Recent advances in the role of gasotransmitters in necroptosis.

Necroptosis is a finely regulated programmed cell death process involving complex molecular mechanisms and signal transduction networks. Among them, receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein are the key molecules regulating this process. In recent years, gasotransmitters such as nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide have been suggested to play a regulatory role in necroptosis. This paper reviews the evidence that these gasotransmitters are involved in the regulation of necroptosis by influencing the production of reactive oxygen species, regulating the modification of S subunits of RIPK1 and RIPK3, regulating inflammatory mediators, and signal transduction. In addition, this review explores the potential therapeutic applications of these gasotransmitters in pathological conditions such as cardiovascular disease and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although some studies have revealed the important role of gasotransmitters in necroptosis, the specific mechanism of action is still not fully understood. Future research is needed to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms of gasotransmitters in precisely regulating necroptosis, which will help develop new therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat related diseases.
