Oxeiptosis is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced pathway of cell death. The involvement of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been confirmed in the incidence and progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). However, whether oxeiptosis occurs in IVDD and how circRNAs regulate oxeiptosis is still unclear. In this study, we discovered that oxeiptosis could be induced in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), and circFOXO3 was significantly upregulated after oxeiptosis induction. Transfection using circFOXO3 small interfering RNA (siRNA) significantly inhibited oxeiptosis in NPCs. Mechanistically, circFOXO3 upregulated acid-sensing ion channel subunit 1 (ASIC1) expression by functioning as a molecular sponge for miR-185-3p and miR-939-5p. Subsequent rescue experiments validated that circFOXO3 could regulate oxeiptosis in NPCs via the miR-185-3p/miR-939-5p-ASIC1 axis. Further research on ASIC1 functions indicated that this regulation was achieved by affecting the Calcium ion (Ca) influx mediated by ASIC1. A mouse IVDD model was established, and silencing circFOXO3 in vivo was found to inhibit IVDD development and the activation of the oxeiptosis-related pathway. Overall, circFOXO3 is one of the factors contributing to the progression of IVDD by mediating oxeiptosis.

The oxidative stress response is centered on the transcription factor NRF2 and protects cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS). While ROS inhibit the E3 ligase CUL3 to stabilize NRF2 and elicit antioxidant gene expression, cells recovering from stress must rapidly reactivate CUL3 to prevent reductive stress and oxeiptosis-dependent cell death. How cells restore efficient NRF2-degradation upon ROS clearance remains poorly understood.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with increasing global prevalence and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in the human population. Developing robust clinical prediction models and prognostic stratification strategies is crucial for developing individualized treatment plans. A range of novel forms of programmed cell death (PCD) plays a role in the pathological progression and advancement of HCC, and in-depth study of PCD is expected to further improve the prognosis of HCC patients.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on melanoma treatment challenges, highlighting the need for a model that can predict prognosis and assess drug sensitivity using programmed cell death (PCD) modes.
- - Researchers analyzed 13 PCD modes to create a Cell Death Index (CDI) based on gene signatures, which was validated with various data sources and showed distinct differences in patient outcomes.
- - The CDI model effectively predicts melanoma prognosis and drug resistance, indicating that patients with higher CDI values have poorer postoperative outcomes.

Cell death is a critical biological phenomenon that can be categorized into accidental cell death (ACD) and programmed cell death (PCD), each exhibiting distinct signaling, mechanistic and morphological characteristics. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of seven types of ACD, including coagulative, liquefactive, caseous, fat, fibrinoid, gangrenous and secondary necrosis, discussing their pathological implications in conditions such as ischemia and inflammation. Additionally, we review eighteen forms of PCD, encompassing autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, paraptosis, ferroptosis, anoikis, entosis, NETosis, eryptosis, parthanatos, mitoptosis, and newly recognized types such as methuosis, autosis, alkaliptosis, oxeiptosis, cuprotosis and erebosis.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a common upper gastrointestinal tumor. However, the evaluation of prognosis and treatment response in patients with gastric cancer remains a challenge. Programmed cell death (PCD) is one of the important terminal paths for the cells of metazoans, and is involved in a variety of biological events that include morphogenesis, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, and elimination of harmful cells.
