ZBP1-MLKL-dependent Necroptosis Triggers STING-mediated Cytosolic DNA Sensing and Promotes Antitumor Immunity of Radiation

ABSTRACT: Ionizing radiation promotes cytosolic DNA sensing and consequent antitumor immune responses. But how tumor cell-intrinsic cytosolic DNA sensing is initiated by radiation remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrated that STING-mediated type I interferon production in tumor cells after radiation relied on the engagement of MLKL-mediated necroptosis, which was elicited by the ZBP1-RIPK3 signaling axis. Physiologically, tumor cell-intrinsic ZBP1-MLKL cascade augmented antitumor immune responses after radiation largely by regulating STING signaling. Mechanistically, ZBP1-MLKL-dependent necroptosis maintained the enrichment of mitochondria DNA inside the cytosol of tumor cells after radiation in a cell-density dependent fashion, contributing to type I interferon responses. In contrast, ablation of caspase-8 unleashed ZBP1-MLKL cascade to gain enhanced cytosolic DNA sensing, and in turn potentiated therapeutic effects of radiation. Thus, our findings uncover an unanticipated mechanism that ZBP1-MLKL-dependent necroptosis drives cytosolic DNA sensing-mediated antitumor immunity after radiation, and provide new strategy to improve radiotherapy by inhibiting caspase-8 cascade.

Caspase-8 and FADD prevent spontaneous ZBP1 expression and necroptosis

Project description:Caspase-8 and FADD play key roles in the regulation of cell death by necroptosis. The absence of either protein results in early embryonic lethality due to the activation of the kinase RIPK3 and its phosphorylation of the necroptosis executioner, MLKL. We genetically engineered and characterized a mouse model to monitor MLKL phosphorylation in the absence of necroptosis in vivo. Ablation of caspase-8 or FADD resulted in the transcriptional upregulation in several tissues of ZBP1, a cytosolic nucleic acid sensor capable of activating RIPK3, and ZBP1 was required for spontaneous phosphorylation of MLKL. Our findings provide a novel mechanism by which the FADD-Caspase-8 complex prevents necroptosis.

STING induces ZBP1-mediated necroptosis independently of TNFR1 and FADD

Project description:Conditional deletion of Caspase-8 in epidermal keratinocytes (Casp8E-KO) causes necroptosis-driven lethal dermatitis1-7. Here, we discover that Casp8 loss leads to accumulation of cytosolic DNA responsible for the activation of a cyclic-GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon (IFN) gene (STING)-mediated transcriptional program. Genetic and biochemical evidence indicate that STING upregulates both Z-DNA binding protein-1 (ZBP1), and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). Combined Casp8-deficiency- and STING-activation-driven accumulation of Z-nuclei acids, activates ZBP1 and triggers formation of a ZBP1–RIPK1–RIPK3 complex independently of FADD-RIPK1-RIPK3 complex enabling necroptosis execution. Genetically, we reveal a functional overlap between STING and ZBP1 as drivers of lethal dermatitis independently of TNFR1, uncovering a novel aetiology of necroptotic inflammation. Since gain-of-function mutations in human STING cause STING-Associated Vasculopathy with onset in Infancy (SAVI), we assessed the role of STING-induced necroptosis in SAVI’s aetiology. Chronic activation of STING in patients orchestrates a necroptotic transcriptional program which is confirmed in the N153S-SAVI preclinical mouse model where immune cell–driven pathology and lethality are remarkably rescued by RIPK3 co-deletion. These findings establish STING-driven ZBP1-mediated necroptosis as a central pathogenic mechanism in both Casp8-deficient inflammation and SAVI and suggest that targeting the ZBP1-RIPK3-MLKL axis holds therapeutic potential for interferonopathies characterised by excessive necroptosis.

