Apoptosis is a tightly regulated process of programmed cell death that removes unnecessary or damaged cells. It is mediated by caspases, cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, that cleave key cellular proteins and lead to cell death. Apoptosis occurs through the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway or the extrinsic death receptor pathway and plays an important role in development, tissue homeostasis, and defense against infection and cancer. Defects in apoptosis can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer.
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an important physiological process that eliminates unwanted or damaged cells. There are two main pathways that trigger apoptosis - the extrinsic or death receptor pathway, and the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway. The extrinsic pathway involves death receptors and ligands that activate caspase enzymes. The intrinsic pathway occurs in response to cellular stress and involves mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and the release of proteins like cytochrome c. This forms the apoptosome complex and activates caspase-9 and caspase-3, leading to apoptosis. Apoptosis is a highly regulated process involving Bcl-2 family proteins, caspase enzymes, and characteristic morphological changes including cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, and membrane blebbing.

1. Apoptosis is a tightly regulated process of programmed cell death that involves the activation of caspases and degradation of nuclear and cellular components.
2. It can be triggered through intrinsic mitochondrial pathways or extrinsic death receptor pathways and plays an important physiological role in development, immune system maturation, and maintenance of tissue homeostasis.
3. Dysregulation of apoptosis can contribute to cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders by allowing cells to survive inappropriately or undergo excessive cell death.
Apoptosis is a natural and programmed form of cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. It was first described in 1842 and distinguished from necrosis in 1965. During apoptosis, a series of biochemical events lead to changes in the cell and its death, allowing it to be eliminated in a controlled way that does not cause inflammation. This process is regulated by complex signaling pathways within the cell and involves mitochondria, caspases and other components. Defects in apoptosis can result in cancer if cell death is inhibited or neurodegenerative diseases if cell death is excessive.

1. Programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, is essential for proper development and for destroying harmful cells.
2. Apoptosis is regulated by caspases, which are cysteine-dependent aspartate specific proteases. Caspases activate a proteolytic cascade that leads to cell death.
3. There are three main apoptotic pathways: the extrinsic pathway which involves death receptors, the intrinsic pathway which involves the mitochondria, and the granzyme pathway which uses granzymes from cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells.
This document provides an overview of necrosis and apoptosis. It defines necrosis as cell death resulting from external injury to cells, characterized by swelling and organelle breakdown. Apoptosis is defined as tightly regulated programmed cell suicide. The document discusses the morphology of necrosis under light microscopy and different types of necrosis. It then covers the mechanism, morphology, and triggers of apoptosis. Key differences between necrosis and apoptosis are that necrosis elicits inflammation while apoptosis does not and apoptosis is a tightly regulated process.

2. There are two main pathways that initiate apoptosis - the extrinsic pathway which involves death receptors, and the intrinsic pathway which involves the mitochondria. Both pathways activate caspases that execute the cell death program.
3. Disorders of apoptosis can result in disease states like cancer if cells fail to undergo apoptosis in response to damage, or neurodegeneration if excessive apoptosis occurs. A delicate balance of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins regulates apoptosis.

Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes (morphology) and death.
Every cell has a natural life cycle involving birth and death. There are two main types of cell death: necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis is accidental cell death due to external injury, while apoptosis is a carefully regulated process in which cells play an active role in their own death. During apoptosis, cells shrink, break into fragments, and are phagocytosed without causing inflammation. Precisely regulated apoptosis is important for normal development, immune function, and homeostasis, while defects can lead to diseases. Many cancer therapies aim to trigger the apoptosis pathway in tumor cells.
Cell death, particularly apoptosis, is probably one of the
most widely-studied subjects among cell biologists.
Understanding apoptosis in disease conditions is very
important as it not only gives insights into the pathogenesis
of a disease but may also leaves clues on how
the disease can be treated. In cancer, there is a loss of
balance between cell division and cell death and cells
that should have died did not receive the signals to do
so. The problem can arise in any one step along the way
of apoptosis.Apoptosis is an ordered and orchestrated cellular process that occurs in physiological and pathological conditions.
