Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), which regulates cell death and survival pathways, is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of several autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases, having important roles in inflammation, apoptosis, and necroptosis. In this review, we describe recent insights that help elucidate the molecular mechanisms of signaling pathways reliant on RIPK1, focusing on its scaffolding function and kinase activity. We emphasize the cell type-specific effects of RIPK1, characterizing its role in necroptosis, immune cell regulation, and tissue-specific responses. Lastly, we present the relevance of RIPK1 in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, while highlighting the clinical landscape for RIPK1-targeting therapies. All together, this review aims to present recent findings pertaining to RIPK1 signaling and discuss its potential as a therapeutic target in diseases.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Immunology is a leading journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across basic, translational and clinical immunology. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.
Frontiers in Immunology is the official Journal of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). Encompassing the entire field of Immunology, this journal welcomes papers that investigate basic mechanisms of immune system development and function, with a particular emphasis given to the description of the clinical and immunological phenotype of human immune disorders, and on the definition of their molecular basis.
