Project description:As a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), elevated intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) death compromises the gut barrier, activating the inflammatory response and triggering more IEC death. However, the precise intracellular machinery that prevents IEC death and breaks this vicious feedback cycle remains largely unknown. Here, we report that Grb2-associated binder 1 (Gab1) expression is decreased in patients with IBD and inversely correlated with IBD severity. Gab1 deficiency in IECs accounted for the exacerbated colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate owing to sensitizing IECs to receptor-interaction protein kinase 3-mediated (RIPK3-mediated) necroptosis, which irreversibly disrupted the homeostasis of the epithelial barrier and promoted intestinal inflammation. Mechanistically, Gab1 negatively regulated necroptosis signaling through inhibiting the formation of RIPK1/RIPK3 complex in response to TNF-α. Importantly, administration of RIPK3 inhibitor revealed a curative effect in epithelial Gab1-deficient mice. Further analysis indicated mice with Gab1 deletion were prone to inflammation-associated colorectal tumorigenesis. Collectively, our study defines a protective role for Gab1 in colitis and colitis-driven colorectal cancer by negatively regulating RIPK3-dependent necroptosis, which may serve as an important target to address necroptosis and intestinal inflammation-related disease.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic cardiomyopathy is one common cardiovascular complication without effective treatments. Dihydromyricetin (DHY), a natural dihydroflavonol compound extracted from Ampelopsis grossedentata, possesses versatile pharmacologically important effects. In our current research, we planned to evaluate the impact and probable DHY mechanisms in high glucose (HG)-induced cardiomyocytes.MethodsPrimary cardiomyocytes were pretreated with different concentrations of DHY (0, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 μM) for various time (0, 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 h). They were then stimulated for 48 h with 5.5 mmol/L normal glucose (NG) and 33.3 mmol/L high glucose (HG). Cell viability, adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) levels, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release of cardiomyocytes were detected. JC-1 staining was employed to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential. MitoSOX staining and dihydroethidium (DHE) staining were applied to evaluate the oxidative stress levels. TDT mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to measure apoptotic levels. Expressions of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), phospholamban (PLB), optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), caspase 3, mixed kinase lineage domain like protein (MLKL), receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), and receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) were detected by immunofluorescence and/or Western blot.ResultsDHY improved cell viability, enhanced ATP level, and decreased LDH content in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes, suggesting DHY attenuating cell injury. DHY reduced number of TUNEL positive cells, inhibited RIPK3 and cleaved-caspase 3 expression, implying DHY alleviated necroptosis in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes. DHY diminished JC-1 monomers, DHE and MitoSOX fluorescence intensity as well as DRP1 expression but increased JC-1 aggregates intensity and OPA1 expression, indicating that DHY attenuated oxidative stress in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes. DHY also attenuated CaMKII activity by suppressed PLB phosphorylation and inhibited CaMKII oxidation in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes.ConclusionsHG-induced cardiomyocytes injury was alleviated wherein DHY attenuated necroptosis, repressed ROS production, and inhibited CaMKII oxidation, suggesting that DHY may serve as potential agent to prevent and treat diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Necroptosis is a programmed form of non-apoptotic cell death that requires the kinase activity of the receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3). Although in vitro data suggests that cancer cells lacking expression of RIPK3 are invasive, the physiological role of RIPK3 in a disease-relevant setting remains unknown. Here we provide evidence that RIPK3 has a critical role in suppressing colorectal cancer (CRC). RIPK3-deficient mice were highly susceptible to colitis-associated CRC and exhibited greater production of pro-inflammatory mediators and tumor promoting factors. Tumorigenesis in RIPK3-deficiency resulted from uncontrolled activation of NF-κB, STAT3, AKT and Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathways that enhanced the ability of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) to aberrantly proliferate in the face of the sustained inflammatory microenvironment and promote CRC. We found that RIPK3 expression is reduced in tumors from patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, and further confirmed that expression of RIPK3 is downregulated in human CRC and correlated with cancer progression. Thus, our results reveal that the necroptosis adaptor RIPK3 has key anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral functions in the intestine, and define RIPK3 as a novel colon tumor suppressor.