It is also one of the most studied topics among cell biologists. An understanding of the underlying mechanism of
apoptosis is important as it plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. In some, the problem is due
to too much apoptosis, such as in the case of degenerative diseases while in others, too little apoptosis is the
culprit. Cancer is one of the scenarios where too little apoptosis occurs, resulting in malignant cells that will not
die. The mechanism of apoptosis is complex and involves many pathways. Defects can occur at any point along
these pathways, leading to malignant transformation of the affected cells, tumour metastasis and resistance to
anticancer drugs. Despite being the cause of problem, apoptosis plays an important role in the treatment of
cancer as it is a popular target of many treatment strategies. The abundance of literature suggests that targeting
apoptosis in cancer is feasible. However, many troubling questions arise with the use of new drugs or treatment
strategies that are designed to enhance apoptosis and critical tests must be passed before they can be used safely
in human subjects.. It is used,
in contrast to necrosis, to describe the situation in
which a cell actively pursues a course toward death

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a collection of molecules secreted by cells that provides structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells. It is composed of water, proteins, and polysaccharides. The ECM contains collagens, fibronectin, laminins, and proteoglycans. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the ECM and forms fibrils that provide structure. The ECM regulates cell behavior, provides tissue structure and strength, and mediates cell signaling and homeostasis. Genetic defects in ECM proteins can cause diseases like osteogenesis imperfecta or fibrosis.
Phagocytosis is the process by which phagocytes engulf and destroy foreign particles. The key steps are: 1) margination and diapedesis bring phagocytes to the infection site, 2) chemotaxis guides them to pathogens, 3) opsonins coat pathogens for attachment to phagocytes, 4) pseudopods engulf the pathogen into a phagosome, 5) the phagosome fuses with lysosomes to form a phagolysosome, where 6) lysosomal enzymes degrade the pathogen.
The document summarizes programmed cell death or apoptosis. It describes apoptosis as a naturally occurring, genetically programmed process where a cell undergoes an organized breakdown. During apoptosis, cells shrink, break into membrane-bound fragments called apoptotic bodies, and are removed by phagocytes without causing inflammation. The document outlines the major pathways of apoptosis, including the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and extrinsic death receptor pathway, and discusses the roles of caspase proteases and Bcl-2 family proteins in apoptosis signaling and regulation.
Three studies on programmed cell death in plants are summarized:
1. A study showed that heat-induced cell death in cucumber cotyledons resulted in DNA fragmentation and the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol, demonstrating conserved mechanisms with animal apoptosis.
2. A study found that caspase-specific peptide inhibitors effectively inhibited chemically-induced cell death in tomato cells, indicating caspase-like proteases mediate plant apoptotic pathways.
3. A study showed that anthocyanins from black soybeans protected human skin cells from UVB-induced reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, and caspase activation by preventing pro-apoptotic signaling.
Apoptosis is a controlled, programmed cell death process that is essential for normal development and homeostasis. During apoptosis, cells actively trigger intracellular events that lead to cell fragmentation and phagocytosis without causing inflammation. Apoptosis is distinct from necrosis, which is unregulated cell death caused by external cellular injuries. Key aspects of apoptosis include activation of caspases, DNA fragmentation, and changes to cell membranes that mark cells for phagocytosis. Apoptosis pathways can be triggered by extracellular signals or internal cell damage and are important in development, tissue homeostasis, and diseases like cancer when the process goes awry.
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated form of programmed cell death that is controlled by specific genes. During apoptosis, cells fragment their DNA and nuclei and form apoptotic bodies that are phagocytosed by other cells without causing inflammation. This process removes damaged or unnecessary cells in a controlled manner. Apoptosis can be triggered by physiologic processes like development or pathologic conditions like radiation, viral infections, or accumulation of misfolded proteins. It occurs through either the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway involving cytochrome c release or the extrinsic death receptor pathway. Precise genetic control of apoptosis is important for tissue homeostasis and manipulation of these pathways may help treat diseases like cancer.
The document discusses apoptosis (programmed cell death) through three parts:
1) An introduction to apoptosis, its history, and how it is important in development and physiology.
2) The mechanisms and pathways of apoptosis, including caspases, the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway, extrinsic death receptor pathway, and Bcl-2 family of proteins.
3) The importance of apoptosis in normal development and physiology through tissue sculpting, but that defects can lead to diseases like cancer, autoimmunity, and neurodegeneration when there is too much or too little apoptosis.
Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, is a natural process by which cells self-destruct in response to internal or external signals. It is distinct from necrosis in that it involves chromatin condensation, cell shrinkage, and preservation of organelles, allowing for rapid engulfment by neighboring cells without inflammation. Apoptosis is initiated through either the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway or the extrinsic death receptor pathway and is executed by caspases, a family of cysteine proteases. It plays an essential role in development and homeostasis by removing damaged or unneeded cells.

