Published: August 2014

Necrosis, an inflammatory form of cell death, has been considered to be an accidental death and/or cell death due to injury. However, the literature in the last decade has established that necrosis is a regulated form of cell death, and that inhibition of specific molecular pathways leading to necrosis can block it and reduce inflammation. Since necrotic lesions are observed in several immune mediated human pathologies, in this review we will discuss the impact that this form of programmed cellular demise has in the pathology of immune mediated nephropathies.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent and deadly malignancies worldwide. Recently, ferroptosis, a novel form of regulated cell death characterized by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation, has garnered significant attention from researchers. The mechanisms underlying ferroptosis, including intracellular iron levels, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant system regulation, offer new insights into cancer treatment strategies.

Background: Dysbiosis of the lung microbiome can contribute to the initiation and progression of lung cancer. Synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC) is an increasingly recognized subtype of lung cancer characterized by high morbidity, difficulties in early detection, poor prognosis, and substantial clinical challenges. However, the relationship between sMPLC pathogenesis and changes in the lung microbiome remains unclear.

ZBP1 senses DNA triggering type I interferon signaling pathway and unfolded protein response activation.

Departamento de Bioquímica e Imunologia, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

The innate immune system promptly detects and responds to invading pathogens, with a key role played by the recognition of bacterial-derived DNA through pattern recognition receptors. The Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) functions as a DNA sensor inducing type I interferon (IFN) production, innate immune responses and also inflammatory cell death. ZBP1 interacts with cytosolic DNA via its DNA-binding domains, crucial for its activation.

Object: Neuroinflammation mediated by microglia has emerged as a critical factor in ischemic stroke and neuronal damage. Gualou Guizhi Granule (GLGZG) has been shown to suppress inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated microglia, though the underlying mechanisms and its protective effects against neuronal apoptosis remain unclear. This study aims to investigate how GLGZG regulates the Notch signaling pathway in microglia to reduce neuroinflammation and protect neurons from apoptosis.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a malignancy with a high mortality rate and complex biological characteristics and heterogeneity, which poses challenges for clinical treatment. Anoikis is a type of programmed cell death that occurs when cells lose their attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and it plays a crucial role in tumor metastasis. However, the specific biological link between anoikis and COAD, as well as its mechanisms in tumor progression, remains unclear, making it a potential new direction for therapeutic strategy research.
