The cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the effect of Tan IIA on the activity of cisplatin in chemoresistant HNSCC cells through a series of in vitro experiments...This study is the first to demonstrate the clinical value and role of FADD and RIPK1 in the treatment of HNSCC. This work establishes the proapoptotic effects of Tan IIA and its potential to enhance chemosensitivity in HNSCC by modulating the RIPK1-FADD-Caspase 8 complex.

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.

In addition, exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines IFNγ and TNFα can sensitize resistant GSCs to TAK1 inhibition. Our findings reveal dependency on TAK1 kinase activity as a novel vulnerability in immune-activated cancers, including mesenchymal GBMs that can be exploited therapeutically.

Genetic inactivation of necroptosis ameliorates the progeroid phenotypes in Zmpste24-/- mice. Our findings identify an unconventional nuclear necroptosis pathway resulting from ZMPSTE24 deficiency with pathogenic consequences in progeroid disorder and suggest RIPK1 as a feasible target for prelamin A-associated progeroid disorders.

Moreover, eupatolide was sufficient to upregulate the activation of RIPK1, facilitating the TNF-mediated dual modes of apoptosis and necroptosis. Thus, we propose a novel mechanism by which eupatolide activates the cytotoxic potential of RIPK1 at the TNFR1 level and provides a promising anti-cancer therapeutic approach to overcome TNF resistance.

Collectively, our results disclose an inflammatory injury mechanism of human bone marrow derived MSCs based on its morphological and functional alterations in combination with RNA-Seq identification, and a firstly found necroptotic manner of cell death in MSCs sheds new light on revealing the MSC deficits in some inflammatory or immune-mediated diseases with expectations to innovate some potential therapeutics. Our findings also suggest that cell therapy based on MSCs primed with IFN-γ and TNF-α should take this inflammatory injury effect into consideration.

We found that the compound GSK2606414 enhanced the sensitivity of the ABCG2 substrate to the chemotherapeutic drugs mitoxantrone and doxorubicin in ABCG2-overexpressing multidrug-resistant colorectal cancer cells by increasing their intracellular accumulation without affecting the protein expression of ABCG2. Molecular docking experiments predicted that GSK2606414 could stably bind in the drug-binding pocket of ABCG2. In conclusion, GSK2606414 can sensitize ABCG2-overexpressed multidrug-resistant colorectal cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs and can be used as a potential inhibitor of ABCG2.

Our results suggest that tag SNPs of RIPK1, increased plasma levels of RIPK1 protein and reduced RIPK1 mRNA expression in white blood cells, may influence the susceptibility to EOC. SNP rs6907943 may be a useful marker to distinguish EOC patients with high risk of death.

However, it was dispensable for other inflammasomes that form independent of the PANoptosome to drive pyroptosis. Overall, these findings define IRF1 as an upstream regulator of PANoptosis and suggest that modulating the activation of molecules in the IRF1 pathway could aid in the treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases associated with aberrant inflammatory cell death.

More importantly, inhibition of RIPK1 could reduce microglial inflammatory injury by triggering the M1 to M2 microglial phenotype, appreciably decreasing the levels of M1 marker CD86 and increasing the levels of M2 markers Arg1 or CD206 in PVL mice. Taken together, inhibition of RIPK1 markedly ameliorates the brain injury and long-term neurobehavioral abnormalities of PVL mice through the reduction of neural cell necroptosis and reversing neuroinflammation.

In addition, scavenging ROS with N-acetylcysteine or inhibiting the expression of PERK by using GSK2606414, rescued the SH-SY5Y cells from cadmium-induced pyroptosis. In conclusion, the results suggest that Cd induces pyroptotic death of SH-SY5Y cells through ER stress, and this may be the potential mechanism of Cd incurring neurological diseases.

RIPK1 activates NF-κB and regulates TNF release to enhance the proliferation and spread of CC cells while suppressing their apoptosis. Therefore, RIPK1 plays a key role in the formation and progression of CC and is a potential target for CC treatment.

Current standard therapy is surgery followed by radiotherapy, with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy...Our data reveal a novel role for PME-1 in oxidative stress-induced GBM cell death, regulating nuclear PP2A-B55α activity and MAPKAPK2-RIPK1 signaling. Patients with GBM tumors overexpressing PME-1, although having a worse prognosis due to increased cellular proliferation of the tumor, could actually be more responsive to oxidative stress-inducing therapies.

