„The process of naturaldeath” • The word „apoptosis” (Greekspelling of apoptosis) is usedinGreektodescribethe „droppingoff” or „fallingoff” of petalsfromflowers, orleavesfromtrees • Professor James Cormack of theDepartmentofGreek, University of Aberdeen, suggestedthistermfortheprocessofprogrammedcelldeathin 1972
Role of apoptosis • Apoptosis, ingeneral, confersadvantagesduring an organism's life cycle: oneappropriateresponseto a signal is forthecelltocommitsuicide –presumablyforthegood of theorganism • Between50 and 70 billioncells die eachdayduetoapoptosisintheaverage human adult • Programmedcelldeath is encodedinthegenome • Apoptosisdoesnotrequirenewtranscriptionortranslation, suggestingthatthemolecularmachineryrequiredforcelldeathlaydormantinthecell, and justrequiresappropriateactivation.
Whenwouldit be advantageoustotheorganism? • To „sculpt” an organismduringdevelopmentsuchasduringembryodevelopment, metamorphosis and tissueatrophy • Regulatethetotalnumber of cells • Defend and removeunwantedordangerouscellslike tumor cells, virallyinfectedcells, orimmunecellsthatrecognizeself • Is requiredintheimmunesystemforthematuration, selection of lymphocytes
The actualstepsincelldeathrequire • Condensing of thecellnucleus and breakingitintopieces • Condensing and fragmenting of cytoplasmintomembraneboundapoptoticbodies • Breakingchromosomesintofragmentscontainingmultiplenumber of nucleosomes (a nucleosomeladder)
Apoptosissignals • Extracellular: • A hormone - suchasthyroxinewhichcausesapoptosisintadpoletails • Lack of a „survival” signal (whichinhibitsapoptosis) suchasagrowthfactor • Cell-cellcontactfrom an adjacentcell • Toxins, nitricoxide, cytokines • Increasedintracellularcalcium→calpainproduction (calciumbindingprotease) • Intracellular: • Ionizingradiation, heat, deprivation of nutrients • Virusinfection • Oxidativedamagefrom free radicals, hypoxia • Glucocorticoids
Mechanism of apoptosis: caspases • A wholefamily of proteases (about 10 inhumans) calledcaspasesarerequiredforprogrammedcell • Caspases:cyscontaining-aspspecificproteases • Theyareendoproteaseshaving an active site Cys (C) and cleaveattheC-terminalside of Aspresidues (asp) • Theyarefirstsynthesizedasinactivepro-caspases • Theseproteasesarefoundinthecellininactiveformwhich must undergolimited proteolysisforactivation • Thesecaspasesform a cascade
Initiatorcaspases • Initiatorcaspasecan be activatediftheyaggregateto a criticalconcentration • The prodomain of theinitiatorcaspasescontaindomainssuchas a CARD domain (e.g. caspases-2 and -9) or a deathdomain (DED) (caspases-8 and -10) thatenablesthecaspasestointeractwithothermoleculesthatregulatetheiractivation • The activeinitiatorcaspaseactivatetheeffectorcaspases
The caspasecascadecan be activatedby • Granzyme B: a serin protease (releasedbycytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells), which is knowntoactivatecaspase-3and -7 • Deathreceptors:Fas, TRAIL receptors and TNF receptors, whichcanactivatecaspase-8 and -10 • Apoptosome: is regulatedbycytochrome-c and the Bcl-2 family, whichactivates caspase-9

Whatcausesallthesechangesinthemitochondria? • Disruption of ox-phos. and electrontransport, causedbyirradiationandcertainsecondmessengerssuchasceramide • Changesincellredoxpotential and generation of reactiveoxygenspecies (ROS) • Damageto DNA causedbyradiation, ROS, etc. A protein called p53 is oftenexpressedincellswith DNA damage. Expression of this protein resultsininhibition of celldivision, orapoptosis, bothofwhichwouldkeepthedamagedcellfrombecoming a tumor cell. Hence the p53 gene is a tumor suppressorgene. It is inactivatedbymutationinapproximately 50% of all human tumor cellsstudied. p53 caninducegeneexpression. Of the 14 differentgeneswhoseexpressionaresignificantly altered by p53, manyseemto be usedbycellstogenerateorrespondtooxidativestress.

Extrinsicapoptoticpathway:deathreceptors • Activatedimmunecellsstart expressingFas a fewdaysafteractivation, targetingthemforelimination • SomecellswhichhavebeenstressedexpressbothFas and Fasligandandkillthemselves • Variouscellsexpress CD95 (Fas), butCD95L (Fas-Ligand) is expressedpredominatelybyactivated T cells
Role of deathreceptors: Fas • FAS receptor (alsoknownas Apo-1 or CD95): • FADD (Fas-associateddeathdomain) bindstotheaggregatedcytoplasmicdomain (thedeathdomain) of CD95 • Recruitsinactivecaspase-8 and 10tothe site → death-inducingsignalingcomplex(DISC)

TNFR signaling • TNF-R1 is expressedin most tissues→soluble and membranebound TNF • TNF-R2is foundonlyincells of theimmunesystem→onlymembranebound TNF • Effects: • IKK → IkB →NFkB→Transcription of proteinsinvolvedincellsurvival and proliferation, inflammation, andanti-apoptoticfactors • MKK7 →JNK→Ap-1 →Celldifferentiation, proliferation, pro-apoptotic • Caspase-8→ Caspase 3 →Apoptosisinduction • Caspase-8 →Bid→Apoptosisinduction
Controllingapoptosis • Apoptosisinhibitors: Bcl-2 and Bcl-X • Theyhave a hydrophobictail and bindtotheoutsidesurface of mitochondria and otherorganelleslikethenucleusandendoplasmicreticulum • Bcl-2 canalsobindto Apaf-1 and inhibititsactivation of initiator caspase-9 • Overexpression of Bcl-2 cancause a celltobecomea tumor cell.

Efferocytosis • The effect of efferocytosis is that dead cells are removed before their membrane integrity is breached and their contents leak into the surrounding tissue. • This prevents exposure of tissue to toxic enzymes, oxidantsand other intracellular components such as proteases and caspase. • Mediated by macrophages, DC, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells
