Abstract
Chronic inflammation of the large intestine is associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Necroptosis has emerged as a form of lytic programmed cell death that, distinct from apoptosis, triggers an inflammatory response. Dysregulation of necroptosis has been linked to multiple chronic inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and cancer. Here, we used murine models of acute colitis, colitis-associated CRC, sporadic CRC, and spontaneous intestinal tumorigenesis to investigate the role of necroptosis in these gastrointestinal pathologies. In the Dextran Sodium Sulfate-induced acute ..
