P53 activates which apoptosis mediators & effect?
BAX & PUMA
Pro-apoptosis
Transcription factors activated during myocardial hypertrophy
GATA4
NFAT
MEF2
What molecule type is affected in atrophy?
Proteins
Reduced synthesis and increased degradation
BH3-Only sensors

What do activated BAX & BAK do?
Form channels in mitochondria membrane -> cytochrome C leakage -> intrinsic apoptosis
What happens to cytoplasmic cytochrome c?
Binds to Apaf-1 -> forms apoptosome -> activates Caspase 9
Intrinsic apoptosis pathway Caspase
Caspase 9
