OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishProgrammed cell death is essential for preserving the balance and functionality of multicellular organisms, and its disruption is linked to numerous pathological conditions. Among the key regulators of this process are ceramides—bioactive sphingolipids whose diverse roles depend on their cellular localization and interaction with specific targets. This review article explores the multifaceted functions of ceramides in various forms of programmed cell death, including apoptosis, anoikis, macroautophagy, mitophagy, and necroptosis. Special attention is given to the emerging role of dihydroceramides, previously considered inert intermediates, which are now recognized as active participants in cell signaling pathways. The article also discusses the influence of ceramide and dihydroceramide signaling on cancer progression, therapy resistance, and metastasis. Understanding these lipid mediators opens new perspectives for targeted therapeutic strategies in oncology and other diseases where cell death regulation is impaired.