ZBP1 and TRIF trigger lethal necroptosis in mice lacking caspase-8 and TNFR1

Project description:Necroptosis is a lytic form of cell death that is mediated by the kinase RIPK3 and the pseudokinase MLKL when caspase-8 is inhibited downstream of death receptors, toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), TLR4, and the intracellular Z-form nucleic acid sensor ZBP1. Oligomerization and activation of RIPK3 is driven by interactions with the kinase RIPK1, the TLR adaptor TRIF, or ZBP1. In this study, we use immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) assays to generate a tissue atlas characterizing RIPK1, RIPK3, Mlkl, and ZBP1 expression in mouse tissues. RIPK1, RIPK3, and Mlkl were co-expressed in most immune cell populations, endothelial cells, and many mucosal epithelia. ZBP1 was expressed in many immune populations, but had more variable expression in epithelia compared to RIPK1, RIPK3, and Mlkl. Intriguingly, expression of ZBP1 was elevated in Casp8-/- Tnfr1-/- embryos prior to their succumbing to aberrant necroptosis around embryonic day 15. ZBP1 contributed to this embryonic lethality because rare Casp8-/- Tnfr1-/- Zbp1-/- mice survived until after birth. Necroptosis mediated by TRIF contributed to the demise of Casp8-/- Tnfr1-/- Zbp1-/- pups in the perinatal period. Of note, Casp8-/- Tnfr1-/- Trif-/- Zbp1-/- mice exhibited autoinflammation and morbidity, typically within 5-7 weeks of being born, which is not seen in Casp8-/- Ripk1-/- Trif-/- Zbp1-/-, Casp8-/- Ripk3-/-, or Casp8-/- Mlkl-/- mice. Therefore, after birth, loss of caspase-8 probably unleashes RIPK1-dependent necroptosis driven by death receptors other than TNFR1.

ZBP1 is a cytosolic RNA virus sensor driving activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, pyroptosis, necroptosis and apoptosis

Project description:The innate immune system recognizes nucleic acids as a signature of microbial infection and initiates host-protective responses, including the production of type I IFN and proinflammatory cytokines. Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1, also known as DLM-1 or DAI) was previously identified as a dsDNA binding protein, triggering DNA-mediated activation of innate immune responses. However, mice or cells lacking ZBP1 produce normal levels of type I IFN in response to dsDNA. Therefore, the classification of ZBP1 as a true DNA sensor remains to be resolved. Here, we report that the single stranded RNA virus, influenza A virus (IAV) is a trigger of the cytosolic sensor ZBP1. Sensing of IAV infection by ZBP1 engages a novel NLRP3 inflammasome pathway that is not defined by the conventions of the canonical and non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Surprisingly, IAV-induced cell death was not prevented by the absence of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Instead, we identified parallel contributions from pyroptosis, necroptosis and apoptosis in the execution of ZBP1-dependent cell death, mediated by the kinase RIPK3. Overall, the ability of ZBP1 to sense IAV infection signifies a point of divergence for IAV-induced programmed cell death pathways and inflammasome activation. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in influenza-infected bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) isolated from Ifnar1-/- and wild-type mice.

Proteomic analysis of TRAIL-induced endogenous RIPK3-dependent necrosome complex

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a well-known inducer of apoptosis via formation of the primary death-inducing signaling complex (TRAIL-DISC) at the level of membrane death receptors (DR4 and DR5) which recruit successively FADD and caspase-8. TRAIL can also induce necroptosis when caspases are inhibited. Necroptosis is a regulated cell death dependent on the formation of a cytosolic necrosome complex which includes RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL proteins. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in TRAIL-induced necroptosis might provide new insights into the TRAIL death signaling pathway. Here, we report the analysis by mass spectrometry of endogenous RIPK3-dependent necrosome complex constituents upon necroptosis induced by TRAIL/z-VAD/Birinapant (TzB) in HT29 cells. Besides characterization of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL, FADD, caspase-8, we find TRIM21 as a new constituent of the necrosome complex. Moreover RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL, P-MLKL, FADD, caspase-8 and TRIM21 are also found associated to the native TRAIL-DISC upon TzB stimulation showing initiation of the necrotic pathway at the level of TRAIL death receptors in HT29 cells. Finally, TRIM21 may positively modulate necroptosis induction by downregulating NF-kB activation.

