Receptor-interacting protein 3 (Ripk3) plays a crucial part in acute lung injury (ALI) by regulating inflammation-induced endothelial damage in the lung tissue. The precise mechanisms through which Ripk3 contributes to the endothelial injury in ALI still remain uncertain. In the current research, we employed Ripk3-deficient (Ripk3) mice to examine the role of Ripk3 in ALI progression, focusing on its effects on endothelial cells (ECs), mitochondrial damage and necroptosis.
