Abstract
Epithelial cell death in intestinal inflammatory disease Two groups identify the regulation of death-receptor-induced necroptosis as an epithelial intrinsic mechanism that is important for the maintenance of immune homeostasis and the prevention of intestinal inflammation in mice. Welz et al. describe an unexpected physiological function for FADD (Fas-associated protein with death domain), an adaptor protein required for death-receptor-induced apoptosis. Mice with intestinal epithelial specific knockout of FADD develop severe colon inflammation due to increased death of FADD-deficient colonic epithelial cells. Günther et al. report a novel and unexpected function of caspase-8 in maintaining immune homeostasis in the gut. Caspase-8 expression by gut epithelial cells is shown to protect mice from TNF-mediated Paneth cell death and intestinal inflammation. Increased expression of the protein RIP3 was associated with the TNF-induced pathology, and elevated RIP3 expression was also found in intestinal Paneth cells of patients with Crohn's disease.
