The present study established a necroptosis model in vitro and investigated the role of HMGB1 in cell necroptosis. A combination of tumor necrosis factor-α and z-VAD-fmk was used to induce necroptosis in L929 cells with necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 applied as an intervention. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to measure cell necroptosis. Western blotting assay was applied to detect the expression of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) and HMGB1. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay was used to confirm the interaction between HMGB1 and RIPK3. Our study demonstrated that HMGB1 migrated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm at the onset of necroptosis and was subsequently released passively to the extracellular matrix. Further experiments determined that the binding of HMGB1 with RIPK3 in the cytoplasm was loose during necroptosis. By contrast, when necroptosis was inhibited, the interaction in the cytoplasm was tight suggesting that this association between HMGB1 and RIPK3 might affect its occurrence. In conclusion, the transfer of HMGB1 from nucleus to cytoplasm, and its interaction with RIPK3 might be potentially involved in necroptosis.

Inhibition of RIPK1-driven necroptosis ameliorates inflammatory hyperalgesia caused by lipopolysaccharide: involvement of TLR-, NLRP3-, and caspase-11-mediated signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that blocking the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome can help reduce inflammatory pain linked to conditions like demyelination in the central nervous system.
- This study tests necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s), a specific RIPK1 inhibitor, on LPS-induced inflammatory pain in male mice, assessing pain sensitivity through hot plate tests and examining related protein changes.
- Results show that Nec-1s not only prevents LPS-induced pain relief but also reverses the activation of key proteins and signals involved in inflammation and demyelination, suggesting that RIPK1 inhibitors could be a promising treatment for managing inflammatory pain.
The epigenetic mechanisms driving persistent gastrointestinal mucosal dysfunction in HIV/SIV infection is an understudied topic. Using reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing, we identified HIV/SIV infection in combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART)-naive rhesus macaques (RMs) to induce marked hypomethylation throughout promoter-associated CpG islands (paCGIs) in genes related to inflammatory response ( ), cellular adhesion and proliferation in colonic epithelial cells (CEs). Moreover, low-dose delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) administration reduced NLRP6 protein expression in CE by hypermethylating the paCGI and blocked polyI:C induced NLRP6 upregulation in vitro.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to uncover unique protein markers associated with ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by analyzing corneal samples from GVHD model mice and control mice four weeks post-bone marrow transplantation.
- - Researchers conducted proteomic analysis and identified key protein pathways upregulated in GVHD, including necroptosis, MAPK, and neutrophil extracellular trap pathways, along with newly upregulated molecules involved in these processes.
- - The findings could provide insights into the mechanisms behind ocular GVHD and pave the way for developing new therapies targeting corneal issues in affected patients.

High mobility group box proterin-1 (HMGB-1) is a multifunctional protein that can be released by various programmed cell deaths (PCDs), such as necroptosis and ferroptosis. PCDs play a critical role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the role of HMGB-1 in the process of SLE remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of the Traditional Chinese medicine formula NRICM101 on epilepsy, specifically its ability to reduce seizures induced by kainic acid (KA) in rats.
- NRICM101 significantly decreases seizure behavior, neuronal loss, and glutamate levels while enhancing protective proteins in the brain, and its effects are comparable to the established antiseizure drug carbamazepine.
- The formula also shows promising neuroprotective effects by mitigating inflammation and cell death in the brain without causing harm to the liver or kidneys, suggesting its potential for managing epilepsy.
