RESUMEN
Necroptosis is a tightly regulated form of necrosis that requires the activation of receptor-interacting protein (RIP) kinases RIPK1 and RIPK3, as well as the RIPK3 substrate mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Because of membrane rupture, necroptotic cells release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that evoke immune responses. Necroptosis is emerging as an important cellular response in the modulation of cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. Necroptosis of cancer cells is considered to be an immunogenic cell death capable of activating anti-tumor immunity. Necroptosis also participates in the promotion of myeloid cell-induced adaptive immune suppression and thus contributes to oncogenesis. In addition, necroptosis of endothelial cells and tumor cells is conducive to tumor metastasis. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the complex role of necroptosis in cancer and discuss the potential of targeting necroptosis components for cancer therapies.

Most of the present anticancer drugs are highly cytotoxic and focus mainly on killing tumor cells rather than slowing the progress of cancer metastasis. Evidence has been reported that bridges the mechanisms of inflammation and tumor invasion. Therefore, we evaluated the potency in cancer metastasis chemoprevention of compounds and a coumarin extracted from Murraya exotica, which is known for its anti-inflammation bioactivity. By carrying out experiments in vitro, we found the root extracts more efficient than the leaf extracts in restraining cell migration of MDA-MB-231 cells, while leaf extracts presented slightly stronger inhibition of tumor cell adhesion at low concentrations. In addition, compared to root extracts, a novel coumarin identified previously from root extracts showed equal inhibition on cancer cell adhesion and less inhibition on cell migration. All extracts used in this study presented low cytotoxicity in vitro. Through comparison of the contents of leaf and root extracts from M exotica, several compounds are considered promising against cancer metastasis. This study evaluates the worth of further development of M exotica to find its effect on cancer metastasis chemoprevention.
