Abstract:Cell death frequently occurs in the pathogenesis of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the exact contribution of core cell death machinery to disease manifestations remains ill-defined. Here, we show via the direct comparison of mice genetically deficient in apoptotic caspase-8 in myeloid cells, or the essential necroptotic regulators, Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) and Mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), that RIPK3-caspase-8 signaling regulates macrophage infla… Show more
