Mitochondrial translocation of oxidized cofilin induces caspase-independent necrotic-like programmed cell death of T cells
Oxidative stress leads to T-cell hyporesponsiveness or death. The actin-binding protein cofilin is oxidized during oxidative stress, which provokes a stiff actin cytoskeleton and T-cell hyporesponsiveness. Here, we show that long-term oxidative stress leads to translocation of cofilin into the mitoc...

| Zusammenfassung: | Oxidative stress leads to T-cell hyporesponsiveness or death. The actin-binding protein cofilin is oxidized during oxidative stress, which provokes a stiff actin cytoskeleton and T-cell hyporesponsiveness. Here, we show that long-term oxidative stress leads to translocation of cofilin into the mitochondria and necrotic-like programmed cell death (PCD) in human T cells. Notably, cofilin mutants that functionally mimic oxidation by a single mutation at oxidation-sensitive cysteins (Cys-39 or Cys-80) predominately localize within the mitochondria. The expression of these mutants alone ultimately leads to necrotic-like PCD in T cells. Accordingly, cofilin knockdown partially protects T cells from the fatal effects of long-term oxidative stress. Thus, we introduce the oxidation and mitochondrial localization of cofilin as the checkpoint for necrotic-like PCD upon oxidative stress as it occurs, for example, in tumor environments. |
