Overview of Gene Research
RIPK3, or receptor-interacting protein kinase 3, is a serine/threonine-protein kinase. As a key part of necrosomes, it is essential for inflammatory factors (like TNFα) and infection-induced necroptosis, a form of programmed necrosis. RIPK3 is also involved in regulating apoptosis, cytokine/chemokine production, mitochondrial metabolism, autophagy, and cell proliferation by interacting with and phosphorylating critical signaling pathway regulators [1]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout mouse models, have been valuable in studying RIPK3.
In various disease models, RIPK3 has shown distinct roles. RIPK3-deficient mice are healthy, in contrast to RIPK1-deficient mice which die soon after birth. RIPK3 deficiency ameliorates various mouse disease models, suggesting necroptosis contributes to pathology [2]. In cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, extracellular RIPK3 acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern to exaggerate injury, as shown in in vivo mouse models [3]. In NAFLD, Ripk3-deficient mice had rescued mitochondrial biogenesis, bioenergetics, and function, along with changes in lipid droplet dynamics [4].
In conclusion, RIPK3 plays crucial roles in necroptosis and multiple cellular processes. Studies using KO mouse models have revealed its significance in diseases like cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury and NAFLD. Understanding RIPK3's functions through these models can potentially lead to new therapeutic strategies for related diseases.
