Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) triggers regulated necrosis of mycobacterium-infected macrophages through of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS) production in a RIPK1/3-dependent manner. To explain that, Roca and colleagues describe an inter-orgallenar circuit which involves the lysosomal ceramide production, mitoROS, BAX activation and RyR Ca2+ efflux from the endoplasmic reticulum into the mitochondrion.
