What is apoptosis? a normal component of the development and health of mul6cellular organisms. response to a variety of s6muli and during apoptosis they do so in a controlled, regulated fashion. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, 2
distinct from necrosis in which uncontrolled cell death leads to lysis of cells, in;lammatory responses and, potentially, to serious health problems. a process in which cells play an active role in their own death (which is why apoptosis is often referred to as cell suicide) What is apoptosis? 3
Apoptosis is a normal self- destruc3on mechanism 4
Stages of apoptosis (A). The breakdown of chroma6n in the nucleus (B). Cells con6nue to shrink (C), packaging themselves into a form that allows for their removal by macrophages (D) Small vesicles called apopto6c bodies are also some6mes observed

9 Mechanisms that induce apoptosis
intrinsic signals à cellular stress. Cellular stress exposure to radia6on or chemicals or viral infec6on growth factor depriva6on or oxida6ve stress caused by free radicals. In general intrinsic signals ini6ate apoptosis via the involvement of the mitochondria à the rela6ve ra6os of the various bcl- 2 proteins Apoptosis induction 10

too little apoptosis à cancer mutations may prevent cells from undergoing apoptosis. tumors can be difficult to kill à resistant to chemical or damaging agents Understanding how apoptosis is regulated in cancer is therefore of major interest in the development of treatments for this disease. Apoptosis in health and disease 25
too much apoptosis For example in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's Diseases apoptosis is thought to account for much of the cell death and the progressive loss of neurons. Apoptosis in health and disease 26
trophoblast cells to remodel the maternal blood vessels and help establish and maintain a successful pregnancy. excessive apoptosis of the trophoblast cells is thought to be implicated in the failure to fully remodel the maternal environment that is observed in complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia. Apoptosis in health and disease 27
progression of many auto-immune diseases. rheumatoid arthritis excessive proliferation of synovial cells is thought to be due in part to the resistance of these cells to apoptotic stimuli. Apoptosis in health and disease 28
