Ways of dying: multiple pathways to apoptosis.
In order to eliminate cells that are redundant, damaged, or infected, metazoan organisms have evolved the cell suicide mechanism termed apoptosis (Kerr et al. 1972). This genetic program is vital for normal development, for maintenance of tissue homeostasis, and for an effective immune system. Not surprisingly therefore, its disturbance is implicated in numerous pathological conditions, ranging...
متن کاملApoptosis: from Signalling Pathways to Therapeutic Tools
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a gene regulated phenomenon which is important in both physiological and pathological conditions. It is characterized by distinct morphological features including chromatin condensation, cell and nuclear shrinkage, membrane blebbing and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Although, two major apoptotic pathways including 1) the death receptor (extrinsic) and...

متن کاملPML Degradation: Multiple Ways to Eliminate PML
The promyelocytic leukemia tumor suppressor gene (PML) critically regulates several cellular functions that oppose tumorigenesis such as oncogene-induced senescence, apoptosis, the response to DNA damage and to viral infections. PML deficiency occurs commonly in a broad spectrum of human cancers through mechanisms that involve its aberrant ubiquitination and degradation. Furthermore, several vi...
متن کاملMultiple Pathways of Dna Disintegration during Neuronal Apoptosis
Apoptotic cell death has been shown to contribute to neurodegeneration. Two biochemical processes are thought to be obligatory in apoptosis, namely, the activation of the caspases and the fragmentation of nuclear DNA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of DNA disintegration during neuronal apoptosis and to clarify whether HMWand internucleosomal DNA cleavage represent d...
