Conference: apoptosis and cell necrosis Flashcards
this is the breakdown of the protein-rich cytoskeleton by the caspases
cell shrinkage
when a cell detaches its cytoskeleton causing the membrane to sell into spherical bubbles
Blebbing
with inflammation, eliminated debridement, affects group of contagious cells
necrosis
with localized effects that destroys individual cells, genetically programmed, and energy (ATP)-dependent
apoptosis
no membrane blebbing, has cell swelling and lysis and is pathological only
necrosis
membrane blebbing occurs, no inflammatory response, requires energy
apoptosis
known as the mitochondrial pathway, initiated by exposure to ROS, uses CASPASE-9 as an initiator
intrinsic pathway
uses CASPASE-8 as an initiator also known as death receptor pathway
extrinsic pathway
this inhibits the conversion of procaspase-3 to its active form
Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs)
this inhibits the conversion of procaspase-8 to its active form (caspase-8)
FLICE-inhibitory protein (FLIP)
activation of this gene upregulates transcription of BAX
p53
inhibits loss of membrane potential, it is antiapoptotic
BCL-2
this expression is increased on monocytes, macrophages and natural killer cells
FasL expression
this expression in increased in CD4 and CD8-positive T cells and B cells
Fas expression
