Article Abstract
Ventilatory impairment during aging has been linked to carotid body (CB) dysfunction. Anatomical/morphological studies evidenced CB degeneration and reductions in the number of CB chemoreceptor cells during aging. The mechanism(s) related to CB degeneration in aging remains elusive. Programmed cell death encompasses both apoptosis and necroptosis. Interestingly, necroptosis can be driven by molecular pathways related to low-grade inflammation, one hallmark of the aging process. Accordingly, we hypothesized that necrotic cell death dependent on receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) may contribute, at least in part, to impair CB function during aging. Adult (3 months) and aged (24 months) wild type (WT) and RIPK3 mice were used to study chemoreflex function. Aging results in significant reductions in both the hypoxic (HVR) and hypercapnic ventilatory responses (HCVR). Adult RIPK3 mice showed normal HVR and HCVR compared to adult WT mice. Remarkable, aged RIPK3 mice displayed no reductions in HVR nor in HCVR. Indeed, chemoreflex responses obtained in aged RIPK3 KO mice were undistinguishable from the ones obtained in adult WT mice. Lastly, we found high prevalence of breathing disorders during aging and this was absent in aged RIPK3 mice. Together our results support a role for RIPK3-mediated necroptosis in CB dysfunction during aging.

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: Leptin is a proinflammatory adipokine asthmatic biomarker and macrophage necroptosis are previously reported to be involved in asthmatic airway inflammation. However, whether leptin worsen airway inflammation via mediating macrophage necroptosis remains elusive. We investigated the role of the leptin on regulating macrophage necroptosis in the development of asthma.

Activation of the cGAS-STING pathway plays an important role in antitumor immunity through maturation of tumor-infiltrating DCs. DCs engulf extracellular DNA released by dying cancer cells, supporting activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and concomitant DC maturation. Extracellular DNA in the tumor microenvironment is primarily derived from cells undergoing uncontrolled necrosis or programmed inflammatory death, such as necroptosis, which can be induced when apoptosis pathways are inhibited.
