubiquitin-Mediated Regulation of RIPK1 Kinase Activity Independent of IKK and MK2.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-02-15)
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can drive inflammation, cell survival, and death. While ubiquitylation-, phosphorylation-, and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-dependent checkpoints suppress the cytotoxic potential of TNF, it remains ...
Mind Bomb Regulates Cell Death during TNF Signaling by Suppressing RIPK1's Cytotoxic Potential.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-04-10)
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is an inflammatory cytokine that can signal cell survival or cell death. The mechanisms that switch between these distinct outcomes remain poorly defined. Here, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ...
The Diversification of Cell Death and Immunity: Memento Mori.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-10-01)
Why do cells have so many ways to die? Why does "cellular suicide" exist at all? In the war against pathogens and rogue cells, organisms developed cellular suicide as a last resort. Fighting an evolutionary arms race, cell ...
The NMDA receptor regulates competition of epithelial cells in the Drosophila wing.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-06)
Cell competition is an emerging principle that eliminates suboptimal or potentially dangerous cells. For 'unfit' cells to be detected, their competitive status needs to be compared to the collective fitness of cells within ...
Cleavage of cFLIP restrains cell death during viral infection and tissue injury and favors tissue repair.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2023-07-28)
Cell death coordinates repair programs following pathogen attack and tissue injury. However, aberrant cell death can interfere with such programs and cause organ failure. Cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP) is ...
MK2 Phosphorylates RIPK1 to Prevent TNF-Induced Cell Death.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-06-01)
TNF is an inflammatory cytokine that upon binding to its receptor, TNFR1, can drive cytokine production, cell survival, or cell death. TNFR1 stimulation causes activation of NF-κB, p38α, and its downstream effector kinase ...
