    Figure 2. Stress granule inducers inhibit RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL phosphorylation.

    Necroptosis signaling was analyzed by immunoblotting at the indicated time after the induction of necroptosis by TNF treatment. (A, B, C, D, E) Lysates from primary BMDMs pre-stressed with (A) thapsigargin (Thaps), (B) brefeldin A, (C) tunicamycin (Tunica), (D) MG132, or (E) Thaps and treated with zVAD + TNF were collected at the indicated time-points. Necroptosis signaling was examined by immunostaining for phosphorylation of MLKL and RIPK3 (p-MLKL and p-RIPK3) and phosphorylation of RIPK1 (p-RIPK1) at serine-166 (S166) or serine-321 (S321) and activation of the integrated stress response by phosphorylation of eIF2α (p-eIF2α). Immunoblots are representative of at least two independent experiments.

    Figure S6. BMDMs form stress granules (SGs) in response to thapsigargin treatment.

    Primary BMDMs were unstressed or treated with thapsigargin (Thaps) to induce SG formation. Cells were stained for G3BP1 (green), DDX3X (red), and DAPI (blue) to examine SG formation by confocal microscopy. Scale bars (white) indicate 20 μm. Images are representative from at least two independent experiments.

    Figure 3. DDX3X is not required for stress-dependent inhibition of necroptosis.

    Primary BMDMs were stimulated as indicated. (A) Primary BMDMs derived from control (Ddx3xfl/fl) or myeloid-specific Lyz2creDdx3xfl/fl mice were treated as indicated, and representative images (6 h) were obtained from automated IncuCyte analysis where necroptotic cells were quantified by uptake of membrane-impermeant Sytox Green (green, with red analysis mask outline). (B) Necroptosis was quantified by automated analysis of Sytox Green–positive nuclei. (C) Immunoblots were performed from BMDM lysates at the indicated time-points to confirm DDX3X expression was reduced and assess necroptosis signaling (via phosphorylation of MLKL [p-MLKL]) in unstressed or thapsigargin-stressed BMDMs treated with zVAD + TNF. (D) Primary BMDMs derived from control (Ddx3xfl/fl) or myeloid-specific Lyz2creDdx3xfl/fl mice were treated as indicated, and necroptosis was quantified by automated analysis of Sytox Green–positive nuclei. Ddx3xfl/fl and Lyz2creDdx3xfl/fl quantifications overlap upon zVAD + Ars + TNF treatment. (E) Representative images (6 h) and IncuCyte quantification of NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis (via LPS + nigericin treatment) in BMDMs derived from the indicated genotypes. Significance was determined (B, D, E) by two-way ANOVA followed by (B, D) Dunnett’s or (E) Sidak’s multiple comparisons test, ****P < 0.0001. Data are generated from three images per replicate well (n = 3) and are representative of at least three independent biological replicate experiments. Scale bar (black) indicates 50 μm.

    Figure 4. Disruption of SGs restores necroptosis in stressed BMDMs.

    Disruption of SGs by anisomycin (Aniso) treatment in thapsigargin (Thaps) pre-stressed cells was examined. (A) Confocal microscopy images were obtained from primary BMDMs treated as indicated and stained for G3BP1 (red), DDX3X (green), and DAPI (blue), and SG signal intensities were compared.

(C, D) Representative images of BMDMs (treated as indicated in panel B) and quantification of necroptosis (D) by uptake of membrane-impermeant Sytox Green (green, with red analysis mask outline). (E) Immunoblots were performed to determine the effect of SG disruption by Aniso on necroptosis signaling. Significance was determined (A) by Mann–Whitney test or (D) by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001. Data are representative of (A) at least three images per condition or (C, D) from three images per replicate well (n = 3) and are representative of at least three independent biological replicate experiments.
