诱导性坏死性凋亡及其在癌症免疫治疗中的作用

Necroptosis is a type of regulated cell death (RCD) that is triggered by changes in the extracellular or intracellular milieu that are picked up by certain death receptors. Thanks to its potent capacity to induce immunological responses and overcome apoptotic resistance, it has garnered significant attention as a potential cancer treatment. Basic information for the creation of nano-biomedical treatments is provided by studies on the mechanisms underlying tumor necroptosis.

Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)-RIPK3-mediated necroptosis, Toll-like receptor domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon (IFN)-β (TRIF)-RIPK3-mediated necroptosis, Z-DNA-binding protein 1 (ZBP1)-RIPK3-mediated necroptosis, and IFNR-mediated necroptosis are the four signaling pathways that collectively account for triggered necroptosis in this review. Necroptosis has garnered significant interest as a possible cancer treatment strategy because, in contrast to apoptosis, it elicits immunological responses that are relevant to therapy.

Thus, a thorough discussion is held on the connections between tumor cell necroptosis and the immune environment, cancer immunosurveillance, and cells such as dendritic cells (DCs), cytotoxic T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, and their respective cytokines. Lastly, a summary of the most recent nanomedicines that cause necroptosis in order to cause immunogenic cell death is provided in order to emphasize their promise for cancer immunotherapy.
