Abstract 23: Disruption of TRAF2-TAK1-NF-κB Signaling Axis Triggers K-48 Linked Poly-Ubiquitylation of RIP1 and Necrotic Cell Death in Doxorubicin Cardiotoxicity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The anthracycline doxorubicin (Dox) is a highly effective anti-tumour agent, however, its use is limited by its severe cardiotoxic effects that manifests as heart failure. The decline in cardiac performance induced by doxorubicin remains poorly defined. A critical survival role for the canonical IKKβ -mTOR-NF-κB signaling pathway has been demonstrated in ventricular myocytes. In this report, we demonstrate that, Dox impairs IKKβ-mTOR- NF-κB signaling in ventricular myocytes accompanied by mitochondrial perturbations including mPTP, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS production. IKKβ- NF-κB signaling involves TRAF 2 mediated ligation of K63- ubiquitin chains to RIP1 (Receptor Interacting Protein 1) which serves as scaffold for recruitment of ubiquitylated Tak1 complexes and phosphorylation-dependent activation of IKKβ -NF-kB signaling. Interestingly, ventricular myocytes treated with dox demonstrated reduction in expression levels of TRAF2 and TAK1, in vivo and in vitro. This was accompanied by a decline in K63- and concomitant increase in K-48 linked polyubiquitination on RIP1, impaired NF-kB activation and necrotic cell death of cardiac myocytes. Interestingly, inhibiting the kinase activity of RIP1 with Necrostatin-1, (Nec1) suppressed necrotic cell injury induced by dox but not NF-kB activation. Concordant with these findings was a marked increase in necrotic cell death in cardiac myocytes defective for IKKB signaling or MEF cells deficient for p65 treated with dox. Notably, mitochondrial perturbations, including PT-pore opening , ROS production, calcium uptake, LDH, Tn(T) and HMGB-1 release and necrotic cell injury induced by dox were completely abrogated by restoring NF-kB signaling in cardiac myocytes or Nec-1. Herein, we provide novel evidence that K-48 linked poly ubiquitylation of RIP1 provides a functional switch that impairs NF-kB activation and signals necrosis in cells treated with dox. Interventions that modulate NF-kB activity may prove beneficial in mitigating the cardiotoxic effects of dox.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
