Q

In the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, damage to mitochondria typically leads to the release of what pro-apoptotic molecule? What do this molecule trigger?

A

Primarily Cytochrome C; caspase cascade

17
Q

What other type of response leads to apoptosis?

A

Unfolded protein response

18
Q

The extrinsic pathway of apoptosis is initiated by what?

A

Engagement of death receptors (TNF receptor family and paired Fas ligand (CD95))

19
Q

What are two features that differentiate apoptosis from necrosis?

A

Individual cells, absence of acute inflammatory cells

20
Q

Describe the appearance of DNA fragments on a DNA agarose gel. (Normal, apoptosis, necrosis)