The document discusses the cell cycle and differentiation. It describes the three main stages of the cell cycle as interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Interphase is broken down into Gap 1, synthesis, and Gap 2 phases. Mitosis consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the final stage where the cell physically divides. Differentiation is when unspecialized cells become specialized cell types by turning on and off parts of their DNA. Stem cells can become any cell type while progenitor cells are somewhat specialized.
Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Its polar molecular structure results in uneven charges, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds between molecules. This bonding absorbs heat energy and stabilizes temperature, gives water high surface tension and cohesion, allows capillary action and its ability to dissolve many polar substances, resulting in it being dubbed the "universal solvent."

Water has unique properties primarily due to its polarity. Polarity arises because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, giving water molecules an overall slight charge. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds, contributing to properties like cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, and capillary action. Water is the most abundant naturally occurring liquid on Earth and is unusual in that it expands when frozen.
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death process that occurs in multicellular organisms. During apoptosis, cells undergo changes such as blebbing, shrinkage, and nuclear fragmentation. Between 50-70 billion cells die per day in the human body through apoptosis. Defects in apoptotic processes can lead to diseases such as cancer by allowing non-functional cells to continue proliferating. Apoptosis involves signaling pathways, regulation of mitochondria, caspase activation, and removal of dead cells.
WPC Implementation structure for Vithale ElectricalConrad Sebego
This document outlines the implementation structure for workplace improvement practices at Vithale Electrical. It establishes change agents who will coach and train company teams in best practices like kaizen and kaikaku. The structure includes a process champion, team leaders for areas like production scheduling and wiring, and a plant-level committee. The role of this committee is to develop and monitor the project plan. Next steps include selecting team leaders, setting up meeting areas, and identifying performance measures. Teams 1 through 4 are then listed with assigned members.
The document discusses the use of remote sensing technologies and satellite imagery for geological applications like tailings dam monitoring. It presents SPOT satellite images from January 2002 and April 2002 of evaporation zones and beaches around a slimes dam. Changes are detected between the two dates and the beaches are classified into spectral classes in order to refine monitoring of the dam over time.
The extrinsic apoptosis pathway begins outside the cell when death ligands bind to death receptors on the cell surface. This causes the receptors to cluster and form a death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) which activates initiator caspases. The initiator caspases then activate effector caspases that execute the cell's apoptosis by degrading cellular proteins and organelles. Key events in this pathway include DISC formation, caspase activation, and the eventual phagocytosis of the cell fragments.
This document appears to be a power point presentation submitted by Linimol KS to the Kerala University on the topic of "Adhesion and Cohesion". It defines adhesion as the force of attraction between molecules of different substances and uses examples like water pouring on a taro leaf and mercury on glass to illustrate adhesion and cohesion forces. It also provides examples of when cohesion is more than adhesion and vice versa.
The document discusses several key properties of fluids relevant for fluid mechanics, including:
1) Fluids can be modeled as continua when the number of molecules is sufficiently large at any point.
2) For static fluids, the only stress is normal stress since shear stress would induce motion.
3) Pressure in static fluids varies only with elevation and is constant at any horizontal plane.
4) Pressure measurement devices like manometers use fluid statics principles to determine pressure differences.
Cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis and cancerSurender Rawat
1. The document discusses various aspects of the cell cycle, including its key phases and regulating molecules. It notes that the cell cycle includes growth, DNA replication, chromosome separation, and cytokinesis.
2. Major regulatory molecules discussed include cyclins, CDKs, Rb protein, and checkpoints like START that ensure DNA damage is repaired before progression.
3. External factors like nutrients and growth signals regulate the cell cycle at transition points like the G1/S boundary through pathways involving cyclins, CDKs, and Rb.
Cell senescence is the natural deterioration process that slows down and ends the functional life of a cell. It is indicated by a decline in the specialized functions of non-dividing cells and a decline in the division capacity of actively dividing cells. During senescence, cells undergo morphological, physiological, and subcellular changes, such as nuclear condensation, accumulation of lipofuscin pigment, loss of organelle function, and membrane changes. Several theories attempt to explain senescence, including DNA damage accumulation, telomere shortening, and free radical damage. Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is the controlled suicide of cells activated by internal or external death signals through caspase enzymes in a process that neatly eliminates
Apoptosis and necrosis are two types of cell death. Apoptosis is a regulated process where cells actively cause their own death, minimizing harm to surrounding cells and tissue. It occurs normally during development and to remove damaged cells, and is controlled through caspase activation via intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. In contrast, necrosis is unregulated cell death caused by external factors like toxins or trauma. Apoptosis plays important roles in development, tissue homeostasis, and diseases like cancer when its regulation is disrupted. The cell cycle and checkpoints also interact with apoptosis to control cell proliferation and death.
