The cell death field has profited from the increasing attention of the scientific community and has been shown to lie at the very basis of cancer initiation and progression. Cuproptosis is a recently proposed method of cell death in 2022, and it is different from any previously reported method. The principle is that copper ions lead to aggregation and instability of intracellular proteins. An increasing number of researchers are dedicated to enriching the mechanism of cuproptosis and exploring its relationship with cancer. Studies have found that intracellular copper levels have an impact on the occurrence and development of lymphoma. The complexity of lymphoma and the limitations of treatment necessitate in-depth studies of the disease. We will review the mechanism of cuproptosis and its potential in lymphoma therapy.
Keywords: Cuproptosis; cell death.; copper metabolism; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; lymphoma.
