Apoptosis

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
apoptosis   programmed cell death, result in safe removal of cellular debris  
🗑
morphology   1. membrane blebbing 2. loss of membrane asymmetry and attachment 3. cell shrinkage and nuclear fragmentation 4. chromatin condensation and chromosomal DNA fragmentation  
🗑
process   1. apoptosis begins, condensation of chromosome 2. nucleus fragments, Dna is digested (laddering), cytoplasm fragments 3. apoptotic bodies are ingested by phagocytic cells  
🗑
role in normal physiology   development and metamorphosis adaptive immune response  
🗑
role in disease   control of cell growth and proliferation removes damage cell activate killer cells  
🗑
excessive apo.   stroke, neurodegeneration leading to alzheimer and parkinson  
🗑
defective apo.   neoplasie, autoimmune syndromes  
🗑
Detection with ANNEXIN V   late stage; plasma membrane is compromised and nucleic acid dyes are allowed to entrance the cell and bind with DNA- marker for apoptosis  
🗑
caspases   central component for apo. -> cleavage of proteins. detection by immunoblotting tech.using caspase specific antibody or a dye.  
🗑
intrinsic pathway   triggered by non-receptor stimuli internal damage;bcl2 inhibition by bac; making holes in MOMP &cytochrome c leakage. cyto-c-Apaf1 complex-apoptosome;activate caspase 9,cleaves and activates 3&7 leading to digestion os structural protein&dna  
🗑
bcl2   on the membrane of a healthy cell, inhibits apoptosis  
🗑
caspases   caspase cascade activated by proteolytic cleavage of precursor DED and CARD domain executioner caspases  
🗑
DED domain   death effector domain - regulate cellular signalling pathways  
🗑
CARD domain   activation and recruitment of caspases  
🗑
executioner caspases   6,3,7  
🗑
apoptosis inducing factor AIF   does not use caspases, located at intermembrane space of mitochondria, one signal ; released from mito. migrate to nuclus and binds to DNA where it triggers its destruction  
🗑
extrinsic pathway   external signal join with death receptor (FASL or TNF). signal transmitted to cytoplasm activating caspase 8 that initiates the cascade of caspases activation. phagocytosis  
🗑
proteolysis   hydrolytic breakdown of proteins into simpler substance  
🗑
pro- apoptotic   enhance apoptosis BAX, BID, BAD, BIM  
🗑
anti apoptotic   inhibits apoptosis Bcl, BCL-XL  
🗑
in cancer   increased expression of BCL2 so it stops the apoptosis of proliferating cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