The document defines key terms and concepts used in soil mechanics, including:
- Soil is a three-phase material containing solid particles, water, and air within voids.
- Parameters like voids ratio, porosity, degree of saturation, specific gravity describe the relationships between phases.
- Unit weights (dry, saturated, bulk) relate the weight of soil to its volume.
- Moisture content relates the weight of water to the weight of solids.
Two examples are given to demonstrate calculating volumetric distributions, unit weights, moisture content, and other properties using the defined terms.
This document discusses methods for preliminary cost estimates of construction projects. It defines preliminary estimates as a way to forecast potential project costs early in the design process. Three common methods are described: unit method, which estimates costs based on units like students or beds; cubic method, which calculates volumetric costs; and floor area method, which estimates costs per square meter. Each method has advantages like speed but also disadvantages like lack of design detail. Experience is needed to select the appropriate preliminary estimate method based on available information and project type.
The document discusses several key properties of water including its polarity, hydrogen bonding, and resulting high heat capacity and surface tension. It also describes water's role in moderating temperatures on Earth and its importance as the universal solvent for biochemical reactions and life. Water's density peak at 4°C allows ice to float, preserving aquatic ecosystems.
Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids and forces on them. The history dates back to Ancient Greeks like Archimedes who developed the law of buoyancy. Islamic physicists in the 11th century were the first to apply experimental methods to fluid statics. In the 17th century, Blaise Pascal and Isaac Newton made important contributions and established hydrostatics as a science. Leonhard Euler applied calculus to fluid motion equations. In the 19th century, Hermann von Helmholtz established laws of vortex motion. Real-life applications include Bernoulli's principle in aerodynamics and hydraulics.
The document discusses the molecular structure and properties of water. It notes that water is a polar molecule, with slightly positive and negative ends due to the uneven sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other and other polar substances. The hydrogen bonding between water molecules gives water many unique properties that help to moderate Earth's temperature and make it suitable for life, including its high heat capacity, ability to change state from solid to liquid to gas, and ability to dissolve many other substances.
The document provides an introduction to soil mechanics and soil types. It defines soil mechanics as the branch of engineering that deals with the properties and behavior of soil. It discusses the different types of soils based on their geological origin such as glacial soil, residual soil, alluvial soil, and aeolian soil. It also classifies soils based on engineering properties such as clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders. The key factors that influence the engineering behavior of soils like particle size, shape, mineral composition are also highlighted.
physiology of apoptosis first year mbbs medical.pdfDratoshKatiyar
The document summarizes apoptosis (programmed cell death) through three parts:
Part 1 introduces apoptosis, its history, morphological hallmarks, and provides examples of apoptosis in development including web-footed chickens.
Part 2 describes the key mechanisms and pathways of apoptosis including caspases, the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway involving Bcl-2 proteins and p53, and the extrinsic death receptor pathway.
Part 3 outlines the importance of apoptosis in normal physiology and development and consequences of deregulated apoptosis such as neurodegeneration when in excess and cancer when deficient.
The document discusses apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It begins by defining apoptosis and explaining that it is a normal physiological process in multicellular organisms for tissue homeostasis and development. Apoptosis is regulated by both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic factors like the Bcl-2 family of proteins. It involves characteristic morphological and biochemical changes in cells, including blebbing, nuclear fragmentation, and DNA fragmentation. Caspases play a central role in apoptosis by activating a cascade of proteolytic enzymes. Apoptosis occurs through both the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and the extrinsic death receptor pathway.
This document provides an overview of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It begins with an introduction defining apoptosis and its importance in development, aging, and disease. It then describes the main types and mechanisms of apoptosis, including the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. Key features of apoptosis like morphology, assays to detect it, and differences from necrosis are summarized. The document concludes by discussing other forms of programmed cell death and clinical applications of understanding apoptosis.
Apoptosis (Intrinsic And Extrinsic Pathway with assays)227777222an
- Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs under normal physiological conditions and involves the active participation of the cell. It is important for development and homeostasis.
- The intrinsic pathway is mitochondria-mediated and does not require receptor activation. It is triggered by intracellular signals like DNA damage or lack of growth factors. This causes changes in mitochondrial permeability and the release of pro-apoptotic factors like cytochrome c.
- Cytochrome c activates caspase-9 through the apoptosome complex, leading to caspase-3 activation and cell death. The process is regulated by Bcl-2 family proteins that control mitochondrial permeability.
