Molecular methods of cell culture III. Apoptosis Programmed cell death A physiological mechanism to eliminate excess, damaged or dangerous cells from an organism without damaging surrounding cells and tissues Necessary for normal embryogenesis
E N D
Apoptosis • Programmed cell death • A physiological mechanism to • eliminate excess, damaged or • dangerous cells from an organism • without damaging surrounding cells and tissues • Necessary for normal embryogenesis • Maintenance of tissue homeostasis
Apoptotic morphology • Membrane blebbing • Aggregation of chromatin at the nuclear membrane • Ends with fragmentation of cell into small bodies • Begin with shrinking of cytoplasm and condensation of nucleus • Formation of apoptotic bodies • Mitochondria become leaky due to pore formation • involving proteins of the bcl-2 family
