Nuclear translocation of MLKL enhances necroptosis by a RIP1/RIP3-independent mechanism in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts

Accumulating evidence suggests that necroptosis of cardiomyocytes contributes to cardiovascular diseases. Lethal disruption of the plasma membrane in necroptosis is induced by oligomers of mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) that is translocated to the membrane from the cytosol. However, the rol...

description Accumulating evidence suggests that necroptosis of cardiomyocytes contributes to cardiovascular diseases. Lethal disruption of the plasma membrane in necroptosis is induced by oligomers of mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) that is translocated to the membrane from the cytosol. However, the role played by cytoplasmic-nuclear shuttling of MLKL is unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that translocation of MLKL to the nucleus promotes the necroptosis of cardiomyocytes. Activation of the canonical necroptotic signaling pathway by a combination of TNF-α and zVAD (TNF/zVAD) increased nuclear MLKL levels in a RIP1-activity-dependent manner in H9c2 cells, a rat cardiomyoblast cell line. By use of site-directed mutagenesis, we found a nuclear export signal sequence in MLKL and prepared its mutant (MLKL-L280/283/284A), though a search for a nuclear import signal was unsuccessful. MLKL-L280/283/284A localized to both the cytosol and the nucleus. Expression of MLKL-L280/283/284A induced necroptotic cell death, which was attenuated by GppNHp, an inhibitor of Ran-mediated nuclear import, but not by inhibition of RIP1 activity or knockdown of RIP3 expression. GppNHp partly suppressed H9c2 cell death induced by TNF/zVAD treatment. These results suggest that MLKL that is translocated to the nucleus via RIP1-mediated necroptotic signaling enhances the necroptosis of cardiomyocytes through a RIP1-/RIP3-independent mechanism.