The intrinsic pathway of apoptosis is triggered by intracellular stress signals like DNA damage or lack of growth factors. The Bcl-2 family of proteins regulate mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization which leads to the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. Cytochrome c binds to Apaf-1 and procaspase-9 to form the apoptosome, activating caspase-9 and the downstream caspase-3, resulting in apoptosis. This pathway does not require death receptors and is instead initiated by internal damage signals within the cell.
The document provides an overview of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It describes the three main pathways that can trigger apoptosis: the extrinsic or death receptor pathway, the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway, and the perforin/granzyme pathway. The pathways activate initiator caspases that go on to activate executioner caspases, leading to characteristic cell changes like nuclear fragmentation and membrane blebbing. Apoptotic cells are then phagocytosed to prevent inflammation.
The document summarizes key aspects of apoptosis including:
- The origins and definition of the term apoptosis from Greek meaning "falling leaves".
- The significance of apoptosis in development and maintenance of tissues by removing excess or damaged cells.
- The morphological features of apoptosis including membrane blebbing, nuclear fragmentation, and formation of apoptotic bodies.
- The molecular mechanisms including caspase signaling pathways like the intrinsic pathway involving mitochondria and the extrinsic pathway involving death receptors.
- Regulatory mechanisms involving proteins like Bcl-2 that balance survival and death signals.
- Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and HIV infection.
This document summarizes programmed cell death or apoptosis. It discusses the distinct modalities of programmed cell death including apoptosis, autophagy and necroptosis. It covers the role of programmed cell death in disease, the mechanisms and molecular regulators involved in different types of cell death, methods to detect programmed cell death, and the therapeutic potential of modulating programmed cell death pathways.
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated form of programmed cell death that plays an important role in tissue homeostasis, development, and the immune system. It is characterized by fragmentation of DNA and the nucleus. There are two main pathways that trigger apoptosis - the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and the extrinsic death receptor pathway - which both activate caspases and lead to dismantling of the cell. Apoptosis is important for removing damaged, unneeded, or infected cells, and balancing it with cell proliferation is critical for health.
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated and programmed form of cell death that is essential for tissue homeostasis. It is characterized by nuclear fragmentation, membrane blebbing, and phagocytosis of cellular debris without inflammation. The intrinsic pathway is mediated by mitochondria and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, while the extrinsic pathway involves death receptors and caspase activation. Caspases are cysteine proteases that dismantle the cell through cleavage of structural proteins and DNA. Apoptosis must be balanced, as too little can lead to cancer and too much can contribute to diseases.
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death process that occurs normally during development and aging and as a defense mechanism. There are two main pathways of apoptosis - the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway initiated from within the cell, and the extrinsic death receptor pathway initiated from outside the cell. Both pathways involve caspase proteins that activate a caspase cascade leading to characteristic cell changes and death. Apoptosis must be tightly regulated as both insufficient and excessive apoptosis can lead to disorders.
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death process that occurs in multicellular organisms. It is characterized by cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, and global mRNA decay. Apoptosis ensures the orderly disposal of cells and occurs during normal cell turnover, development, and aging. It also helps remove infected, damaged or unnecessary cells. There are two main pathways of apoptosis - the intrinsic pathway which is triggered by intracellular signals within the cell, and the extrinsic pathway which is initiated by activation of cell surface death receptors by extracellular ligands. Both pathways activate caspases, a family of cysteine proteases, that trigger the degradation of proteins and DNA fragmentation that leads to cell death. Deregulation of apoptosis can contribute to diseases like cancer
Apoptosis - programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organismsMeethuRappai1
This document defines apoptosis and describes the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways that regulate programmed cell death. Apoptosis is characterized by activation of enzymes that degrade a cell's nuclear DNA and proteins. It can be triggered through intrinsic signals like DNA damage or extrinsic factors like death receptors. Both pathways activate caspases that execute apoptosis. Phagocytosis efficiently removes apoptotic cells to prevent inflammation. Dysregulation of apoptosis can cause cancer if cells survive too long or neurodegenerative diseases if excessive cell death occurs.
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that is mediated by activation of caspases. It plays an important role in both physiological processes like development and pathological conditions like DNA damage. The key features of apoptosis include cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, formation of apoptotic bodies, and phagocytosis of cell fragments without eliciting inflammation. The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways initiate apoptosis through an imbalance of survival and death signals within cells.
