The adaptor protein TRADD is indispensible for caspase 8 activation and necrosome formation in the setting of TAK1 inhibition. (a) Western blots for the indicated proteins from TNFR1-/-, and TNFR2-/- MEFs treated with vehicle control or 5z-7 plus TNFα for 4 h, in the presence or absence of Nec-1 or zVAD. (b) Caspase 8 activity in TNFR1-/-, and TNFR2-/-, MEFs treated with vehicle control, TNFα, or 5z-7 plus TNFα for 2 h. †P<0.01 versus Control or TNF only. (c) Western blots for the indicated proteins from TRADD+/+ and TRADD-/-, MEFs treated with vehicle control or 5z-7 plus TNFα for 4 h, in the presence or absence of Nec-1 or zVAD. (d) Western blots for the indicated proteins following IP with an anti-RIP3 antibody from TRADD+/+ and TRADD-/-, MEFs treated with 5z-7 plus TNFα for the indicated periods of time. (e) Caspase 8 activity in TRADD+/+ and TRADD-/-, MEFs treated with vehicle control or 5z-7 plus TNFα for 2 h, with or without Nec-1 or zVAD. †P<0.01 versus Con; #P<0.05 versus corresponding TRADD+/+. (f) Cell death assessed by PI staining of TRADD+/+ and TRADD-/-, MEFs treated as in e for 4 h. P<0.01 versus Con; #P<0.05 versus corresponding TRADD+/+ §P<0.05 versus TRADD+/+ 5z-7 plus TNF. * indicates cleaved proteins
