Abstract
Various immune pathways have been identified in the host, including TH1, TH2, TH3, TH9, TH17, TH22, TH1-like, and THαβ immune reactions. While TH2 and TH9 responses primarily target multicellular parasites, host immune pathways directed against viruses, intracellular microorganisms (such as bacteria, protozoa, and fungi), and extracellular microorganisms can employ programmed cell death mechanisms to initiate immune responses or execute effective strategies for pathogen elimination. The types of programmed cell death involved include apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and NETosis. Specifically, apoptosis is associated with host anti-virus eradicable THαβ immunity, autophagy with host anti-virus tolerable TH3 immunity, pyroptosis with host anti-intracellular microorganism eradicable TH1 immunity, ferroptosis with host anti-intracellular microorganism tolerable TH1-like immunity, necroptosis with host anti-extracellular microorganism eradicable TH22 immunity, and NETosis with host anti-extracellular microorganism tolerable TH17 immunity.
