APOPTOSIS: An overview

INTRODUCTION Cell death by injury -Mechanical damage -Exposure to toxic chemicals Cell death by suicide -Internal signals -External signals

Apoptosis plays a major role from embryonic development to senescence. Conted….. Apoptosis or programmed cell death, is carefully coordinated collapse of cell, protein degradation , DNA fragmentation followed by rapid engulfment of corpses by neighbouring cells. (Tommi, 2002) Essential part of life for every multicellular organism from worms to humans. (Faddy et al.,1992) Apoptosis plays a major role from embryonic development to senescence.

Why should a cell commit suicide? Apoptosis is needed for proper development Examples: The resorption of the tadpole tail The formation of the fingers and toes of the fetus The sloughing off of the inner lining of the uterus The formation of the proper connections between neurons in the brain Apoptosis is needed to destroy cells Cells infected with viruses Cells of the immune system Cells with DNA damage Cancer cells

What makes a cell decide to commit suicide? Withdrawal of positive signals examples : growth factors for neurons Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Receipt of negative signals increased levels of oxidants within the cell damage to DNA by oxidants death activators : Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-) Lymphotoxin (TNF-β) Fas ligand (FasL)

History of cell death / apoptosis research 1800s Numerous observation of cell death 1908 Mechnikov wins Nobel prize (phagocytosis) 1930-40 Studies of metamorphosis 1948-49 Cell death in chick limb & exploration of NGF 1955 Beginning of studies of lysomes 1964-66 Necrosis & PCD described 1971 Term apoptosis coined 1977 Cell death genes in C. elegans 1980-82 DNA ladder observed & ced-3 identified 1989-91 Apoptosis genes identified, including bcl-2, fas/apo1 & p53, ced-3 sequenced (Richerd et.al., 2001)

Necrosis vs. Apoptosis Necrosis Apoptosis Cellular swelling Membranes are broken ATP is depleted Cell lyses, eliciting an inflammatory reaction DNA fragmentation is random, or smeared In vivo, whole areas of the tissue are affected Cellular condensation Membranes remain intact Requires ATP Cell is phagocytosed, no tissue reaction Ladder-like DNA fragmentation In vivo, individual cells appear affected

Capsase activation Comparison between active and inactive forms of caspases.   Newly produced caspases are inactive.  Specifically cleaved caspases will dimerize and become active.

The role of caspase During apoptosis, the cell is killed by a class of proteases called caspases.   More than 10 caspases have been identified.  Some of them (e.g., caspase 8 and 10) are involved in the initiation of apoptosis, others (caspase 3, 6, and 7) execute the death order by destroying essential proteins in the cell.  The apoptotic process can be summarized as follows: Activation of initiating caspases by specific signals Activation of executing caspases by the initiating caspases which can cleave inactive caspases at specific sites. Degradation of essential cellular proteins by the executing caspases with their protease activity.

Bcl-2 and related proteins part A Introducing the BCL-2 family of proteins important in apoptotic pathways = anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and related proteins part A

BH3 only protein binding specificity for BCL-2 homologues BIM and PUMA bind to all BCL-2 family members tested; by contrast NOXA only binds to A1 and MCL1. These binding specificities recapitulate the ability of these proteins to activate apoptosis e.g. BIM et al can induce apoptosis alone whereas a combination of NOXA and BAD is required. Youle and Strasser (2008) The BCL-2 protein family: opposing activities that mediate cell death. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 9, 47-59

BCL-2 family of proteins have opposing apoptotic activities To summarize….. BCL-2 family of proteins have opposing apoptotic activities 1st set (e.g. Bcl-2 itself) inhibit apoptosis. 2nd set (e.g. BAX) promotes apoptosis. 3rd set (e.g. the BH3 only proteins) bind and regulate the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins to promote apoptosis.

MAJOR PLAYERS IN APOPTOSIS Caspases Adaptor proteins TNF & TNFR family Bcl-2 family

Ligand-induced cell death Ligand Receptor FasL Fas (CD95) TNF TNF-R TRAIL DR4 (Trail-R)

Caspase As shown in the above figure, a variety of death ligands (FasL/CD95L, TRAIL, APO-3L and TNF) can induce apoptosis.  It is natural to see if they can kill cancer cells without affecting normal cells.  TNF was first investigated in the 1980s for cancer therapy, but with disappointing results.  Then CD95L (FasL) was tested in the 1990s. The results were still not satisfactory.  Recently, TRAIL has been demonstrated to be highly selective for transformed cells, with minimal effects on normal cells.  It could be an effective drug for both cancer and AIDS.

REGULATION OF APOPTOSIS Stimuli apoptosis selection of targets (Rich et al., 2000) Apoptosis by conflicting signals that scramble the normal status of cell (Canlon & Raff, 1999) Apoptotic stimulicytokines, death factors (FasL) (Tabibzadeh et al., 1999) DNA breaks  p53 is activated arrest cell cycle or activate self destruction (Blaint & Vousden, 2001)

Importance of Apoptosis Important in normal physiology / development Development: Immune systems maturation, Morphogenesis, Neural development Adult: Immune privilege, DNA Damage and wound repair. Excess apoptosis Neurodegenerative diseases Deficient apoptosis Cancer Autoimmunity

FUTURE PERSPECTIVES The biological roles of newly identified death receptors and ligands need to be studied Need to know whether defects in these ligands and receptors contribute to disease

CONCLUSION an important process of cell death can be initiated extrinsically through death ligands (e.g. TRAIL, FasL) activating initiator caspase 8 through induced proximity. can be initiated intrinsically through DNA damage (via cytochrome c) activating initiator caspase 9 through oligomerization. Initiator caspases 8 and 9 cleave and activate effector caspase 3, which leads to cell death.