Blocking PERK by GSK2606414 (PERKi) or shRNA rescued the loss of function of DNAJC10 both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, deficiency of DNAJC10 increased sensitivity of AML cells to daunorubicin (DNR) and cytarabine (Ara-C). These data revealed that DNAJC10 functions as an oncogene in MLL-AF9-induced AML via regulating PERK branch of the UPR. DNAJC10 may be an ideal therapeutic target for eliminating LSCs and improving the effectiveness of DNR and Ara-C.

Our results suggest RIPK1 activation in microglia and astrocytes induces a detrimental neuroinflammatory program that contributes to the neurodegenerative environment in progressive MS.

More importantly, modifying RIPK1 kinase activity by a small molecule (such as necrostain-1, HOIPIN-1, etc.) alters the cell growth status of B-cell lymphoma, showing that RIPK1 exhibits anti-tumor activity in the context of B-cell lymphoma. Taken together, we consider that RIPK1 may be a potential target in the clinical application of B-cell lymphoma (including CLL, DLBCL, and FL) treatment.

The expression of RIPK1 was significantly upregulated in CSCC and was associated with the clinicopathological features of CSCC. RIPK1 might serve as a novel marker that can be used to predict the prognosis of CSCC patients and as a biological target for the treatment of CSCC.

eIF4E promotes EMT and MMP2 expression and activity, leading to VM formation. Our study provides a rationale for necroptosis-mediated VM and also providing a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.

In conclusion, RIPK1 and RIPK3 are independent positive predictors for overall survival and progression-free survival in cervical cancer patients. C2 ceramide can reduce cell viability and proliferation in cervical cancer cells by inducing most likely both apoptosis and necroptosis.

Western blotting results demonstrated that NFZ significantly increased the expression levels of P-PERK, ATF4 and CHOP, whereas GSK2606414 significantly reduced the NFZ-induced increase in these protein expression levels. In conclusion, NFZ may induce the apoptosis of H1299 NSCLC cells through the ROS/Ca/PERK-ATF4-CHOP signaling pathway.

Most importantly, we found that RNF31 could limit RIPK1 kinase activity and further prevent tumor cell death in a transcription-independent manner, suggesting a crucial role of RIPK1 kinase activity in tumorigenesis. Together, our results demonstrate an essential role of RNF31 and RIPK1 kinase activity in tumorigenesis and imply that RNF31 inhibition could be harnessed to enhance antitumor toxicity during tumor immunotherapy.

The ER stress inhibitors, such as salubrinal and GSK2606414, significantly suppressed HUVEC proliferation, indicating that ER stress promotes glioblastoma vascularization. Mito-TEMPO and MCC950 increased caspase-1p20 and IL-1β expression in THP-1 macrophages, indicating that mitochondrial ROS and autophagy could also interrupt THP-1-M1 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, mitochondrial ROS, ER stress, and the TAMs resulting from OE-KDELC2 glioblastoma cells play important roles in upregulating glioblastoma angiogenesis.

In addition, liver-specific overexpression of PPDPF activates NF-κB signaling and attenuates apoptosis and compensatory proliferation in mice, which significantly suppresses HCC development. This work identifies PPDPF as a regulator of NF-κB signaling and provides a potential therapeutic candidate for HCC.

In a syngeneic mouse tumor model, Myr-CS-RGD demonstrated superior anti-tumor activity compared to CS-piscidin and CS-RGD. Our findings suggest that CS-piscidin can suppress ovarian cancer via multiple cell death forms and that myristoylation modification is a promising strategy to enhance anti-cancer peptide performance.

In addition, the ethanolic extract would not provoke morphological traits in the cancer cells. These findings suggest that I. viscosa can be a source of new antiproliferative drugs or used in preparation plant-derived pharmaceuticals.

Further analysis indicates mice with Gab1 deletion are prone to inflammation associated colorectal tumorigenesis. Collectively, our study defines a protective role for Gab1 in colitis and colitis-driven colorectal cancer through negatively regulating RIPK3-dependent necroptosis, in which may serve as an important target to fine-tune necroptosis and intestinal inflammation-related disease.
