5-iodotubercidin sensitizes cells to RIPK1-dependent necroptosis by interfering with NFκB signaling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK) −1 and −3 are master regulators of cell fate decisions in response to diverse stimuli and are subjected to multiple checkpoint controls. Earlier studies have established the presence of distinct IKK1/2 and p38/MK2-dependent checkpoints which suppress RIPK1 activation by directly phosphorylating it at different residues. In the present study, we investigated TNF-induced death in MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2)-deficient cells and show that MK2-deficiency or inactivation predominantly results in necroptotic cell death, even in the absence of caspase inhibition. While MK2-deficient cells can be rescued from necroptosis by RIPK1 inhibitors, RIPK3 inhibition seems to revert the process triggering apoptosis. To understand the mechanism of this necroptosis switch, we screened a 149-compound kinase inhibitor library for compounds which preferentially sensitize MK2-deficient MEFs to TNF-induced cell death. The most potent inhibitor identified was 5-Iodotubericidin, an adenosine analogue acting as adenosine kinase and protein kinase inhibitor. 5-ITu also potentiated LPS-induced necroptosis when combined with MK2 inhibition in RAW264.7 macrophages. Further mechanistic studies revealed that 5-Iodotubericidin induces RIPK1-dependent necroptosis in the absence of MK2 activity by suppressing IKK signaling. The identification of this role for the multitarget kinase inhibitor 5-ITu in TNF-, LPS- and chemotherapeutics-induced necroptosis will have potential implications in RIPK1-targeted therapies.

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.
