PLEKHO2 inhibits TNFα-induced cell death by suppressing RIPK1 activation.

ABSTRACT: Receptor interaction protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) plays a diverse role in tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) signalings. The ubiquitination of RIPK1 is essential for NF-κB activation, whereas its kinase activity promotes apoptosis and necroptosis. However, the mechanisms underlying have not been fully illuminated. Here we report that PH domain-containing family O member 2 (PLEKHO2) inhibits RIPK1-dependent cell death and is necessary for NF-κB activation in response to TNFα. Cells of PLKEHO2 deficiency are more susceptible to TNF-α induced apoptosis and necroptosis with increased RIPK1 activation, which is consistent with the observation that the susceptibility of PLEKHO2-/- cells is effectively prevented by treatment of RIPK1 kinase inhibitor. Moreover, PLEKHO2 deficient cells exhibit compromised
