iRhom2 is an essential cofactor for ADAM17, the metalloprotease that sheds both the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and TNF receptors (TNFRs) from the cell surface. In this issue of , Sundaram demonstrate a protective role for iRhom2 in promoting ADAM17-mediated shedding of TNFRs in hepatic stellate cells, which reduces TNFR signaling and liver fibrosis in response to injury.

Article Synopsis
- Lactiplantibacillus species, particularly strains MKMB01 and MKMB02, show promise as probiotics that help regulate the immune response against enteric pathogens like Salmonella enterica typhimurium.
- The study utilized various cell lines and techniques, including qRT-PCR and electron microscopy, to assess the probiotics' effects on immune responses and gut integrity.
- Results indicated that both strains enhanced gut health and reduced inflammation by maintaining tight junction proteins and downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, while also improving mitochondrial function impaired by Salmonella.

Ectodomain shedding, which is the proteolytic release of transmembrane proteins from the cell surface, is crucial for cell-to-cell communication and other biological processes. The metalloproteinase ADAM17 mediates ectodomain shedding of over 50 transmembrane proteins ranging from cytokines and growth factors, such as TNF and EGFR ligands, to signalling receptors and adhesion molecules. Yet, the ADAM17 sheddome is only partly defined and biological functions of the protease have not been fully characterized.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, continues to pose a significant global health challenge, with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) being a major cause of mortality. Excessive cytokine release (cytokine storm) has been causally related to COVID-19-associated ARDS. While TNF-α inhibitors have shown potential in reducing inflammation, their broad effects on TNF-α signaling, including both pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways, present significant challenges and side effects in clinical use.

Sepsis has a high mortality rate and leads to multi-organ failure, including lung injury. Inactive rhomboid protease family protein (iRhom2) has been identified as accountable for the release of TNF-α, a crucial mediator in the development of sepsis. This study aimed to evaluate the role of iRhom2 in sepsis and sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI).

A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) is a membrane-tethered protease that triggers multiple signaling pathways. It releases active forms of the primary inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and cancer-implicated epidermal growth factor (EGF) family growth factors. iRhom2, a rhomboid-like, membrane-embedded pseudoprotease, is an essential cofactor of ADAM17.
