Abstrakt: Cell death is a critical biological process necessary for development, tissue maintenance, and defense against diseases. To date, more than 20 forms of cell death have been identified, each defined by unique molecular pathways. Understanding these different forms of cell death is essential for investigating the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions and developing appropriate therapies. Paraptosis is a distinct form of regulated cell death characterized by cytoplasmic vacuolation and dilatation of cellular organelles like the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is regulated by several signaling pathways, for instance, those associated with ER stress, calcium overload, oxidative stress, and specific cascades such as insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) and its downstream signaling pathways comprising mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Paraptosis has been observed in diverse biological contexts, including development and cellular stress responses in neuronal, retinal, endothelial, and muscle cells. The induction of paraptosis is increasingly important in anticancer therapy, as it targets non-apoptotic stress responses in tumor cells, which can be utilized to induce cell death. This approach enhances treatment efficacy and addresses drug resistance, particularly in cases where cancer cells are resistant to apoptosis. Combining paraptosis-inducing agents with traditional therapies holds promise for enhancing treatment efficacy and overcoming drug resistance, suggesting a valuable strategy in anticancer therapy.
