In multicellular organisms, cell death is perpetually in a dynamic process. Apoptosis as a pivotal form of regulated cell death, mainly encompasses two pathways: the intrinsic pathway and the extrinsic pathway. During the pathogen infection, host cells are capable of eliminating the infected cells through apoptosis. On the other hand, pathogens have evolved a multitude of strategies to regulate host cell apoptosis. These strategies involve the use of effector proteins to modulate cellular signaling pathways, the regulation of the expression of apoptosis-related genes, the control of key proteins within the apoptosis pathway, and the modulation of the activity of proteases in the Caspase family. This article provides a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms and strategies by which intracellular pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, parasitic fungi, and parasites, regulate host cell apoptosis. The aim is to offer valuable references for further exploration of the intricate interaction mechanisms between pathogens and hosts.
