“…The relevance of XIAP for human health is exemplified by mutations that are associated with several inflammatory diseases [14,15]. Initially, XIAP mutations were found in a relatively rare XLP-2 syndrome [12], but XIAP mutations are now correlated with a worse prognosis for GVHD patients and very early onset IBD [16][17][18][19][20][21]. These findings have prompted us to investigate novel treatment options for patients with deleterious XIAP mutations.…”

“…For patients needing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), XIAP deficiency can promote graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) driven by donor T cell activation [ 17 ]. Indeed, XIAP deficiency is regarded as a high risk for allogeneic HCT and leads to suboptimal outcomes [ 16 , 18 ]. Loss-of-function XIAP mutations have also been reported in male patients with early-onset Crohn’s disease [ 19 , 20 ].…”
XIAP is a caspase-inhibitory protein that blocks several cell death pathways, and mediates proper activation of inflammatory NOD2-RIP2 signaling. XIAP deficiency in patients with inflammatory diseases such as Crohn’s disease, or those needing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, is associated with a worse prognosis. In this study, we show that XIAP absence sensitizes cells and mice to LPS- and TNF-mediated cell death without affecting LPS- or TNF-induced NF-κB and MAPK signaling. In XIAP deficient mice, RIP1 inhibition effectively blocks TNF-stimulated cell death, hypothermia, lethality, cytokine/chemokine release, intestinal tissue damage and granulocyte migration. By contrast, inhibition of the related kinase RIP2 does not affect TNF-stimulated events, suggesting a lack of involvement for the RIP2-NOD2 signaling pathway. Overall, our data indicate that in XIAP’s absence RIP1 is a critical component of TNF-mediated inflammation, suggesting that RIP1 inhibition could be an attractive option for patients with XIAP deficiency.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
