Programmed Cell Death plays a key role by eliminating unwanted cells from tissues. Caspases bring about the events of apoptosis by cleaving 100 different cell target proteins. In adult organisms, cell death must be balanced by cell renewal.

balanced throughout the life of multicellular organisms.
Animal development involves not only cell
proliferation and differentiation but also cell death. Most cell death occurs by a normal physiological process of programmed cell death. Introduction
In adult organisms, cell death must be
balanced by cell renewal. Most tissues contain stem cells that can replace cells that have been lost. ïrogrammed Cell Death
ïrogrammed cell death is carefully
regulated. In adults, it balances cell proliferation and maintains constant cell numbers. It also eliminates damaged and potentially dangerous cells. ïrogrammed Cell Death
During development, programmed cell
death plays a key role by eliminating unwanted cells from a variety of tissues. ïrogrammed Cell Death
¢ : Accidental cell death from acute
injury. : ïrogrammed cell death; an active process. Characterized by: ^ DNA fragmentation ^ Chromatin condensation ^ Fragmentation of the nucleus and cell Figure 17.1 Apoptosis ïrogrammed Cell Death
Apoptotic cells and cell fragments are
recognized and phagocytosed by macrophages and neighboring cells, and are rapidly removed from tissues. Necrotic cells swell and lyse; the contents are released into the extracellular space and cause inflammation. ïrogrammed Cell Death
Apoptotic cells express ³eat me´ signals,
such as phosphatidylserine. In normal cells, phosphatidylserine is restricted to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Figure 17.2 ïhagocytosis of apoptotic cells ïrogrammed Cell Death
Caspases are the ultimate executioners
of programmed cell death. They bring about the events of apoptosis by cleaving 100 different cell target proteins.
The activation of an initiator caspase
starts a chain reaction of caspase activation leading to death of the cell. Figure 17.4 Caspase targets ïrogrammed Cell Death
Ced-4 and its mammalian homolog (Apaf-1)
bind to caspases and promote their activation. In mammalian cells, caspase-9 is activated by binding to Apaf-1 in a protein complex called the m . Cytochrome R is also required, which is released from mitochondria. Figure 17.5 Caspase activation ïrogrammed Cell Death
R in is closely related to a mammalian gene called R
, which was first identified as an oncogene.
inhibits apoptosis. Cancer cells are unable to undergo apoptosis. ïrogrammed Cell Death
Mammalian cells encode about 20
proteins related to Bcl-2, in three functional groups. Some inhibit apoptosis, while others induce caspase activation. The fate of the cell is determined by the balance of activity of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members. ïrogrammed Cell Death
In mammalian cells, members of the Bcl-2
family act at the mitochondria, which play a central role in controlling programmed cell death. Cytochrome R is released from mitochondria, which triggers caspase activation in the apoptosome. Figure 17.8 The mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis ïrogrammed Cell Death
Caspases are also regulated by a family
of proteins called the 2
(inhibitor of apoptosis). They either inhibit caspase activity or target caspases for ubiquitination and degradation in the proteasome. ïrogrammed Cell Death
Regulation of programmed cell death is
mediated by signaling pathways, some acting to induce cell death and others acting to promote cell survival. Many forms of cell stress, such as DNA damage, can trigger programmed cell death. ïrogrammed Cell Death
A major pathway leading to cell cycle
arrest in response to DNA damage is mediated by the transcription factor . Activation of p53 due to DNA damage can also lead to apoptosis. Figure 17.10 Role of p53 in DNA damage-induced apoptosis ïrogrammed Cell Death
A major intracellular signaling pathway
that promotes cell survival is initiated by the enzyme 2
m , which activates Akt. Akt then phosphorylates a number of proteins that regulate apoptosis. Figure 17.11 The ïI 3-kinase pathway and cell survival ïrogrammed Cell Death
ïolypeptides in the
m
(¢) family signal cell death by activating cell surface receptors. These receptors directly activate a distinct initiator caspase, caspase-8. Figure 17.12 Cell death receptors (ïart 1) ïrogrammed Cell Death
ïrogrammed cell death can also occur
by non-apoptotic mechanisms such as mm . In normal cells, autophagy provides a mechanism for gradual turnover of the cell¶s components by uptake of proteins or organelles into vesicles that fuse with lysosomes.