Project description:Although Western diet and dysbiosis are the most prominent environmental factors associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), the corresponding host factors and cellular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here we report that the TSC1/mTOR pathway in the gut epithelium represents a metabolic and innate immune checkpoint for intestinal dysfunction and inflammation. mTOR hyperactivation triggered by Western diet or Tsc1 ablation led to epithelium necroptosis, barrier disruption, and predisposition to dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis and inflammation-associated colon cancer. Mechanistically, our results uncovered a critical role for TSC1/mTOR in restraining the expression and activation of RIPK3 in the gut epithelium through TRIM11-mediated ubiquitination and autophagy-dependent degradation. Notably, microbiota depletion by antibiotics or gnotobiotics attenuated RIPK3 expression and activation, thereby alleviating epithelial necroptosis and colitis driven by mTOR hyperactivation. mTOR primarily impinged on RIPK3 to potentiate necroptosis induced by TNF and by microbial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and hyperactive mTOR and aberrant necroptosis were intertwined in human IBDs. Together, our data reveal a previously unsuspected link between the Western diet, microbiota, and necroptosis and identify the mTOR/RIPK3/necroptosis axis as a driving force for intestinal inflammation and cancer.

Project description:Salmonella is one of the most important worldwide zoonotic pathogens. After invading a host orally, the bacteria break through the intestinal epithelial barrier for further invasion. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier. Necroptosis is considered one of the virulence strategies utilized by invasive Salmonella. Our previous work has shown that SpvB, an effector encoded by S. Typhimurium virulence plasmid (pSLT), promotes bacterial translocation via the paracellular route. However, it is still unknown whether SpvB could promote bacterial invasion through disrupting the integrity of IECs. Here, we demonstrated that SpvB promoted necroptosis of IECs and contributed to the destruction of the intestinal barrier during Salmonella infection. We found that SpvB enhanced the protein level of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) through inhibiting K48-linked poly-ubiquitylation of RIPK3 and the degradation of the protein in an autophagy-dependent manner. The abundant accumulation of RIPK3 upregulated the phosphorylation of MLKL, which contributed to necroptosis. The damage to IECs ultimately led to the disruption of the intestinal barrier and aggravated infection. In vivo, SpvB promoted the pathogenesis of Salmonella, favoring intestinal injury and colonic necroptosis. Our findings reveal a novel function of Salmonella effector SpvB, which could facilitate salmonellosis by promoting necroptosis, and broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of bacterial invasion.

Project description:Cilia are sensory organelles that project from the surface of almost all cells. Nephronophthisis (NPH) and NPH-related ciliopathies are degenerative genetic diseases caused by mutation of cilia-associated genes. These kidney disorders are characterized by progressive loss of functional tubular epithelial cells which is associated with inflammation, progressive fibrosis, and cyst formation, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. However, disease mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that targeted deletion of cilia in renal epithelial cells enhanced susceptibility to necroptotic cell death under inflammatory conditions. Treatment of non-ciliated cells with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α and the SMAC mimetic birinapant resulted in Ripk1-dependent cell death, while viability of ciliated cells was almost not affected. Cell death could be enhanced and shifted toward necroptosis by the caspase inhibitor emricasan, which could be blocked by inhibitors of Ripk1 and Ripk3. Moreover, combined treatment of ciliated and non-ciliated cells with TNFα and cycloheximide induced a cell death response that could be partially rescued with emricasan in ciliated cells. In contrast, non-ciliated cells responded with pronounced cell death that was blocked by necroptosis inhibitors. Consistently, combined treatment with interferon-γ and emricasan induced cell death only in non-ciliated cells. Mechanistically, enhanced necroptosis induced by loss of cilia could be explained by induction of Ripk3 and increased abundance of autophagy components, including p62 and LC3 associated with the Ripk1/Ripk3 necrosome. Genetic ablation of cilia in renal tubular epithelial cells in mice resulted in TUNEL positivity and increased expression of Ripk3 in kidney tissue. Moreover, loss of Nphp1, the most frequent cause of NPH, further increased susceptibility to necroptosis in non-ciliated epithelial cells, suggesting that necroptosis might contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. Together, these data provide a link between cilia-related signaling and cell death responses and shed new light on the disease pathogenesis of NPH-related ciliopathies.

