Apoptosis - Definition
A pathway of cell death induced by a tightly
regulated suicidal program, in which the
cells destined to die activate enzymes that
degrade cells own nuclear DNA and nuclear,
cytoplasmic proteins.

Significance of apoptosis
In human body about one lakh cells are produced every second by mitosis
and a similar number die by apoptosis (Vaux and Korsmayer ,1999, cell)
Between 50 and 70 billion cells die each day due to apoptosis in the
average human adult. For an average child between the ages of 8 and 14,
approximately 20 billion to 30 billion cells die a day. ( Karam, Jose A.
(2009). Apoptosis in Carcinogenesis and Chemotherapy.
Netherlands: Springer. ISBN 978-1-4020-9597-9)

Caspases
Caspase-3
key effector in the apoptosis pathway, amplifying the signal from
initiator caspases and signifying full commitment to cellular
disassembly.

Initiation
Absence of stimuli - hormones, growth factors
Activation of receptors TNF family
Heat ,radiation, chemicals
Genetically programmed events

Regulation of apoptosis
Regulatory proteins BCL -2, equivalent
to CED -9
Apoptosis depends on binding of BCL -2
with pro apoptotic and anti apoptotic
proteins.
Situated in the outer mitochondrial
membrane.
Apaf -1 equivalent to CED -4.
Tp 53, caspases, BAX, viruses such as
adeno, papilloma , hepatitis B.

Intracellular signals
Oxidative damage from free radicals, Radiation, Virus infection, Nutrient
deprivation, Pro-apoptotic Factors
Damage to the mitochondrial membrane increasing permeability
Entry of Cytochrome C into the
cytoplasm
Cytochrome C binds to Apaf-1 forming an
apoptosome
Apoptosome activates procaspase-9 to
caspase-9
Caspase-9 cleaves and activates caspase-3 and
caspase-7.
This executioner caspases activate a cascade of proteolytic activity that leads
to: Chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, Protein cleavage, Membrane
permeability
