Study Notes
Cell Death Mechanisms
- Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that involves a series of biochemical events leading to a controlled demolition of the cell.
- Necroptosis is a programmed cell death characterized by cell swelling, membrane rupture, and a translucent cytoplasm with moderate chromatin condensation.
- Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process involving the formation of double-membraned vesicles called autophagosomes that engulf cellular proteins and organelles for delivery to the lysosomes.
- Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation that is inhibited by glutathione peroxidase 4.
Detecting Methods for Cell Death Mechanisms
- Apoptosis: DNA fragmentation, cytochrome C release
- Necroptosis: RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL
- Autophagy: Immune colloidal gold technique, GFP-LC3
- Ferroptosis: ATPG3, immunofluorescence
- Pyroptosis: BCA, Ca2+ fluorescence, spectral analysis
Types of Cell Death and Inflammation
- Non-lytic Cell Death: Oxeiptosis and apoptosis do not induce inflammation.
- Lytic Cell Death: Pyroptosis induces and spreads inflammation.
Extrinsic Apoptosis Pathway
- Initiated by alterations in the extracellular milieu.
- Binding of a ligand to a cell surface death receptor leads to the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex (DISC).
- DISC activates caspase-8.
- Caspase-8 activates effector caspases, such as caspase-3 and caspase-7, leading to cell death.
Key Players in the Extrinsic Apoptosis Pathway
- FLIP: An inhibitory protein that blocks the extrinsic pathway by binding to procaspase-8 without activating it.
- XIAP: Blocks the extrinsic pathway by inhibiting caspase-3 activation.
Reperfusion Injury
- Reperfusion injury is a complex phenomenon that results from restoration of blood flow to ischemic (oxygen-deprived) tissue.
- Oxidative stress, calcium imbalance, and opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore are key contributors to reperfusion injury.
Necrosis and Apoptosis: Role in Tissue Injury
- Necrosis: A form of cell death that occurs when cells are injured in a way that overwhelms their ability to repair themselves.
- Apoptosis: Essential for normal tissue development and homeostasis.
- Coagulative Necrosis: Leads to a firm, opaque area of tissue.
- Liquefactive Necrosis: Leads to the formation of a soft, liquefied area of tissue.
- Gangrenous Necrosis: A form of tissue death that typically occurs in distal extremities.
- Fat Necrosis: A form of necrosis that occurs specifically in adipose tissue.
TNF Receptor 1 (TNFR1) Signaling
- TNFR1 is a key receptor involved in the regulation of cell death and inflammation.
- Upon ligation of TNFR1, a cell can respond in three different ways depending on the ubiquitination status of RIPK1.
- TNFR1 signaling can result in apoptosis, necroptosis, or cell survival.
