Abstract

Autoimmunity is a normal physiological state that requires immunological homeostasis and surveillance, whereas necroptosis is a type of inflammatory cell death. When necroptosis occurs, various immune system cells must perform their appropriate duties to preserve immunological homeostasis, whether the consequence is expanding or limiting the inflammatory response and the pathological condition is cleared or progresses to the autoimmune disease stage. This article discusses necroptosis based on RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM) interaction under various physiological and pathological situations, with the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL necrosome serving as the regulatory core. In addition, the cell biology of necroptosis involved in autoimmunity and its application in autoimmune diseases were also reviewed.
