摘要:

文题释义:

细胞焦亡:是由Gasdermin家族蛋白介导的细胞死亡,是一种独特的程序性细胞死亡方式,细胞形态以细胞肿胀、质膜破裂、细胞核完整、膜孔形成、渗透裂解和炎性细胞内容物释放为特征。细胞焦亡与炎症反应紧密相连,并且依赖于炎症小体的激活以及caspase家族蛋白的剪切作用。
乳腺癌:是发生在乳腺上皮组织的恶性肿瘤,通常发生在乳腺的导管或小叶细胞中,其发病率与死亡率在女性癌症中均居首位,是女性最常见的癌症之一。

摘要
背景:众多研究指出细胞焦亡在肿瘤进展中扮演着关键角色。近年来研究显示,细胞焦亡与乳腺癌发生、发展和治疗有着不可忽视的联系,开发有效的细胞焦亡治疗策略已成为乳腺癌治疗领域的研究热点。
目的:综合分析细胞焦亡的机制,探究细胞焦亡在乳腺癌中的抗肿瘤作用以及在临床治疗中的潜在应用价值。
方法:以“pyroptosis,breast cancer,inflammasome,gasdermin,caspase,drug resistance,treatment”为英文检索词,检索PubMed数据库建库至2024年8月发表的文献。通过阅读文题和摘要进行初步筛选,排除与此次研究内容相关性差、信息陈旧或观点重复且缺乏权威性的文献,最后纳入121篇文献进行综述。
结果与结论:细胞焦亡是一种特殊的程序性细胞死亡方式,它通过激活Gasdermin家族蛋白来执行,在乳腺癌治疗中显示出潜在的应用价值。长期或不当的治疗可导致肿瘤细胞对药物产生耐药性,细胞焦亡机制的研究有助于克服耐药性缺陷。细胞焦亡能够触发免疫原性细胞死亡,促进肿瘤特异性抗原的释放,进而激活免疫系统,提高其对肿瘤细胞的识别和清除能力。细胞焦亡相关基因表达水平可作为乳腺癌预后指标,有助于评估患者的治疗反应和生存期。细胞焦亡机制研究可为乳腺癌治疗提供新的策略,如靶向诱导焦亡的药物和治疗方法,有助于实现乳腺癌个体化治疗方案。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have indicated that pyroptosis plays a key role in the progression of cancer. In recent years, research has shown that pyroptosis is inextricably linked to the occurrence, development, and treatment of breast cancer. The development of effective pyroptosis-based therapeutic strategies has become a hot topic in the field of breast cancer treatment.
OBJECTIVE: To comprehensively analyze the mechanisms of pyroptosis, explore the role of pyroptosis in the anti-tumor effects in breast cancer, and its potential application value in clinical treatment.
METHODS: Using English search terms “pyroptosis, breast cancer, inflammasome, gasdermin, caspase, drug resistance, treatment”, PubMed database was searched for articles published from inception to August 2024. Through the preliminary screening of reading titles and abstracts, literature with poor relevance to the research content, outdated information, repeated views, and lack of authority was excluded. Finally, 121 articles were included for review. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Pyroptosis is a special form of programmed cell death that is carried out by the activation of the gasdermin family of proteins, showing potential application value in the treatment of breast cancer. Long-term or improper treatment can lead to drug resistance in cancer cells; research on the mechanism of pyroptosis helps to overcome resistance deficiencies. Pyroptosis can trigger immunogenic cell death, promoting the release of tumor-specific antigens, thereby activating the immune system and enhancing its ability to recognize and clear tumor cells. The expression levels of pyroptosis-related genes can serve as prognostic indicators for breast cancer, helping to assess patients’ treatment responses and survival periods. Research on the mechanisms of pyroptosis can provide new strategies for the treatment of breast cancer, such as targeted drugs and therapeutic methods that induce pyroptosis, contributing to the realization of personalized treatment plans for breast cancer.
