Abstract

Necroptosis is an essential pathophysiological process in cerebral ischemia-related diseases. Therefore, targeting Necroptosis may prevent cell death and provide a much-needed therapy. Ansiomycin is an inhibitor of protein synthesis which can also activate c-Jun N-terminal kinases. The present study demonstrated that anisomycin attenuated Necroptosis by upregulating CHIP (carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein) leading to the reduced levels of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) proteins in two in vitro models of cerebral ischemia. Further exploration in this research revealed that losing neither the co-chaperone nor the ubiquitin E3 Ligase function of CHIP could abolish its ability to reduce Necroptosis. Collectively, this study identifies a novel means of preventing Necroptosis in two in vitro models of cerebral ischemia injury through activating the expression of CHIP, and it may provide a potential target for the further study of the disease.
