Research
Our lab uses in vivo models together with clinical samples to decipher the molecular mechanisms of cell death-induced skin and joint inflammation.
Programmed necrosis and alarmins in inflammation
Long considered a passive form of cell death, necrosis has recently been shown to be a regulated process, activated by a variety of endogenous or exogenous stimuli, such a Death Receptors (DRs), interferons (IFNs), or Toll-like Receptor (TLRs). Necrotic death is highly pro-inflammatory due to the release of intracellular molecules, called alarmins or Danger Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs). Necroptosis is the best characterised form of programmed necrosis and has been shown to trigger inflammation in numerous organs, in particular in barrier epithelia (skin, colon, kidney). It is regulated by the necrosome complex, composed of kinases RIPK1 and RIPK3 and their substrate, pseudo-kinase MLKL.
Using genetic approaches and in vivo models, our work aims at elucidating the role of programmed necrosis and alarmins, as well as deciphering the molecular regulation of programmed necrosis in inflammatory diseases, in collaboration with clinicians, to identify early biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for personalised medicine.
