Survival of Single Positive Thymocytes Depends upon Developmental Control of RIPK1 Kinase Signaling by the IKK Complex Independent of NF-κB.

Immunity | 2019

NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) signaling is considered critical for single positive (SP) thymocyte development because loss of upstream activators of NF-κB, such as the IKK complex, arrests their development. We found that the compound ablation of RelA, cRel, and p50, required for canonical NF-κB transcription, had no impact upon thymocyte development. While IKK-deficient thymocytes were acutely sensitive to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced cell death, Rel-deficient cells remained resistant, calling into question the importance of NF-κB as the IKK target required for thymocyte survival. Instead, we found that IKK controlled thymocyte survival by repressing cell-death-inducing activity of the serine/threonine kinase RIPK1. We observed that RIPK1 expression was induced during development of SP thymocytes and that IKK was required to prevent RIPK1-kinase-dependent death of SPs in vivo. Finally, we showed that IKK was required to protect Rel-deficient thymocytes from RIPK1-dependent cell death, underscoring the NF-κB-independent function of IKK during thymic development.
