Caspase-8 is a unique member of caspases with a dual role in cell death and survival. Caspase-8 expression is often lost in some tumors, but increased in others, indicating a potential pro-survival function in cancer.
Caspase-8 (Casp8) acts as an initiator in cell apoptosis signaling. However, the role of Casp8 in tuning the tumor immune microenvironment remains controversial due to the complicated crosstalk between immune-tolerogenic apoptotic cell death and immunogenic cell death cascades.

ER Stress↑,
*Inflam↓, EGCG has health benefits including anti-tumor [15], anti-inflammatory [16], anti-diabetes [17], anti-myocardial infarction [18], anti-cardiac hypertrophy [19], anti-atherosclerosis [20], and antioxidant
*cardioP↑,
*antiOx↑,
*LDL↓, These effects are mainly related to (LDL) cholesterol inhibition, NF-κB inhibition, MPO activity inhibition, decreased levels of glucose and glycated hemoglobin in plasma, decreased inflammatory markers, and reduced ROS generation

*MPO↓,
*glucose↓,
*ROS↓,
ATG5↑, EGCG induced autophagy by enhancing Beclin-1, ATG5, and LC3B and promoted mitochondrial depolarization in breast cancer cells.

LC3II↑, increasing the LC3-II expression levels and induced apoptosis via inducing ROS in mesothelioma cell lines,
NOTCH3↓, but also could reduce partially Notch3/DLL3 to reduce drug-resistance and the stemness of tumor cells
eff↑, In combination therapies, low-intensity pulsed electric field (PEF) can improve EGCG to affect tumor cells; ultrasound (US) with tumor cells is the application of physical stimulation in cancer therapy.
p‑Akt↓, 20 μM EGCG increased intracellular ROS levels and LC3-II, and inhibited p-Akt in PANC-1 cells

*memory↑, EGCG restored autophagy in the mTOR/p70S6K pathway to weaken memory and learning disorders induced by CUMS
*neuroP↑, Finally, EGCG increased the neurological scores through inhibiting cell death
*Ca+2?, EGCG treatment, [Ca2+]m and [Ca2+]i expressions were reduced and oxyhemoglobin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction lessened.
GRP78/BiP↑, MMe cells with EGCG treatment improved GRP78 expression in the endoplasmic reticulum, and induced EDEM, CHOP, XBP1, and ATF4 expressions, and increased the activity of caspase-3 and caspase-8.
