The Potential Therapeutic Prospect of PANoptosis in Heart Failure.

Heart failure (HF) represents a serious manifestation or advanced stage of various cardiac diseases. HF continues to impose a significant global disease burden, characterized by high rates of hospitalization and fatality. Furthermore, the pathogenesis and pathophysiological processes underlying HF remain incompletely understood, complicating its prevention and treatment strategies. One significant pathophysiological mechanism associated with HF is the systemic inflammatory response. PANoptosis, a novel mode of inflammatory cell death, has been extensively studied in the context of infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cancers, and other inflammatory conditions. Recent investigations have revealed that PANoptosis-related genes are markedly dysregulated in HF specimens. Consequently, the PANoptosis-mediated inflammatory response may represent a potential mechanism and therapeutic target for HF. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the molecular pathways that drive PANoptosis. We discuss its role and potential therapeutic targets in HF, thereby providing valuable insights for clinical treatment and the development of novel therapies.
