Popis: Regulated cell death, a regulatory form of cell demise, has been extensively studied in multicellular organisms. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining organismal homeostasis under normal and pathological conditions. Although alterations in various regulated cell death modes are hallmark features of tumorigenesis, they can have divergent effects on cancer cells. Consequently, there is a growing interest in targeting these mechanisms using small-molecule compounds for therapeutic purposes, with substantial progress observed across various human cancers. This review focuses on summarizing key signaling pathways associated with apoptotic and autophagy-dependent cell death. Additionally, it explores crucial pathways related to other regulated cell death modes in the context of cancer. The discussion delves into the current understanding of these processes and their implications in cancer treatment, aiming to illuminate novel strategies to combat therapy resistance and enhance overall cancer therapy.