Single cell RNA-seq of intestine from E18.5 Mlkl -/- and Casp8 C362A/C362A Mlkl -/- embryos

Project description:Caspase-8 is a protease with both pro-death and pro-survival functions: it is required for apoptosis induced by death receptors such as TNFR1 (tumour necrosis factor receptor 1), and it has a critical role in suppressing necroptosis mediated by the kinase RIPK3 (receptor interacting protein kinase 3) and the pseudokinase MLKL (mixed lineage kinase-like). Mice lacking caspase-8 display MLKL-dependent embryonic lethality, as do mice expressing catalytically inactive caspase-8 mutant C362A. However, Casp8C362A/C362A Mlkl-/- mice die in the perinatal period, whereas Casp8-/- Mlkl-/- mice are viable, indicating that inactive caspase-8 also has a pro-death scaffolding function. Here we show that caspase-8 C362A triggers ASC speck formation and caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in MLKL-deficient intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) around embryonic day 18. Pyroptosis contributed to the perinatal lethal phenotype because a number of Casp8 C362A/C362A Mlkl-/- Casp1-/- mice survived beyond weaning. Transfection studies suggested inactive caspase-8 adopts a distinct conformation to wild-type caspase-8, enabling it to engage the caspase-1 adaptor ASC. Wild-type caspase-8 was found in the Triton X-100 soluble fraction, whereas wild-type caspase-8 inhibited with the pan-caspase inhibitor emricasan, or inactive caspase-8 mutant C362A, were detected in the insoluble fraction. Moreover, inhibited or inactive caspase-8 shifted ASC into the insoluble fraction. Perinatal lethality was recapitulated when expression of caspase-8 C362A was restricted to IECs, but intriguingly, only in the absence of MLKL. Hence, unanticipated plasticity in death pathways is revealed such that IECs can undergo caspase-1-dependent death when caspase-8-dependent apoptosis and MLKL-dependent necroptosis are inhibited.

ADAR1 masks the cancer immunotherapeutic promise of ZBP1-driven necroptosis

Project description:A disappointingly small proportion (10-30%) of patients with cancer show lasting responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-based monotherapies. The RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 is an emerging determinant of resistance to ICB therapy, and prevents ICB responsiveness by repressing immunogenic double-stranded (ds)RNAs, such as those arising from the dysregulated expression of endogenous retroelements (EREs). These dsRNAs trigger an interferon (IFN)-dependent antitumor response by activating the A-form dsRNA (A-RNA) sensing proteins MDA-5, PKR, and OAS1. Here, we show that ADAR1 also prevents accrual of endogenous Z-form dsRNA elements (Z-RNAs) which were enriched in the 3’UTRs of IFN-stimulated mRNAs. Depleting ADAR1 resulted in Z-RNA accumulation and activation of the Z-RNA sensor ZBP1, culminating in RIPK3-mediated necroptosis. As no clinically viable ADAR1 inhibitors currently exist, we searched for a compound that can override the requirement for ADAR1 inhibition and directly activate ZBP1. We identified a small molecule, the curaxin CBL0137, which potently activates ZBP1 by triggering Z-DNA formation in cells. CBL0137 induced ZBP1-dependent necroptosis in cancer-associated fibroblasts and strongly reversed ICB unresponsiveness in mouse models of melanoma. Collectively, these results demonstrate that ADAR1 represses endogenous Z-RNAs and identifies ZBP1-mediated necroptosis as a new determinant of tumor immunogenicity masked by ADAR1. Therapeutic activation of ZBP1-induced necroptosis provides a readily-translatable avenue for rekindling immune responsiveness of ICB-resistant human cancers.