This document discusses apoptosis and necrosis. It begins by outlining the objectives of describing the differences between necrosis and apoptosis, the mechanisms and pathways of apoptosis, and implications of cellular aging. Necrosis is defined as progressive cell disintegration initiated by overwhelming stress, while apoptosis is a tightly regulated suicide program. The intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and extrinsic death receptor pathway converge in the execution phase through caspase activation, resulting in DNA fragmentation and phagocytosis of apoptotic bodies without inflammation. Physiologic and pathologic examples of apoptosis are provided.
Cell death, or apoptosis, is a tightly regulated process that is essential for development and tissue homeostasis. It occurs through two main pathways: the death receptor pathway and the mitochondrial pathway. The balance between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins determines whether a cell undergoes apoptosis. Caspases are cysteine proteases that are either initiators or executioners of apoptosis. Impaired apoptosis can lead to diseases like cancer, autoimmunity, and neurodegeneration. Necrosis was traditionally thought to be unregulated cell death, but recent evidence shows some forms of necrosis can be programmed.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

4. INTRODUCTION
• Apoptosis is a pathway of cell death that is
induced by a tightly regulated suicide program
in which cells destined to die activate enzymes
that degrade the cells’ own nuclear DNA and
nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins.
• Apoptotic cells break up into fragments, called
apoptotic bodies.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. • This process was recognized in 1972 by the
distinctive morphologic appearance of membrane-
bound fragments derived from cells, and named
after the Greek designation for “falling off ”.
• The process of apoptosis in mammalian cells is
transpired from the investigation of programmed
cell death that occurs during the development of
the nematode C. elegans (Horvitz, 1999).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. • Apoptosis occurs normally during development
and aging and as a homeostatic mechanism to
maintain cell populations in tissues.
• Apoptosis also occurs as a defense mechanism
such as in immune reactions or when cells are
damaged by disease or noxious agents.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. • Although there are a wide variety of stimuli
and conditions, both physiological and
pathological, that can trigger apoptosis, not
all cells will necessarily die in response to
the same stimulus.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. • Apoptosis is a coordinated and often
energy-dependent process that involves the
activation of a group of cysteine proteases
called “caspases” and a complex cascade
of events that link the initiating stimuli to
the final demise of the cell.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. MORPHOLOGY OF APOPTOSIS
• Cell shrinkage.
• Chromatin condensation.
• Formation of cytoplasmic
blebs and apoptotic bodies.
• Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells
or cell bodies, usually by
macrophages.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. • Macrophages that engulf and digest apoptotic
cells are called “tingible body macrophages”
and are frequently found within the reactive
germinal centers of lymphoid follicles or
occasionally within the thymic cortex.
The tingible bodies
are the bits of nuclear
debris from the
apoptotic cells.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. • On histologic examination with hematoxylin
and eosin stain, apoptosis involves single cells
or small clusters of cells.
• The apoptotic cell appears as a round or oval
mass with dark eosinophilic cytoplasm and
dense purple nuclear chromatin fragments.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. DISTINGUISHING APOPTOSIS
FROM NECROSIS
• The alternative to apoptotic cell death is
necrosis, which is considered to be a toxic
process where the cell is a passive victim
and follows an energy-independent mode of
death.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. COMPARISON OF MORPHOLOGICAL
FEATURES OF APOPTOSIS AND
NECROSIS
APOPTOSIS
• Single cells or small
clusters of cells.
• Cell shrinkage and
convolution.
• Pyknosis and karyorrhexis.
• Intact cell membrane.
• Cytoplasm retained in
apoptotic bodies.
• No inflammation.
NECROSIS
• Often contiguous cells.
• Cell swelling.
• Karyolysis, pyknosis and
karyorrhexis.
• Disrupted cell membrane.
• Cytoplasm released.
• Inflammation usually
present.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. IS APOPTOSIS AN IRREVERSIBLE
PROCESS?
• Until recently, apoptosis has traditionally been
considered an irreversible process with caspase
activation committing a cell to death and the
engulfment genes serving the purpose of dead cell
removal.
• However, the uptake and clearance of apoptotic
cells by macrophages may involve more than just the
removal of cell debris.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. • Hoeppner et al. have shown that blocking
engulfment genes in C. elegans embryos
enhances cell survival when cells are
subjected to weak pro-apoptotic signals.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. • Reddien et al. demonstrated that, in C.
elegans, mutations that cause partial loss of
function of killer genes allow the survival of
some cells that are programmed to die via
apoptosis, and mutations in engulfment genes
enhance the frequency of this cell survival.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. • Moreover, mutations in engulfment genes
alone allowed the survival and differentiation
of some cells that were otherwise destined to
die via apoptosis.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF
APOPTOSIS
• Activation of Caspases.
