Airway epithelial necroptosis is closely linked to COPD pathogenesis. Necroptotic lung cells can release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that can initiate a robust inflammatory response. However, the underlying mechanism of necroptosis in COPD is still not clearly understood. Therefore, we aimed to explore the roles and mechanisms of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)-mediated necroptosis in the regulation of inflammatory responses in COPD to provide insights into RIPK1-inhibitor drug discovery efforts and their therapeutic benefits in COPD.
