Turning the Spotlight on Lipids in Non-Apoptotic Cell Death
Abstract
Although apoptosis has long dominated the spotlight, studies in the past two decades have expanded the repertoire of programmed cell death (PCD). Several forms of non-apoptotic regulated cell death have been identified, with important links to organismal homeostasis and different disease pathologies. Necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and NETosis are the major forms of PCD that have attracted attention. Clear biochemical distinctions differentiate these forms of non-apoptotic PCD at the protein and membrane levels. For instance, pore formation at the plasma membrane is a hallmark of necroptosis and pyroptosis; however, different proteins facilitate pore formation in these processes. Here, we will highlight the role of lipids in different forms of non-apoptotic PCD. In particular, we discuss how lipids can trigger or facilitate the membrane-related changes that result in cell death. We also highlight the use of small molecules in elucidating the mechanisms of non-apoptotic PCD and the potential of lipid biosynthetic pathways to perturb these processes for therapeutic applications as a future avenue of research.