Project description:The microenvironment of injured mucosa has important effects on intestinal stem cell self-renewal and reconstruction of epithelial barrier function in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the precise status of the interactions between intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) injury, particularly intestinal crypt absence, and microenvironment in IBD is not completely understood. We identified miR-494-3p as important for protection of colonic stemness in intestinal inflammation colonic organoid culture. A novel cytokine-cytokine receptor, EDA-A2/EDA2R, could suppress colonic stemness and epithelial repair during IBD. During intestinal inflammation, high level of LP macrophage-derived EDA-A2 inhibited the nuclear β-catenin/c-Myc axis and organoid growth by targeting EDA2R in colonic crypt stem cells. We further demonstrated that the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 are capable of stimulating macrophages to release EDA-A2 during colitis. Secondly, we identified the cross-talk among IECs, colonic crypts, and lamina propria (LP) macrophages in miR-494-3p-mediated colitis. Furthermore, our study showed that miR-494-3p deficiency in IECs promoted LP macrophage recruitment and M1 activation in DSS-induced colitis mice. In addition, we identified miR-494-3p as critical to dampening IEC injury; specifically, miR-494-3p inhibited inflammation-induced IKKβ/NF-κB activation by targeting the IKKβ 3’UTR in IECs. As such, administration of adequate amounts of a miR-494-3p agomire attenuate colitis in vivo. Consistent with this inference, we showed that miR-494-3p levels were decreased in colonic crypts and serum in colitis mice, and loss of miR-494 potentiated the severity of colonic colitis. Our clinical data on the interactions between miR-494-3p levels in serum exosomes & colonic tissues and associated outcomes support the clinical relevance of miR-494-3p in IBD. The miR-494-3p agomir system, which we designed permits local delivery in vivo in this study, significantly ameliorated the severity of colonic colitis. Our findings no only uncover a miR-494-3p-mediated cross-talk mechanism by which inflamed colonic LP macrophages integrate signals from IECs to regulate colonic stemness and colonic epithelial repair/homeostasis. The miR-494-3p agomir may serve as a potential therapeutic approach in IBD.

Project description:Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) is a cold sensory receptor in primary sensory neurons that regulates various neuronal functions. Substance P (SP) is a pro-inflammatory neuropeptide secreted by the neurons, and it aggravates colitis. However, the regulatory role of TRPM8 in SP release is still unclear. Our study aimed to investigate TRPM8’s role in SP release from primary sensory neurons during colitis and clarify the effect of SP on colonic epithelium. We analyzed inflammatory bowel disease patients’ data from the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS, 2.5%)-induced colitis in mice, mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, ND7/23 cell line, and mouse or human colonic organoids were used for this experiment. TRPM8, TAC1 and WNT3A expressions were significantly correlated with the severity of ulcerative colitis in patients and DSS-induced colitis in mice. The TRPM8 agonist (menthol) and the SP receptor antagonist (Aprepitant) can attenuate colitis in mice, but the effects were not additive. Menthol promoted calcium ion influx in mouse DRG neurons. TRPM8 inhibited the combination of PKAca from the cAMP signaling pathway and GSK-3β from the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the role of β-catenin in promoting the release of SP from ND7/23 cell line. Long-term stimulation with SP inhibited proliferation and enhanced apoptosis in both mouse and human colonic organoids. Conclusively, TRPM8 inhibits SP release from primary sensory neurons by inhibiting the interaction between PKAca and GSK-3β, thereby inhibiting the role of SP in promoting colonic epithelial apoptosis and relieving colitis.

Project description:Necroptosis, an inflammatory form of cell death, is initiated by the activation of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), which depends on its interaction with RIPK1. Although catalytically inactive, the RIPK3 mutant D161N still stimulates RIPK1-dependent apoptosis and embryonic lethality in RIPK3 D161N homozygous mice. Whereas the absence of RIPK1 rescues RIPK3 D161N homozygous mice, we report that the absence of RIPK1 leads to embryonic lethality in RIPK3 D161N heterozygous mice. This suggested that the kinase domain of RIPK3 had a noncatalytic function that was enhanced by a conformation induced by the D161N mutation. We found that the RIPK3 kinase domain homodimerized through a surface that is structurally similar to that of the RAF family members. Mutation of residues at the dimer interface impaired dimerization and necroptosis. Kinase domain dimerization stimulated the activation of RIPK3 through cis-autophosphorylation. This noncatalytic, allosteric activity was enhanced by certain kinase-deficient mutants of RIPK3, including D161N. Furthermore, apoptosis induced by certain RIPK3 inhibitors was also dependent on the kinase dimerization interface. Our studies reveal that the RIPK3 kinase domain exhibits catalytically independent function that is important for both RIPK3-dependent necroptosis and apoptosis.
