Article Abstract
Necroptosis is a cellular mechanism that mediates necrotic cell death. The receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIP1) is an essential upstream signaling molecule in tumor-necrosis-factor-α-induced necroptosis. Necrostatins, a series of small-molecule inhibitors, suppress necroptosis by specifically inhibiting RIP1 kinase activity. Both RIP1 structure and the mechanisms by which necrostatins inhibit RIP1 remain unknown. Here, we report the crystal structures of the RIP1 kinase domain individually bound to necrostatin-1 analog, necrostatin-3 analog, and necrostatin-4. Necrostatin, caged in a hydrophobic pocket between the N- and C-lobes of the kinase domain, stabilizes RIP1 in an inactive conformation through interactions with highly conserved amino acids in the activation loop and the surrounding structural elements. Structural comparison of RIP1 with the inhibitor-bound oncogenic kinase B-RAF reveals partially overlapping binding sites for necrostatin and for the anticancer compound PLX4032. Our study provides a structural basis for RIP1 inhibition by necrostatins and offers insights into potential structure-based drug design.

Proliferative retinopathy is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in humans; however, the molecular mechanisms behind the immune cell-mediated retinal angiogenesis remain poorly elucidated. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, we identified an enrichment of sorting nexin (SNX)-related pathways, with SNX3, a member of the SNX family that is involved in endosomal sorting and trafficking, being significantly upregulated in the myeloid cell subpopulations of OIR retinas. Immunostaining showed that SNX3 expression is markedly increased in the retinal microglia/macrophages of mice with OIR, which is mainly located within and around the neovascular tufts.

Background: In intensive aquaculture systems, the frequent incidence of enteritis reduces production efficiency and results in significant economic losses. Protein feeds account for 40%-60% of aquafeed expenses, and with the growth of intensive aquaculture, demand for fishmeal as a key protein source outstrips supply, driving up prices. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of reducing dietary protein levels by 3% and adding enzymatic cottonseed protein (ECP) in juvenile yellow catfish with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced enteritis.

Extrinsic apoptosis is initiated by signaling from death receptors, leading to the assembly of RIPK1, FADD, and caspase-8 complex. Subsequently, caspase-8 forms a filamentous structure through the oligomerization of its tandem death effector domain (tDED), resulting in caspase activation and cell death. Although the DED of FADD (DED) is homologous to the tDEDs of caspase-8 (tDED) and both oligomerize to function, the functional form of DED oligomer in extrinsic apoptosis remains unclear.

Intestinal homeostasis depends critically on the dynamic interplay between gut microbiota, epithelial barriers, and host immunity, dysregulation of this triad can initiate inflammatory cascades. Ferulic acid and its derivative N-Feruloylserotonin demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory activity, though their intestinal protective effects and mechanisms require further elucidation. Therefore, this study examined how these compounds mitigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute inflammation through integrated modulation of the gut microbiome, serum metabolome, and transcriptional networks.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are rare malignancies of the pancreas, but their incidence is steadily increasing. Standard therapy with antiangiogenic inhibitors, including sunitinib, has shown clinical benefit for advanced PanNETs; however, its long-term effectiveness is limited due to the development of resistance. In this study, we demonstrate that targeting the CD93-IGFBP7 axis enhances the efficacy of sunitinib by normalizing tumor vasculature in PanNETs.
