Cell Death—Apoptosis
Definition:
+ Apoptosisis a greek word hat means "falling off.”
© Itis both physiological as well as pathological cell death.
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in apoptosis.
© It is a programmed cell death, now known as Caspase
Dependent Programmed Cell Death.
ATP Usage:
‘© There willbe the usage of ATP.

Inflammation:
‘© Noinflammation will occur. 3

Mechanism of Apoptosis,
‘The mechanism is classified into two processes.
1, Initiation
It is dependent on Caspase 8, 9, and 10, There are two
pathways toapoptosis initiation,
a, Extrinsic Pathway:
i, Ihappenson the surface of the cell
ii, The cell wanting to die will have CD95 / Fas, and the
supporting Tell will have CD9S Ligand /Fas Ligand.
ili, I leads to the occurrence of Trimerisation of CD95/
Fas
iv. The Fas Associated Death Domain (FADD) will
activate Procaspase 8, 10 into Caspase 8, 10.
The process is inhibited by FLIP (ant
molecule)
Vi, Itisalso called Death receptor pathway.
b. Intrinsic Pathway:

ii, Ithappens within the cell.
occurs when the cells undergo stress.
iv. The stress is detected by the stress sensors: BIM, BID,
BAD,NOXAand PUMA.
v. The sensor increases the pro-apoptotic factor and
decreases the anti-apoptotic factors.
vi. The Apoptosome activates Procaspase 9 into Caspase

‘Types of Autophagy
Four types of mechanisms for autophagy:
1. Macro-Autophagy
2. Micro-Autophagy
3. Chaperone Mediated Autophagy (CMA)
4, Mitophagy

+ Eating of Endoplasmic Reticulum and Ribosomes occurs
= ULK1 COMPLEX starts the formation of the plate called
Phagophore.
‘© Plate will gradually elongate and become bigger.
© BECLIN-1 helpsinelongation.
‘= LC3 (Light Chain 3) completes the full plate formation and
now the plate is called Auto-Phagosome (APS).
«= Auto-Phagosome fuse with the lysosome to form
‘Autophagolysosome (APLS).
‘© Finally, all the substrates are broken inside the APLS.

‘© mTOR decides the fate of autophagy.

2, Micro Autophagy :1000
‘© Simplest process.
«© Direct uptakeby lysosomes via endocytosis.
3. CMA
‘© CMAstands for Chaperone Mediated Autophagy.
+ Chaperon corrects misfolded protein.
Examples of Chaperone
«© HSP (Heat Shock Proteins)
Mechanism of CMA.
‘© Chaperone binds with misfolded protein.
+ The complex enters the lysosome via LAMP 2A (Lysosome
‘Associated Membrane Protein 2A) for autophagy.
Q. LAMP2Ais used in which mechanism?

Cellular Ageing coats
Causes of Cellular Ageing:
© Free jury (via chemicals, poisons and pollution) is
themost common cause of ageing.
Telomere shortening
© Insulinresistance
© DNArepairdefects
‘Telomere Shortening co2s83
© Thousands of telomeres are present at the terminal end of
chromosomes from human birth.
‘* Onetelomere sequence: TTAGGG.
‘© With each cell division, telomeres become shorter, thus
ageing occurs.
* Thiscanbe prevented by "Telomerase".
«Telomerase isa RNA Dependent DNA Polymerase enzyme.
«Telomerase is very famously known as "Immortality Gene”
