LID - 10.3390/cells10092397 [doi] LID - 2397 AB - Receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)-mediated smooth muscle cell (SMC) necroptosis has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, the signaling steps downstream from RIPK3 during SMC necroptosis remain unknown. In this study, the roles of mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in SMC necroptosis were investigated. We found that both MLKL and CaMKII were phosphorylated in SMCs in a murine CaCl(2)-driven model of AAA and that Ripk3 deficiency reduced the phosphorylation of MLKL and CaMKII. In vitro, mouse aortic SMCs were treated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) plus Z-VAD-FMK (zVAD) to induce necroptosis. Our data showed that both MLKL and CaMKII were phosphorylated after TNFalpha plus zVAD treatment in a time-dependent manner. SiRNA silencing of Mlkl-diminished cell death and administration of the CaMKII inhibitor myristoylated autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (Myr-AIP) or siRNAs against Camk2d partially inhibited necroptosis. Moreover, knocking down Mlkl decreased CaMKII phosphorylation, but silencing Camk2d did not affect phosphorylation, oligomerization, or trafficking of MLKL. Together, our results indicate that both MLKL and CaMKII are involved in RIPK3-mediated SMC necroptosis, and that MLKL is likely upstream of CaMKII in this process.
