Under external stress, RIPK1 determines whether a cell undergoes RIPK-dependent apoptosis (RDA) or survives by activating NF-κB signaling. However, the role and mechanisms of RIPK1 on sunitinib sensitivity in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that the O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine modification (O-GlcNAcylation) of RIPK1 induces sunitinib resistance in RCC by inhibiting RDA. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) specifically interacts with RIPK1 through its tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR) domain and facilitates RIPK1 O-GlcNAcylation. The O-GlcNAcylation of RIPK1 at Ser<sup>331</sup>, Ser<sup>440</sup> and Ser<sup>669</sup> regulates RIPK1 ubiquitination and the formation of the RIPK1/FADD/Caspase-8 complex, thereby inhibiting sunitinib-induced RDA in RCC.
