ABSTRACT
Previous studies focused on the unique regulatory mechanisms of different cell death pathways. However， recent studies highlight crosstalk and co-ordination between these pathways and initiate a new cell death process called PANoptosis （pyroptosis， apoptosis， necroptosis）. PANoptosis is an inflammatory programmed cell death pathway regulated by the PANoptosome complex with critical features of pyroptosis， and/or necroptosis but cannot be characterized by any of the death modes of pyroptosis， apoptosis or necroptosis alone. By activating the PANoptosis pathway， some triggers like bacterial， viral， and fungal infections can cause death of the host. This review explains the PANoptosis-related routes， regulators and their potential effects on blinding eye diseases.
ABSTRACT
In recent years, with the progress of research on the molecular mechanism of cell death, it has been discovered that there are many new types of programmed cell death, including non-apoptotic (10 types) and apoptotic (2 types), which are widely involved in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and tumors. It is also a frontier research topic and provides new ideas for disease prevention and treatment. This article reviews the published literature on programmed cell death, focusing on the characteristics of cell necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, neutrophil inflammatory cell death (NETosis), cuproptosis, and widespread apoptosis (PANoptosis), as well as their relationship with infectious diseases.