• DNA and Protein Breakdown.
• Membrane Alterations and Recognition by
Phagocytes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Activation Of Caspases
• A specific feature of apoptosis is the activation
of several members of a family of cysteine
proteases named caspases.
• Caspases have proteolytic activity and are able
to cleave proteins at aspartic acid residues.
• Once caspases are initially activated, there
seems to be an irreversible commitment towards
cell death.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. Ten major caspases have been identified and
broadly categorized into:
• Initiators (caspase-2,-8,-9,-10),
• Effectors or executioners (caspase-3,-6,-7),
• Inflammatory caspases (caspase-1,-4,-5)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. • Like many proteases, caspases exist as
inactive pro-enzymes and must undergo an
enzymatic cleavage to become active.
• The presence of cleaved, active caspases is a
marker for cells undergoing apoptosis.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. DNA and Protein Breakdown
• DNA breakdown by Ca2+and
Mg2+dependent endonucleases also
occurs, resulting in DNA fragments of
180 to 200 base pairs (Bortner et al.,
1995).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. • A characteristic “DNA ladder” can be visualized
by agarose gel electrophoresis with an ethidium
bromide stain and ultraviolet illumination.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. Membrane Alterations and Recognition
by Phagocytes
• The plasma membrane of apoptotic cells
changes in ways that promote the
recognition of the dead cells by
phagocytes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. • One of these changes is the movement of some
phospholipids (phosphatidylserine) from the
inner leaflet to the outer leaflet of the membrane,
where they are recognized by a number of
receptors on phagocytes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. • Although externalization of phosphatidylserine
is a well-known recognition ligand for
phagocytes on the surface of the apoptotic cell,
recent studies have shown that other proteins
are also be exposed on the cell surface during
apoptotic cell clearance.
• These include Annexin I and calreticulin.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. • These lipids are also detectable by binding
of a protein called annexin V.
• Thus, annexin V staining is commonly used
to identify apoptotic cells.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29. MECHANISMS OF APOPTOSIS
• The mechanisms of apoptosis are highly
complex and sophisticated, involving an
energy-dependent cascade of molecular events.
• To date, research indicates that there are two
main apoptotic pathways: the extrinsic or
death receptor pathway and the intrinsic or
mitochondrial pathway.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. • There is an additional pathway that involves T-
cell mediated cytotoxicity and perforin-
granzyme-dependent killing of the cell.
• The perforin/granzyme pathway can induce
apoptosis via either granzyme B or granzyme A.
• The extrinsic, intrinsic, and granzyme pathways
converge on the same terminal, or execution
pathway.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. The Intrinsic (Mitochondrial) Pathway
of Apoptosis
• The mitochondrial pathway is the major
mechanism of apoptosis in all mammalian cells.
• This pathway of apoptosis is the result of
increased mitochondrial permeability and release
of pro-apoptotic molecules (death inducers) into
the cytoplasm.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. • There is release of two main groups of normally
sequestered pro-apoptotic proteins from the
intermembrane space into the cytosol.
• The first group consists of cytochrome c, Smac,
and the serine protease HtrA2/Omi.
• These proteins activate the caspase-dependent
mitochondrial pathway.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. • The second group of pro-apoptotic proteins,
AIF, endonuclease G and CAD, are released
from the mitochondria during apoptosis, but
this is a late event that occurs after the cell
has committed to die.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. • The control and regulation of these apoptotic
mitochondrial events occurs through members
of the Bcl-2 family of proteins.
• The Bcl-2 family of proteins governs
mitochondrial membrane permeability and can
be either pro-apoptotic or anti apoptotic.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. • To date, a total of 25 genes have been
identified in the Bcl-2 family.
• Some of the anti-apoptotic proteins include
Bcl-2, Bcl-x, Bcl-XL, Bcl-XS, Bcl-w, BAG.
• Some of the pro-apoptotic proteins include
Bcl-10, Bax, Bak, Bid, Bad, Bim, Bik, and
Blk.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. • These proteins have special significance since they
can determine if the cell commits to apoptosis or
aborts the process.
• It is thought that the main mechanism of action of
the Bcl-2 family of proteins is the regulation of
cytochrome c release from the mitochondria via
alteration of mitochondrial membrane permeability.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. The Extrinsic (Death Receptor–Initiated)
Pathway of Apoptosis
• This pathway is initiated by engagement of
plasma membrane death receptors on a
variety of cells.
