Eupatolide, isolated from Liriodendron tulipifera, sensitizes TNF-mediated dual modes of apoptosis and necroptosis by disrupting RIPK1 ubiquitination.

ABSTRACT: Ubiquitination of RIPK1 plays an essential role in the recruitment of the IKK complex, an upstream component of pro-survival NF-κB. It also limits TNF-induced programmed cell death by inhibiting the spatial transition from TNFR1-associated complex-I to RIPK1-dependent death-inducing complex-II or necrosome. Thus, the targeted disruption of RIPK1 ubiquitination, which induces RIPK1-dependent cell death, has proven to be a useful strategy for improving the therapeutic efficacy of TNF. In this study, we found that eupatolide, isolated from Liriodendron tulipifera, is a potent activator of the cytotoxic potential of RIPK1 by disrupting the ubiquitination of RIPK1 upon TNFR1 ligation. Analysis of events upstream of NF-κB signaling revealed that eupatolide inhibited IKKβ-mediated NF-κB ac