• Death receptors are members of the TNF
receptor family that contain a cytoplasmic
domain involved in protein-protein interactions
that is called the death domain because it is
essential for delivering apoptotic signals.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. • To date, the best-characterized ligands and
corresponding death receptors include
FasL/FasR, TNF-α/TNFR1, Apo3L/DR3,
Apo2L/DR4 and Apo2L/DR5.
• The sequence of events that define the extrinsic
phase of apoptosis are best characterized with
the FasL/FasR and TNF-α/TNFR1 models.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte–Mediated
Apoptosis
• Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize
foreign antigens presented on the surface of
infected host cells.
• Upon activation, CTLs secrete perforin, a
transmembrane pore-forming molecule, which
promotes entry of the CTL granule serine
proteases called granzyme A and granzyme B.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. • Granzyme B have the ability to cleave
proteins at aspartate residues and thus
activate a variety of cellular caspases.
• Granzyme A is also important in cytotoxic
T cell induced apoptosis and activates
caspase independent pathways.

45. Execution Pathway
• The extrinsic and intrinsic pathways both end at
the point of the execution phase, considered
the final pathway of apoptosis.
• After an initiator caspase is cleaved to generate
its active form, the enzymatic death program is
set in motion by rapid and sequential
activation of the executioner caspases.

47. Removal of Dead Cells
• Phagocytic uptake of apoptotic cells is the last
component of apoptosis.
• Phospholipid asymmetry and externalization
of phosphatidylserine on the surface of
apoptotic cells and their fragments is the
hallmark of this phase.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. • Although the mechanism of phosphatidylserine
translocation to the outer leaflet of the cell
during apoptosis is not well understood, it has
been associated with loss of aminophospholipid
translocase activity.

49. • The appearance of phosphotidylserine on the
outer leaflet of apoptotic cells then facilitates
non-inflammatory phagocytic recognition,
allowing for their early uptake and disposal.
• This process of early and efficient uptake with
no release of cellular constituents, results in
essentially no inflammatory response.

50. APOPTOSIS IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE
Apoptosis in Physiologic Situations:
• The programmed destruction of cells during
embryogenesis, including implantation, organogenesis
& developmental involution.
• Involution of hormone-dependent tissues upon
hormone withdrawal, such as endometrial cell
breakdown during the menstrual cycle, ovarian
follicular atresia in menopause, the regression of the
lactating breast after weaning.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. • Cell loss in proliferating cell populations,
such as immature lymphocytes in the bone
marrow and thymus that fail to express
useful antigen receptors, B lymphocytes in
germinal centers, and epithelial cells in
intestinal crypts, so as to maintain a constant
number (homeostasis).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. • Elimination of potentially harmful self-
reactive lymphocytes, either before or after they
have completed their maturation, so as to prevent
reactions against one's own tissues.
• Death of host cells that have served their
useful purpose, such as neutrophils in an acute
inflammatory response, and lymphocytes at the
end of an immune response.

53. Pathologic Apoptosis
• DNA damage- Exposure of cells to radiation
or chemotherapeutic agents induces
apoptosis by a mechanism that is initiated by
DNA damage and that involves the tumor-
suppressor gene p53.
• Accumulation of misfolded proteins- in ER
leads to a condition called ER stress which
culminates in apoptotic cell death.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. Disorders Associated with
Dysregulated Apoptosis
• Disorders associated with defective apoptosis
and increased cell survival- if cells that carry
mutations in p53 are subjected to DNA
damage, the cells not only fail to die but are
susceptible to the accumulation of mutations
because of defective DNA repair, and these
abnormalities can give rise to cancer.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. • Disorders associated with increased apoptosis
and excessive cell death- These diseases are
characterized by a loss of cells and include-
(1) neurodegenerative diseases, manifested by loss
of specific sets of neurons, in which apoptosis is
caused by mutations and misfolded proteins.
(2) ischemic injury, as in myocardial infarction and
stroke.
(3) death of virus-infected cells, in many viral
infections. www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. CONCLUSION
• Apoptosis is regarded as a carefully
regulated energy dependent process,
characterized by specific morphological
and biochemical features in which
caspase activation plays a central role.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. • Although many of the key apoptotic proteins
that are activated or inactivated in the
apoptotic pathways have been identified, the
molecular mechanisms of action or activation
of these proteins are not fully understood and
are the focus of continued research.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. • The importance of understanding the
mechanistic machinery of apoptosis is vital
because programmed cell death is a
component of both health and disease, being
initiated by various physiologic and
pathologic stimuli.
